- At the time of this video,
I have over 250,000 subscribers.
I've gained almost 200,000 subscribers
just in the last 12 months.
So I'm gonna tell you how you can
grow your YouTube channel fast as well.
And we're starting right now.
(hip-hop music)
First, I wanna give a shout out to the Nimminati,
you have made this whole YouTube thing
just an awesome experience for me.
And I just wanna let you know
that you're appreciated and I thank you
for being a part of this community.
And with that said,
right before we get into the tips,
really quick I would also like to know
how long you have been watching my videos for.
Let me know down in the comments, I'm just curious.
And if you're new,
just say "new" so I can welcome you
to the Nimminati.
Okay, so the first thing that I did is,
of course I made videos that you want to watch.
My particular audience, the people that are watching
this video right now, you like to watch
live-streaming videos, you like to watch mobile videos,
you like to watch live streams,
you like to watch tips on how to grow your channel,
how to get views, that sort of thing.
And because of that, that's the kind of content
that I make the most.
So on your channel,
you should go through your analytics
and say, "okay, well, what am I putting out
"that people are really responding to?
"And how can I put that content out more?"
Next up on the list is consistency.
Over the last 12 months, I've just been
crazy consistent with my content.
I've had a couple of times, maybe three or four times,
where I've missed an upload
or I've had to miss a live stream
because I've been out of town or something like that,
but for the most part, I've been extremely consistent
over the last 12 months.
And this is why that's important.
When two videos are uploaded a week,
plus my live stream,
that's three times a week and it's all spaced out
over the course of the week.
When I upload that content on a regular basis,
what happens is I'm constantly in the minds, so to speak,
of you, the people that are watching my videos.
And I'm your mind because YouTube keeps putting me
on your homepage.
YouTube keeps putting me in your subscription feed.
YouTube keeps suggesting me to you when I upload a new video
because I constantly have new videos coming out.
And because I constantly have videos coming out
that you respond to
YouTube is constantly putting me out there
on all these different places around the platform
letting people know that I have new content.
And here's the thing.
If you have a channel right now
that is working, in terms of hey, I'm getting views,
views are coming in, my retention's good,
my click-through rate is good,
people are engaging in my content,
the more content that you start putting out,
the better off that you're gonna be
because if people are responding to it,
then you're putting out all of this good content
that people are responding to,
which in turn, is gonna cause YouTube to send
more and more people to you
with the more the more content that you keep putting out.
I'm not the best at math,
but I can tell you: a lot more videos equals
a lot more chances of people seeing those videos,
a lot more chances of their recommendations
and a lot more chances of potential videos
doing a lot better than other videos.
So being consistent and uploading on a regular basis
has been really beneficial for me
and it can be for you as well.
Another thing that can help you grow really fast on YouTube
is making sure that the content that you're putting out,
all aspects of your content,
the background that you're using,
how you're presenting the content,
how things look, how things sound, the music
that you're using,
and even the language that you use,
making sure that all of it resonates
with the audience that you're trying to reach.
That target demographic of people that you're trying
to get in front of, making sure that every aspect
of the content that you're creating,
is something that will resonate with the people
that you're wanting to reach.
Like on my channel,
one of the thing that's helped me, in my opinion,
is that I make my content in a way
that other creatives can enjoy.
I try to make it look a certain way,
try to make the colors pop,
I try to do some fun and creative stuff from time to time,
just to remind myself and other people
that in addition to making talking head videos,
that I'm also a creative as well.
(high energy dance music)
(ball crashing)
(ball rumbling)
(ball crashing into pins)
I mean at the very least, I try to make a boring image
look relatively cool, so that you'll dig it.
The next thing that has really helped
is just continuing to educate myself
on all of this stuff.
In terms of the algorithm and making sure that I go through
the YouTube Creator Academy on a regular basis.
I'm going through the process of getting YouTube certified,
you know, of course that was helpful.
Watching the content that other creators are putting out
and seeing what things that they're doing on their channels
that are working and things that they're doing
that are not working,
and just kinda keeping track of what's going on,
that's been really helpful and educational
because you get to see through other people's experiments,
the things that do and do not work,
that you should and shouldn't try to apply on your channel.
And the important thing about educational yourself,
in my opinion,
is that YouTube is constantly changing.
So it's important that as YouTube,
and social media, the whole landscape,
as video and all that stuff,
as it's all morphing, it's important that we all
constantly educate ourselves so that we can stay up
with the changes that are taking place.
I mean, that's how you win, right?
You learn what works and you keep doing that
and you keep educating yourself to make sure
that what you're doing is going to continue to work.
Another thing that's been extremely helpful for me
on my channel and it can be for you on yours as well
is that making sure that every piece of content
that you put out adds value to other people in some way.
If you go back to my 10,000 subscriber milestone video,
and actually, if you watch all of my milestone videos,
I'll put links to some of 'em down in the description,
but if you watch my milestone videos,
you'll see the common theme that ripples through all of 'em
is be consistent, add value to other people, care,
connect with your audience,
try to meet your audience where they're at.
And I know it sounds kind of like new age-y,
saying hey, add value and all of that,
but really at the end of the day
adding value to other people is, in my opinion,
that's the best way to win.
But here's the thing.
Growing on YouTube is not rocket science.
Yes there are things that you can do
to make things go faster.
Yes there are things that you can do
to connect with your audience on a deeper level.
Yes there are things that you can might be overlooking
right now on your channel.
But if you're not growing as fast as you would like
right now, be patient, hang in there.
You can do this.
And in all honesty, it may take you a while
to get to where you want to be.
You know, it might take you a year, two years,
or maybe even longer.
Or six months from now, you might just blow past
all of your wildest expectations
for what you're able to accomplish
here on the platform.
Or in social media or video in general,
because this whole space is just getting bigger
and it's just getting more powerful
and more opportunities are just pouring
from video content,
so being able to tap into that
and being able to just stay the course,
is extremely important.
And I know that sometimes
it gets discouraging.
I know that sometimes it gets overwhelming
and I know sometimes you might look at the numbers.
You know, you might have a friend of yours
or you might have somebody that you're competing against
where you say, "Oh, there'd doing so much better than I am,
"what's going on, what am I doing wrong?"
It might not be that you're doing something wrong,
it might just be that there hasn't been enough time yet,
maybe you haven't put out enough videos yet.
Maybe you just haven't done enough yet
in order to get everything working in your favor.
And that's where educating yourself
at the very least going through
the YouTube Creator Academy
is extremely important.
Because just like anything else,
you need to arm yourself with the information
so that you can approach this whole thing properly.
And just like anything else,
the more that you know,
the more that you're able to identify when you see it,
when you're creating it,
the more that you're able to identify in that process,
the better off that you're gonna be.
