Introduction

The advent of YouTube has made it easier for anyone to share their music with the world. With a YouTube channel, YouTube videos, and music videos it helps your music reach many people. However, some people still struggle to get their music heard. The tips and tricks in this article will help you market your music on YouTube so that more people listen to and share it.

Make a Music Video

Promoting your music

Your music video should be professional looking, high quality and engaging. It needs to be something that stands out and is unique. If you want to make a funny video then go ahead, but the most important thing is that your music video looks professional and has good quality. One you have official music videos on your YouTube channel then you can start to share and promote music video so that people will be able to watch your new video.

When making a music video it's important to consider the following:

  • Who are your target audience?

  • What do they like?

  • How can you reflect their preferences in the videos?

Create a Professional Looking Thumbnail

If you want to create a professional looking thumbnail for your music video and YouTube channel, consider hiring a professional photographer and graphic designer. A good photographer will be able to capture the right image that represents your music and attracts viewers.

Another option is to use an app on your phone that allows you to take photos or videos with special effects, such as filters and frames. These types of apps can help make your thumbnails look more professional while saving time in the editing process.

Interact with Your Audience


People watch videos of professional YouTube channels and non professional YouTube channels. A YouTube video can change the dynamic of how your audience perceives you. In order to connect more with your fans you shouldn't create just music videos. You should create videos that are engaging and show your audience who you are outside of your music career.

Recording Studio

Interact with your YouTube audience. Whether you use the comments section of the video or the creator's page, it's important to interact with your fans. This can be as simple as responding to comments and putting a face to the music by posting photos on social media.

Promote your music via social media. Post links to buy songs, albums and merchandise; promote new releases and events; share tour dates; request feedback from fans who have listened to your work online—there are so many ways you can use Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in particular for this purpose!

Find collaborators and artists through social media. Artists often find each other via Facebook groups or Twitter chats (like #musictip), so make sure you follow artists who inspire you or seem like they might be a good fit for collaboration projects in order for them not just see what kind of music you make but also interact with them directly through their posts/tweets/etc…

Collaborate with Other YouTube Creators


Collaboration is one of the best ways to get your music known on YouTube.

Besides getting more exposure, it also helps you gain more followers and subscribers!

You can collaborate with other YouTubers, with musicians or singers on Instagram or Facebook, and even with people who share similar interests as you.

Promote Your Music

Once you've finished up your music and music videos it is time to start promoting your music and getting it onto playlists. You can do this via the Youtube Studio app which helps you create your own playlists on a mobile app. Or you can use a music Submission platform such as One Submit. One Submit  is a music submission platform that helps artists get their music on Spotify Playlists, Blogs, Radio Stations, YouTube channels, YouTube playlists, TikTok, Labels and more.

Now that you've got your music out there and people are listening to it, it's time to use social media as a tool for promoting yourself. Social media is great for interacting with your audience, collaborating with other creators and sharing your content—like videos of yourself covering the song on YouTube or Spotify.

Use YouTube Ads

You can use YouTube video Ads to promote your music, and they’re free if you have a Google AdWords account. You can set up ads and choose the type of targeting that works best for your audience.

You can also use different types of ads—such as in-stream ads and skippable video ads—to promote your music on YouTube. If you want to measure how effective these promoted videos are, we recommend using UTM parameters (or “utm_source”) with each link you share (e.g., www.exampleurlcom/video?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=ytad). That way, when someone clicks on it, Google Analytics will be able to track all clicks from that link back to the original source (in this case: YouTube).

These are some useful tips for how to get more people to listen to your music on YouTube.
