ARTIST QUESTIONS
Sell your beats where your listeners and the artists who rap on them already find you, and keep the link with them after the sale.
The usual options
Beat stores reach rappers looking for instrumentals. Your own site gives you control but needs traffic. A direct creation platform like HYK puts your beats, your other creations and your community on one page.
Exclusive or open
An exclusive beat sells once, so you can price it higher. An open beat can be bought by many people. On HYK you set the stock: 1 for an exclusive, more for an open edition.
A real example
DJ Kwan publishes his “Kwanobeat” series on HYK, one beat per creation, each in a single copy. R-ASH sold a remix instrumental at €5.
What you keep
On HYK you keep 100% of your price. The buyer pays a 10% service fee and the payment fees on top.
Next step: Publish your first beat on HYK at app.hyk.media. Then read the Pricing and Exclusives guides.
