Self Management for Musicians-by Mike del Ferro

38 Why You Should Upload Videos Natively on Facebook (and Skip the YouTube Links)

Mike del Ferro - Pianist & World Traveler Episode 38

In this episode, I’m diving into one of the simplest yet most powerful strategies for boosting your reach on social media: uploading videos natively on Facebook. I’ll share why Facebook’s algorithm heavily favors native uploads over external links like YouTube, and how this little shift can make a massive difference in your engagement. I’ve tested this myself, and the results are real—more views, more interaction, and a stronger connection with your audience.

If you’ve been posting YouTube links on autopilot, it’s time to rethink that habit. Join me as I break down the reasons and share practical tips to help you get the most out of your videos on Facebook.
