The one, most important aspect of streaming is to NOT act like a programmed bot - meaning that you should still keep your common ‘human’ behavior that YouTube is accustomed to. Here are some tips on how to do that:
DO NOT LOG OUT OF YOUR YOUTUBE ACCOUNT! this is the best way to verify streams as genuine. Even if you want to use incognito you should still log into your account. Remember: you need to have similar behavioral patterns as you normally do which brings us to the next point
DO NOT STREAM CONTINUOUSLY/ON LOOP! because it may be counted as spam streaming and thus not only not helping with increasing views but also risking to have previous views from your account deleted.
WATCH OTHER VIDEOS IN BETWEEN. This will also help with verifying your streams. Make sure you don’t have ‘Autoplay’ on so you can manually click on other videos.
Alternatively, you can USE PLAYLISTS. It is an easier method especially if you do not have the time to manually click on videos (or are sleeping) as it has the same outcome. We will be posting a streaming playlist on Twitter and Facebook soon after the MV is out.
WATCH THE FULL VIDEO without skipping or increasing the speed. Please note that skipping advertisements does not affect your streaming. However, watching full ads (and clicking on them) will help to increase the ad revenue.
Stream on A MAXIMUM OF TWO DEVICES connected to the same wi-fi source as YouTube also track the IP addresses to verify streams. Therefore if you have a laptop and a tablet connected to the same wi-fi, you can stream without having issues. However, to take an extra precautionary measure, you should not play the video at the same time on both devices. You can prevent this by having a playlist on shuffle on one of the devices. Moreover, you should log in to a different YouTube account on the second device if you can. If you want to use your phone for streaming as well, you can do so if it is your second device by following the steps above. By using your phone’s mobile data instead of connecting it to the wi-fi, you will be able to stream with it as a 3rd device because it will have a different IP address.
SHARE THE LINK TO MV on all platforms throughout the day. According to the Head of Business at YouTube, the trending algorithm is influenced by the interest a video gets from searches and shares rather than the number of views. Therefore, if you want to help with the MV trending in your country, you can do so by sharing the link of the video online (anywhere you can and it is relevant - SNS, forums, blogs, media outlets, websites - through posts or comments) and do so multiple times during the first 24 hours. This will not only help to trend the MV, but it will also increase GP (general public) reach and interest, and thus it will increase the view count.
EXTRA: Watching the embedded MV on Facebook or websites will help to increase the views on top of streaming on YouTube!
