YouTube views and YouTube are still important in 2025 to grow as an artist. It’s important to know, that with the right strategies you can attract more viewers and build a dedicated audience to grow your artist profile and music catalog. Let's dive into some fast and easy ways to boost your content on YouTube and generate more YouTube views.

Before we get to the strategies and tips, we need to clarify what counts as a “view” on YouTube.

A view is counted when someone watches your video for at least 30 seconds. This is applied whether they watch it on their mobile phones, Laptops, or even through embedded links on your website or other platforms. It all counts as a view. The view analytics are normally provided over a period of the last 28 days and are shown in the YouTube studio app. In the app, you can also determine where the views originate from.

Views always impact YouTube’s algorithm, which recommends videos to users, and will generate more algorithmic growth. The visibility and new subscribers plus monetization is what we call, organic growth.

Your title and thumbnail are your first opportunity to catch someone's attention. We all get triggered by catchy pictures and little teasers of what's to happen in the video. Besides that, you should use clear and highly visible titles that promise value. For example use “How to shoot a music video with 0 dollars.” instead of “My music video behind the scenes”.

For these types of thumbnails, use platforms like Canva to design custom thumbnails that reflect your video’s tone and your artistic vision.

SEO? Yes that's an important word, it stands for Search Enginge Optimization. Think of it as the backbone of all the content out there. This will help you to target new audiences when they search for a specific topic. If your title says: music video, you should optimize the description and thumbnail text to use the exact same words. Why? Well YouTube will analyze the description and thumbnail for these words and will show it to users on the platform searching for the word “music video”

With every social media and video platform, consistency is key. One video that did great won’t help you to grow your whole profile and video content. You have to be consistent in sharing and targeting new audiences. Regular uploads on YouTube will trigger the algorithm even more.

Tip: use small snippets of your YouTube videos as YouTube Shorts, to gain more interest and more YouTube views. People will be more inclined to watch a video if they have seen some content of yours before.

As we have explained, these teasers are a great opportunity to create more interest for your YouTube videos. These vertical 9:16 (Instagram story size) videos are perfect for sharing on Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and more to gain new audiences. They will also appear in the dedicated feed and will give your channel an additional depth of exposure. Everything counts!

We have all heard the sentences: “What is your go-to synth in music production? Let me know it in the comments!”

This is a smart way to boost the algorithm of a video, why?, well because the comments determine if viewers engage with your video and like the content. YouTube’s algorithm takes all comments and likes into account and will boost your video more if it has more comments, likes or shares.

YouTube playlists are a great way to keep viewers watching. If you add a Video playlist of your own videos in the end of a video, the YouTube AutoPlay algorithm will immediately start to play the other videos in the playlist. So with one viewer clicking on a video, and spending time on your channel, they can end up watching an hour worth of content.

When you are new to the YouTube platform it can be frustrating not receiving any views or new subscribers. That's when Tracks To The Max comes in. We have a dedicated team, which helps your content to generate more YouTube views and reach new audiences. This matters, and it's all organic traffic. The more you invest in your profile in the beginning, the more users have already seen and engaged with your content, so every new upload will increase the chance of success and trigger the YouTube algorithm more, which ends up being more YouTube views.

Quality is key. In 2025 we have tools and cameras at hand, which will give us the benefit of high-quality content.

YouTube knows that and is pushing your content even more when you deliver high-quality content and videos because then the users are more inclined to stay on the platform.

Growing your YouTube channel and increasing your views doesn't have to be overwhelming. Start with these tips and you will see your analytics grow and more YouTube views across the video you post.
