If you follow all the tips that I cover in this video, you should be able to eventually
gain 100 subscribers, every single day on YouTube. So, let's just jump straight into
the video. Hey guys, what's up!? It's Muaaz here and
welcome back to another video. So, this past weekend I actually uploaded my 2020 guide
on how to get 1,000 subscribers every week on YouTube. In the last year, I've gained
over 60,000 subscribers on YouTube, and that averages out to me having gained over 1,000
subscribers literally every single week of 2019. I'm super blessed about that, and I
couldn't have done it without you guys. So, in that video, I shared some of my advanced
tips that I used last year to gain that many subscribers. And I noticed a lot of people
in the comments and even in my DMs reached out to me and said those tips were a bit too
advanced, and that since some of you guys are just starting out, you were looking for
some more basic tips on how to get like your first 100 subscribers. So that's what this
video is going to be about, how to get your first 100 subscribers on YouTube.
I've said this multiple times, and I really do believe it like to my core but getting
your first 100 subscribers on YouTube is probably one of the hardest things you can do when
trying to build up your YouTube channel. Like if you think about it, most channels on YouTube
don't even have over 100 subscribers, so if you pass that number, you're already ahead
of so many other people, which is kinda crazy to think about.
In this video I'll be covering a lot of basic tips that some of my newer viewers just might
not know yet, so of course don't feel obligated to watch this video if you feel like you're
too clouted or too cool for it, but I don't know, maybe keep it open in another tab while
you're like editing or something because then, you can still hear my voice and you just might
learn about something that you didn't know before.
Also, I said this in my last video but go and drop your 2020 YouTube goals in the comment
section below. And then go and find someone else's comment, and just wish them luck, give
them some like extra encouragement, and stuff like that, because honestly, we can all use
that like extra boost in motivation. But anyways, let's get on with the video!
So while you guys are dropping your 2020 YouTube goals in the comment section below, I want
to quickly talk about the importance of your YouTube Channel Branding. And you're probably
like, Muaaz, what the heck even is that!? But let me break it down for you guys, so
the first thing is of course going to be your YouTube channel name. And this is going to
be the brand name that you're going to be building an entire YouTube channel around
for hopefully a long time. And I've made a video talking about the best way to pick a
really good YouTube name, so you should definitely check that video out after you're done watching
this video. But just to summarize that video, pick something that's like short, sweet, and
memorable. And what that means is basically pick something that's easy to remember. Because
that way, if you name ever comes up in conversation for example, people can easily remember it,
go home and subscribe to you, and of course that's just like one random example I just
came up with, but think about it yourself. Your favorite YouTubers probably have very
easy to remember names, and that's exactly what you want to do as well!
And if you're sitting there right now thinking "I don't know if my name is good," then definitely
check that video out when you're done with this one because I share some really good
tips in it. And I don't know, I definitely think it's worth watching.
But anyways, I don't think I said this in the beginning of the video but if you guys
are enjoying the video so far, please do hit that like button, because it really does help
the channel grow and it kinda lets me know that you guys enjoy these videos. But anyways,
let's get back to the video. Hey man, I just checked out your channel,
you only have 6 videos right now so definitely consider uploading more. Also another thing
that you should do is work on using more custom thumbnails, I've made a few tutorials on that
so definitely check those out! The next part about your channel branding
is of course going to be your channel picture and your channel art. Sometimes you're going
to get very lucky and a random person is going to find your youtube channel, or like they're
going to find a video of yours. And if they see that you have a very cool looking profile
picture, there's a pretty good chance that they'll end up going to your channel. I'm
sure a lot of you do that too, I know I myself do that all the time whenever I'm responding
to comments in my comment section. If I see a profile picture that just looks really cool
or like captures my eyes, I 100% click the profile picture just to see like what their
channel is about, if they're a YouTuber, if they upload, and things like that. And if
there's not a nice looking profile picture, or it's just an average one, I probably won't
be curious enough to click the channel and see if they're like a YouTuber, or just see
what else is on the channel. And the same thing honestly goes for your YouTube channel
art as well, YouTube just gives us these tools to help us build a brand.
And if your channel stands out then you have a tremendous opportunity to gain more subscribers
on YouTube fast because when people find your channel. They'll see that you're putting in
the work on the small things like your channel art, your channel picture, even your name,
something as simple as that and there's a pretty good chance that you'll be able to
convert that random viewer into a new subscriber. Also if this is your first time ever watching
a YouTube video of mine; Hi nice to meet you, my name is Muaaz! But if you guys do want
to see more videos like this, then please do hit the subscribe button below the video.
I make tons of other tip videos just like this one right here. So definitely check them
out after you're done watching this video! But yeah like I was saying, if a random viewer
sees that you're putting work into your channel art, your channel logo, and ideally your channel
thumbnails, then there's a pretty good chance that you'll be able to convert a random viewer
into a new subscriber! I'm not gonna talk too much about thumbnails in this video because,
honestly they're pretty complicated, and a lot goes into them. But, if you guys do want
to hear me talk about thumbnails and give you some advice, definitely check out the
Thumbnail guide I have on my channel already. I cover everything from like font selection,
color vibrancy, and a bunch of other cool stuff when it comes to thumbnails so I don't
know, that video is definitely worth checking out if you're done watching this video.
But anyways, let's move onto the next tip, which is gonna be consistency.
I'm almost positive that every single person watching this video has heard their favorite
YouTube talk about this but there's a reason why everyone says it and it's because it's
really the foundation of why almost any channel grows on YouTube. From what I've seen, YouTube
definitely recommends new viewers to channels that upload often. The reason I think it does
that is because those channels are able to keep viewers on the website of YouTube itself,
longer. YouTube of course wants people to stay on it's site, right, so in my opinion,
I think that's why we see so many of the same channel's getting recommended to us so often.
Also guys, I said this before, but please do hit that like button if you're enjoying
the video so far. It really does help the channel grow and it lets me know that you
guys are enjoying these videos. Because I'm doing my best to share as much knowledge and
value as I can in this video to help you guys grow your channel, so a simple like would
really go a long way. Anyways, another thing with being consistent
is your subscribers and new viewers themselves will like that, and appreciate you for it.
It's kind of like when your favorite TV episode airs at the exact same time every week. Honestly,
I don't even watch TV anymore, and I doubt a lot of you do too. But in that example,
you'd probably be getting ready to sit down and watch the new episode, and if you think
about it, YouTube is what a lot of people watch these days instead of TV. Which is really
cool to think about. So anyways, this is like a great way to gain more subscribers on YouTube.
Literally just upload more often and upload on a schedule. Do your best to follow this
schedule and people will keep coming back for literally every single upload. To be honest,
you really just can't expect to grow a whole bunch if you're not uploading often or more
than just a few times, YouTube just doesn't work that way and honestly if you found a
random channel that barely uploads, you're probably not going to subscribe to it.
Also, one thing when you are being consistent is to always take feedback from your audience.
Even if it's just 1 or 2 people watching every video, that's what I'm guessing for a lot
of the people who are watching because we all just want to get our first 100 subscribers.
So it doesn't really matter how many people there are, if it's 1, 2, 20, whatever, right.
If someone leaves feedback in the comments, I don't know why I pulled my sleeve down and
then rolled it back up but anyways. If someone leaves feedback in the comments, make note
of it and try to apply it in the next upload. Because your subscribers will notice that
and if they see that you actually listened to them, they'll want to keep coming back
in the future because that shows that you care.
And that tip right there kind of builds onto another thing that I really I wanted to talk
about and that is to be active with your community, no matter the size it is. If it's 10 subs,
20 subs, 50 subs, whatever -- I can't explain how many creators I see grow their YouTube
channel very fast, and then stop being active with the community that they have, which honestly
just makes no sense to me at all. I don't know if you guys have seen this too but I've
seen this multiple time. People get to a certain level on YouTube or whatever, and then think
they're too cool to reply to their followers, when they're followers are the reason they're
successful in the first place. It literally just makes no sense, but a lot of people do
it and I don't know why. And don't get me wrong, I know that like, when you get super
high up. Like really famous on YouTube, it's really hard to respond to people right, I
don't know, in my opinion you can still respond to at least like one or two comments on every
video, right? Like am I wrong here? Am I reaching here, I think I'm pretty right! And of course
I'm not calling out any creator specifically, but what I'm just trying to say here is just
do your best to talk with the people who take time out of their day to watch your videos,
take time out of their day to follow you on social media, and actually engage with your
content. Because at the end of the day, you owe them. Like they're the reason why you're
successful. And you interesting with them just honestly goes a long way and at the end
of the day, we're all human and we appreciate it when others go out of their way for us.
So just do the same for someone else, that's all I'm trying to say, I'm not calling anyone
out. Let me know if you like that tip because that's a tip that I still follow very strongly
till this day! Now the next thing I want to talk about is
the importance of networking and collaborating with other creators. Now of course this tip
isn't one you have to follow but it definitely makes the whole YouTube thing much more enjoyable.
Being a creative is usually a pretty lonely road and it's hard to do it alone, so find
a way to make friends with other people your channel size. And honestly they can be bigger,
smaller, whatever it is. Just try to like surround yourself with people who have similar
goals to you, because I don't know. It's just going to help you be way more motivated when
you're trying to create content. I made a video on collaborating back in the
day, so definitely check that out when you're done watching this one. But after watching
it and learning where to go to make new friends, what you should do when you find people is
add them on Discord, follow them on twitter, Instagram, whatever is it, and then maybe
even collaborate with them on some videos. Lets say you have 10 active subscribers, and
they also have 10 active subscribers, and you both make some videos with each other,
some of your subs are going to go support them, and some of their subs are going to
come support you as well. And this way you will both grow together, and I know that 10
subs is a super small number but it's a starting point and you need to remember that, just
like you, even your most favorite YouTubers all started at 0 subscribers. And then they
worked their way up because at the end of the day, small numbers like 10 will eventually
add up to 20, and then 40, and then 80, and then so on and so forth. After you collaborate
with someone a few times, find someone else to create content with and do the same stuff
with them, and just keep evolving with every single collaboration you do and you'll see
that eventually you're slowly working your way up the ladder.
Also for those of you who are still watching this video, you're honestly the best, because
I don't even know how long this video is now, but I don't know, if you made it this far
into the video, thank you so much! A tip I've said in the past is that you should always
pick one thing and stick with it, when it comes to the type of content that you make,
and that definitely does hold true for like larger YouTubers but when you're starting
out, an advantage that small channels have is that you have a small audience. And because
of that, you're able to experiment with the type of content you make, like you can experiment
with different kinds of content without your audience getting "mad" at you or "leaving"
you because you're trying new things. When trying new content, eventually you'll
find something that works better than something else you were trying before. And that's kind
of like the main point of trying new stuff. A lot of people sit there and complain that
they're not gaining subscribers fast but when you actually look at what they'd doing, they
just keep making the same content over and over again. If something isn't working, you
should try making small changes or even big changes and just see if works better that
way. Just the one tip that I can give you for the type of content you make is that you
should always make content that people are actually searching for instead of just uploading
whatever you want upload because you just feel like uploading. YouTube just doesn't
work that way. But anyways guys, for those of you who are
still watching this video, please let me know what topic you guys want me to cover next
on my channel and I'll make that video as soon as I can! If you do want to see like
some more advanced videos on this topic, be sure to check out the video that I uploaded
last week on how to get 1,000 subscribers every single week on YouTube. But yeah, drop
a like and subscribe to the channel if you guys enjoyed the video and I'll see you guys
in the next one! Peace.
