Increasing watch-time

YouTube’s music viewers have longer-than-average

viewing sessions; music channels can and should

take advantage of this. With the right strategies, you

can package your music content to facilitate longer

and more engaged viewing sessions.

Playlisting and curation

Utilize playlists to organize your videos across

themes: Best of, Greatest Hits, or a full album

playlist. If a video is in a playlist, use

annotations to encourage viewers to watch the

video in playlist mode.

Broaden your appeal by creating playlists that

include work by other artists.

Curate user-generated remixes, mashups,

covers and other fan videos into playlists. If fans

see their videos are being curated by an artist

or label, they’ll be excited to create more!

How can I best package music footage for longer viewing sessions?
