Timecodes:
okay so you're doing or what to do
covers and remixes for you too but the
problem is everyone's telling you eh you
can't make any money with those videos
be YouTube's gonna take those videos
down and ban your channel and see the
labels going to claim that make all this
money and all this adsense revenue off
of your video in your hard work and
that's a problem I'd be concerned too I
was in the past I figured it out and
this is how you do it what's going on
guys ad on my visa music.com here to
help you go further faster in your music
career by sharing proof and marketing
techniques and strategies to take that
passion for making music and turn it
into a legitimate business that's gonna
provide you with freedom and fulfillment
to the most important things in life in
general and I'm a living breathing
testament to that now what I want to
talk about is a real quick little
subject that I'm getting a lot of
questions about that I just want to kind
of give some clarity to you guys about
and that's cover music cover songs on
YouTube are incredibly popular it's one
way to really build up your brand
rapidly get more traffic now there's two
ways primarily to get traffic in your
music career to your music and that's
walking in front of traffic or buying
into traffic now buying into traffic
obviously is paid ads and you're putting
your face everywhere in your music
everywhere on the internet and on social
media just to be able to get people to
kind of pay attention to you now
stepping in front of the traffic is a
little bit more strategic and methodical
in the sense of finding other artists
that are kind of a similar fit to what
you're looking for for an audience and
then that's a great way to start doing
cover music or a great reason why you
would be doing cover music now one
question I am receiving a lot of is Adam
how do I make money off of covers if I'm
just doing covers how do I make any
money off of that YouTube will take them
down right I won't get paid right kind
of one thing I want to bring up to you
is a cover music cover songs covers on
YouTube Instagram tick tock for that
matter are going to be eyes and ear
attractors right it's going to be the
hook that you're pulling an audience in
with so technically upfront you might
not get paid a whole lot for covers but
if you're doing gigs if you're doing
shows and festivals and if you're trying
to build an audience which could then
lead to merch sales could then get a
little bit of money from those covers
itself on YouTube for that matter for as
far as on Adsense revenue then the
upfront isn't going to be as abundant as
if you were selling 99-cent singles or
if you were getting millions of streams
or if you were doing a lot of different
shows just on a whim
even busking for that matter could bring
more immediate income in but that's not
the point the point is covers are going
to attract people to you then you can
put out those originals and make money
on that end but can you make money on
YouTube and where ever with covers
without getting them taken down without
getting demonetised without getting a
copyright strike yes there are companies
out on the internet one in particular
that I'm very familiar with is we are
the hits I'll have their link down in my
description box now what we are the hits
are what they specialize in is they
partnered with several different labels
Sony RCA Universal just the name a
couple and they have rights for you as a
user through we are the hits to be able
to post covers on YouTube and then what
you do is supposed to cover on YouTube
you copy the URL for that video you go
over to we are the hits after you have a
membership and all that then you paste
it into the box of what you're doing so
it's kind of like telling the label
telling the label through we are the
hits what you're up to and that yes hey
I'm a member of this service we are the
heads and I'm not affiliated with them I
don't have any affiliate link with you
guys or for you guys I'm not making any
money they're not a sponsor by any means
but this is one way that a lot of my
students have been able to monetize
their covers as well as some parodies
and whatnot that kind of fit in that
gray area of being able to get
permission now we are the hits is just
one there are several others out there
just do a quick Google search or find
alternatives but what it is is it's
going to allow you to have those rights
it's not going to demonetized your
channel you're not gonna get a copyright
strike you're going to make a little bit
of money are you gonna make a ton
probably not but that's not the point
here what we want to do is we want to
use covers as an attractor or an
attractant I don't know anyway so you
bring people into your ecosystem and
your channel and then you do requests
you do top Billboard 40 hits that are on
the radio right now we're climbing the
charts because that's going to be able
to get traffic to you so that people are
watching your
and say wow I really like you know what
they're doing what else do they have and
that's when you can draw a real fan base
very quickly based off of your talents
and your quirks and your personality and
your your aesthetics and what you look
like I mean let's face that this is show
business so you know one thing I want
you guys to understand is that when you
go on the hits we are the heads they're
not going to have every single song in
existence on there they're only going to
have songs listed that they have legal
rights to through their partnerships
with these labels so if you're wondering
you know hey what do I do a cover on
they actually have a tool on there
that'll show you the top charts in that
moment so you could say hey these are
trending these are the top ones these
are ones that people are really really
into and vibing with right now and
that's a couple ways that you can make
the money from these cover songs I have
several students who are kind of cover
artists and I don't think anyone wants
to be under that umbrella and that
stigma as cover artist so what I would
suggest doing is do two to three covers
and then add an original depending on
the frequency in which you're gonna be
releasing new music if you have five
songs ready to go that's awesome two to
three different covers and then drop an
original that builds hype builds
momentum and builds discoverability
especially here on YouTube because what
it does is it shows YouTube that you
have valuable content that people are
searching for that people are staying
you know retainer tended to retention
return them the term I'm looking for is
audience retention so the longer you're
on a video the more you're going to be
rewarded from YouTube by showing that
video to others that's why audience
retention rates are so important
and what that being said if you guys
want me to do a full blown tutorial on
building a channel as an artist or a
producer or just any music creative in
general here on YouTube all the best
practices and little little tips and
tricks and the strategy behind it let me
know in the comments below say Adam we
want that YouTube thing let's have some
fun guys if you haven't yet I want you
to watch this video next this is where I
actually talk about covers more in depth
as far as the benefits and the pros and
cons and then before you leave I want
