10 YOUTUBE TIPS TO GROW YOUR CHANNEL 😊

I’m a bit of an introvert, but YouTube is my favorite social media platform. It works great for me because it allows you to upload your videos and interact with other people through comments, shares, and likes. I have over 3,000 subscribers on this TikTok account that I created over 5 years ago. In fact, one of the videos that has been watched almost 1 million times was from someone who had never subscribed to my channel! How do You Do That?

Here are some quick tips to get started with growing your brand or channel on Youtube from scratch:

1. Choose video length wisely

The first thing you have to understand about your audience is that there are many different types of people. One person may enjoy listening to music while another might be more interested in action films or educational documentaries. Some brands also prefer shorter formats for their content. If you want to attract younger audiences, make sure your videos only include short clips, like seconds or less. This will help your videos to stand out from the crowd and increase your views. For example, if it turns out that “how to fix car battery cable” is not that helpful, don’t keep uploading longer videos! Just focus on getting viewers hooked right away so they can watch your videos again or even subscribe to your channels on future projects.

2. Target keywords carefully

You need to have something relevant for your niche to gain traction and attention. People are searching hashtags, tags, phrases, and phrases in order to find related topics. Make sure that you target these key words (which could be easily done by using tools such as Keywordtool) that describe what users are looking for or looking for online. As an added bonus, search engines will reward sites that rank high for them. Google likes to show ads when there is much traffic on websites, so you can boost sales without spending a lot of money (although they do give preference to paid advertisements).

It’s important that you only target keywords that fit your style of branding because sometimes people just aren’t into certain subjects or niches. Take inspiration from popular influencers you know and check out their work. Look at how they create amazing visuals with simple yet eye-catching content in various niches. By finding influencers with similar interests, you can become inspired and use their content to build an identity around your own brand or channel! Also, make space for branded items or products if possible. When you upload a product or service, ensure that it matches your company. Don’t forget that customers purchase products so they can feel that they belong somewhere!

3. Use SEO well

This tip comes before number 2 and is really important whether you’re planning to start your new business, or promoting your existing brand or channel. Search engine optimization (SEO) is vital to gaining visibility on SERPs and increasing web traffic. Think about your website’s structure, site architecture, and design. Ensure that everything is optimized for long-term success. Try to add a few links with relevant keywords throughout the page or blog. Keep the images sharp and clear so that readers won’t notice anything else. Be consistent with keyword usage; try to avoid using the same exact terms throughout. The beauty of SEO isn’t being perfect but focusing on quality and making the most of every word. Remember that a poor quality website can end up affecting engagement or even result in losing subscribers. So take time to build a good foundation so that you can optimize again with better results!

4. Engage your community

Engagement is crucial for any successful brand. After all, its primary goal is to attract new followers and grow your following. A strong social media presence should allow everyone to engage with each other, which means creating engaging and interesting content for your followers to consume. Whether your followers like your videos or share them on Instagram stories, they will still want to see you and interact with you. They will also tell their friends if they enjoy watching content you create! However, having too many active accounts can be overwhelming for those looking for a personal touch. Consider keeping your content brief but engaging to keep things fresh and provide value instead of pushing too hard. While not everybody wants to hear about affiliate marketing or sponsored posts, consider adding a few reviews from satisfied fans (even happy customers!) so that others have a positive experience. Having these conversations will help keep your audience engaged and loyal to your brand. And remember to let your followers know that if they leave content feedback (even something negative), we will respond. We’ll always listen, keep creating awesome content, and don’t forget to thank everyone who supports us in our journey!

5. Post timely

This step seems obvious, but it’s easy to overlook this element when trying to speed up growth. Sometimes posting every day or twice a day isn’t enough to reach your goals. Instead, try to post regularly and make regular updates rather than daily ones. Not only can this increase your engagement rate and productivity, it will keep people interested in what you have to say. With frequent posts, your audience will likely notice a difference in their behavior or even become your biggest fan. What’s more, people appreciate consistency and trust your opinion. Once you prove them otherwise by consistently posting and interacting with them, you will gradually gain more of their support and trust. Of course, this method involves significant effort on your part, including organizing posts, choosing appropriate tags, and writing captivating headlines. But once you get going, you can eventually start seeing your audience on a continuous basis!

6. Create viral reactions

For many platforms, including Youtube, the way that your audience reacts is indicative of what kind of content and ideas they enjoy consuming. Viral reactions (yes, that’s an actual term) happen when a user shares your content without even knowing you. Most people believe that if they like the brand or content, others also have to like the creator’s work. Let’s look at two main ways to generate this viral reaction. First, try to find trending subjects in your industry. Next, use entertaining memes/gifs to encourage your loyal fans. Another method is to have fun in the process, especially if you already know your audience, then turn to sharing funny GIFs. Simply put, viral reactions lead to great exposure for yourself and help your videos rank higher on the search results.

7. Get real and authentic

Real, honest interactions between creators and their audience not only yield excellent results, but they also help you gain trust within your network. Being genuine in your communication and showing support for your fellow creators and employees will go a long way in strengthening relationships among your audience. Plus, since most of their values are based on the same content, working together makes sense. Authenticity also increases credibility, which translates to brand loyalty and increased revenue. People are more likely to buy from brands that are seen as trustworthy. These traits are difficult to acquire or maintain if you spend all your waking hours producing videos and constantly creating content because in truth, you don’t have any control over the content you put out. If you take your time researching, crafting, editing, and publishing your content, you will slowly begin to earn back some control!

8. Join groups and forums

I find that joining and participating in group discussions can be invaluable in creating valuable connections and learning from others like myself. There are plenty of communities dedicated to specific topics, like tech, travel, fashion, fitness or lifestyle. Even though you can join these very large groups, the best choice would be to seek out smaller discussion forums where you can get involved or add value to the conversation. Forums are often filled with creative individuals who can offer insight on your topic or introduce new content you could publish or share on your channel. Plus, forums usually allow you to meet new talent and learn from other influencers in your category. Moreover, some of the most influential members in your industry often have big followings on social networks like Twitter. Creating profiles and signing up for these kinds of online communities often leads to opportunities for collaborations in the future! And remember, the easiest way to gain access to these resources is to simply ask your peers! No matter how busy you are, chances are you’ll be invited to join or join a forum. You can do this through emails, direct messages, or even just by sending an invitation via Slack. More importantly, you must always treat others as human beings who may have questions or opinions about whatever project you have in mind. Remember that the internet is a public space, and any form of interaction deserves respect. Always ensure that you are communicating positively!

9. Set goals for your own brand and channel

One of the best methods of setting small achievable targets for your overall goals is a SMART goal system. An acronym stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, and Timely. When describing a goal, I prefer to include objectives and goals in brackets, like this: [S]pecific is defining what you want to accomplish. Making sure you set realistic objectives also helps a lot. I also recommend thinking specifically about why you are doing this. Are you aiming to create an app, website, or a podcast on your channel, or are you looking for more clients or subscribers? Here I will be referring to the above steps:

10. Stay Consistent 😊

Consistency is absolutely essential when building your channel, but it can be challenging to keep it fresh. In fact, several businesses fail due to inconsistent releases. Therefore, it’s important to set milestones consistently and create regular plans for releasing new videos or projects. Building consistent content for your viewers will enable you to deliver great content consistently, and this..
