There are thousands of producers world wide trying to sell beats fast, struggling to find a new source of income from their beats, and with the rise of the digital era some believe that it's becoming impossible to sell beats without the use of a record label. Since back in the “good old days” everybody flocked to labels in order to make a few bucks, nowadays people are having some serious trouble adjusting.
What if I told you that the new industry is completely online and that if you want to sell your beats the best way to do so is using the internet? Making beats is becoming more and more affordable with programs such as Fruity Loops or Reason, and that means that record labels are being bombarded with beat CD's and demo tapes more than at any other point in history. Even back in the day it was hard to contact a label, but now they have huge mountains of mail piled high every week. Where is your package in that endless mound anyway?

They said that 'at the end of last year, the music business was worth half of what it was ten years ago and the decline doesn't look like it will be slowing anytime soon'. Many believe that the main reason for this decline is the increased popularity of digital music. The report quotes the former Head of Yahoo Music as saying 'The CD is still disappearing, and nothing is replacing it in entirety as a revenue generator. Digital downloads are not even going to replace what the CD business did for the industry.” However, digital licensing revenue has reached toward $100 billion in 2009, and we expect it to grow even further in the next couple of years.
