If you’re an artist who has been posting music on YouTube and you’re wondering how to get your channel up there, here are some tips that will certainly set you on the right path. At the end of the day it all boils down to talent, hard work and sometimes luck.

Have A Professional YouTube Channel


The first thing you need to do is make your channel professional. Give it a professional name and make all your other social medias professional. It’s best if they all have the same username and also be sure to post links of your accounts in each description box as well as in your about me page.

You want to Upload Consistent Content


The second thing you need to do is to be consistent and organize your content. If you’re making two separate types of music or content you could separate them into playlists so that it’ll be easy for people to find. Try to have a posting schedule, once you have an organized schedule you’ll draw more viewers. Don’t post sporadically or post ten videos in one day. Keep them interested and coming back for more. A safe way to start is by posting once or twice a week. You also need to focus on visuals. Make sure your visuals are clean, don’t post rough visuals. No one is going to watch a 5 minute music video with an unsteady camera.



Network
The third thing to do is network. They’re probably many other upcoming artists like you on YouTube. Link up with those you can and produce music that’ll be posted on both your channels. Every artists contact info will be listed on their page. Reach out and connect with them. This will double the traffic on the video.

Tags, Titles, and Descriptions
You should also utilise the tagging system as well as making sure you name your videos appropriately.
Have a title that is similar to what people are searching for, when looking for this video
Create a description that describes what the video is about
Use tags that further describe what your video is about
Utilize Trends
The fourth thing to is taking note of trends. If a particular song is trending, make a cover of that song and upload it really quickly. When people search for that song your video will probably show up in the first page. For example the remixes of the “Walmart boy” singing got over 10 million views all because they managed to optimize the trend.



Youtube Analytics
The fifth tip is to know what your viewers like. Using analytics you can see which videos get more views and which videos brought people to your profile. When you know what sort of music garner more views you’ll post more of the genre or type. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you should stray from your path. Youtube analytics is in the back end of your youtube account page.

Youtube Music Channels
The last tip is to find out if you can pay popular music channels to advertise your music. There are many mix channels getting a ton of traffic already on their page. Contact them and see how to get your music featured on their page. It’s kind of like “paying the dj to get your song played.” Getting a big break can take five minutes or five years, if this is truly your passion, stick to it and eventually it’ll pay off.


In Conclusion:
You’re going to have to switch it up if you want to get heard.
Hopefully this helps,
