HOW TO STREAM MUSIC VIDEOS THE RIGHT WAY?

• Do not log out of your YouTube account! This is the best way to verify streams as genuine. Even if you want to use incognito you should still log into your account. REMEMBER: You need to have similar behavioral patterns as you normally do which brings us to the next point.
• DO NOT STREAM CONTINUOUSLY/ ON LOOP! Because it may be counted as spam streaming and thus not only is it NOT HELPING with the increasing views but also risking to have previous views from your account deleted.
• Watch other music videos in between. This will also help with verifying your streams. Make sure you don’t have ‘autoplay’ on so you can manually click on other videos.

*Alternatively, you can use playlists. It is an easier method especially if you do not have the time to manually click on videos (or are sleeping) as it has the same outcome. I’ll eventually be putting out links for a YouTube playlist soon.

HOW TO STREAM ON YOUTUBE WITH DIFFERENT DEVICES

• Stream on maximum of two devices connected to the same Wi-Fi source as YouTube. Also, track the IP addresses to verify streams.
• Therefore, if you have a laptop and a tablet connected to the same Wi-Fi, you can steam without having issues.
• However, to take an extra preacutionary measure, you should not play the video at the same time on both devices.
• Moreover, you should log into a different YouTube account on the second device if you can.

If you want to use your phone for streaming as well, you can do so if it is your second device by following the steps above by using your phone’s mobile data instead of connecting it to the Wi-Fi. You will be able to stream with it as a third streaming device because it will have a different IP address.

SHARING MUSIC VIDEOS & GETTING THEM TO TREND

• Share the link to the music video on all platforms throughout the day. According to the Head of Business at YouTube, the trending algorithm is influenced by the interest a video gets from searched and shares rather than the number of views.
• Therefore, if you want to help with the music video trending in your country, you can do so by sharing the link of the video online (anywhere you can and it is relevant-SNS, forums, blogs, media outlets, websites-through posts or comments) and do so multiple times during the first 24 hours. Thie will not only helps to trend the music video, but it will also increase GP (general public) reach and interest and thus it will increase the view count.

EXTRA: WATCHING THE EMBEDDED MUSIC VIDEO ON FACEBOOK OR WEBSITES WILL HELP TO INCREASE THE VIEWS ON TOP OF STREAMING ON YOUTUBE!
