How BeatBid works

Live beat auctions for producers and artists. Here's everything you need to know to jump in.

For artists

Find and win your next beat

Discover producers going live, bid in real time, and download stems once you win.

1

Sign up and get approved

Create an account and join the waitlist. Once approved, you can browse and bid.

2

Browse live producers

Head to Browse to see who's live right now. Favorite producers to get notified when they go live.

3

Bid in real time

Join an auction, chat with the producer, and bid before the timer hits zero. Highest bid wins.

4

Pay through secure escrow

When you win, your card is charged and funds are held in escrow until the producer delivers stems.

5

Get your beat and stems

Download your files from the Purchased page. Approve delivery to release payment to the producer.

6

Build your library

Follow your favorite producers, get notified when they schedule a session, and never miss a drop.

For producers

Sell beats live to a live audience

Set up your channel, schedule sessions, go live, and get paid via Stripe.

1

Create your producer account

Sign up, pick the producer role, and claim your @handle. This becomes your public channel URL.

2

Set up your channel

Add an avatar, banner, bio, and social links. Connect Stripe so you can receive payouts.

3

Schedule your sessions

Add weekly online hours or one-off scheduled sessions. Followers get notified before you go live.

4

Go live and queue beats

Start a stream from your dashboard, queue up beats, and set starting bids for each one.

5

Run the auction

Talk to the room, hype the beat, and watch bids fly in. End the auction whenever you're ready.

6

Deliver and get paid

Upload stems for the winner. Once they approve, escrow releases the funds directly to your Stripe.
