Best Practices For Uploading New Music to YouTube [FREE GUIDE]

It’s hard to ignore the impact and influence YouTube has had on music and artist exposure.

Since its launch in 2005, YouTube has fostered a digital environment that nurtures creative development and flourishes the careers of smaller musicians. So much so that in 2020, YouTube reported a payout of over $4 billion in the pockets of artists, songwriters, and rights-holders. (Source: Forbes) 

“Fan-powered videos have always flourished on YouTube, helping artists grow their audiences and break songs around the world,” YouTube’s Global Head of Music Lyor Cohen said. “We’re thrilled it’s now also become a meaningful and incremental source of revenue alongside premium music content.”

For independent artists, having a presence on YouTube is pivotal for fan development and revenue growth. YouTube recognizes this too, having created an entire initiative for artists on YouTube that offers tools aimed at helping musicians access important fan insights.
