Introducing The Beat Marketplace: Where Our Producers Earn Money And Our Artists Level Up - Starting January 2026

We have been talking for a long time about how to get more money, more momentum, and more music flowing inside the Beatcave ecosystem. This is one of those moves.

We’re opening the Beatcave Beat Marketplace and you are invited to be part of the first wave.

This is not a random beat store. It is a members-only seller platform curated for serious creatives who want clean business, fair splits, and real opportunity.

If you are a producer, you get a new way to earn.If you are an artist, you get a trusted place to buy exclusive beats from people inside your own community.

Let’s break it down.

What The Beat Marketplace Actually Is

At launch, the marketplace is focused on exclusive beats only.

No confusing license tiers. No messy terms.

You buy it, it is yours. You sell it, you get paid. Simple.

For producers

• Members get to sell exclusives through Beatcave.

• You keep 100 percent of every sale after card fees. No platform cut. No hidden “admin fee.”

• You get exposure through our weekly Beat Packs and monthly producer spotlights.

For artists

• You get access to a curated catalogue of exclusive beats from producers who live inside the same ecosystem as you.

• You can hear the quality, feel the community, and know that every beat has cleared our bar for sound, labelling, and metadata.

• You can stop digging through random YouTube channels and work directly with producers who actually care about their craft.

Pricing That Rewards Members

We built the pricing so membership actually matters.

Member pricing (for buyers):

• Exclusives range from $79.99 to $99.99 CAD

Non-member pricing (for buyers):

• Exclusives range from $129.99 to $149.99 CAD

If you are an artist, being a Beatcave member means you are paying less for exclusive records, while still putting strong money into the pockets of community producers.

If you are a producer, the pricing is set so you can earn real income without racing to the bottom.

Weekly Beat Packs And Monthly Spotlights

To keep things moving and fresh, we are introducing a consistent drop schedule.

• Weekly Beat Pack Drop: Every Tuesday at 11 a.m. ET, we release a curated Beat Pack through the marketplace.

  • Members get 48 hours of early access before the rest of the world.

  • If you are an artist, that is your window to lock in records before anyone else.

  • If you are a producer, this is your chance to be part of the weekly “front shelf” of our store.

    
    

• Monthly Producer SpotlightsMarketplace members will be eligible for:

  • Monthly spotlights highlighting you and your work

  • One Instagram post feature to push your beats and your story to our wider audience

    
    

We want your beats to be seen, not just buried in a long list.

How Many Beats You Can List By Membership Tier

We want quality and consistency, not spam. Your membership tier sets your monthly listing limits:

• Connect: up to 1 listing per month

• Build: up to 3 listings per month

• Elevate: up to 5 listings per month

This keeps the marketplace tight, curated, and focused. If you want more shelf space, you already know what to do: upgrade your tier, increase your output, step into a bigger lane.

How Payouts Work For Producers

starts moving. Here is the exact flow:

1. Buyer checks out on Beatcave: They purchase your beat through our site.

2. You deliver files within 24 hours: You send us the files for the beat. This includes all agreed deliverables (WAV, MP3, stems if applicable).

3. We send to the buyer and open a 72 hour verification windowThe buyer has 72 hours to confirm everything is correct and working.

4. You send an invoice: Once the verification window closes, you send an invoice for the full sale price minus card processor fees.

5. We pay you Net 3 business days after the verification window closes: Quick turnaround. Clean paper trail.

Everything is tracked, time-boxed, and handled like real business, not vibes.

Our Quality Bar And Curation

This is not a “dump everything you ever made” marketplace.

We curate weekly to keep the standard high. Here is what we prioritize:

• Clear, descriptive titles: No vague names. We want artists to know what they are hearing.

• Accurate tags and metadata: Correct BPM, key (if possible), genre, mood, and energy. No random tagging.

• Strong artwork: Visuals matter. Beats with solid cover art get more attention.

• Clean mastersThe mix and master must be release-ready. No distorted, muddy, or unfinished files.

The best submissions can receive:

• Editor’s Pick badges

• Front page placement in the marketplace

• Extra visibility across our ecosystem

If your beats are ready for real campaigns, we want them at the front of the store.

Why This Matters If You Are An Artist

Artists inside Beatcave have been asking for a place where:

• The quality is consistent

• The terms are simple

• The producers are real people, not bots or faceless channels

The Beat Marketplace gives you:

• A trusted pipeline for exclusive beats

• Member pricing that makes building your catalogue sustainable

• Direct lines to producers you can build long-term relationships with

You are not just buying a one-off instrumental. You are deepening your bench.

Why This Matters If You Are A Producer

If you are already making beats, the question is simple:

How many of them are actually making you money?

With the Beat Marketplace, you get:

• A members-only sales channel plugged into a growing, national community

• No platform cut, so your margins are better from day one

• Built-in marketing support through Beat Packs, spotlights, and social features

• A structure that forces you to treat your beat catalogue like a real business, not a hobby folder

If you want to grow as a producer, you need distribution, visibility, and a clean system for getting paid. This is our version of that system.
