Audience Growth - page 4

Still uploading in English and wondering why your growth’s hit a wall? YouTube in 2025 is built for creators who think globally. That means reaching the right people, in the right language, with the right intent.

Wondering where people can buy your music? Or if it even matters where you’re selling it, iTunes, Bandcamp, Beatport… aren’t they all the same? Not even close.

Want to reach a global audience on YouTube? Translation can work wonders for that matter!

If you’re bilingual, you probably know that asking AI to translate Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, or French text often produces something clunky. Want to know why? Because that’s just a translation. However, localization goes a lot deeper. It’s about adapting memes, cultural nuances, humor, acceptable norms… and, yes, slang.

3-minute YouTube Shorts. First, they were promised. Then they were “launched.” Then came a few months of total chaos. No one really knew who had access, when it would work, or even how YouTube was counting views. Our DMs on social media were full of creators asking, “Why can’t I upload 3-minute Shorts?” And to be honest, we didn’t have a clear answer at the time either.

Ever had a random clip from your video blow up on TikTok, Instagram Reels, or even Reddit? Maybe a funny moment, a catchy phrase – suddenly, your content is everywhere, reaching people who’ve never even heard of you. That, my friend, is user-generated content (UGC) in action.

When it comes to expanding your YouTube audience, most creators automatically think of LATAM and European markets. But what about something not that mainstream? There is a huge Indian market out there. Yes, we know the CPM in India isn’t high, however, the results may surprise even seasoned creators.

YouTube is blocked in China, so many creators ignore this market entirely. That means missing out on millions of potential views and revenue. Your videos could make you multiple times more by reaching Chinese platforms.

YouTube’s global push toward translation features is no secret. We’ve seen it with subtitles, multi-language audio tracks, and now YouTube is testing dubbing options. But what does this mean for music creators? Unlike talk-heavy content, music doesn’t need dubbing to break language barriers. However, your music can reach a much wider audience if you play your cards right. Here’s how to do it effectively without wasting time on what doesn’t work.

You’re a YouTube creator with a strong channel, steadily growing your audience, optimizing your videos, engaging with your community. But at some point, you hit a ceiling.
