Facebook is the world’s leading social platform, reaching over 60% of internet users- that’s 2.6 billion monthly active visitors. Yes, you heard that correctly- billion. That fact alone is reason enough to publish and monetize Facebook music videos.
Over the summer, Facebook announced the official launch of Facebook Music Videos. The new feature allows artists and independent outlets to distribute their music videos on ‘Facebook Watch’, giving creators the opportunity to monetize their content. This is a powerful promotional tool, so let’s not count it out- Facebook is the real deal.
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
To be eligible to add your music videos on Facebook Watch, the below steps must be taken:
- Click here to visit your artist index
- Click the Edit button on the right-hand side of each Creator
- Once your Creator edit page is open, scroll down to the Facebook text box
- In the text box, add or edit your official Facebook Artist Page URL (Your Facebook page must be categorized under ‘musician’, ‘band’, or ‘artist’)
- Once complete, click Update in the lower right corner
HOW IT WORKS
Through the Vydia platform, eligible users will upload their music videos, add metadata, and assert rights ownership. They will then be able to select Facebook as a video destination.
