1. How To Sell More Hip Hop Beats Online
SEO TIPS
I hope you have your website up and running? I bet you’re really excited about getting it finished
and your ready to get selling straight away. Only one problem, you actually have to get people to
come to your website. There are so many ways to get people to visit your website, I can’t talk
about them all, but what I will share with you is information that some companies pay thousands
upon thousands of dollars for. That of course is Search Engine Optimization, or SEO for short.
SEO is the process used to get your website higher on the search engines. SEO is like an art. It’s
something that the more you do, the better you get at it. But it’s very simple to start doing and I
will help you get started by giving you the most crucial essence of SEO.
Now before I start, I want you to goto Google.com and search for 3 different terms, “sell beats”,
“selling beats online” and “how to sell beats”. Now you’re probably thinking why on earth
would I ask you to do that? Well, because I want you to see that my website myflashstore.net is
actually listed on the first page of all 3 of those very popular search terms. Now apart from me
obviously showing off, I wanted to let you see that the information i’m going to give you is all
for real and I wanted prove that I am an SEO expert.
The essence of SEO is back links. Back links are HTML hyperlinks from other websites that link
back to yours. Google see’s each back link to your website as a vote for your site, and just like
any competition, the more votes you have, the better you are.
First you create an anchor link that the person clicks on initially. Here is the HTML code for the
anchor link.
<a href=”your-website-adress”>Your Anchor Text</a>
For example, if I wanted to allow folks jump from the words “Hot Rap Beats”: <a href=”your-
website-adress”>Hot Rap Beats Beats</a>
Now if you want to appear high up in searches on Google for the term “hot rap beats”, you must
make sure you get as many links to your website with the anchor text as “hot rap beats”, so your
link would be;
So many people get wrong and I don’t want you to make the same mistake. The anchor text
MUST be the term for which you want to appear higher on Google for. Most people put their
website name as the anchor text and that’s all wrong. You will automatically appear high up on
searches for “yourwebsite.com”, so use the links for more important terms.
So, how do you get back links? Simple, you just go around the internet emailing other website
owners, asking politely if they would exchange links with you. You’re going to want to set up a
links page somewhere on your website, so every time you find someone who will exchange links
with you, you can place their link on your links page and they will do the same.

2. Although there is so much more involved in the whole process, and there are so many other
(secret) ways to help you get better search engine placements, the whole essence of it is simply
to getting back links. Get as many as you can and you might meet me at the top of Google one
day.
Google Analytic
If you don’t know already, Google Analytics is an amazing tool to help you keep track of all the
visitors to your site. It gives you an unbelievable amount of information that will help you in
marketing your website.
Google Analytics is absolutely free, you can sign up here http://www.google.com/analytics/.
When you sign up you are given a small piece of code which you have to copy and paste onto
every page on your website. This will help you keep track of what pages people visit and what
websites they have come from.
It is important to know which website people come from because this is a great way to test out
any advertisements or banners you have on other people’s website. You can see how many visits
you have from this website, then you can decide whether the advertisement or banner is working
for you.
There are so many more advanced features of Google Analytics like setting up sales goals, and
tracking how many sales you have made. You can even see which website someone came from
before they purchased from your site. This is amazing information because you can see which
websites are bringing in the most sales, so you can push yourself more on whatever website that
is.
To get all these advanced features, it takes a bit of time to set up, but it is really worth your time
to do. You can find loads of useful Analytics videos here that might help you understand it a bit
more http://www.youtube.com/googleanalytics.

3. Analytics is an amazing tool that when used properly can help you fine tune your marketing
campaign for maximum effectiveness.
Get on FORUMS
The most important thing about being in the music industry is to get as much exposure as
possible. The great thing about selling beats online is that you can get so much exposure for free.
One great way to get exposure is utilizing forums.
Now I know we spoke before about having your own forum, but this is different, this is actually
making yourself known on other people’s forums. For example, one of my favorite forums is
FutureProducers.com, I post on here regularly helping other people and adding real value to
discussions.
Search around Google for forums where you think artists may hang out, then make some really
valuable posts on that forum. Posting valuable information does not mean spamming the hell out
of the forum, this is unethical and just doesn’t work. Spamming is counteractive and will only
lose you respect.
When you join a forum, you’ll want to set a signature which appears at the bottom of every one
of your posts. In this signature you can post a link to your website. People only tend to click on
this link if you are active in the forum and post valuable information so make sure that’s exactly
what you do.
Staying active on as many forums as you can possibly manage is priceless to your business and
will bring you in huge amounts of traffic and cost you absolutely nothing. Don’t underestimate
the power of this technique.
