Recently I'm struggling to gain some subscribers and view on my youtube channel for free beats, but I realized it's not that easy..
I mean, even when I hang out on youtube, like when I search some things, always videos with high views(at least 10k) pop up. So I don't see any ways videos with very low views like mine can be seen by many people..
However, I was always intrigued by the story how weeknd got success on youtube, but now it makes me wondered..
Here's the story according to research I've done: He uploaded 3 songs including "What you need" on youtube at December 2010, and 3 months later, Pitchfork(music magazine) reposted the songs and 2 weeks later Drake reposted it.
But here's what I'm wondering.
He didn't have any subscribers at all before he posted the videos, no one knew who he was back then, and titles of the songs or description of the video don't include any keyworks that might help just random audience find it. But how the heck did his videos draw attention? As far as I know, Pitchfork don't even take demos from unknown artists...
What do you guys think? Has anyone here witnessed the process back then?
