Hello everyone,
I wanted to ask about the release of your tracks:
What platforms do you generally release your music on?
How important is Youtube to you?
Do you use your own videos for your music on YouTube?
Do you just use pictures?
Would suitable animations for your tracks be interesting?
Do you think animations and fancy thumbnails would help to increase your reach?
Personally, I’m planning to create my own animations and have already animated a few things because I believe that this has a positive effect on the music and the reach, be it YouTube, Instagram or TikTok.
Now I wanted to ask you, what do you think?
How do you add visuals to your tracks or covers?
Oh, that’s something I was thinking about, too. But I think in case one’s not planning to become famous and sell music, it’s not worth the effort. A simple picture that’s related to the song title (at best) is more than enough. Animations don’t improve the music. If you want to gain more listeners/customers, then social media activity and keyword optimization is key. No one will find perfect animations, thumbnails or whatever if the keywords suck and if one’s not spreading the word.
I think it’s very complicated if you want reach and I don’t think you can do it without paying ads on top of it all.
I enjoy creating visuals but they don’t bring in new listeners at least for me, you probably have to make shorts and hope to go viral with an interesting clip.
