WordPress Beat Selling Theme Coming Soon! Feedback Needed!

  • by Mark V
  • March 19, 2009

Soon I will be releasing a Beat Selling WordPress theme. This was designed with a producer in mind.

This a simple one page theme that you can put in unlimited beats on to sell.

If your not familiar with WordPress, it is a free easy to use blogging software that is very popular, in fact it powers HipHopMakers.com

So what can you do with this theme???

  • You can upload mp3s easily, along with setting a tempo, genre, license, price, and link for them to buy your beat
  • Post twitter updates instantly, to keep everyone updated dated on your happenings
  • Promote other social sites you are on to help with networking
  • Build a list up email subscribers that will be notified when ever you add a new beat
  • And Most importantly focus on you and your music

If your already selling your beats on Roc Beats or any site. When you send someone to your page to buy beats, you are exposing them to hundreds of other producers on that same site. This could be good if your on the top of the charts, or it can be bad too cause maybe they will see better songs and better prices for beats.

So I’m all about trying to make you guys independent, so this theme will be coming out real soon.

But before I launch it, I want feedback:

  • What do you like about it?
  • What don’t you like about?
  • What is it missing?
  • Would you use it?
  • Do you see errors?

This is for you guys, so let me know so I can improve it.

Note: It’s sample music, all the text up there is fake.

    So what’s the verdict on this? Did you trash the idea, or are you still working on it? Just wondering. I think it’s a great idea, but never materialized.

    I take it since the post is from 2009 that it never made it.

    im digging the whole Idea you should do a video showing us how to use this as well as changing the text on the page just pretty much a rundown of what you can do with the page that way kats wont be asking you the same question. oh as far as the terms and agreement do you have a templet for leasing and exclusive rights contracts or can we add our own.

    Any updates on when this will be released? Thanks for your hard work on this. I guess people are getting really anxious to start using this. Is there a way that we can customize this to look different? Not sure if everyone wants theirs to look the same as everyone elses.

    Is there a way to add a comments section? I know people are into their gear and like to display it, can you add a studio gear section? I also agree with adding a section for videos. Take away that twitter box unless you can have it auto update with the twitter feed?

    This is a dope idea! Looks good. Question though, would I need to set up an entirely new blog for this, or can it be added as a new page to an existing one? If not, I’m thinking that maybe I can just apply the theme and rearrange/recreate my previously existing content.

    Thanks homie!

    T.O.N.Y.

      Hi Tony. I’m glad you like the theme. Unfortunately i don’t know how to make it into a page to add into a existing theme. But I do like that idea, So I will think about that some more and research it. But that will take a while.

    Great idea and great service. You’re the man. Couple of suggestions:

    - Maybe show what payment methods can be accepted up top? Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, etc.

    - Maybe have a link to some terms and conditions so customers can find out exactly how they can use the beats.

    Besides that, awesome job!

    This is a great simple + customizable theme by Mark. I’m really feeling it.

    I’ve been checking it out and I think its what Producers online need today.

    I think its great that you can add your subscribe, social and PayPal links.

    Keep up the good work!

    Hey this looks good so far. If you can make this a full blog where you can put your latest news, updates, or just blog rants would be cool.

    Also, auto page through beats once you get so many on a page make it go to page 1, 2, 3, 4 and make it a link on the sidebar as STORE.

    Photos, Videos, & Texting are all important. (Which i know you already know)

    Yo, i like it looks like a good beat template…Does 100% of the money go to your paypal(or other) or does wordpress take some selling fees?

    also it should have a section for our Myspace,Bebo,Facebook,etc

      hi, for the links on the right side, you will be able to add anything links you want. I just put a few up there for example.

      and wordpress doesn’t charge a fee. bu you will have to use pay pal, which charges a very small fee

      I’m still trying to make changes on the back end of it, and i’m was hoping to get suggestions, and i’m not really getting to much feedback at the moment except make a plugin. Which I don’t know how to do.

      So it will be done in about 2 weeks. maybe a little less.

      Everything I know about wordpress, pretty much came from me adding features to this site. I have never worked on adding a plugin to the Hip Hop Makers site. So I don’t know who to make one

    Looks good so far! A section for basic beats and customized beats, maybe a check box for the customer choosing whether they want the beat “tracked out” (for an extra fee), and a section describing the leasing/exclusive terms.
    Thanks for the template!

    • hiphopmakers says:
      March 19, 2009 at 4:30 pm

      I agree with you. I meant to put something with the leasing terms.

      The tracked out feature, I’ll work on.

      Thanks for the comment
