Your YouTube channel growth is stuck or only growing slowly.
What can you do about it? In this video, you'll discover 6 ways
to immediately boost your YouTube channel growth so you can get more views and subscribers.
Number one, double down on your high-performing videos, click on Analytics in YouTube studio,
and look at the top 10 videos on YouTube channel. Study why the topic, title,
and thumbnail did so well for that specific video. Then make a similar video by approaching the topic
from a different angle. If you do this, there's a high probability that this video will also do well
and boost your YouTube channel. For example, this video titled,
"How to upload YouTube Shorts from PC," currently, it has over 362,000 views since it was published,
gained 1,800 subscribers, and estimated revenue of over $1,000. I then created a similar video
with a similar title called, "How to Make YouTube Shorts on PC," which currently has
over 4,400 views since it was published, gained 31 subscribers, and estimated revenue of over $17.
Number two, increase audience retention. YouTube says highly engaging videos are more likely to
be recommended to viewers watching similar videos on YouTube home and up next. Your
homepage is what you first see when you open up YouTube at youtube.com on your computer
or open up the YouTube app. It recommends videos based upon your personal browsing behavior.
The Up Next panel appears when you finish watching a video, it suggests additional content based upon
the content you're currently watching alongside other videos that YouTube recommends to watch.
To study the audience retention graph for a specific video, click on the engagement
tab in YouTube analytics for that video. Look at the spikes and dips on the graph.
The spikes are where you get high engagement or people are re-watching that particular
segment of the video. The dips refer to where viewers are losing interest in that particular
segment of the video content. On your next video, try to tighten up the video content.
You can do this by asking questions, adding more B-roll, transitions, graphics, zooming in,
zooming out, et cetera. This will help reset the attention of viewers and keep them engaged
throughout your video. When you upload a new video, try to improve the audience retention
for that video by 1% over your last video. Number three, use a strong hook in the first
30 seconds of your video. If you keep most of your audience engaged in the first 30 seconds
of your video, it's more likely that they'll be engaged throughout the rest of your video.
Three ways to keep your audience engaged at the beginning of your video include asking a question,
teasing about what's coming up later in the video, or telling a story with lots of B-roll.
For example, at the beginning of this video, I asked a question what makes great video title that
satisfies both searches and search engines? Number four, write better video titles.
YouTube says when a topic, title, or thumbnail of a video attracts more of the regular
viewers of your channel, it's more likely to be recommended to viewers watching similar videos
on Home, and Up Next. When you write your video title, make sure it satisfies both
the searches and the search engines. Click the link in description below on how to
write titles for YouTube that everyone loves. Number five, create a clickable thumbnail. Your
thumbnail is what viewers first see when they discover your content in the search engines.
They'll also see your thumbnail when your video is recommended on the YouTube homepage and in
suggested videos, which are the videos that appear on the right side of the watch page. It's very
important to create a clickable thumbnail that immediately grabs the attention of your viewers
so they click and watch your video. Here are some tips to create clickable
thumbnails. Your thumbnail must complement the title that you've written for your video content.
Use contrasting colors, use few words, or even no words at all. Avoid repeating your title in
your thumbnail. Use an expression on your face that exemplifies the content of your video.
According to the TubeBuddy feature, Click Magnet, faces get more clicks than no faces. Make sure
your thumbnail is viewable on a small screen. This is especially true when using text on your
thumbnail. Use a bold font and make sure it's still readable when viewed from your cell phone
because most people are using their cell phones to view your YouTube videos. Make sure your
thumbnail stands out from your competitor's thumbnails. Before you create your thumbnail,
look at the top five videos for that particular keyword phrase, then create a different thumbnail
that stands out from your competitors. Number six, change your channel trailer.
Your channel banner and channel trailer is the first thing viewers see when they visit YouTube
channel homepage. If you want to immediately boost the views for a video on YouTube channel,
edit as a channel trailer, make sure the content of your channel trailer
is relevant to the content of your channel. This will motivate first-time viewers to
become a subscriber of your channel so they can receive new content from you every week.
Your channel banner shall also encapsulate the content of your YouTube channel,
so make sure it has a strong tagline so it grabs the attention of your viewers. The purpose
of YouTube channel homepage is to motivate viewers to take a deep look at your content
and subscribe to your channel. You accomplish this by uploading or changing your channel banner,
channel trailer, and adding sections containing playlists to YouTube channel homepage.
