A few quick words about free beats:
The market for independent artists and musicians has been rapidly changing over the years primarily due to the introduction of the internet. The market has shifted from a strictly offline modus into an online one. Many artists that are looking for free beats traded the internet for the neighborhood’s local producer because of the large catalog and variety producers put out on their websites. Producers in pursue of making a living based on an offline beat hustle think twice before giving out free beats to their clientele. However, there are many talented artists looking for free beats who are financially incapable of buying them. With the rise of the internet different sites gradually started to offer free beats.
Free Beats: generosity and investment.
Most of these sites however, only offer free beats that are used by an established artist already. When we found out these sites only offered that type of free beats we at (SITENAME) thought of building a site which would support these unsigned artists without a budget by offering them high quality free beats that are unique. Giving away free beats that are used by industry heavy weights does not help artists since it would never help them getting a sound that distinguishes them.
Producers do not give away free beats because it does not fill their pockets. But what if an artist whom has given a free beat makes a hit song to it and lands a deal or is able to sell it to a signed artist ? These are possibilities that are often not considered by these producers who refuse to give out free beats. By giving away free beats you do not only help the artist that is in need of personal expression and career building, but you could also be helping your own business in the long run.
Free Beats = More Buyers.
Another reason that supports giving away free beats is that of building clientele. Although these artist do not have a lot to spent at present does not mean they will never get their money right. And when they do, guess who they will come to in order to buy leases or even exclusives ? Exactly, the source that has been supporting them by giving them free beats all this time.
Concluding, there are several reasons to give a artist free beats. It is not only to help the people who are in need (which is a noble cause to begin with), but (as illustrated) it could only be for your own benefit. If helping people does not inspire you to do some free work every now and then and this strategy of giving away free beats does not benefit you in the long run you can always make the decision to stop doing it. Just try giving out some free beats, and if people buy more beats it’s worth it. If they don’t, cut free beats out.
