How to Choose a Ghost Producer Marketplace to Start Making Money

There are many career paths for a producer. Someone gets a job in a large studio as a mixing or arranging specialist, someone opens his own studio if he has enough money for it, and someone is at the beginning of the path and chooses to freelance for himself as a way to earn money and practice more in making music.

Each of these paths consists of knowledge and experience, goals and preferences. The main topic of our article is track marketplaces, where the so-called ghost producers work. For those who do not know what is the difference between a regular producer and a ghost producer, the answer is that the difference between a ghost producer and a regular producer is that he writes music anonymously for other DJs and artists. In this case, the artist receives full commercial rights to the track and can sign it with his own name.

Now, this is a very sought-after profession and there are specialized track marketplaces where music created by ghost producers is sold. Marketplaces do marketing and attract DJs to the site so that they buy music for themselves. And why don’t DJs write their own music, but spend hundreds of dollars to buy it? The short answer is either they don’t have enough time for it, or they don’t enjoy it enough to spend weeks or months working in the studio. Such artists prefer to focus on performances and other tasks.

If you’re a DJ and need your own music for the same reasons, check out our track catalog where you’ll find hot new releases as well as discounted tracks!

The great advantage of such sites is that producers of different levels can work on them. You can make good money both at the beginning of your journey as a producer and as an experienced craftsman. We will talk about all this in more detail in our article.

Knowledge and experience

Before you determine the starting point in your career, you need to start from your work experience. If you already know how to create music and the quality of the tracks is at a level that can be sent to a label, you can definitely start putting your music up for sale on the tracks marketplace. Keep in mind that if your track gets bought, the artist-buyer will most likely want to send it to a label, so it must meet the technical specifications and must be of high quality.

Usually, in the section with conditions for cooperation with ghost producers, marketplaces indicate the requirements for tracks. But that doesn’t mean you need 10 years of experience making music. If you have been productively studying and working on the quality of your music for a whole year, you will most likely be able to write music that will meet the requirements of the industry.

What are your goals?

Goals are necessary and important in any area of our life. The goals determine the path that we should take, as well as the plan that we need to draw up to achieve the goals. Most often, the main reason producers come to track marketplaces is to make money and get a free work schedule.

An additional goal may be: to gain experience in writing music of various genres, to earn money to open your own studio or simply to buy better equipment, to receive additional professional education. Decide for yourself what your goals are and this will help you choose how to achieve them.

Benefits of a Marketplace for Ghost Producers

Such sites are popular with ambitious producers who want to do what they love, depend on no one and receive a decent income for their work. These advantages are the main motives due to which producers come to work on marketplaces selling tracks.

Another advantage is promotion and marketing, which is handled by marketplace specialists. You as a producer do not need to spend your time advertising your activities and your music – these tasks fall on the shoulders of marketers. You just have to follow the trends in the music industry and create high-quality, relevant and in-demand music, because these indicators will be key and will affect the sale of your tracks and, accordingly, your financial success.

Criteria for choosing a marketplace

Let’s get down to the main topic of the article – how does a ghost producer choose potential sites for work?

To begin with, you need to take into account several criteria that relate to the characteristics and capabilities of potential marketplaces. You have to consider what potential these venues have and which ones suit the styles of music you work in or plan to work in. Let’s take a look at the main criteria for choosing sites in order.

Track catalog

Go to the track catalog on the site and evaluate its volume. Also pay attention to what genres and in what quantity are presented in the catalog. If your genre is not on the site, then sales of your music may be low. The presence of a large catalog of music indicates that the marketplace is popular, which means that there is a potential to make good money here.

Another good indicator of sales can be a “Sold” mark next to a track that has already been purchased. If there are many such tracks, this is another signal that the tracks are actively sold on the marketplace. You can also see which genres and styles of music are popular and sell the most. This will help you see the potential for learning to write music that is not your typical genre.

Terms of cooperation

Find the section for ghost producers on the site, where information is written about the requirements for ghost producers and the conditions for cooperation. Make sure that the conditions that the marketplace offers are suitable for you: royalties for the sold track, conditions for sales, and others. If some information is not on the site, it is better to write to support in advance and ask so that you can be sure that all the conditions suit you.

Blog

This may seem like an indirect advantage, but sites try to post useful information for DJs on their blogs, which helps them get answers to important questions, including about using purchased tracks for career development. In general, the blog allows you to attract buyers to the music that ghost producers post. Therefore, the presence of a quality blog with useful articles will be a good advantage.

Conclusion
