The Marketplace vs. Your Own Brand. Can they work together?
BeatStars changed the game. They created an ecosystem where producers could finally be seen. It is, without a doubt, the best place to get discovered by artists who are browsing for beats.
But as your career grows, you might notice a ceiling. You're sending traffic to a page where your competitors are just one click away. You're paying monthly fees but still feel like you're "renting" your business.
Supaflo isn't a marketplace. It's your own private real estate. Let's explore the difference between renting a booth at a fair (BeatStars) and owning your own building (Supaflo).

BeatStars is a mall. It's crowded, exciting, and full of traffic. But when an artist comes to your profile, the "Related Tracks" or search bar tempts them to look elsewhere.
That's great for the marketplace, but risky for you.
Supaflo is your private studio. When a customer lands on your funnel, there are no other producers, no ads, and no distractions. It's 100% focused on YOUR music and YOUR brand. This typically leads to higher conversion rates for paid traffic.
We don't think you should delete your BeatStars account. In fact, you should keep it! It's excellent for passive discovery.
However, whenever you run ads, send emails, or post links on Instagram, send them to your Supaflo site. specificallly.
When you sell on a marketplace, the customer often feels like they bought from "BeatStars," not from "You."
Supaflo gives you full control over the Facebook Pixel, TikTok Pixel, and Google Analytics. This means you can retarget people who listened to a beat but didn't buy, or people who added to cart.
This level of data control is the secret weapon of 6-figure producers. It turns "hoping for sales" into a predictable machine.
Keep your marketplace profile for the extra visibility. But build your empire on your own land using Supaflo.
