For years, I shared videos that were too long and didn't drive enough watch time! B-O-R-I-N-G. Then I realised that SHORTER videos work better because excitement spreads attention! Using this concept, I found the best way to promote your music video on Youtube is NOT to post the whole thing, but in fact promoting your music video by cutting it into chunks! So now I want to help you design a strategy to get more views on music videos! And even question if you even need music video promotion in 2021? Let's discuss the two simple steps that help you get more view on music videos:  WATCH TIME PERCENTAGE OF VIDEO VIEWED In my experience, artists who ask how to get more views on music video, they need to cut down the LENGTH of the content and devise a better music video release strategy as clips for promoting your music video in chunks. When you think about music video promotion in 2021, you can either direct as much traffic as possible to one source (Youtube) or get more views on music videos by posting each chunk (intro / verse / chorus) more times. If you think about how to get more views on youtube music video or a lyric then you should definitely AVOID a still image with music playing in the background. That's statistically the WORST way of promoting your music video. Let me know what you think of this video? Will this clip help you to get more views on music videos?
