There's only one way to sell a beat. You give your client the beat and they pay you. It's as simple as that. It doesn't cost you anything to sell it because you're, well, selling it. But that was a broad question. Are you looking for info on how much to sell it for, legal contracts, licensing, etc... Be a little more specific and we can help you out better.
I can say to always have a contract that outlines the terms of the beat you're selling. Is it exclusive or non-exclusive. How many points you're asking for if this is going on someones album that's gonna be packaged and sold in stores with a barcode. You gotta cover the basics in the contract. How much you're selling it for. If they're leasing the beat, how long is the lease. Do you have the right to continue to shop the beat, that means it'll be non-exclusively sold to the artist. But you don't just want to sell a beat, get cash and that's it. Make sure you get credit for the beat and make sure it's copyrighted. Keep a copy of the receipt for selling the beat. Yes you should give them a receipt just like they bought something from a store. Plus you need to keep track of the money you make off selling beats for your own tax purposes especially if you're registered as a business. It's alot to be covered, but if you're more specific that'll help. Peace.
