Online Music Video Distribution for Independent Music Artists.

Music Video Distibution Image

Web music video distribution gives you another powerful way to connect with your tribe.

On this page you'll find out why you need to use web video distribution as an artist and also discover a helpful service you can use to post your videos to multiple video sites.

You're probably already well aware of the following two facts...

Fact #1 - YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine next to Google.

Fact #2 - Many people search for music on
YouTube and other online video websites.

These are two good reasons for you to develop a business strategy which includes online music video distribution.

You shouldn't stick to music videos only. You can create clips from the studio, backstage, with members of your tribe at shows, or even when you're having breakfast.

Your tribe build a connection with you because they can see and hear you on the videos. They want to know you, even the bits you consider mundane.

Idea: You can host a competition where fans can create music videos to your songs and submit them to YouTube. Your fans create a buzz, you get loads of new videos to add to your website, and a few winners get the prizes. Everyone's happy!

There are many other social sites and video sharing sites apart from YouTube where your tribe may gather and you may want to include these sites in your online video distribution strategy.

Other video sharing sites and social networks you may want to use for distribution include...

Blip.tv
eBaum's World
Dailymotion
Viddler
Vimeo Plus
Facebook
Yahoo! Video
Metacafe
MSN Video
MySpace
videojug
iMeem
Revver
Twitter
Veoh

I suggest, should you want to post to more than one of these sites for distribution, you make use of a service called TubeMogul.

I don't benefit in any way from informing you about this service. It's a tool I feel independent music artists should know about and use and that's why I mention it to you.

TubeMogul allows you to distribute your music videos to the above list of websites and more. You create your accounts with the sites you want to upload to and then use TubeMogul to upload to your chosen websites at once.

This service will save you a lot of time because it streamlines your web music video distribution. It also allows you to track views across all the different video sites.

What others have to say...

"Thank you for your help with our web strategy and social media presence. The integrated setup of the web site and our social profiles you helped us establish makes life so much easier. The buzz so far has been great and just keeps growing!" - Gareth, The Commercial Hippies / Nano Records thecommercialhippies.com

"As the owner of a music studio, I have found this site to be extremely beneficial to musicians at any stage of development. Way to go, Marius!" - Lynne, may-studio-music-lessons.com

"Marius has a very informative site on how to be a self-managing musician, and he takes the time to get back to you if you've got questions. He's a cool guy!" - Nate Maingard, Musician twitter.com/NateMaingard

"It refreshing in so many ways to find something that's the truth and not just some "sign here pay this and tomorrow you're famous" website!! Marius has lent direction in gray areas for The Brokekings and certainly its been the most honest approach in getting our brand from our hard-drive to our tribe's ears." - Cliff Barns, The Brokekings http://thebrokekings.bandcamp.com

"Yes, your site is great. I devoured all of it, watched all the Vids because you cover all the important current marketing strategies a band/artist should be doing. I totally agree with your angle on things, especially the way the old music biz paradigm is crumbling away and there are new ways for all of us Artists to empower ourselves." Paul Abrahams, The Reels
