A short while ago I asked my subscribers what's one thing you changed recently that resulted in
the growth of your YouTube channel. In this video, you'll learn seven ways to blow up YouTube channel
so you can get more views and subscribers. Let me know in the comments below what's one thing
changed recently that grew your YouTube channel.
Back To The Boom Bap says, thanks, 102,000 views right now.
I didn't know at the time but it was a polarizing topic. When you choose a controversial topic
that stirs up the emotions of people representing both sides of the topic, you'll get a lot of views
on your videos. Think about a polarizing topic that stirs up the emotions of people
presenting both sides of an opinion. It sometimes takes one video that blows up on your channel
that lifts all the other videos on your channel. Bastiaan Bakker says, getting involved in specific
niche-directed groups answering questions about traveling Costa Rica has gained me quite a nice
growth lately. When you interact with like-minded viewers in a group by asking and answering
questions, giving feedback, et cetera, you build relationships with the people in that group. If
you want to join my Facebook group Tube Video Boot Camp, click the link in the description
below this video. You'll be able to interact with over a thousand like-minded video creators.
Paula Prado says, changing the background. Recently she change a plant-related background
to a more warmer background containing shelves and pitches. It's worthwhile experimenting
with different backgrounds in your videos to see what your audience prefers. For example,
in my recent videos, I've been using a different background where I stand up and move from side
to side compared to this background where I'm sitting down. If you have the flexibility, you can
alternate between two backgrounds, or sometimes what I do is change the scenery and go outside.
Jason Francisco says, adding my face to the thumbnail. It worked for my previous video, hoping
it works for my latest video. His video gained 15,000 views within two months. I notice that when
I add my face to my thumbnails, it improves the clickthrough rate of my videos. Your thumbnail's
what viewers see first, so if they click on the thumbnail they're more likely to watch your video.
As you can see from this graphic using a TubeBuddy tool Click Magnet, faces do better
than no faces. Also, happy, surprised, and calm faces do better than sad faces. Use expressions
on your face in your thumbnails. Christian Blyne says, changing the time I released the videos.
I have mostly us viewers. So changed release time to suit that better. If you click on the
audience tab in YouTube Analytics, YouTube will show your graph when your viewers are on YouTube.
If you have TubeBuddy installed, you'll see the best days and times to upload your videos.
This is when most of your viewers are on YouTube. Alexander Nowak says,
I've got to go back to posting videos. The key to my channel growth over the years
has been posting consistently week after week, month after month, year after year. If you're
just getting started, you may only be able to upload once a week but as you gain momentum,
try to increase that to at least two times a week. One of the easiest ways to increase upload
frequency is to do live streams. Zero Mugen says, a dying light live stream I did a year ago.
Not sure why that particular one gained attraction because I have better live streams since then
but YouTube seems to favor that one, LOL. Live streams enable you to build a deeper
connection with your viewers and subscribers and also you can gain a lot of watch time hours.
This will help you to speed up the eligibility requirements of meeting the YouTube part program
of 4,000 watch hours and 1000 subscribers. Once you've achieved that, you can enable monetization
on your channel and build a passive income. Adam Mellor says, it's weird but it's this old video on
how to do a YouTube shout-out. Elective Amputation says, my best video was amputation day. Cute
Pets Central says, my best video was Cool, Funny Talking Dog. It was from the app, My Talking Pet.
Speaker 2: [inaudible 00:03:57] Speaker 1: It's not really funny
but it's cute. When you choose a topic that really resonates with your audience,
it will attract a lot of views and subscribers and may result in blowing up your channel. Therefore,
create a viewer persona template. Watch your ideal viewer demographics are, their online behavior,
offline behavior, psychographics, et cetera. The more you know about your ideal viewer, the
easier it'll be to come up with the right content ideas and make videos that your audience loves.
Whenever you create new content, you'll have a better idea if that topic will resonate with your
audience. Keep in mind the success of your video is not determined when you first upload it to your
channel. A video can blow up weeks, months, or even years later. For example, this video only
got 207 views in the first 24 hours. One year or 365 days later, it's received 304,931 views.
YouTube is a long-term commitment. Please be patient and enjoy the ride. Let me ask you a
question. Do you struggle to get more views on YouTube videos? If that's a yes, watch the video
on the screen right now on why is my YouTube video not getting views and how to fix it.
