Knowing how to get more views for your music video makes a huge difference in how successful you are launching your music career. Just think about the stars today that were discovered on YouTube and the incredible potential you have to make it as a musician!

When you know how to promote a music video on YouTube, you greatly improve your chances of being discovered. Increasing views on your YouTube music videos is what can set you apart.

This article will give you some valuable advice on how to get more YouTube views and grow your audience.

Promotion

Just a note before we get started. Hiring a promoter for your YouTube channel is one of the best things you can do to build an fanbase. They know the market and they know how to get your content at the top of Google Search.

The only rule here is make sure that they are promoting "organically." That means they are not falsely boosting your plays and engagements by bots or play farms. A good promoter will encourage real engagement from fans of your genre.

Keywords

You need to be sure to optimize your YouTube videos in a similar manner as you would your own website.

Use keyword optimized titles, tags, and descriptions. These phrases should accurately describe your video. That will help bring people to your page from Google searches for those keywords. As you add keywords, be careful to find a balance between enough keywords to get noticed and overstuffing your post.

Overstuffing keywords makes search engines think that your video is spam, which hurts your search ranking.

To help pick the best keywords, try TubeBuddy! TubeBuddy is a browser extension (aka browser plugin) that adds a layer of tools directly on top of YouTube's website. After installing TubeBuddy, simply go to YouTube.com and you'll see their features right inside their site designated by the TubeBuddy logo.

Profile Page

You also want to make sure that your YouTube profile page is made well. The profile picture should be compelling, recognizable, and high quality. The profile picture and your entire page should be professional and representative of your business.

Looking legit will make people more likely to actually read your page, stick around to watch some videos, and subscribe.

Keep a Schedule

One of the most important parts of YouTube growth is publishing videos on a regular basis. Think of your YouTube page as a blog.

Because people want to a routine, you need to keep some kind of schedule with your posts. If you fail to post a video when people expect it, they may not return to your page. Because new videos get a nice boost on YouTube, you need your followers to engage early and start the momentum.

Done properly, the launch of a new video can convert to a lot of views. As people continue to return to your website, YouTube will recognize your content as valuable and improve your rankings.

Embedding

Lastly, never underestimate the power of embedding your YouTube videos on your website. This is a convenient way for you to get videos in multiple places online. It’s also a great way to get people to your YouTube page to see what other videos you have to offer.

Quality

Just remember that getting initial views on your page is only half the battle. You need people to continually return to your page. To do this, you need to be sure that you are putting out high-quality music and videos.

These are tips that will help you bring people to your YouTube channel, but your content is really what will keep them coming back. Be sure to carefully craft your music and videos. They should be as professional as possible otherwise you won’t grow your YouTube audience.

KID TRAVIS (R&B, POP)

With an already buzzing YouTube audience of over 400K+ subscribers, Kid Travis wanted his Instagram profile to start gaining some of that same traction.

While you can get some spill over audience from YouTube, Kid Travis knew that Instagram ad campaigns could boost his presence on IG even further!

He discovered that trying to run Instagram ads yourself vs. having us add our years of experience and expertise to them made a huge difference!

His main goal was to achieve new followers who are seriously interested in his journey as an artist.

Kid Travis already had amazing talent but needed to combine his music genius with some marketing expertise to get the best of both worlds.

We were able to bring out the heart of his music through paid ads by editing & optimizing his existing videos and properly researching and structuring his ad campaigns.

The end results: We were able to consistently and predictably gain followers averaging between $0.25-$0.35 per follower (including a bulk of the promotion being done in high cost English speaking countries such as United States, United Kingdom, Australia, & Canada) resulting in around 4,000 new, engaged followers/month on Instagram.
