According to the New York Times of March 27th, “YouTube has added a free feature that will show video creators when and where viewers are watching their videos.

If your band has a video, you need to get right on this. The Times went on to say:

“During a YouTube test of the feature, a band uploaded its music performances, determined which states it was popular in via Insight, and planned a tour around that.”

This program, called YouTube Insight, provides a detailed view of a video’s popularity, both over time and geographically, broken down by state. (Internationally, YouTube Insight is not as insightful, providing only popularity by country.)

Here’s a way to market and test your market that costs nothing but time and effort.
