do covers of recent famous tunes from tv cinema and other medias
May i refer you to my post in which i stated "unless you got lucky."… .. ;p
it's funny--I have 1.7 million views... but for the life of me I don't understand why..
I'd say "got it in one" and would probably be regarding British and Golf, you know the sophisticated sport us Brits like to play.
Lucky, I was a part of that 1.7 million views. You're quite a performing artist.
I Mean firstly, you've only made 30 videos.. I honestly wouldn't expect you to hit big numbers with only 30 unless you got lucky. Second there isn't any consistency in your videos, no playlists that I can see? In one video you're playing the piano, on another a guitar, on another a Sax, now unless you're a genius at all 3, you're WAY down the list of people that I would want to view. I would title the videos with something more catchy, I am certain 10000's of people call the piece exactly what it is (the title of the piece) "performed by etc etc" or picking names people may not be looking for or are too vague (eg you have many videos called improvisation or original melody)Unless people know you, they're not searching for your name. BachScholar as an example nobody has that name, it's easy to spell, easy to remember.Check him out, he's not the best pianist BY FAR. but he has a LOT of videos, playlists, he's got the idea of Youtube down pretty well. Next as mentioned you need to pick popular covers if you want to play modern music, or possibly unique pieces if you are aiming all round. For example, a couple weeks back I was looking through the "John Field Nocturnes" I wanted to hear a couple of performances so had a look online, I think in all Youtube I only found one playlist that had them all, and didn't find more than 1-2 performances of each piece. Making some good playlists like that will attract more users. Lastly and this may be the underlying ultimate cause. You may not be any good? I can't watch the videos I'm at work, but you do have some particularly random videos on there, you go from Czerny to Shania Twain. You can always pay for advertising.
Yup.. that's about the big deal nowadays, people have too narrow tastes in regards to music, only people that have real taste in music finds golden posts like yours. Others will simply view it as-- I quote this, as this is the exact thing a tasteless person said to me "What are you playing? Pure instrumental? It's boring, don't you have anything else better?".And as adodd said, there are many renditions of a well known piece performed by a well known artist so chances are, people will likely to look for these artists first rather than scrolling through all pages of youtube.
Ooo somebody DOES know their history.So does that mean you know how to count cards and clean the casinos, what's the secret to winning BlackJack.
I just watched the half-time show of Superbowl 50. All I can say is that the music of the 21st century is horrible. The melodies of Coldplay and Bruno Mars gives me unpleasant feelings and slight headache. There is nothing pleasant in their melodies or harmonies. The electric bass drum in Beyonce's song reminds me of my days in high school, where the dominant genre is rap. Those were the lean years for me. I was concerned with the good looking audiences in the half-time show that they are saturated with horrible music. My goal is to become a mainstream music artist and fix this problem. I happen to have good taste in melodies and lyrics. I listen to jazz music during the day and I listen to classical music at night. I listen to Older pop music in the 1970's, which some of the songs there are good quality.
It's because your videos have been on for 9 years. Give a terrible video some time, and it will reach 1000 views at least. Almost any video will.@OP how bad is the situation? Are you like at 18 views?
I released another Original Composition. I don't expect it will get any views. No one is interested. I plan to release a Miles Davis tune next week. I'll be surprised if it doesn't get any views.
Don't take this the wrong way, but why should anyone watch one specific 'original composition' out of the myriad thousands already on YT? Unless there is an obvious good reason to watch yours, people won't. If you can provide something unusual/distinctive as a carrot which may attract viewers to your channel, then you just might get views despite the generic title. (In my case, I have rare repertoire, plus the full radio talk on Alkan by Raymond Lewenthal: the latter certainly does get connoisseur attention, which is exactly what I want - visitor, you might enjoy it, knowing your niche interests!)
Why don't I get a lot of views in Youtube? (Read 1572 times)
