Increasing watch-time
YouTube’s music viewers have longer-than-average
viewing sessions; music channels can and should
take advantage of this. With the right strategies, you
can package your music content to facilitate longer
and more engaged viewing sessions.
Playlisting and curation
•
Utilize playlists to organize your videos across
themes: Best of, Greatest Hits, or a full album
playlist. If a video is in a playlist, use
annotations to encourage viewers to watch the
video in playlist mode.
•
Broaden your appeal by creating playlists that
include work by other artists.
•
Curate user-generated remixes, mashups,
covers and other fan videos into playlists. If fans
see their videos are being curated by an artist
or label, they’ll be excited to create more!
