- I'm gonna tell you the secrets
to how to get subscribers on YouTube
and we're startin' right now.
(rap music)
What is goin' on?
My name is Nick, welcome to another video.
If this is your first time here
and you wanna learn how to grow your channel,
make videos and all types of other YouTube related stuff,
start now by subscribing and clicking the bell,
so you don't miss anything.
Okay, the very first thing that I have for you,
and if you are a regular viewer
you're going to be very familiar with this,
it's to embed yourself in the communities
around your niche.
I'm not talking about just going on Facebook
and posting links to your videos.
I'm not talking about even posting your content at all.
What I'm talking about is basically going
into the communities that are around your niche
and getting to know people.
That's right folks, people are one
of the secrets behind subscribers.
Because when you actually get to know people,
not only are those people more likely
to come in and subscribe to your channel,
but they're also more likely to work with you
via collaboration, via promotion, or whatever.
Which is, in turn, going to end up bringing you
more subscribers in the long run.
It's the same concept as good old-fashioned,
real world, face-to-face networking.
Oh my god, does that mean I have to talk to people?
Just because it's on the internet
does not mean that it's not effective.
It's actually more effective because you can communicate
with a lot more people in a lot less time.
Which, in turn, can reap some pretty cool results.
You get opportunities to be on podcasts
and articles on other people's YouTube channels.
All types of cool stuff.
And all of that stuff, one person at a time,
is gonna draw in more subscribers to your channel.
Numero dos, is consistent uploads.
It's really important these days
that you are uploading consistently.
You wanna be inside the viewer histories
of as many people as you possibly can.
Being consistent also helps your channel be more successful.
Because when people actually land on your channel page
and are looking to see what type of content you have,
they also see that you're uploading on a regular basis,
which means you're worth subscribing to.
And consistent uploads, at the end of the day,
also, ultimately leads to more content being on YouTube.
Which is more chances for discovery,
more chances of your videos showing up in Google
and in YouTube and gettin' shared and all that good stuff.
Which will, in the long run, bring you more subscribers.
Number three, your channel page
also has to be subscribeable.
Wait, if you're a regular viewer, don't leave yet,
because I know I say this one all the time,
but I just wanna hammer the idea home really quick.
And to learn how to make your channel subscribeable,
go check out one of my livestreams.
Because I hammer this one in my livestreams.
I'll actually put a link to one of my livestreams
in the comments down below.
Number four, watch time is key.
If you're getting people onto your videos,
you wanna make sure that you're pulling them
through your content.
You wanna make sure that you're getting a decent amount
of average view duration on every single person
that watches your videos.
The more watch time you have, of course,
is going to build more authority on your channel,
but more so, the reason that I'm really trying
to stress this one is because if you can't
keep people watching, they're not gonna subscribe.
So it's really important that you learn the process
and the practices to keep people watching
for longer periods of time.
I have some overall watch-time tricks.
I'll actually put a link to it right here in this card.
So if you're interested in learning different things
that you can do as far as increasing
your overall watch-time on your channel,
make sure that you go and check that out.
I forget what number we're on,
so we're just gonna call this one the next one.
But here on the next one,
basically you wanna share your content
everywhere that you possibly can,
every single time that you upload a video.
Youtube puts all of those little social media icons
underneath your video for a reason, use 'em.
Once you get to a subscriber base that you're happy with
and you start gettin' complacent and comfortable and lazy,
then you don't have to share it as much,
but for now, if you're trying
to get as many views as possible,
so that you can get more people coming into your channel,
so that they can subscribe, make sure that you're sharing it
everywhere you possibly can.
As a side note, there's also one down there for bloggers.
So if you really wanna go hard on this,
write a post out, embed your video.
Also hop on Medium.com and places like that,
write posts out, embed your video, and so on.
Rinse, repeat, until you get your content out there,
distribute it as much as you possibly can.
And you literally exhaust all avenues
for sharing your content.
Next up is to make content that people care about.
We all watch videos for selfish reasons.
We wanna learn something, we wanna be inspired
to go do something, we wanna laugh.
Fill those needs.
The more that you fill those needs,
the bigger connection that you're gonna have
with the people that watch your videos,
and the more subscribers you're gonna get.
Here's a power tip.
If you're making content and you're presenting your channel
for the people that watch your videos,
your viewers will respond by subscribing to your channel.
Presenting your channel for the people
that watch your videos also includes making channel art
that is focused on the viewer benefit
instead of just puttin' a big logo up there
or somethin' like that.
Now, in addition to this, I recently made a video
about how to improve your channel to get more subscribers.
I'm gonna go ahead and link to that right here.
So go ahead and click on that right now
so that you can go watch that video, so you learn better
how you can optimize your channel for subscribers.
And if you wanna learn how to grow your channel, make videos
and all types of other YouTube related stuff,
start now by hitting the round subscribe icon
so you don't miss anything.
Thank you so much for watching.
I'll see you next time.
