- A lot of people have been getting this wrong
for the longest time.
I'm finally gonna explain why.
Hey, everybody, this is Roberto Blake of robertoblake.com,
helping you create something awesome today.
So, time for more Youtube tips.
We're gonna talk about how to get exposure
and how to get discovered in Youtube.
A lot of people have been getting this wrong.
A lot of people have been relying on the tactics
of sub per sub, of buying subscribers,
thinking that their subscriber count will somehow
magically get more people interested in their channel.
Some people have went as far as trying to throw money
at larger Youtubers in order to get them to do
shout outs on their channel.
I know this happened to Blasphemous HD,
who's a big Youtuber.
Small Youtubers have been offering me money lately,
and I've just felt very uncomfortable with that,
and that's super sketchy.
And I don't want to shout out channels
that have nothing to do with the things
that we talk about here.
A lot of you guys want to figure out how to do
a very specific thing.
You wanna either figure out how to grow your channel,
grow your career, your business.
You wanna figure out some text stub,
and why would I shout out a channel that has
nothing to do with what you come to me for?
So I just don't feel comfortable with that,
not even for money.
Especially not for money.
With that in mind, there is a right way
and a very tactical, very good way
to get exposure in Youtube and get discovered.
Most people think that ranking on the first page
of Youtube is a matter of having a huge subscriber count,
or a ton of views.
Well, let's take a look at some examples
of why that's not true.
And so you can see that, well,
even without a ton of subscribers,
even without a ton of videos, even without a ton of views,
it is entirely possible to rank on the first page of Youtube
above Youtubers with huge subscriber counts
and huge view counts.
So what's allowing people to do that?
Youtube is a search engine, more than anything,
Youtube is a search engine.
It's the second largest search engine in the world.
It's owned by the first largest search engine in the world:
Google.
Google is mama.
So with that in mind,
you need to build a ranking Youtube search.
The thing I've been talking about for the last 150 videos.
But a lot of you are confused about that.
You don't know how to do it.
You don't understand.
Well, I actually have some very
important information for you guys.
There is a tool.
There are several tools, but this is the best one,
in my opinion, that can help you do it.
And it is called Tube Buddy.
They are not sponsoring this video.
They did, however, sponsor a Youtube channel review series
that you should check out where I actually explore
other Youtube genres.
Everything from gaming to blogging to beauty channels
to tech channels and how to use this tool.
Specifically, you change your descriptions,
titles and tags and you research to grow your channel.
So if you go ahead to tubebuddy.com/awesome,
that is my affiliate link,
and go ahead and grab the Tube Buddy browser plugin,
then you can use this to do some better keyword research,
figure out titles and tags for your videos
that will be more effective so you can rank
on the top of Youtube search.
And this also helps you in the Youtube
algorithm in other ways.
It helps you for related videos.
Related videos are really important
for growing a Youtube channel.
It means that if you do a video that is relatable
or similar to other Youtubers,
then you can actually pull in some views
and subscribers from that, and that's a really good way.
That's much more reliable than a shout out, by the way.
There's no empirical evidence that
getting a Youtube shout out automatically,
for most people...
For as many people as do Youtube shout outs,
the far majority of them don't get blown up by that.
So I think that this is much more reliable.
I think this is proven,
and it's something you can do yourself.
So you're not at the mercy of anybody.
You can also see what tags other Youtubers are using
in their videos to help you understand better.
I don't recommend just copying their tags,
but you can understand better what they're doing
and why it's working.
Sometimes you'll find that someone bigger than you
actually isn't using tags very effectively,
and that you might have an advantage.
This has let small Youtubers rank above big Youtubers
in the first page, and so I would take advantage of this.
So remember, that's tubebuddy.com/awesome.
Link is in the description and in the annotation up here.
So go ahead and grab that.
The paid version is obviously better than the free version.
I'll also let you in on a quick little secret
about some big Youtube channels
and why they were able to grow fast.
It has to do with the Youtube algorithm
and how related videos and search works.
Whenever some of the Youtube reviewer channels
or some of the Youtube drama channels or news channels,
however you look at them, actually report on a big Youtuber,
well, sometimes that means that they end up getting
a video related to that Youtuber's videos,
and then that's how they get discovered
and they get attention.
That is kind of a hack that a lot of them have done
and why a lot of them have changed
whatever their original channel was
from three or four years ago,
to talking about big Youtubers,
because talking about big Youtubers is actually
one of the fastest ways to grow on Youtube.
And if you have content and titles and descriptions
and tags, they're optimized to siphon
off of those big Youtubers,
then you can also pull away a lot of the audience
and a lot of the fan base that are
interested in those people.
So, that's how people are doing it,
and that is actually how people are growing overnight.
I'm not a fan of that strategy, but it is there.
Now you know a strategy for growing on Youtube really fast.
If that's the kind of content you're into,
and now you have a tool that can help you
no matter what type of content you're doing.
Like I said, I've reviewed all kinds of channels
and that was all sponsored through Tube Buddy
for that series.
Those channels were already picked out,
so I'm not taking requests for channel reviews,
but if we ever do something in the future or a lottery,
I'll let you guys know.
Cuz I think that could be cool and we'll figure it out.
Anyway, if you have questions about growing
your Youtube channel, well, there's 150 videos
on this channel where I tell you how to do that,
and you can always ask me some questions in the comments.
The odds are, I already answered it in a video.
Anyway, like this video if you like it.
