How to Create Collections

Overview

In this article, you'll learn how to create a collection out of existing tracks you've already uploaded.

IMPORTANT NOTE: In order to create a collection, you will need to upload tracks first. If you don't have any tracks, check out this article to learn how to create one first: How Do I Upload Tracks?

Step-by-step Guide:

1. From your BeatStars Studio, click the "Create" button and select "Create Collection" to get started.
   
   
   You can also navigate to your Collection section and click "+ Add Collection".
   
   
2. On the "Basic Info" tab, you can change the information about your Collection that will be visible on your Marketplace or Pro Page.
   
   
   
   • Artwork: Change the artwork by clicking 'Edit Artwork' to upload a file or create new artwork in Canva.
   • Title: Choose a name for your Collection.
   • Release Date: Schedule a future release date, or leave it as today's date for immediate release.
   • Description (optional): Add a description of the collection. This will appear on the collection page to provide more information about the collection for potential buyers.
     
     
3. Finally, you can set the visibility of the Collection: 
   • Private: if you only want your collection to be visible to you.
   • Public: if you want your collection to be visible to everyone on Marketplace & Pro Page.
   • Unlisted: if you want your collection to be visible only to those you send the link to.
     
     
4. Click "Next Step" when you are finished.
   
   
5. Include up to 3 tags for your Collection. Click "Next Step" when finished.
   
   
   
6. Click the “Add Tracks to Collection” button to select the tracks to add to your Collection. Click the “Next Step” button when finished.
   
   
   
7. Choose the pricing for the collection. Click the “Next Step” button when finished.
   
   
   
8. If you worked with anyone else on the collection, you can add your collaborators. You can set the profit share, which will split the earnings made from sales on BeatStars, and you are able to enter publishing percentages.
   
   
9. Review your data on the final page, then click "Publish" to publish your collection to BeatStars.
