Collaboration is a powerful way to level up your beats, expand your reach, and tap into new audiences. BeatStars makes it easier than ever to split sales and upload shared projects. But for it to work smoothly, communication and clarity are key.


 Why Collaborate?

  • Combine different strengths (e.g., melodies + drums)
  • Double your exposure to each producer’s fan base
  • Get creative inspiration and learn new skills
  • Share the workload on production, marketing, and uploading


 How to Start a Collab


  1. Find the Right Producer

  • Look for producers with a complementary sound, not just the same style
  • Engage with their content and message them respectfully:
    “Yo, I love your melodic vibe—would you be down to collab on something? I’ve got a few drum ideas that could match your sound.”


 2. Use BeatStars' Collab Feature

  • When uploading a beat, choose the Collaboration Upload option
  • Add your collaborator’s BeatStars account to the track
  • BeatStars automatically splits revenue and credits

No PayPal splitting, no guesswork—just automatic payouts.


 3. Agree on Terms Early

Before finalizing the beat, make sure you agree on:

  • Revenue splits (50/50 is common, but flexible)
  • Who uploads where (e.g., both upload, or only one)
  • Licensing terms and pricing
  • Who handles promotion and customer questions

 Pro Tip: Write this out in a shared doc or text confirmation.


 4. Upload with Proper Credit

  • Use a clear title:
    “Drake Type Beat – Lights Down (Prod. by You & CollabName)”
  • Include both producer names/tags in the description and metadata


 Bonus Tips

  • Try sending MIDI files, loops, or stems back and forth via Google Drive or WeTransfer
  • Promote each other’s collabs across platforms (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok)
  • Keep a spreadsheet to track who you’ve worked with and the results


 Final Thought:

BeatStars collaborations are not just about making a hot beat—they’re about building long-term relationships that benefit both producers creatively and financially.
