Hey Kevin. When do I get my 100 subscriber play button,
Jonathan,
did you mean your 100 million subscriber play
button. No, definitely not that well not yet at least So when do
I get it. Sorry I'm afraid there isn't a play button for 100
subscribers. Wait what after all of that hard work. This must be
some kind of a mistake. Right. Well, I'm not programmed to
laugh, but you can make a play button yourself. If you want to
get research it further for you. Go ahead. Hey what's up
everybody, my name is Jonathan and welcome to my channel where
I talk about growing online and growing your income. That sounds
good to you then, once you subscribe so that you don't miss
any videos like this one. So finally, 100 subscribers. First
off, I want to thank my wife and daughters for supporting me over
the years and listening to me talk about starting a YouTube
channel and procrastinating and not actually doing anything
until right now. Secondly, I want to thank the YouTube
algorithm for finally recognizing my out of this will
video creation abilities. We did it. You get you, you and I, we
did it. Okay, seriously. No, it feels really good to finally hit
and go past the 100 subscriber count, even though it may seem
like a small number to the average viewer. It took a lot to
get to this point, believe it or not, organically, that is, I
mean without the ads or even sharing with family and friends,
reaching that 100 subscribers. It gives me some hope some hope
that you guys appreciate this content and one more like this,
which encourages me to make more of it, which is exactly what I'm
going to do. But first, I want to quickly tell you how I got to
100 subscribers so as to share the experience with you, not
actually from zero to 100, but an unexpected boost in
subscribers when I was only a few subscribers behind 100, I'm
struggling to get past that, hopefully you can use something
from this, and apply it to your own channel as well. So there
was one week after posting a video about how to get to 50
subscribers. And I was thinking, How do I move the needle. How do
I get those three extra subscribers, because I was at
least, I was around 97 subscribers at a time. How do I
get past that that 100. All I need is three subscribers, but
should I do all of those tactics that I spoke about in previous
videos, how can I get a fresh perspective, how can I do
something different and do it the smart way. so I'm thinking
about that, believe it or not, I get a YouTube notification from
vid IQ, and the title of the video is how to get your first
100 subscribers on YouTube. True story. I know, right. Sure,
there are a lot of videos online about that, but it was like
YouTube is so advanced now it read my mind, and the algorithm
now gives you notifications based on your thoughts. So of
course, I clicked it immediately. And as I clicked
it, and the video started, I couldn't help but comment and
let them know that what perfect timing, this was, this is
exactly what I was thinking about. So I commented, what
perfect timing. Let's go. I was really hyped, and then I said,
Who else here is trying to get past that 100 subscribers. So I
started looking into video. I'm not even 30 seconds into it I
get a notification from YouTube that somebody has just
subscribed to me, I thought I was quite random. I don't know
about you, but when you're really small YouTuber, and you
get a subscriber, it gets your attention. Come on, you know
it's true. Anyway, so I checked it out. And then I tried getting
back into the video, but before I could even on pause. I got
another notification. I said okay, what's going on here. So
when I checked it out, it was actually a response to the
comment that I just made, and as I get into the comments. I read
another comment on this comment is from a guy by the name of
loggerhead please. I think that's very pronounced. It says,
I am your 100th subscriber, and I just sat back and I wondered
how did that happen and just one minute later from thinking about
it, too I have mind control with that's not what I thought. But
what I was thinking is that I was trying to do this for a few
days. And now I hit the goal, and I was not even intentional.
I didn't even get to implement any of it it was exceptional
advice from videos yet. What was also really unexpected was the
support such an awesome community that were IQ has going
on there, where people are literally supporting each other
to reach their YouTube goals, and of course This video is not
sponsored, but that doesn't mean that future videos can be
heightened but I do.
So I saw some more comments about how people are struggling
with a channel, and then I realized that I ended up
spending more time in the comments then actually looking
at the video. So there I am checking on people's channels in
the comments, giving feedback, they're checking off mine and
doing the same thing. And before you know it, I had about 15
extra subscribers in a really short space of time. Well, to be
honest, during that session. When that video just went live,
I got probably about 10 new subscribers directly from there.
And then another 10 also came. A few hours later, that possibly
happen because the comment got ranked number one right below
vid IQ pinned a comment received over, 80 thumbs up, and a whole
bunch of replays, so if you think about it, someone
eventually checks out the latest video from that popular YouTube
channel, and for the people that actually go into the comment
section. It's logical, it's logical for them to check out
what's the top comment and what it was about. it just so what
happened that a percentage of people had to be like this
person is really trying on their content needs more views and
support. So let me see how I can help. And they did. So based on
the comments. I'm thinking that's the only way that I
really got those 20 something subscribers and only a few
hours, as a really small YouTube channel. So for my 100
subscriber club head please, what I have for you is a gift. A
gift of a one month, worth of adsense earnings, Jonathan you
have $0 in your adsense account, what, what happened. I'm afraid
you're not monetized yet. Right. Of course, you want to just
reach 100 subscribers, and you need about 900 subscribers more
to get monetized. Kevin has a bit of a malfunction, if you
want to hear from him in the next video, you're going to have
to stop what you're doing right now, and subscribe. Or else,
this might, this might be the end for him. So thanks again to
blob head please. I don't have anything to give you other than
a huge shout out. He has a really cool channel. What after
you all look at this in title video, it will check out his
channel, the link is in the description. Anyway, it's ironic
that my last video was about getting 50 subscribers. I know
this video is about how I reached 100. Not that I didn't
think it would have happened. Eventually, but I definitely
didn't think it would have happened a couple days later,
especially not like this. The truth is, while I mentioned in
previous videos about providing valuable comments on related
videos, and how that would get potential subscribers to your
channel. This was by no means my attempt at that strategy. I was
not even thinking about that. I literally saw this video pop up
in my feed. And it was what I was thinking about coming to
think about it now, I really did spend more time in the comments
section than actually looking at the video, I mean I looked at
the video, but I spend more time in the comment section, partly
because I was seeing how much traction there was getting, and
almost as though a mini community was being formed right
there, just within that one comment. So there you have it, I
was crawling to what the 100 subscriber mark finishing line
and then I finally got past it. Now keep in mind, this was just
from that comment that comment, got me a little bit over 20
subscribers in just a few hours. All right. And before that, I
wasn't getting subscribers for these. Think about that. So
again, thanks everyone for providing the support the
journey from zero to 100 subscribers. I really appreciate
it. And I will try to be more consistent than creating good
videos, and posting more often. As always, I hope you found
value in this video and thanks so much for 100 subscribers, and
I'll see you at 1. million. Yeah.
Well,
let's let's look at 200 subscribers first. Oh, and if
you're new here, and would like to know how you can get your
first 50 subscribers, or even more than that. Then how would
you check out this video right here. It's about what I would
have done on my first week on YouTube. If I had to start all
over again. So I'll see you over there.
