Be prolific: Like other short video platforms, YouTube Shorts enable you to create content more quickly compared to long-form media like normal YouTube videos. YouTube debuted Shorts in India in 2020 and launched the beta in the U.S. If a creator uses your song in their YouTube Short video, you will receive some revenue from the placement.

Add a title (max 100 characters) to your short video. And now YouTube is getting in on the action with their short vertical video feature, aptly called YouTube Shorts. Unlike YouTube Stories, which expire after 7 days, Shorts are meant to last as evergreen content on YouTube. YouTube Shorts are a great way to promote your music because anyone who plays a video with your song on it can easily see what song it is and then find it on their streaming service of choice. Firstly, because YouTube is already a video giant, and Shorts gives you another format that can drive engagement back to your longer channel content. But more to the point of this article, as an artist you can now CREATE YouTube Shorts that both deepen your connection with fans and channel subscribers, and reach beyond your audience through YouTube’s recommendation engine. The real money you’ll see from your music’s use in YouTube Shorts will result from viewers hearing your songs.

Any of these video types will bring attention to your Official Artist Channel, and therefore your music. If you’re a musician that creates a lot of video content, you now have another creative way to promote your music on YouTube: YouTube Shorts. YouTube created a helpful step-by-step guide to creating Shorts on their Help Center. Plus did we mention YouTube Music is the world’s most popular music streaming service, with 2 billion (yes, with a “b”) monthly users? Also, as mentioned above, Shorts allow creators to use sampled audio from millions of videos uploaded to YouTube, as well as music from YouTube’s library. CD Baby distributes to YouTube Music - and YouTube Shorts by proxy - along with over 150 other digital platforms. And of course, neither of those platforms offer short-form video creation. Unlike TikTok, where the short-form video is commonly considered the WHOLE experience, Shorts can be an extension of your brand and community engagement efforts on YouTube.

Where do you watch YouTube Shorts? How do I create a YouTube Shorts video with my music? How do I get my music in the YouTube Shorts library? To find YouTube’s Audio Library when you’re ready to record, tap “Add Sound”. YouTube Shorts’ library pulls from YouTube Music, which boasted 60 million songs as of August 2020 (it’s likely quite a bit more now). That’s just a touch under Spotify and Apple Music, which come in at 70 and 75 million, respectively. How do I promote my music on YouTube Shorts? While YouTube hasn’t published a full list of every country in which Shorts is available, they suggest updating your app and looking for the “Create a Short” option. Do artists earn royalties from YouTube Shorts? Short-form videos are fertile ground for indie artists to promote their music. YouTube Shorts are surfaced algorithmically via the “Shorts” tab at the bottom of your YouTube mobile app. So, why should musicians care about YouTube Shorts?
