Question About Marketing Via Youtube... Love to Get Some Thoughts Here
I posted this in Off Topic but wasn't getting responses so I thought I'd ask here.
So I'm in a band and I figured a nice (if not unoriginal) way to promote our music would be to do videos of acoustic covers of other artists.
Here's my question: should I create a separate account for this series of videos?
It occurred to me that while I already have a YouTube account for our band and have uploaded some of our songs set to static backgrounds as videos, I should create a separate channel/account for these covers for a few reasons.
One is we probably don't want hundreds of covers covering up and suffocating our original material. Original material should have its own channel. If people want to check out the covers, they can go to the little trouble of going to that channel.
Secondly, I understand that you can't make money off of a YouTube channel which has any copyrighted material whatsoever. No one makes money off of cover videos they do like this as it's not allowed, and I think if you have even just one video where you're playing someone else's material, that means you can't make money from any content on your channel whatsoever.
Finally (and I'm not really sweating this but you never know) in case they do ever get power crazy and shut down all accounts with copyrighted abused material (like cover videos), the original account wouldn't be affected.
Ultimately I'm thinking I should create a separate channel then just link back in the description to our original content and videos for the promotion that way.
