Now Introducing: BEATMAKERS ON STEEM - The Greatest Place for Beats on Steem, Powered by ChainBB

What if it was easier to earn money for your beats? Well, now it is.

Lots of people are out there on Soundcloud trying to sell off beats for a few bucks. It's cool, but it's limiting. I don't want to see musicians forced into a box, chasing trends for a quick buck.

That's why I was fucking excited to see Jesta’s post announcing the new ChainBB sub-forum system. Here's a quick overview:

1. ChainBB is an alternate Steem front-end that is "forum style", as opposed to Steemit's "reddit style."
2. Anybody can spend 10 Steem to launch a new forum
3. The creator of the forum receives a small portion of the rewards (1% of author rewards to start)

This is awesome on a bunch of levels. It's better for building community since you can get everybody in one place, unlike Steemit's gigantic bucket of posts. It incentivizes the forum creator to promote and build the community since they get a tiny slice of the rewards.

You Can Earn Big Rewards on the Beatmaking Forum - Here’s How

I recently joined an electronic music curation group with @kevinwong and @edje - we’re trying to upvote ~10 posts a day. Each vote, if at full strength, is worth $20 - and I’ll be looking at every post in the beatmaking forum for consideration.

That means if you wanna earn $20+ per post, start posting your beats on this thing. No guarantees of course - but if you put some effort into your posts (~200 words, a decent beat, an image or two, new + original material) — it is very likely you’ll get the upvote.

Just to be clear: I do not have sole power over this vote. All decisions are made through a group process… but seriously, we are desperate for more great beats to curate and upvote. So help us out, post more beats, lol.

A Few More Reasons that ChainBB is BEASTMODE

Most importantly: ChainBB is a sustainable model. Imagine that your favorite beat collectives, artists, etc, were building their own communities on ChainBB, and everybody gets paid for the work they do. Fans, journalists, beatmakers, DJs, promoters, everybody gets a piece. It's all transparent and open. That is a model I can believe in.

_{I dream of a day where major beat collectives like Skrillex's OWSLA are on steem.}

@jesta, the founder of ChainBB, has proven to be one of the best and most transparent/communicative developers on all of steem. I'm happy to support his project.

How to Log In and Share Beats on ChainBB

ChainBB is a steem front-end, just like Steemit.com, Busy.org, esteem, Zappl, and many others.

Here's what you do:

(1) Go to the ChainBB front-end: https://beta.chainbb.com

_{It's a few down from the top of the forum list.}

(5) Sit back and watch the money come in (if your shit is good anyway lol)
