Howdy!

A little bit about me. I’m a musician with a humble white hat YT channel of about 2k (completely organic) subscribers. I post mostly acoustic covers, because that’s what gets the people going in my genre. Most of my videos get about 300 views and then plateau. There have been a couple that have broken through and grown to 20k views over several year. Once, I went mildly viral and got 130k views over the course of a day. But by many metrics, I’m not a “successful” channel.

That said, I’ve been featured as a guest artist on a prominent channel (800k subs) in my niche more than a handful of times. I’m certain the mega fans on that channel will know exactly who I was if I could just get in front of them. What’s more, that larger channel is one in a small ecosystem of independent artists who have all captured the same market.

So, here’s my question: what strategies (BH/WH) can I put into place to get the algorithm to push my content to that larger audience of 800k? I’m convinced that if I could just get in front of it, things would catch on, and I would capture the same audience.

For the record, I’m not looking to just capitalize on the views and make a quick buck. I’m an artist in search of my audience, and unlike many another artists, I know exactly where it is. The intention is to nurture it into a real career.

Thanks in advance!

Do you show your face in any of your videos? Your music attracts your audience but the human relatability factor is what's going to keep them around.

How did the feature work? Did the channel promote you in any way?

You can go and comment on the featured videos to let people know where to find you if they want more of your music.

You could also work on getting another feature (with the same or a different channel) and be clear on the expectation to receive credit for your work and reference your channel.

Some ideas, wish you much success!
