Did you know that every minute, almost 300 hours of video is uploaded on YouTube? Or that 15 billion people visit this platform every month? Well, it doesn’t stop there. We view almost 5 billion hours of videos every single day on YouTube, according to an article on Live Tiles. How do you make your videos stand out from the crowd and garner more views?

One thing that is crucial is holding on to the interest of the viewer right till the end. This can only be done by making the content visually and audibly appealing and engaging. An average viewer spends 20-25 minutes per visit and within five to ten seconds, decides whether they want to continue viewing a video or not. One thing that does resonate with viewers is music. So, here are some great free music sites that can help enhance your videos.
