Video CreatorItems

Video CreatorItems

Videos are a powerful way to connect with fans. Here's how to publish them as CreatorItems.

Video Item Types

• Music Video — Official videos for your tracks
• Video Content — Behind-the-scenes, live performances, interviews, studio sessions

How Video CreatorItems Work

Unlike music, videos aren't hosted directly on Lyrical Hustlers. Instead, you embed a video from YouTube, Vimeo, or another video host.

This gives you the best of both worlds: YouTube views AND Lyrical Hustlers discovery.

Creating a Music Video

1. Upload your video to YouTube first
2. Go to Creator Studio → Create
3. Select "Music Video" as the item type
4. Add your title (usually "Song Name (Official Video)")
5. Upload a thumbnail (high-quality still)
6. Add the YouTube embed URL
7. Write a description
8. Set pricing (free is recommended for music videos)
9. Mark featured artists if applicable
10. Submit for review

Creating Video Content

Same as music video, but select "Video Content" as the type. Choose the content type (behind-the-scenes, live, interview, etc.).

Video Pricing

Free — Best for building audience and engagement. Most music videos should be free.

Fixed Price — For premium content like exclusive studio sessions or full concert films.

Pay What You Want — Let fans support you while accessing the content.

Why Publish Videos?

Videos are the most engaging content type:

• They appear in the Explore page's video tab
• They can be submitted for featured video placement
• They give fans a deeper connection to your music
• Behind-the-scenes content builds loyalty
