YouTube channel number 1 check out your competitors channels take a look at the
videos of the top channels in your niche watch the videos that are receiving tons
of views and comments and ask yourself why are these receiving so much activity
if they are tutorial based they're probably answering questions to the biggest
problems of the audience if they are entertainment based they're probably
providing very entertaining videos number 2 look at your most popular
videos go into YouTube analytics and look at the top 10 videos on your
channel watch the videos that are receiving the most views then create
similar videos around the same topics you can do the same to find the most
popular videos on your competitors channels just click the videos tab then
filter by popular videos number 3 survey your audience it's quite possible that
you're not targeting the right audience or know your audience very well the best
way to create content that your audience wants to watch is to ask them if you
have an email list send out a survey Visit Facebook groups and forums in
your niche so you can ask questions to your target audience ask for topics they
would like to know about then create videos surrounding that content number 4
give your channel art a makeover images are what people see most therefore take
a look at your current thumbnails and compare them to your competitors
thumbnails ask yourself the question would you click on your thumbnail over
your competitors thumbnails if not redesign your thumbnail to make it
clickable do the same for your channel banner I find that most of the traffic
that comes to my new videos come to my channel homepage therefore make an
obvious in your channel banner what your channel is all about it's the first
thing that viewers will see when they visit your channel homepage number 5
optimize your channel homepage make sure your channel trailer clearly encapsulates
what your channel is all about include the main benefits of
why people should subscribe to your channel then include a powerful
call-to-action keep in mind these are people that have never seen your channel
so if you want them to subscribe you've got to give them a good reason to your
channel homepage should also include more in-depth content that first-time
subscribers will want to watch therefore organize your channel home page into
sections that contain playlists with more in-depth content number 6 do correct
keyword research if you want your videos to be discovered in the search engines
then create videos based on the keywords that people are entering into the search
engines the easiest way to get keyword suggestions is to enter your main
keyword in the youtube search box it will give you a list of keyword phrases
that you can create video topics for number seven create engaging videos the
most important ranking factor for YouTube videos is audience retention and
watch time the longer somebody watches your video the more chances of that
video being promoted by YouTube the longer somebody stays watching your
video or successive videos the higher chances of YouTube promoting that video
to other channels it also has a higher chance of appearing in search so if your
video ranks well in the search engines and gets promoted by YouTube on other
channels your channel will increase in views when creating your video put
yourself in your viewers shoes the first 10 or 15 seconds of your video is very
crucial therefore ask a question or explain exactly what your video is going
to be about so people will continue watching your video throughout your
video expand upon what you promised at the beginning and end it with a strong
call-to-action to subscribe or watch another video number 8
promote your video across multiple platforms after you've uploaded
optimized and published your video your work has just begun make sure you
promote your video across all your social media channels which includes
Facebook Twitter Instagram etc find Facebook groups and forums related to
your niche and engage in conversation in those groups and forums for example when
somebody asks a question related to your niche you can add your video link in the
comments so it provides an in-depth answer you can also repurpose your
content by embedding your video on your website if you transcribe the
content you can submit it to document sharing sites number nine collaborate
with similar channels when you collaborate with other channels in your
niche then your videos are exposed to a different audience this may result in
more views and subscribers to your videos and your channel the more
collaborations you do the more exposure you get number 10 upload more frequently
when you upload more frequently it triggers the YouTube algorithm and sends
more views to your videos if you're only uploading once a week think about
uploading twice or three times a week and observe the differences if you're
getting a boost in views then you know the frequency of your uploading is
working also check your traffic sources to see where most your traffic is coming
from if most of traffic is coming from the west coast of the USA then try
publishing your videos in the morning at West Coast time if you are unable to
publish multiple videos on a regular basis each week try live-streaming the
beauty of going live is that you don't have to edit the video afterwards which
saves you a ton of time instead it's a great opportunity to connect with your
audience and answer their questions when you implement these 10 suggestions wait
a few weeks to observe the changes channel growth doesn't happen overnight
but with the upcoming weeks and months based upon the changes you've made

keep in mind if you still don't see much progress in the growth of your channel
