How to List Beats With Licence Options
A beat listing needs more than a preview and a price. Buyers need to see which files and licence terms belong to each option. Prepare the files and review your own terms before making the listing available.
Before you start
Have a preview, artwork and the delivery files for each option. Use material you have the rights to offer. This guide covers the product setup; it does not choose legal terms for your work.
Steps
Prepare the files
Upload and name the MP3, WAV or stems packages you intend to supply. Keep the public preview separate from the purchased delivery files. Listen to the preview and check each archive before attaching it.
Create the beat listing
Add the beat in the product workflow with its name, artwork and preview. Choose the licence options you want to offer. Beatro starts with MP3, WAV and stems leases and an exclusive; you choose the prices, files and limits.
Review each option
Check the price, delivery files and terms for every enabled licence. Do not assume a file attached to one option is attached to another. Only offer an exclusive if that option is appropriate for the rights you hold.
Publish and check the fan view
Open the public beat page and compare each option with your intended offer. Buyers receive the files and a printable licence by email. A sold exclusive takes the beat off sale, so plan your promotion around its availability.
Check
Keep a copy of the files and terms you offer. When a buyer asks about permitted use, refer to their actual licence rather than the name of the option alone.
