Many people don´t know the difference between my offers. So I will explain the concept of beat licensing and particularly focus on the differences between Exclusive and Non-Exclusive Licenses.
The concept of beat licensing is not hard to understand. A producer makes a beat and uploads it to their beat store. Any artist can buy these beats directly from the store and use it for their own songs.
In exchange for their purchase, the producer will provide the artist with a license agreement. A document that grants the artist certain user-rights to create and distribute a song.
Artists often asks for "free Beats". That is a common misconception. Even when a producer agrees and sends the artist a free beat. The truth is, that free beat is useless as there is no legal proof and permission to use it. This is where the license agreement comes in.
When you own the Exclusive Rights to a beat, there are no limitations on user rights. Meaning that an artist can exploit the song to the fullest.
There is no maximum number of streams, plays, sales or downloads nor is there an expiration date on the contract.
The song may also be used in numerous different projects. Singles, albums, music videos etc. In comparison to non-exclusive licenses.
Because I can no longer sell an exclusive beat. It is logically more expensive than a non-exclusive license. After all, I have to make up for the "loss" I suffer when I can't make any more money with you.
A short example: I sell a beat 10 times a year for EUR 25. Then, of course, I have to charge EUR 250 for an exclusive beat so that I have compensated for 1 year.
Although I could of course sell 1 beat for more than just 1 year as a non-exclusive.
