YouTube Q&A

Why do a video?

A video can give you incredibly fast exposure and through YouTube it’s free. With YouTube you can post and promote your video and music.  You can even respond to peoples comments on your video and give that personal touch.

Do you need experience to make a video?

Yes, of course.  Anybody can make a video if they are just patient and take the time to learn.  Plan it out and think up something that would be appealing to the viewer.  You don’t need to make some expensive top of he line video, just be creative and it can have the same effect as a multi-thousand dollar video.

How do you promote the video?

Send out emails informing your fans about the new video.  Post it on your website (if you have one) or myspace, purevolume, etc. and announce it at shows.  Ask them to forward it to more people.  It could potentially have a viral effect in which your fan base and viewers increase exponentially. 

How do you make a video appealing?

A well done but dull video is just about useless.  You  need to catch your viewers eye.  The video’s that get the most attention on YouTube are those that are hilarious, just plain odd, and those that are brilliant.  Look at some other popular videos and get some ideas which you can use to make your own unique video.
