Hey everyone, Daniel here from TwinBytes with another tech-torial for you.
This time on a topic of how to grow your YouTube channel fast. There's been a few
different programs and services out there that claim that they can grow your
channel really quick; and I received a note, it was in the form of a comment,
I'll throw up on the screen here, that said awesome vids, keep the videos coming,
I think you should use SM Zeus. I really think it could help you grow your
channel quicker. I had a look at that program and it looks similar to some
other ones that I've seen in the past as well. It really is something that
they claim that you can purchase packages where you can gain more
subscribers and more views, more comments, likes, and all that kind of stuff.
Just depending on how much you pay and what you would like to get. You just
choose from the drop-down menu of the services and they'll give you that.
Some of these are straight out scams, while others are legitimate services
that they offer. But I'm going to explain about the pros and cons of that, which
really there's no pro's. I'll tell you right now. But you'll have to stick around.
coming up...
okay. So the first thing right off the bat is, you already know, if you trust
your gut on this. Anything that sounds too good to be true usually is, and in
this case you would be right. It is not a good idea to do it, and I'll explain why.
So if we look at vid IQ, they are a partner with Google/YouTube, and
it's a great extension as well that will help you. So I'm getting ahead of myself
a little bit here, but having a look at their website; one of the things they had
an article on, is why you should never buy YouTube subscribers ever. It goes
into a little bit of detail, and they actually link to the YouTube Terms of
Service, which I'll throw up on the screen here as well now. This is really
important, and one of the parts of the permissions and restrictions says that
you're not allowed to do, is to cause or encourage any inaccurate measurements of
genuine user engagement with service, including by paying people or providing
them with incentives to increase a videos views, likes, dislikes, or increase
the channel subscribers or otherwise manipulate the metrics. So that's really
what you're doing, when you're purchasing from these different services, it doesn't
matter if it's from SM Zeus or any other one that you could possibly come up with.
You're purchasing subscribers, likes, comments, whatever. You're violating the
terms of service for your YouTube account, and you'll get a community
strike against you if you're caught doing that, and you could end up getting
your channel banned; which the whole point you're trying to grow it and
sustain it over time. You don't want to have that taken
away from you because you tried to cheat the system and go too fast. So you want
to take it slow and steady, and you can grow your channel, and I'll explain that
briefly next. But the first thing was the short answer about this SMZeus, if you
see that going around, or any other service of by subscribers and whatever
to grow your channel fast. Don't do it, you're violating the terms of agreement
and it could just be a straight out scam you could be just throwing money away
anyway. But even if it's not a scam and it's a legit service and you really do
get those subscribers and views and likes, don't do it, you're violating the
terms of agreement. Okay, so I think I kind of killed that one right there.
So let's look at what can you do to grow your channel as fast as possible?
Well first off is posting videos regularly. This video in particular
I'm a little bit late getting out. I had some other stuff get in the way, but I am
getting the video out, so that I'll be back on track, ready for the next one
again the next week. So within the two-week period I'm still getting two
videos out. So it's still averaging a video a week. So you got to be consistent
but you can't just skip one week and do two videos the next week, it doesn't work
quite as well that way. You really gotta try and be consistent. So if you think
you can do a video a day, you're gonna grow a lot faster than me
doing one video a week. But you gotta stick with it and if you keep missing
too many you're kind of all over the place,
you can grow your channel because I actually did that right from the
beginning, up to where I hit over 2,000 subscribers, just posting videos whenever
and I did one video one month, I didn't do any the next month, and it did
three the next month after that, and then one a month
after, and then nothing again. So it was all over the place, no consistency.
I wanted to do a video a week and ... I wasn't fully committed and then
I walked away for two years doing nothing, after becoming a partner and I was still
making money. Now I've been straight at it for several months, doing videos every
single week and it's really showing the results now
after going at it consistently every week. So you got to be consistent.
That's number one.
Number two is using something like vid IQ, so I'm going back to them
again, it's an extension that you can plug into your Google Chrome and using
that when you're signed into Google will give you a lot of details about your
channel and other videos you watch that can compare to yours. They do offer
it free and they have a paid upgrade which will help you get other things
like generating tags for your videos and that sort of thing, which is the other part.
So that's a free tool. You can start with the free one and go from there.
Hand-in-hand with that tool, there's a bunch of other things. So making sure
that you have a good thumbnail for your videos, having a proper relevant title,
and it's got to be relevant, but it's got to be catchy and it's got to have the
keywords. The description of your video, make sure you fill that in with as much
detail as you can. The tags, put in the appropriate tags for the video don't put
in garbage that doesn't make sense because you think they're popular words
but they have nothing to do with your video. Make sure you have end screens
on the videos, and cards whenever possible. I may be missing a couple of
things, but when you upload your video, you can go through
the various tabs and look at all the information in there, and there
is a lot in there. Fill out as much as you can, but the important things I've
mentioned already, and there are lots of Youtubers out there that focus on how to
create good videos and improve your rankings in the videos. They'll talk
about how to make a good thumbnail ,how to choose a good title, how to get your
best keywords and that sort of thing. Using VidIQ if you really need to
help and you're gonna you're willing to pay for it, upgrade to the paid version
of VidIQ and then they'll help you with that part of things. I think that's about
it that I wanted to cover in this video. So really it's just making sure that you
don't fall for any of these scams; because whether they give you what you
want or not, it's like a get rich quick scheme kind of thing, where you can get
lots of subscribers, you can get lots of views, all this stuff, and it can give you
a boost, but you could be really putting yourself at risk and losing your channel
altogether. So instead, keep posting regularly and look for help
online from other YouTubers and getting great advice on how to make a good video
and how to really use your SEO basically for your videos to get them ranking higher.
So... and when you do everything right, things will snowball and start to
pick up speed. Sso that's it for this tech- tutorial. Thanks so much for watching guys.
