How Can I Succeed On Youtube As An Independent Artist?

Step-by-Step Plan:

1. Create a YouTube Channel

   • Start by making a YouTube channel dedicated to your music and personality.

2. Practice Talking on Camera

   • Get really good at talking on camera by consistently posting videos. It might take about 100 tries before you start getting views, as that's how YouTube works.

3. Post Regularly

   • Keep posting your music and videos where you talk. This will help you gain fans through both your personality and your music.

4. Analyze Your Performance

   • If your views are not increasing by the 100th video, you might be doing something wrong. Consider factors like video length, lighting quality, relatability, or the quality of your music.

5. Find Your Niche

   • If you create a video that does really well, think of it like a tree and start branching off from that video. You’ve found your niche, so make 100 more videos based on that successful video.

6. Educate Yourself

   • While posting and learning, look up videos on how to run a business in the music industry, video editing, and tips and tricks for musicians. Gather diverse opinions and gain knowledge, because knowledge is power. You can even watch a podcast I did about never giving up in the music industry as an independent artist: Podcast Link.

7. Focus on Your 'Why'

   • Reflect on why you started making music. Are you truly putting in the effort? Are you trying new things? Are you open-minded? Are you willing to work hard based on what the audience wants? Are you open to accepting criticism? All of these factors play a crucial role in this business.
