MUSICIANS: Learn How To Get A Million YouTube Views

Lots of people have videos on Youtube that reach a million views, but getting a million views based on musical talent is rare. It is important to showcase your musical talent in the videos because that's what you are promoting. There are a handful of Youtube Stars that understand this principle and continuously get millions of views on their Youtube channels. Here's how you can do it.

BE CREATIVE

Find creative ways to showcase your music. Do something that is so awesome that people have to show their friends. There are some really cheap video editing programs that do special effects. Experiment with a green screen and see what cool ideas you can come up with.

BE CONSISTENT

Don't post one video and get mad when it doesn't hit a million views in the first week. The most popular Youtube Stars post videos on a regular basis. You really don't know which video will go viral so just post quality videos and build your fan base.

BE STICKY

Ever wonder how these Youtube Stars views are so high on all of their videos? Its because after fans discover their Youtube channel, they watch multiple videos. If the videos have similarities, they watch another video. Soon, they've watched all the videos on the channel. Have a central theme to your videos. Consider covering popular bands' songs or accepting musical challenges from your viewers.

PROMOTE YOUR CHANNEL

This is pretty self-explanatory. Promote your videos on social networks to get people to watch your videos. This is not limited to the internet. Make sure all your friends and family watch the videos you post. Youtube also has several built-in features that allow you to promote your videos to other Youtubers.

SPONSOR A VIDEO

If all else fails, you could approach a Youtube Star that is already established and sponsor a future video of theirs. This does not necessarily mean pay money either. Try writing a song for them or send them some of your music and merchandise to give away.

BE CONNECTED

Contact people that you admire on Youtube by sending them a message. Introduce yourself and tell them what you like about their videos. By befriending other Youtubers, you can learn more tips for success. You could even collaborate some time down the line to cross promote each other's Youtube channels. Don't be afraid to reach out to top level Youtube Stars for advice.

BE PATIENT

There are a lot of undiscovered musicians getting millions of views on Youtube. Don't be discouraged if your great content does not get a lot of views at first. Once more and more people discover your channel your views will eventually increase.


Remember, you are aiming to get millions of views to gain millions of fans. Don't chase the record labels and major corporations. Make them come to you. Once you build your audience, they will approach you to work with them to expose their brands to your fan base.

Third "ThRob UGLY" album questions

So its come up time and time again, Rob wheres the new album?  You've had a 5 year hiatus!  I know-- I have done a few tracks that are scattered around.  I have a immerse selections of beats that I, with a few had some help from my close friend Landon Reidy.  Although, I feel just a bit inadequate about some of them-- its almost as if I want someone else to step in with a different style.  Not that anything we've made isnt that fresh-- Its just the ones that Landon and I do together will probably appear on the next Love, Rage, & Comedy album.  Not to mention I'd like to get LBS. on at least one on my next disc. Not to forget a couple of other MC's I know.  I won't throw out any names, but if you are reading this msg me personally!!! So the quicker these collabos come the quicker i get 3 out...  Oh and if you don't know the title its because I haven't told you for a reason!!! 

PEACE:

ThRob UGLY records "Lemme See Ya Work Dat"

I had drove all the way to Washington state to see my grandparents for Christmas because of two reasons: 1. My grandfather is 76 and doesn't alot of time left! (I haven't seen him since I was 17.) 2. I knew Emma's mother wasn't going to let me see her.  


So I trekked across the U.S. in a van with my father my Aunt Vicki and her youngest son. We stayed until New Years Eve and decided to make the haul back to Ohio! I had dropped him off in Youngstown and when I returned to the house I had the urge to record! I hadn't done a track since "Still Run Dis Bitch" with LBS. & Mos Blind in 2006.


I arrived in Ohio around 3A.M. dropped off my aunt around 5A.M. dropped off my Dad around 7A.M. got home recorded, edited took first draft to my homie Brendan Seditz (Seven40Studios / Last House On The Left Productions) around noon then stopped back in Steubenville to let my friend Ashley Heckathorn hear the track.

Update on Emma Anne Louise Clark :)

Well she was born at 2:20 am November 28th. I wasnt there cause once again fate reared its ugly head at me and Tammy threw me out just mere hours before my beautiful daughter was born. And then never called me when it occured, thus trying to prove to her family how "no good" I am. Whatever, I have no problem dealing with child support. After the things I went through with her most men would have RAN. Oh wait the first one did! But Im not here about that. I just want to believe that I can still be the best father even though me and 'mommy' wont be together...

Updates: 

All in all maybe me and her would have made Emma crazy if we stayed together, not that I dont miss her... but I understand maybe we werent that compatible at all... well I guess I said enough... later...

My Daughters first month... in my first month of dealing with baby mama drama weve fought then not spoken, and all the usual procedures. It looks like theres no real hope of getting back together although Im not sure if it would be the best idea for either one of us. Which is sad-- I'd Love to be with my daughter EVERYDAY.

My daughter was born!

SHOULD BEAT MAKERS WORRY ABOUT PIRACY?

In keeping up with the music business these days you can’t avoid the many debates that break out on various sites concerning digital content theft and what to do about it. The many forms of this problem and the attempted solutions are, to me, wildly entertaining and full of valuable lessons as I position a growing producer business to prosper through these and other challenges.


The only certainty I can predict is that the consumer will ultimately win. The content controllers who survive and prosper will be the ones smart enough to pan for gold in the stream rather trying to build dams and levies to fight a losing battle against nature. As a songwriter, musician, and independent label owner, I’ll be spreading the net far and wide to be sure my content is available whenever and where ever people look for it. Sometimes the folks looking won’t want to pay and I’m sure they’ll find a way to partake without doing so. That’s part of doing business in a changing digital landscape if you ask me.


As songwriters and producers, one tactic proving popular is to take yourself out of the losing game being played by the major media companies. More and more creative people are marketing their music directly to fans and end users like the TV and cable networks to ensure the shortest path (least problems) between them and compensation. It’s also becoming standard procedure to pitch artists directly instead of going through A&Rs and other gatekeepers if you can get the access. The concept is similar. The path of least resistance is the one that will eventually prevail. The fans and consumers are simply employing that same thinking when they seek out and download content. We as producers need to pick up on the obvious and streamline our paths to compensation where at all possible.


I don’t for a second think that there’s a single right answer, or best way to move forward in this business. The fact remains that all of our digital content is becoming easier and easier to obtain for free. I think the key to surviving the changes ahead will be to keep moving forward and simply trying to give people what they want, when and how they want it. Do that and many will pay, some will not. That’s just the way of the world of beat selling these days.

Happy Birf Day Me! FML

Would you believe I got dumped on my birthday? Of course I did... This is seriously become once every month -and she wants me to marry her? NO WAY! Divorce is just as expensive! I shouldn't say such things, but you never know whats gonna happen... Used some birthday money to buy the baby a crib, and other things that I'll need separately. Sad to say I want things to work out but I don't know at this point. Bought myself Optimus Prime and Bumblebee figures (from the movie.) Kinda helps but not really. Also bought my own copies of the babies book. Also on some good news I might get a second job driving taxi!!! I know who needs a taxi in the ohio valley right? It was nice seeing my dad today, after all the b.s. from the past year... That's cuz I don't see much of him on the road-- I'm working with a whole bunch of new idiots! I actually had to train these guys! I need to find a local job. As for the music-- I have been working on some but it's more emotional stuff... hopefully I'll get back into the swing of things... PEACE!
