This is the main idea in general, so it would seem. 

As a proprietor in a digital age, the best options available to me at the click of a mouse include options like one at iStandardproducer.com that offer placements for beats. Sites like these guarantee some sort of avenue producers can use to connect with artists or get television placements (synchronization licensing royalties) etc. Beatplacements.com is another site with similar services that offer brokering, publishing, and placements through developed relationships with the pros. These websites stress the artist’s need for production services. They limit submission to control the amount of non-favorable works reviewed to save time and resources. It is important to be careful with dealing with sites like these when there is no certainty of an official business presence. Given the nature of the site's intent, it would be unlikely to notice a trademark of the Better Business Bureau, however it is still wise to check a website’s credibility.  To maximize profit is always best to self publish your beats.  This will help you cut costs that will cause you to have to inflate to meet the cost of your marketing demands marketing demands.  You do not necessarily need to sell them by hand, but through the many forms of online digital distribution mentioned. You should also consider any marketing strategy that creates strong brand awareness. What do you think?
