THE TOP EIGHT Video PROMOTION SERVICES ON YOUTUBE

Interested in promoting your song on YouTube? I got it. I mean, the site has over 2 billion monthly active users, and around half of them go there especially to listen to music.

1. Omari MC

This one might not surprise you if you’ve been following Two Story Melody at all (or if you’ve already scrolled down to the bottom of this page for some reason). Yes, Omari is an expert in this field, and yes, I am affiliated with him.

Omari’s honesty is one of my favourite qualities about him. He won’t promote a song if he doesn’t think it’ll be successful, and he won’t try to upsell you into spending a lot of money for video promotion services you don’t need. And he’s not into bots. Check However, here’s a client testimonial from his website:

“If Omari doesn’t think a song will work with one of his marketing packages, he’ll tell you, and he doesn’t set false expectations.”

That’s something I’ve noticed as well. Omari manages paid ad campaigns as well as channel and playlist placements. He’s a good alternative to assist you achieve any YouTube goals you have, and with an entry fee of $77, he’s rather inexpensive even if your budget is limited.

The service’s URL is listed below.

2. YouGrow

Another good tool for promoting music on YouTube is YouGrow.

I first came upon these individuals while looking for Spotify promotion agencies; it turns out that YouTube is their other main emphasis. I’ve spoken with members of the team and can attest that a) these are genuine people, and b) they’re quite open.

As you can see from their landing page, targeted advertisements are their primary way of video promotion, and they start campaigns at very low prices — you can try their service for $124. Their primary focus is on total channel engagement. They phrased it this way:

“We don’t just want to promote your song; we want to promote your entire channel through it.” The idea is to attract subscribers who will engage with your material both now and in the future.”

That appeals to me; I believe that too many artists get caught up in vanity metrics when it comes to singles, but true fanbase is interacting with deeper artistry. Anyway, if you’re curious about their service, you can get information on their common view / like ratios and other statistics here.

Finally, while I haven’t launched a YouTube campaign with YouGrow, I have seen great success with their Spotify services, which is why I am an affiliate. I’m hoping to try YouTube shortly (and will report back). However, based on my previous interactions with their team, I am still confident in recommending them for YouTube video advertising.

3. Promotion

Promolta is a strange character, to be honest. While Omari is a real person (and a team) who promotes music across multiple platforms (including Instagram and social media), Promolta is more of a platform that focuses on YouTube videos. It also has a Pokémon-like ring to it.

Anyway, with Promolta, you’re effectively paying to have your video pushed to an audience, rather than getting consulting on your music and promo plan. You don’t have a lot of control over where your video appears and how it’s promoted when you use Promolta. Simply submit your movie URL and let them handle the rest. However, from what I’ve observed, you will receive views even if you don’t have control.

I think this Pro Musician Hub review of the service is very useful. If you’re simply perusing this list to see if Promolta is worth your time, here’s what you should know:

Was [the amount of views] what I had anticipated? No. But that’s probably because I went in with really high expectations. Would I have acquired the same number of views on my own in the same amount of time? I seriously doubt it.

Essentially, Promolta will increase the number of views on your video for a reasonably low fee. It’s not a good strategy to increase subscribers, and it’s not a good lever to pull if you have specific placements or strategies in mind. However, it will provide you with some social credit.

It’s also very inexpensive. The price for 500 views starts at $10 and goes up from there. Your choice.

4. Fiverr

When I first learned about Fiverr in college, I used it to send a friend a bizarre “happy birthday” video (performed by a guy wearing a beaver hat). Don’t worry, the platform has a lot more to offer. It is, nevertheless, an excellent alternative if you want to send strange birthday wishes to folks.

Essentially, Fiverr is a massive freelancing marketplace where you can obtain just about any kind of job — including a slew of music promotion services — for a very low price ($5).

Fiverr is at third place on my list, but it could be anywhere because the quality of service varies drastically depending on the supplier you work with. You might achieve fantastic outcomes. You could get Excellent outcomes. You may receive bot plays. It all depends on your coworkers.

Two words of wisdom:

First and foremost, if you’re going to use Fiverr, you must have a clear understanding of your objectives. There are 309 results for YouTube music promo, and each seller’s services vary greatly. Your music may be included in video playlists. Some will promote your films on Facebook. Some people will work hard to get your video posted on blogs. Although it should go without saying, don’t pay someone unless you truly desire what they’re offering.

Second, do your homework on the sellers. I wouldn’t work with anyone who has fewer than 100 reviews and less than five stars. But, even if they have it, Check their reviews to make sure they aren’t bogus. Then, to the extent possible, interact with the supplier and inquire about their procedures and previous results.

Don’t just throw money (and your video) in the garbage.

5. Digital Marketing by Juss Russ

Juss Russ is an intriguing option, particularly for hip-hop and R&B fans. They advertise “Legit YouTube Promotion” on their sales page, and they also manage a few legitimate music blogs where you can get your song promoted (which steers dangerously close to payola, but is also proof they have an audience). They have a few more levers at their disposal than some of the other companies on this list because they have their own network built up; they’ll conduct ads, media, and blog placements, and they’ll probably run your campaign on their own platforms. They’re also more upfront about the outcomes they offer, stating that if your song is poor, it won’t do well. Fair point (which you won’t hear from the genuine scammy services because they want you to pay them regardless).

Services start at $49.99, which is a reasonable price.

Juss Russ, like many of the other firms on this list, has a few unfavourable reviews alleging that they haven’t delivered on their promises. Although my experience suggests that they are anomalies (and digging through them reveals that there are some genuine positive ratings), it’s worth noting.

6.Planetary Group

Planetary Group has an enviable customer list (have you heard of the Beastie Boys? Buckley, Jeff? The soundtrack to Snakes on a Plane?!?).

This indicates that they are both legitimate and pricey. In fact, they’re the only service on this list that doesn’t provide a price list. This is what it means: They’re a small, consultative firm. They do offer YouTube music marketing, but not in a packaged format, so you can’t just pay for 1,000 views on a video. (In terms of overall service quality, this is probably a positive thing.)

If you have a reasonable budget and want a custom campaign, this is a good alternative to consider.

Oh, plus they’re based in Los Angeles, which is generally advantageous for music-related matters.

7.SongLifty

SongLifty provides promotional opportunities for Spotify, Instagram, Facebook, and, yes, YouTube. They’re similarly inexpensive to Promolta; a video views campaign costs $7, and a subscriber-focused campaign costs $10.

According to what I’ve seen, the views they get are legitimate; they have a few ratings on Facebook and TrustPilot that indicate most artists have had excellent experiences with them. As an example, consider the following:

I’ve been using Songlifty.com for Spotify and Youtube for over a year now. They always deliver, as do most businesses, but their customer service in terms of responding to inquiries is excellent. The website is also incredibly user-friendly and offers reasonable prices. The service and delivery were excellent.

It’s possible that these reviews are fraudulent, but there aren’t any negative evaluations to be found, therefore I believe this firm is very constant.

So, why are they ranked sixth? One major reason is because they don’t have a US service, which means your views are probably certainly coming from low-cost (ad) sources. This may be OK if you are an international artist. If you’re based in the United States, though, you should generally stick to a YouTube promotion strategy that focuses on where you really play.

8. Soundgroup Promotion

Promosoundgroup is a group of people who advertise sounds, which you might not believe.

Sorry. I simply believe the titles for these products are fantastic.

Anyway, if you’re on a budget and don’t care about gaining views from the United States, this is another YouTube promotion service worth looking into. Promosoundgroup is based in Ukraine, and they also have a Fiverr shop you can check out in addition to their main website.

I had them neck-and-neck with SongLifty, but after digging a little deeper, I dropped them to seventh because they have more negative reviews (though it’s worth noting they have a lot more overall) and one major red flag: they’ve been accused of running click farm campaigns on Facebook and Instagram, as detailed in this thoroughly entertaining post from MEOKO (who paid for 1,000 Facebook likes and dug into some pretty ridiculous profiles).
