music.

Speaking of easy, we've made it easy for you to get this TubeBuddy member perk.
On YouTube click on the TubeBuddy Drop Down Menu.
Under the My Account section you’ll see our Member Perks.
Click on member perks and you will see ALL of the Great perks you get with a PAID TubeBuddy
license.
We’re going to head over to the Lickd Member perk.
Once you do that you all you need to do is sign up for Lickd through TubeBuddy and you
will get 15% off any of the songs you license from Lickd AUTOMATICALLY applied when you
check out.
Once you’ve done that you get your discounted rate for Single use licensing from Lickd.
WHICH AGAIN is one of the ONLY ways to use music from popular artists legally in your
videos.
Once your account is linked you can start browsing the Lickd.co website!
You can search for music by looking at the home page which shows a variety of song choices!
The main homepage has numerous carousels they change out and update!
Things like just added, stuff on Lickd’s radar, and some instrumental only options.
Just added is a great place to find out what’s new and popular or, you can also scroll up
and click “Get started” or at the top select browse or search.
Browse is really great; it offers multiple types of ways to get music.
We’ll select playlists Lickd told us this is one of their users favorite ways to find
music.
Any of these options will do when it comes to finding music!
Now let’s go ahead and select search.
Once search loads you can type in an artist, or filter down the results to your liking.
For song properties we’re going to leave it unselected.
We’re going to order by most relevant to see what Lickd thinks makes the most sense
for our selections, then for mood I want a wide variety of options so I’ll leave that
blank too.
Under that is the theme of our video, since we’re doing a tutorial we’re going to
choose “How to & Style” which is the default category from YouTube.
All of these are based on YouTube’s OWN categories!
Notice as I selected a track the recommendations change it will keep doing his until we find
music that fits our videos!
Next we’ll choose Genre as house, since we usually house type music in our videos!
We’ll make the length at max 7 minutes since the TubeBuddy videos tend to be pretty short.
Then for tempo we’ll set it to medium to match how I speak.
Also, if you are doing a sponsored video you can select that option and it will show you
songs that are allowed to be used in a brand sponsored video.
Since the video we’ll be using the song in isn’t sponsored we’ll leave this unselected.
Finally you can choose your targeted social media platform!
Then all you have to do is listen to music and find out what works for your videos!
It is important to note that we’re only focusing on YouTube!
Be sure to check the FAQ when it comes to using other social media platforms!
This is how we found the song we used.
Lickd wanted us to let you know 90 - 95% of the songs used are just fine to just go ahead
to license for single use upload.
But songs from UMG like this instrumental here from XXXtentacion will have a claim appear.
To fix the claim, just message Lickd support and they will manually clear it!
This is because Universal Music Group wants to manually clear all videos so be sure to
make the video unlisted first and get this done.
Again this is a GREAT service from Lickd and we can’t wait to use it more moving forward!
All links can be found in the video description down below and be sure to reach out to Lickd
if you have any questions!
I’m Andrew Kan from TubeBuddy and thank you all so much for watching!
