Have a Title That Can Be Found
Make sure the title of your video is clear, concise, and incorporates keywords in order for it to be listed better in search engines. Keywords are words that have a direct relationship to the content of your video while also being highly searchable. It’s doubtful that your video will score highly in search results if the title contains words that aren’t commonly searched for.
Using the organic YouTube video promotion search auto-fill feature and seeing if that keyword immediately fills in when entering is an easy approach to see if you’ve included relevant keywords.
PRO TIP: The sequence in which your keywords are put is also important to search engines. As a result, put your best foot forward. In the beginning, put the most important keywords. This usually entails putting your artist’s name first, then the song title at the end.
Use a Thumbnail That Will Catch Your Eye
A thumbnail for your video that grabs potential viewers’ attention is just as vital — if not more important in some situations — than the title. People are drawn to aesthetic attractiveness and frequently go to YouTube to find it. That stated, your thumbnail should be a captivating, distinct, high-resolution image that accurately portrays what the viewer may expect from your film.
A false thumbnail is more likely to cause visitors to click away from your video soon after it starts, and it may potentially violate YouTube’s spam policies.
Work with other artists or content creators to create something new.
Collaboration with other musicians or content makers is one of the best methods to cross-promote as a musician. You will be able to reach new audiences that you would not otherwise be able to reach. Cross-promotion between channels is growing more common, and there are a variety of ways to do so, including:
Including other musicians in your music or video
Collaborating with people who aren’t artists in order to reach a wider audience
Adding other channels to your channel’s “Featured Channels” section
Using the co-social creator’s media, blog, or newsletter to promote the project

Distribute Your Video Throughout the Internet
Everywhere is what we mean. You should use every medium available to you while sharing your video. Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are the most well-known social media networks that are responsible for a great number of viral videos. With the press of a button, YouTube has made it exceedingly simple to distribute videos on these sites.
You may also post your video links to Reddit and other social media platforms. Forums have the potential to generate much more traction than typical social media sharing methods.
Although it’s a given that you should share your film the day it’s released, we recommend announcing when it’ll be released days, weeks, or even months in advance. In other circumstances, months ahead of time is required.
After you’ve posted the video, share it numerous times every week for the next few weeks.
Don’t go overboard to the point that your followers think you’re “spamming,” forcing them to unfollow you.
Maintain the freshness of your content in their minds, but don’t go overboard.
Encourage them to share your video with their friends and followers.
