Are you struggling to grow your YouTube channel? Have people stopped subscribing
or you're only getting a few subscribers per day? In this video you'll learn ten
ways how to get more subscribers to your channel and videos. Hello my name is
Herman Drost from drostdesigns.com if you want to grow your audience on
YouTube and generate traffic leads and subscribers on autopilot hit the
subscribe button or hit the bell notification icon. Number one Think like a
fan ask yourself why do you subscribe to a channel is it because you want to
learn something or perhaps you want to be entertained when I didn't know how to
changed a headlight bulb to my Toyota I went to YouTube to look for a tutorial
it saved me a bunch of money I get excited when I watch surfing videos
because it reminds me of my surfing days number two channel niche is not focused
if your content is all over the place it might be difficult for a viewer to
understand what your channel is all about therefore instead of trying to
cover different niches try to focus on one specific area for example if your
niche is about training dogs you might want to focus on one specific breed
number 3 create content viewers want to watch if a person is struggling with a
particular problem and you offer a solution they're going to become one of
your biggest fans if you create multiple videos that solve different problems
you'll get a wide range of fans just make sure that you hook your viewers in
the first 10 or 15 seconds you can do this by asking a question or stating
upfront what the video is all about if you put yourself in your viewers shoes
then you have to think why would I take time out of my day to watch this video?
Number 4 brand your channel this means that your thumbnails channel banner and
channel homepage should all be congruent I've discovered that my newly published
videos get more views from the channel home page than from the video watch page
therefore it's crucial that the channel art on your channel homepage is
attractive to first-time viewers if the channel art and content is aligned with
what the viewer is looking for they'll become a subscriber number 5 optimized
title description and tags your title description and tags must align with the
thumbnail I would say that the thumbnail and title are the two most important
elements because if nobody clicks on your thumbnail they're
not going to get to your video if the title doesn't resonate with your viewer
they're also not going to watch the video so make sure that your title
contains the main keywords that you want your video to rank for as you get more
videos that rank in the search engines you'll get more views and subscribers
the beauty of you getting your videos ranked is that they'll be working for
you 24 hours a day seven days a week for years to come the result is they you get
a consistent flow of views and subscribers to your channel. An
extremely useful tool to find the right keywords for your title description and
tags is TubeBuddy I'll place a link to it in the description below this video
number six multiple call to actions it's not enough to hope people will subscribe
without asking for it I recommend asking people to subscribe at the beginning of
your video after the intro and also at the end of the video instead of telling them
to subscribe give them reason why they should subscribe you can reinforce your
invitation by using subscribe graphics in your video YouTube automatically adds
a subscribe button to your end screen here are a few other places where you can ask
people to subscribe ask people to subscribe from your channel trailer ask
people to subscribe from your about page ask people to subscribe in the
description below your video ask people to subscribe in your comments by
pinning that comment to the top of your comments ask people to subscribe from
your website number seven create multiple videos on
similar topics if someone's watching a video on your channel that solves one of
their problems they probably want to know more therefore create videos on
similar topics so they can take a deep dive into the content this will result
in them spending more time in your channel and a greater opportunity for them
to become a subscriber a great way to display your series of videos is to put
them in a playlist add those playlists to the sections on your channel homepage
when the first time visitor watches the content on your channel homepage
there'll be more inclined to become a subscriber number eight engage with your
audience people like to associate with others
that they know like and trust when you reply to the comments left by
viewers that have watched your videos they'll get to know you a little bit
more when you continue to reply to the same viewers that are watching multiple
videos they'll become your subscriber number nine don't worry about your
competition it's very possible there are many other channels that are targeting
the same there's probably going to be authority
channels which are very large because they contain a ton of videos and they're
probably also getting a ton of views and subscribers there will also be smaller
channels that are growing steadily instead of targeting the same keywords as
your competitors look for longtail keywords that are less competitive
they'll get less traffic but they'll be easier to rank for as you create more
videos that target these less competitive phrases it will create a
snowball effect which will produce more views and subscribers to your channel
number 10 check analytics go into YouTube analytics and click on audience
retention if there's dips in the graph that means people are leaving your
videos at those particular times to prevent that from happening you need to
create engaging videos so make sure your thumbnail is well-designed so you get
the first click and the title is optimized correctly with the right
keywords you can also monitor where most of your subscribers are coming from just
click the subscribers link in YouTube analytics then click on the links to see
which videos are bringing in the most subscribers if you notice specific
topics are bringing you the most subscribers then create similar videos
to get even more subscribers if you continue to make incremental
improvements for each video you upload then your channel will continue to grow
and you'll get more subscribers here's an important thing to keep in mind
passion persistence and patience are the key factors for growing your channel
channel growth doesn't happen overnight but grows steadily as you invest more
time and effort if you think your channel is dying and needs reviving
