Something very interesting is happening again with the Amara Blue Facebook page. Two older reels that were sitting at around 100K views suddenly started going viral again — and both have now passed 250K views each. 🔥 Because of those two reels, Amara gained around 5,000 new followers in only 2 days. And here’s another interesting part: I posted the link to my YouTube live stream in the comments under the viral reels, and that brought around 150 views to the YouTube stream — plus new YouTube subscribers. 🎶📈 So viral Facebook content can also become a traffic source for YouTube if you use it strategically. The funny thing? Both viral reels use the SAME lip-sync song. That tells me something. 😄 Instead of immediately trying to reinvent everything, I’m going to create more videos with that same song and test whether Facebook keeps pushing them. Sometimes the algorithm is basically screaming: “THIS ONE! MAKE MORE OF THIS!” 😂 Amara Blue is still not monetized on Facebook, but if the page continues growing and getting viral reach like this, the chances of monetization should become much better. My current strategy: 👉 Watch which older reels suddenly take off again 👉 Create more variations around proven viral songs 👉 Use viral posts to send traffic to YouTube/Spotify 👉 Keep growing followers while waiting for monetization I’ll keep testing and share what happens next. 🚀💙 The biggest lesson: Don’t forget about your old content. A reel that looks “finished” today can suddenly wake up weeks later and start bringing thousands of new followers.

Someone was wondering what an avatar looks like. I'll show you an example. This isn't an ad; it's something you can do yourself to attract traffic to TikTok or YouTube. Granted, it requires some skills and a powerful computer. However, it's a realistic way to speed up and drive at least some traffic to music platforms. Personally, this really helped me with my main artist profile.

Hey everyone, really excited to be here. Very happy that i found this community on like minded people who want to build something with the power of AI. I just began my journey with my new YouTube channel with Deep House Music, built by AI: https://www.youtube.com/@DeepHouseManor I am busy making new music and videos, first song has just been uploaded to Distrokid and will be released in a few days. My main first question: Is there a rule/guideline to how many videos i can upload in a day with my new Youtube channel? I have heard to same different things from only uploading 1 a day, to getting out as many as possible, not knowing if one or the other will create a "red flag" for my new channel or no, or is this just a myth? I was watching the videos in the classroom and it says there get 300-500 songs out for your artist as soon as possible... I was a bit blown away by it but is this the way to go? I appreciate all the feedback i can get from you all. Frank

A Watch-Time Strategy I’m Testing for My AI Music Channel With YouTube moving toward 8,000 watch hours or 20 million Shorts views for monetization, I’m currently focusing heavily on reaching the existing 4,000 watch hours before 01.02.2027. I recently started testing a strategy specifically for AI music channels, and the first results have been surprisingly good. I’m running pre-recorded livestreams twice per day using my own AI-generated music and visuals. My current setup: 🔥 One long livestream during the day 🌙 A second livestream overnight The streams can run for up to 12 hours from a cloud streaming service, so I don’t need to keep my computer running the whole time. The livestream itself helps generate additional watch time, but there’s another useful part of the strategy. After the livestream has finished, you can go into: YouTube Studio → Video → Editor Then select a section of the livestream, for example one hour, and use “Save as new.” So theoretically, a 12-hour livestream could give you multiple separate long-form videos. I wouldn’t publish 12 versions immediately though. I think it makes more sense to spread them out over time, use different sections of the stream, create new thumbnails and adjust the titles before publishing them as individual videos. That way, the original livestream can continue producing content even after it has ended. The watch-time difference on my channel has already been significant. Before doing this, I was usually getting around 2–5 watch hours per day. Since starting the long livestreams, I’ve already had two days with more than 40 hours of watch time each. That’s a massive difference for a small music channel. I only recently started testing this, so I still want to see how consistently it works over the next weeks, but so far long pre-recorded livestreams look like one of the most effective ways I’ve found to build watch hours with original AI music. Maybe useful for anyone else here trying to grow an AI music channel before the new requirements kick in. 🎶

Curious as to how far out everyone sets their project release date in Distrokid, etc. - Do you release yours right away? Do you set yours a week or two out? Looking forward to your replies. Many Thanks
