Twitch.TV VS YouTube - Which Platform To Choose For Music Promotion | Music Marketing Promotion

#YouTube ~ the best platform for video content 🎥
#Twitch ~ the king of game streaming 🎮

🤿 Let's dive into the pros and cons to understand which of the two is a better choice for music promotion. 🎶⤴️

👉YouTube👈
➕ More music is played on YouTube than on #Spotify, #AppleMusic, and #Tidal combined 🔝
➕ Visuals along songs to better set the mood; renaissance for music videos 📷
➖ The amount of other content can distract from the music 🙃
➖ Creating YouTube content is not cheap 💸

👉Twitch.TV👈
➕ Nothing luring a viewer away from what they’re watching 🧐
➕ Twitch bits will go straight to the streamer at a 1-1 ratio of 1 bit = $0.01 🤑
➖ Little to no discoverability built-in to the platform 🙅‍♂️
➖ No ultra-low latency 🥱

What's stopping you to drop your next release? 📀💽💿

🖐 Sitting on content is never a good idea! 💡

⌛ The perfect time never comes! Most artists hedge against this because they don’t want to dilute their craft. 🛑

⚠️ Don’t wait for “perfect”.

💡 This might be the simplest and most valuable piece of career advice #MPT can give you: Your content amplifies your message, when a track is recorded, mixed and mastered there is no good reason to sit on it if nothing is happening in regards to the record. When you are at the finish line, you cross the line. 🏁

🎼🔊 So many musicians keep sitting on their ideas, songs, and projects for months (sometimes years). ⌛ They keep refining and editing, trying to improve their product bcause they feel like it has to be absolutely 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕. 👌💯🤙

🤔 Ask yourself this👉 Is anything 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 really going to be “𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕?” ✌️

🤘🎸 If you’re trying to grow a fan base, perfection of content is not going to get you anywhere. Because no content is perfect.🥴

✅ Get it out there❗ Give your fans something to get excited about. 🤩🤗 LEARN from your experience and make an even better album or song or piece of content the next round. 🎶💽

If you put out 20 songs in a row and 17 of them don’t get traction, there’s no loss. People will only remember the songs that hit. 🏆
