PROkits are high-quality sound kits created by BeatStars producers to offer other producers unique sounds to incorporate into their own work.
Right from the moment you visit the PROKits section on BeatStars, the kits are featured prominently, giving them immediate front-page access. This visibility can be crucial in reaching more producers who are actively searching for new sounds.
The benefits of offering PROKits
One of the primary benefits of creating a PROKit is the increased opportunity for discovery. Producers who only offer beats for purchase have less chances to be found through the BeatStars search function. But, if you expand your offerings by creating sound kits, services, or playlists, you’re opening multiple avenues for discovery.
Think of it like this: the more ways people can search and find you, the better. By being in the PROKit program, you’re giving yourself additional chances to be discovered by a wider audience.
Free downloads for Pro users
One of the most intriguing aspects of BeatStars PROkits is the way they’re offered to users. Each month, users with a Pro subscription are given ten credits per month to redeem for free kits.
Since users are limited in how many kits they can access each month, there’s always a chance they’ll come back to explore more options and purchase more in the future.
Why give away kits for free with credits?
You might be wondering why producers would give away sound kits for free in the first place. The key here is opportunity. Just like offering free downloads of beats, providing free access to kits creates more chances for placements. If more people are using your sounds in their productions, the likelihood of landing a successful track increases.
It’s worth noting that when someone redeems a PROKit using their credits, you won’t receive direct monetary compensation. However, if they choose to purchase the kit outright without using credits, you will earn compensation for that sale. This flexibility ensures that PROKits are accessible to everyone, whether they are using Pro subscription credits or making direct purchases, giving you the potential for both exposure and revenue.
Still, the benefits of offering free kits can help you build your email list and targeted advertising audience, allowing for more strategic marketing in the future. You still retain ownership and can set terms for usage. By providing these kits, you’re essentially increasing the chances that someone will use your sounds in a project that gains traction.
Maximize exposure
At the end of the day, success as a producer often comes down to numbers. Yes, the quality of your music is vital, but the more people who have access to your sounds, the better your chances of success. You don’t want to limit yourself by only offering paid kits or tracks. Some producers or artists might not have the budget to buy multiple kits, and by offering them for free via credits, you’re opening the door to more potential collaborations and placements.
It’s all about accessibility, opportunity, and collaboration. When you make your sounds more widely available, you increase the chances that someone will use them in a project, potentially leading to more exposure.
Take advantage of every opportunity
If you’re a producer looking to increase your chances of success, don’t pigeonhole yourself into offering only one type of product. By creating PROKits, you’re giving yourself additional visibility and multiple pathways for discovery. Whether people redeem them with credits or purchase them outright, offering a variety of sound kits can expand your reach and increase your chances of landing more placements.
