Thanks Paul, Awesome content! I've heard of this before and have done covers before but not as strategically or consistently as this. I will watch your newsletter training next then, get after it!

[@rothaarbiker]

Great video - I will try this!

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

[@Beginnerjazzlessons]

Great tips as always Paul! I’m going to do this, jazz versions of pop stuff!

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

Yah! Lemme know how it goes

[@Beginnerjazzlessons]

@@PaulTheTrombonist Gonna do a version of this, I have a great 'smooth funk' setting on BIAB! Off to London in the morning for a short break with my son but I'll be on it when I get back! Great track! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5WveHuZn8SZo6M

@@trombonenina you have great taste!

[@FASFatherandSon]

Good stuff brother. We wanted to do this method before, just have to find the time.

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

Awesome, let me know how it goes

[@NicksOnlineTromboneAcademy]

Thanks Paul - I'm piggybacking YOU lol ! Curious as I'm growing a new Channel: was there a point where you noticed you got that "connection" with an audience? If so, what prompted that moment to happen?

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

Great question! Yes, the moment I noticed was when I would see comments on new videos referencing and older video. That is when you will know you are growing a loyal following. Make sense?

[@NicksOnlineTromboneAcademy]

@@PaulTheTrombonist awesome. I meant: can you say how the "tipping point" came, or was it more like "keep on trucking" until...?! I know, no magic key to unlock!

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

@@NicksOnlineTromboneAcademy you can look in your creators studio dashboard and see if the channel is growing. Keep note of where you are in subs at the beginning of each month and track it in a spreadsheet. Really learn to read you analytics and what videos your audience likes and make more of those.

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

there was no tipping point , just steady

[@drumchick99]

Thanks for this valuable info Paul! I love doing cover versions of pop songs but KZbin flags them so I can never monetize them. How do you deal with copyright and cover songs on KZbin?

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

Great question, just label it as “cover” in title . Not all you can monetize but some the labels will share ad revenue with youtubers

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

It will be in the “creator studio” if it says you can or not. I’d advise just to use covers as a way to get free traffic to you as an artist

[@drumchick99]

@@PaulTheTrombonist thank you!!

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

@@drumchick99 you are welcome! Thanks for stopping by

[@relaxationdaily]

Nice video and interesting method. I have heard of this before, however, I am hesitant about trying this method because I'm not sure if it works with my genre of music? I make calm relaxing piano music. Currently it's taking a long time to grow because this genre is saturated on KZbin, but I am doing some paid advertising with effective results. The only thing I could think of really is taking the main melody of one these songs, improving it in my style, and doing my own thing with it. However, the tempo will be much slower and I don't know if people will like that. I would like to give it a try, but I'm not sure which direction to go with my style of piano music. Take a listen and you'll see what I'm talking about. My audience LOVES my piano music. But I don't want to piss people off by making popular songs too "slow" or too "boring." lol. What are your thoughts on this?

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

Thats awesome! If I were you, I would do covers of unlikely tunes and apply to your genre. Example Katy Perry Firework "relaxing piano version" , Taylor Swift Blank Space "relaxing piano version" etc..

[@relaxationdaily]

@@PaulTheTrombonist Thanks for the recommendation! Although what do you mean by unlikely tunes? How would I find others in this type of genre like you suggest? I'm not sure. If you could explain how to find more like it, or what specifically you mean by "unlikely tunes" it would be helpful.

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

@@relaxationdaily any tune trending or famous in another genre that you can put you unique twist on it for your genre

[@relaxationdaily]

@@PaulTheTrombonist Thanks. I found a Jason Mraz songbook on sheet music plus that has a bunch of his famous songs. I was thinking about improving them in my style to see how people would like it. I mean it's worth a shot I guess. I want to work with artists I like and I like Jason Mraz.

[@PaulTheTrombonist]

@@relaxationdaily cool, awesome do it! Let me know how it goes
