Promoting Your Playing And Your Music
An article Series by Todd Simpson
This article is a series of thoughts, tips and tricks to help getting the word out about you and your music.
Use Youtube
One great way to get the word out about your playing and your music is none other than youtube. Ive kept a youtube channel for a few years now and have have more than one million views and have met wads of great players all over the world.
Here is a graphic showing the views from the "insight" portion of youtube that allows you to visualize all the data related to your account.

Simple Rules
1.2 MILLION VIEWS! 3,000 SUBSCRIBERS! HERE'S HOW
Getting your videos watched is of course crucuial. Ive made it to 1.2 million views and 3,000 subscribers so far using some pretty simple rules.
ANYBODY can do this. Just look at our main man Kristopher Dahl's youtube page! HUGE views, STELLAR responses. Lead video he is playing behind his head.

Simple Rules:
- 1 - Post videos that encourage repeat views such as good lesson videos with tablature if possible.
- 2 - Tag every video using tags that will help people find your vids. Borrow tags from vids that have HUGE views but don't "tag Spam"
- 3 - Respond to every question, comment and friend request no matter how long it takes, WARNING: It seems to take forever but it's fun and it's worth it to meet all those great players and students on youtube.
- 4 - Find students who you could help and suggest your vids to them.
Pretty simple stuff. I'm a "Youtube partner" now and get to share revenue with the ads that are on my channel. It's also led to several endorsement deals (EMG, Minarik, Fretlight). It's a great way to get yourself heard and seen. Not to mention it's a great way to share your skills with aspiring students and pimp GMC! Go for it!
