Lets go over how you can register your beats through the US government and use that copyright to then setup a BMI account and register that "works" to collect royalty payments.

Copyright your beats here (in bulk):
http://www.copyright.gov

Create a BMI or ASCAP account:

2. Create a works number for the beats
3. Give this works number to your clients for each track
4. BMI / ASCAP will handle payouts to you and your client
