i want to personally thank all of my
subscribers for your support
in helping me reach the magic 1000
subscriber mark
so to show my appreciation i've randomly
selected one of my recent subscribers
to who i'm offering a free 30-minute
coaching call overzoom
to discuss anything about video
production and that person is
drumroll mary kravitz well done mary and
if you're watching
please pm me on any of my social media
channels
so we can arrange this call i want to
now briefly share some top points for my
recent fast
channel growth 2 1000 subs a quick
history of my channel first though
since 2011 i'd been using my channel
solely to house the videos i produce for
my clients
promotional videos and product demos
event videos
this was not necessarily content that
people like you were specifically
searching for
or would even be relevant to you
nevertheless my channel grew organically
to 400 subscribers over time without any
specific effort from me
as you can see though at the end of
march this year my numbers jumped
dramatically
that is because i made a conscious
decision to begin
teaching about video and video related
tools
hence the birth of level up your video
skills
now a quick multiple choice question
from me to you are you on this channel
to
a learn about how to get better with
video in general
or b growing a youtube channel of your
own
or c some other reason i'd love to know
so please leave
either a b or c in the comments below
so in under five months i've been able
to grow from 400
to 1000 subscribers and my rate of
growth is steadily increasing each month
this was a deliberate and calculated
strategy for me
and upon reflection my top 10 points for
making this happen
were number one deciding on a niche area
that i would focus on
and in this case tutorials for video and
video related tools
number two creating videos that leverage
my experience and knowledge to help
people find answers to the questions
they are asking
three related to this using google
trends to find out what people were
searching for
this helped me decide which videos to
create
four watching a lot of different youtube
channels that teach people how to grow
your channel
i farm the best advice from many
channels over heaps of videos
and implemented them as i learn them 5.
using a youtube seo tool such as video
iq
or tubebuddy i personally use and love
vid iq
it gives me actionable and measurable
items each time i post a video
to give it its best chance of success 6.
creating clean and nice looking
thumbnails as well as a clear video
title
and detailed description of the video
this is key in helping people find
your videos seven posting regularly guys
i aim to post each week but this
sometimes slips out to
seven or ten days or so but the key here
for me was
consistency eight sharing videos through
my network friends family and social
media
this helps give a video a boost in views
early
9. engaging with my community i
personally reply to every comment that
is posted on
any of my videos and this hopefully
demonstrates to people
that i really am here to help and lastly
10
having a person to hold me accountable
in my case that's my best mate
kirk we chat weekly about each other's
goals in life
and he's helped me keep up with my
motivation and consistency of posting
videos
so shout out to you kirk thank you it's
also nice to have that special someone
in your life
to be your number one fan
well there you go that's my short
summary of my recent growth
in the future i plan to go into these
tips in more details
so leave a comment below as to which of
these 10 you'd like me to make a video
on
and i can even give you a shout out when
i make that video
guys thanks again for your support i'm
very happy and excited to have reached
this point
and to celebrate my success and grow
further for you
i have decided to convert my granny flat
into a new
dedicated youtube filming studio i'll be
developing this over the coming weeks
and months so please check in on my
socials
to see its progress and i'll see you in
the next video
