New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Are you a musician looking to grow your music career? YouTube can be a powerful tool for reaching new fans and growing your audience. Combine it with a good
music promotion service and you've got the key to success. People often think of YouTube as a place for people to watch music videos, but it can also be a great way to grow your music channel.
By using effective techniques, you can attract more viewers and grow your channel quickly. In this post, we'll share some essential tips to help you make the most of your music channel on YouTube. So, let's get started!
Be Aware of Your Competition
The very first thing you are going to want to do is to be aware of your competition. What does this mean? While many musicians, bands, or artists only upload studio tracks to YouTube, other channels might be YouTube exclusive, and it's these channels you should be aware of.
Why? So you can see what they are doing, how they present their content, how much emphasis they place on video production, and more.
Review Analytics
If there is one thing that can help your music channel to grow or any channel in general, it's being able to track your progress. The good news is that this is easy to do with YouTube since there are many statistics available online, as well as detailed analytics within YouTube Creator Studio.
Why should you care about these analytics? Since they can provide you with information about the watch time of your videos, when people click away, which videos are your most popular, how far your reach extends, which countries your viewers are coming from, and the devices your viewers are using.
Make Sure Your Content is Good
One of the most important things that you can do is to make sure that the content that you are producing is good. This is subject to personal opinion, however, the opinion that matters most would be the viewers.
A great way to check if your content is good is to compare it to a similar channel that has the same number of uploads as you, check their subscriber count as well as their views, and compare with popular music on YouTube. More than this, you can check the average duration for each of your videos to see where people lose interest.
Thumbnails are Important
The one thing that compels people to click on a video more than anything else is the thumbnails that are used. The thumbnail gives a viewer a glimpse into what to expect from the video. More than this, professional-looking thumbnails draw more views to videos than videos with bad thumbnails.
What you want is a thumbnail that increases click-through rates of your videos, since this will help to push your channel up the ranks and be recommended faster.
Don't Rush
Another important tip when growing a YouTube channel is to not rush. You have to understand that growth on YouTube can be a very slow process. Even accounts that have videos with millions of views, might only have subscribers in the low thousands.
Why is this? Because you have to build a community on YouTube, and whilst views are important in getting your channel recognized, the focus should be on slowly building out a community, a well of content, and being consistent with your quality.
Share Your Videos Everywhere
If you want to see growth on YouTube, then unfortunately you can't only be using YouTube. When it comes to getting more views, more clicks, and more subscribers, you should try using social media platforms.
Popular platforms include Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and more. You should also consider live streaming on multiple platforms at the same time to increase your reach.
Use Keywords
Finally, another incredibly important thing to do when uploading your content is to focus on keywords. Keywords are great for extending your reach and getting your videos found, but you shouldn't just use any old keyword.
You should do keyword research to find out what keywords people are searching for, and try not to use too many that are oversaturated. Using keywords with your videos is also great for SEO since if someone searches for a specific video on Google, yours might pop up as a suggestion.
