Youtube is a Beast of a Marketing Channel

January 30, 2012 by Mike 25 Comments

Patrick Walker (Senior Director, Youtube Music) rep’d Youtube at Midem, along with a number of labels, etc, sharing some pretty interesting factoids.  (Live blogged by MusicAlly, via Michael Kauffman)  I’ll share a couple highlights that stuck out for me:

Youtube is growing.  No, really FAST.

  • YouTube now generates 4 billion views per day, a 30% increase in the past six months.
  • It’s got 800m unique monthly users.
  • 60 hours of video are uploaded every minute.

Youtube has new TOOLS for ARTISTS.

  • Multiple new site templates are available to choose from.
  • The new Youtube Merch Store plugs into 3rd party services such as iTunes, Google Music, Amazon, Songkick and Topspin among other services, to enable artists to sell, well, merch.

Youtube will be monitoring, managing, and MONETIZING consumer generated media more tightly.

  • Youtube’s Audio ID / Content ID technology identifies videos that use other artists’ songs.  (Labels can pay to use it, and extract licensing revenues in doing so.)
  • Youtube’s Melody ID technology can match “cover song” melodies to existing original songs.  (Again, Labels can pay to use it, and extract licensing revenues to do so.)
  • Youtube recently acquired Rightsflow, a licensing and royalty service provider that enables artists and labels to secure rights to music for various media.

Youtube advice to artists…

  • Make playlists.
  • Shoot videos when touring.
  • Video-announce news like tour dates and releases.
  • Collaborate with other artists.
  • Youtube’s algorithm rewards more frequent uploads, high volumes of likes/shares/comments/etc.  Keep this in mind when creating content.
  • Professional quality does not necessarily mean success.  “Raw”, ‘honest’ video can to well when appropriate.

There you have it.  Progressive labels and artists are starting to dedicate entire departments to creating, deploying, sharing, promoting, monitoring, and engaging video content. How can you leverage these new tools to promote your music?

    The benefits of using Youtube when compared to other video sites is the content availability. Youtube is a very simple website to use that has videos ready to watch at the click of a button. Youtube is available in nearly every country in the world, and any computer that has internet access, and is visited each day by millions of people.

    Regardless of what it is, one home must be designated as the primary residence, and only one home is allowed to be designated as the primary residence. This serves for things, such as tax purposes, census figures, educational opportunities and the like.

    Marketing success grows out of a good marketing plan. Craft it as well as you can, and then make adjustments as needed. Business conditions can change quickly as markets evolve, new technologies develop or customers go out of business. Thanks for sharing.

    Good post. Youtube has got a wide acceptance because it is more user- friendly and easy to use. The videos are just a click away. It is also a better way for marketing through which the efficiency achieved is much bigger when compared to other ways. Thanks for sharing. Review OmniTech Support

    Brilliant! I love it. I'm an internet marketer and like to share. Create tutorial videos on how to operate your product or use your service. General how-to videos and training videos can benefit both customers and employees as well as increase exposure online. Make funny behind the scenes videos to show a personal side and further expose your brand to social media users. If you plan on hosting an event, creating a new line of products and consider addressing these new developments in a video blog. You may even want to give an overview of your business or service process. Always try to be as creative as possible to keep viewers interested, engaged, and coming back for more. thanks a lot!~ Paloma Brooks

    People sometimes get injured in hotels. As such, you need to make sure you get the appropriate insurance for your hotel. You need to make sure you insure the hotel itself and any additional property owned by the hotel.   In addition to property insurance, you will need liability insurance for customer and workers compensation insurance for employees.http://www.hotelinsuranceplans.com/

    Starting out on a new business venture with others you know and trust is normally about planning all things you will do to make your business a success. It will very likely involve a range of issues focussing on finances, how to promote and sell the product or service and providing excellent service.http://www.dopartnership.com/
