How To Promote And Market Music On YouTube For YouTube Promotion
How can music be promoted on YouTube? It’s not a simple job. Despite investing our hearts and souls into the music and video material, the majority of us are stuck with a few hundred YouTube views per video.
It’s not the way it ought to be.I’ll discuss what I’ve discovered about using YouTube promotion for my band’s music in this article. Don’t forget to take advantage of my other advice on SEO, content marketing, Facebook, SoundCloud, and music promotion.
My music channel on YouTube
My music channel on YouTube is getting increasingly content-rich. I think my importance in the metal communities is gradually growing as well, as I’m receiving more and more subscribers over time. It includes music from my bands as well as cover songs, playthroughs, and bands I want to support.
YouTube and the promotion of independent music
Extreme metal is one kind of underground music where I’ve seen cases of undiscovered bands who quickly reached over 100 000 views. Top results for genre queries like “melodic death metal,” “sludge metal,” or “shoegaze” are typically returned. There are still chances to score highly without paying any money on promotion, unlike on Facebook.
YouTube and independent music marketing
I’ve witnessed instances of undiscovered bands who have quickly reached over 100 000 views in underground music genres like extreme metal. They frequently receive the top results when people search for terms like “melodic death metal,” “sludge metal,” or “shoegaze.” Contrary to Facebook, there are still options to rank highly without investing any money in advertising.
How do you acquire views on YouTube for your music?
What can you do, though, to give people a chance to accomplish this with your songs, albums, and other videos? The three main sources of traffic are social media, search engines, and YouTube clicks (like recommended and similar videos). To optimise your movies for search and clicks, begin by implementing the advice I’ve provided below.
Logic of the YouTube algorithm
Several of the most significant YouTube ranking elements are:
Typical viewing duration
video title, description, and tags; quality; and view count
Google’s algorithm is distinct from that of YouTube. It has had certain exploitable weaknesses. The emphasis has shifted from keywords to user engagement measures, similar to Google.
A significant component that contributes to new videos trending strongly is average viewing time. This is not to say that keywords and other metadata are no longer significant. For your music videos, pay special attention to getting both.
Typical viewing duration (watch time)
The ranking criteria for YouTube watch time is precisely what it sounds like. How long does the typical viewer watch the video for? Offering engaging information is the most effective strategy to lengthen viewers’ sessions. A song with an album cover image is always outclassed by a lyric video. Longer videos are a surefire technique to get more YouTube views.
This does not imply that less valuable content is purposefully crammed into the videos. One approach is to upload complete albums or compile songs into one movie and another so that the audience can understand it. In my experience, whole albums consistently receive more YouTube views than tracks.
The typical number of views on my YouTube channel
Since my YouTube channel has a tonne of real-world music data, I’ll post some statistics from my songs and albums in various forms. It’s a fascinating contrast that clarifies the distinctions.
Although we are comparing several songs, the pattern is intriguing. The album cover video is overshadowed by the live screen lyrics video. The lengthy album-focused video triumphs over individual single videos. This demonstrates that using lengthy videos is a good idea.
Video for the album cover of “Zombie”: 1:57 minutes on average
Average viewing time for the lyric video for “With or Without” is 2:52 minutes.
Full album video for “An Empty Frame”: 8:10 minutes in length on average
The viewing period that my collaboration covers is something that goes against the idea that “activity keeps the viewer active.” The average viewing time for My Bloodbath’s rendition of Breeding Death is merely 1:17, while that of the band’s Brave New Hell is 1:18. Even my bizarre death metal vocals-infused System of a Down cover of Aerials contains only 1:13. The covers have ultimately served more as a pleasant activity than as anything that helped my channel.
YouTube video
The title of your video is crucial for YouTube success for two reasons: it defines your video for search and provides a user-friendly description. Without making it too long, try to include your genre and the year. Adding “similar to xxx” can also be a good idea if the band sounds similar to another one. In the end, it must be readable and SEO-optimized at the same time.
Described in the video
Writing metadata for videos and other sorts of content is tedious as hell. You should therefore make an extra effort. I always strive to write a 300+ word video description for every video that I publish. Start off with the key identifying information, such as the artist, song, year, and genre.
Remember to include a clear clickthrough link. Even while it won’t help you sell a million CDs, leaving it out would be a mistake. Consider Facebook or Bandcamp.
Here are some pointers for extending video descriptions to 300 relevant (searchable) words:
Include the lyrics; include comparable artists or influences; provide links to other videos
Include useful links
include collaborator links
What inspired you to create this video?
YouTube tags
The tags may generate worthwhile referral traffic from videos that are comparable. To learn more about tags, conduct some study. Find the most read articles about the band you’re writing about, and put those in your tags. A clever but appropriate use of tags can increase views.
Video caliber
Video quality is a frequently disregarded aspect in YouTube ranking. No matter if it’s only a music video with an album cover or simple words, YouTube prefers HD video. Make sure you do this because hardly many people do it. Don’t forget to give your video file a name that is consistent with the subject and title of the video. Additionally, it might affect rankings.
View count
A high view count is both a ranking indicator and a symbol of authority. Promoting your most well-liked videos is a wise strategy. Take a moment to picture someone seeing your channel profile for the first time. Isn’t it preferable to welcome them with a video with 50,000 views as opposed to one with 500 views?
Video platforms for promoting music
YouTube music advertising involves much more than just uploading your tunes. The better, the more you should consider content marketing. Here is a list of the most popular videos that musicians and bands can make to promote their work.
Playthroughs
Cover music
current versions
practice versions
Live Q&A’s Reviews of music
prime lists
Spotify playlists
A neglected method of driving traffic to your YouTube channel is using playlists. It may be a means of gaining channel views and subscribers. If you’re a little cunning, you might be able to incorporate your own content into the playlists to attract the attention of the relevant viewers. For playlist themes, consider the following advice:
playlists by genre
Mood playlists
regional playlists
annual playlists
One more crucial point
Remember that creating a brand is a crucial component of all social media marketing. Your band, your own brand, or even a channel or page concept might be your brand.
Make strategic use of familiar themes and other elements throughout the various platforms. Every thumbnail and profile picture is an opportunity to represent your brand.
This is crucial if you want to set something apart, like your music channel on YouTube. In the end, it’s all about my bands for me. There is a reason why the Soliloquium – Contemplations promotion appears in nearly all of my internet profiles.
Conclusion: YouTube advice for musicians
My YouTube learnings have been condensed into a single, frenzied homepage piece. Did the article contain anything of value for you? Have you had success with anything that isn’t in the article’s list? Please leave a remark; I’m intrigued!

Gwyneth Paltrow will testify in a civil case related to her 2016 ski accident, according to a source familiar with the matter Paltrow has been sued for $300,000 by a retired optometrist who claims the actress skied into him from behind at Deer Valley resort.
Terry Sanderson, the Goop founder, was accused of skipping out after his accident which left him with a permanent traumatic brain injury, 4 broken ribs, pain, and suffering as well as loss of enjoyment of life, emotional distress, and disfigurement, according to a lawsuit obtained by Fox News Digital.
According to a lawsuit filed in 2019, Paltrow “got up, turned and skied away, leaving Sanderson stunned and lying in the snow with serious injuries,” and an instructor from Deer Valley Ski Club who had been training Ms. Paltrow but did not witness the crash was also skied over to see Sanderson injured and then continued skiing away, falsely accusing her of having caused it.

Sanderson’s original claim of the hit-and-run was dismissed, and Deer Valley Resort and its instructor were removed from the lawsuit.
Paltrow insists Sanderson skied into her, and she stayed until given permission to depart by a Deer Valley Resort instructor. Additionally, the 50-year-old actress revealed Sanderson previously acknowledged not having any clear memory of the accident
On Jan. 29th, 2019, retired doctor Terry Sanderson appeared at the 3rd District Court in Salt Lake City to appear with Leah Hogsten/The Salt Lake Tribune via AP.
She has filed a countersuit, seeking $1 in symbolic damages and reimbursement of her attorney’s fees.
Paltow’s trial will commence on March 21.
Deer Valley Resort’s safety policies instruct skiers to “stop at the scene and render reasonable assistance” if involved in a collision on the slopes. According to Deer Valley Resort, the law requires skiers who have experienced an incident to provide their name and permanent address to a resort employee before departing the scene.
Other suggestions include notifying resort personnel and keeping other skiers away from the area of the incident.

A legal expert explained what a jury must decide in order for a judge to find Paltrow negligent for her 2016 accident.
“Reasonable care” is a subjective standard that’s hard to define,” attorney Tyler Brown from Nuttall, Brown, and Coutts told Fox News Digital. “What constitutes reasonable care” is defined simply as what would a reasonable person do in similar circumstances.
Brown, who has handled ski accident lawsuits in the past but is not involved with Paltrow’s current suit, noted that these negligence claims tend to be specific and situational.
“Skiing is not necessarily an emergency,” he noted. “So it’s not like they had to exercise extra caution just because they were out skiing – but it may require more care than usual in such instances.”
According to Brown, when bringing a civil lawsuit, it is up to the plaintiff to prove their case. According to Sanderson’s legal team, they may struggle with persuading a jury that Paltrow was wronged in this instance.
“Those asserting this claim will have their work cut out for them,” he said, noting that they must show and prove to a jury that she acted unbelievably.” However, if there are still questions surrounding what exactly occurred, it could prove difficult to prove your case.”

Sanderson must still prove that the ski accident caused his injuries.
“They must demonstrate that they suffered harm,” Brown explained. “And they have to back up their medical claims with evidence, show the number of bills, and any wages lost due to missed work – all to demonstrate these injuries were caused by this accident and not just because someone went home and slipped on the ice in the parking lot.”
According to celebrity lawyer Duncan Levin, Paltrow may be seeking a chance to repair her reputation through trial.
“This case requires two to settle, and we don’t know who is pushing this to trial,” said attorney Thomas Goldstein, who has represented Harvey Weinstein, Clare Bronfman, and Anna Delvey among others.
“For Paltrow, this isn’t about the money — she has plenty of that — but rather about repairing her reputation and defending off someone she believes to be making false claims to get at her deep pockets,” he noted. “She’s much more focused on winning over public opinion than the court of law here in Utah.”
Levin, who is not representing Paltrow at present, noted that it’s not always about financial settlements for celebrities.
“High-profile defendants often prioritize vindication and avoiding frivolous lawsuits rather than quickly concluding what they perceive to be an unworthy case,” according to one observer
