uploading on your channel. 5 Pros and cons.

The debate on wether it’s best to upload on your own channel or one of the main uk platforms such as GRM Daily or Mixtape Madness has been a big discussion between many artists and record labels. Hopefully this article can help you with the process.

Pros

1. Upload your video whenever you want

2. More people that watch the video are actual fans of your music / less unwanted viewers

3. Free to upload

4. All your videos are in one place and it’s easier to find your other content

5. Get paid from Youtube by monetisation

Cons

1. You have to direct viewers to the video yourself

2. You have to build your own audience and sacrifice viewers that are listening to other artists on the channel coming across your music

3. You have to invest more money into advertising

4. GRM and other channels give you credibility (your video has to be a certain standard to get on these channels)

5. Miss out on getting blog articles written about you and being posted on their social media pages
