I want to start selling my songs professionally, but I don't know where to start. Help. BTW, I'm selling songs and rights to songs for $30. I'm talking real business.

Check out my remix to the Sonic the Hedgehog boss theme, Luminescence
Also check out my R&B track, Complete (newly remastered)

Ever hear of a record deal?

Try that, but it's hard if you're not exactly the best.

He used the term "beats", so I'm guessing he is looking to sell his songs to rappers, MCs, etc.

For that you'd just need contacts.
MySpace has a load of that shit coming in on my friend requests. So you could probably start whoring yourself there/establishing contacts.

Soundclick is too huge to get noticed. They don't even have a newest submissions list on the frontpage. :(

You should also look into getting your own website and selling them there yourself.

That's what I did with my first demo. Just replace "tape" with "cd" and "grocery store" with "backpack"

I sold 20!!! (My mom bought 13, LOL)

I suck as a salesman :-(

I won't sleep with you.

you might have a very musical mom :))) quite a fan of your music ...
my mom would never ... ever ... she would ask for free stuff instead ... anyway, she's more into rock than into what i do (jazz) .
she is a fan of Yngwie Malmsteen, but the weyrdest thing was that when i was listening to Korn's acoustic album, she told me:
-Not bad, but the other version i like more (electric/metal/distorted one)

To be honest, your best chances of getting noticed first, is to hook up with a local emcee or vocalist who can work with your beats, get a demo/ep made up, start passing it out on the streets, in your schools, even to any local hip hop stations. Then get a website made up, or even a myspace will do for starters, then when people ask you what you've done and why should they buy from you, you'll have some more cred to throw back other than good reviews on NG.

By the way, you've got the tallent, I enjoyed your sounds. Keep it up.
