How do I grow my email list as a producer on BeatStars?

Beat Store : https://stephenallenmusic.beatstars.com/

An email list is one of your most valuable tools for turning listeners into customers. While social platforms change constantly, email lets you speak directly to artists and fans anytime—especially when you’re dropping new beats or offering a sale.


 Why You Need an Email List

  • Direct line to potential customers
  • Helps you recover abandoned plays or carts
  • Great for launching new beat packs, bundles, and exclusives
  • You own it—it’s not controlled by algorithms


 5 Proven Ways to Build Your Email List


1. Use “Free Download With Email” on BeatStars

  • Turn on the email capture option for free downloads
  • Offer something valuable (e.g., one free beat, mini-pack, or exclusive loop)
  • Make sure the beat is  so artists want to come back

 They get something free—you get a lead you can nurture.


2. Create a Simple Landing Page

  • Use tools like:
    • Mailchimp
    • ConvertKit
    • Beacons
    • Carrd.co
  • Add an opt-in form offering:
    • “3 free beats for signing up”
    • “Discount codes + exclusive drops”
    • “Producer secrets newsletter for indie artists”

 Keep the form short: name + email only.


3. Promote the Opt-In Across Your Content

  • Mention your offer in:
    • Instagram bio
    • TikTok caption
    • YouTube video descriptions and pinned comments
  • Add a CTA:
    “ Grab 3 free beats — link in bio!”
    “Sign up and get 25% off your first beat pack!”


4. Add Value Through Your Emails

  • Don’t just send sales pitches—send useful stuff like:
    • Beat previews and early access
    • Artist tips or tools
    • Deals, bundles, and new drops
  • Use consistent branding and tone of voice

 If your emails are valuable, people will actually read them.


5. Follow Up With an Automation Series

  • Send a welcome email immediately
  • Then follow with a 3–5 email sequence over a week:
    1. Thank them for signing up
    2. Offer a bonus or coupon
    3. Highlight your top beats
    4. Share a testimonial or success story
    5. Invite them to reply or ask questions


 Final Thought:

Building your email list gives you leverage as a producer. Focus on offering real value in exchange for contact—and you’ll create a list of artists who are more likely to buy, engage, and stick with you for the long haul.
