Learning how to sell beats online doesn't have to be an extremely hard task. You can do it easily especially if you set up the right foundations for your website. For instance, Soundclick has a free mailing list form which you can use on your site, though many people forget to do this. Gathering emails is one of the best ways to grow your business and reach more potential clients interested in buying rap beats.

Email marketing is definitely far too underestimated in this business... Producer's all around the world hardly even try to promote their mailing list, much less make good use of it's capability to make money.

If you are a beginner, you might wonder if you need to own a piano in order to take beginning piano lessons.

The answer is that it really depends on the type of lessons you choose. For example, if you're taking private lessons at a piano teacher's home, you might not need a piano in you own home. Of course, it will help to have your own piano to practice.

If you plan to learn at home with a book, DVD or online course, then you will need an instrument in front of you to get the most out of these lessons.

Twin Cities Daily Planet archives

Got a long road trip you have to take in the car by yourself and are at a loss for some first-class sounds to keep you company on the way? Out at the park taking a walk with the headphones on and need good stuff to feed your CD player? Kicking back at the crib on a lazy afternoon and want something you can put on the box and savor as you plop down in the easy chair and let the world pass you by for the day? Here's an all-purpose cure for what you might lack: It goes by the name of Wenso Ashby, he of such soul sophisticato as is not to be denied.

Songsmith, producer and keyboardist, Wenso Ashby brandishes quality artistry of the first order and he's released three strong albums to prove it.

It's the kind of music you never get tired of – not if you dig laid back, jazz-drenched magic that washes over you in a soothing wave and brightens your spirits like a dose of pure, unadulterated sunshine.
