Sometimes there’s no formula for a viral hit and you’ll have to put in some work for that view count. Here are some of the best and FREE ways to promote your music videos.

Use Trending/Relevant Hashtags

Include Your Video In A Playlist

Slipping your video into a playlist is a great way to get discovered. Make a dance compilation with Katy Perry, Chris Brown, and yourself to get an extra boost in views. Make sure your video fits the theme or genre and is something people want to search for that month.

Collaborate With Others

Or better yet, be in each other’s videos for that extra fan crossover. However you want to collaborate so make sure to be genuine and never spam.
