How to Get the Most Out of YouTube Music for a Portuguese Audience

YouTube grew to become one of the most popular websites that users globally use.  It’s a world that can be confusing for those who were never interested in social media, and specifically, anyone who lives in a country where the website isn’t a matter of public interest. This can become challenging for anyone who wants to start a YouTube channel and gain local popularity. This article goes out to anyone who is just entering the world of YouTube in Portugal or those who are trying to appeal to a Portuguese audience. Here’s what you need to know and how to get the most out of your experience.

Check Out New Content

YouTube is a place packed to the brim with content of all kinds. If you want a channel that teaches you how to garden, you’ll find it. If you’re looking for a food blogging channel, it’s also on there. Even if the type of videos you’re looking for are those where people react to other videos, a simple YouTube search will get them for you. Because YouTube has built itself an online space where users are free to share, it has become a place that preserves creativity which means that limits do not exist on the content you’ll find. 

You’ll notice that when you subscribe to a channel, you start seeing more of its videos on your feed and this is because of the YouTube algorithm. The algorithm learns about your trends, likes, and dislikes to know what videos to recommend for you or bring up next on autoplay. If you want to get the most out of YouTube’s wide content, you can take two approaches. One, make sure to like, dislike, and subscribe to the channels and videos you want more of. Two, you can keep your preferences minimal, giving the algorithm little information so it would keep recommending a larger variety of content.

Discover New Music

YouTube and YouTube Music are one of the best places where you can explore music online. Unlike many other music streaming services, the YouTube library is packed with many well-known artists out there, as well as new and aspiring artists, and underground artists, too. The developers from Viddly YouTube Downloader state that you can browse YouTube’s extensive library where you can access and even download the videos right to your drive. That way, if you ever have troubles with the internet, or if your internet package ever runs out on you, you won’t have to deal with the much-hated buffering wheel. Plus, having a fast internet allows you to pre-download whatever videos or songs you want before taking the metro to work or going on a road trip.

Connect With People Abroad

In the past, before social media, it was quite a struggle to connect with anyone abroad. Especially, if they lived overseas in countries like the U.S. or Brazil. With YouTube, from where you are in Portugal, you can instantly get in touch with your favorite YouTubers just by dropping a comment below their videos. One thing you’ll notice as you communicate over YouTube is that the platform has a culture of its own that extends beyond the differences in cultural identity. YouTube makes it easier to socialize with people abroad by uniting its users in one sphere, which is great if you are also interested in practicing your English language. What’s a better way to learn the language than by listening to native speakers, learning colloquial terms, and typing up comments? 

Express Creativity

Because of space and connectivity that YouTube provides, anyone can post anything and become a sensation. If you have ideas, art, or knowledge that you feel like you want to share, you can easily do that through YouTube. Don’t forget that you can make real money if enough people start watching your videos. Our tip is to focus on what makes you stand out which is an easy task if you come from a rich culture.

Now that you have a clearer idea of what you can do with your YouTube account and how to get the most out of it, go ahead, start searching for random topics and figure out what you like and what you’re not such a big fan of. As a bonus tip, if you find a selection of songs that you like, or if you are interested in a certain topic, you can create playlists to group your related videos. So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to explore YouTube’s potential.
