If I could invent a time machine and go back to when I was just
starting on YouTube. Here's what I would do each day for the next
seven days to get my first 50 subscribers in just that one
week. First, I would say what's up everybody, my name is
Jonathan and welcome to my channel where I talk about
growing online and growing your income. If that sounds good to
you then why not subscribe so that you don't miss any videos
like this one. Now there's a whole lot of videos on YouTube
about how to get 100,000 subscribers 10,000 subscribers,
even 100 subscribers, which I don't understand why. Because
when somebody has zero subscribers. The first milestone
is not 100 subscribers. It's 50 subscribers. And a lot of times
the people that make videos like that. They have way more
subscribers than they're talking about. So often times, I find it
a little bit unrelatable. On the other hand, I just recently
passed the 50 subscriber mark. So who better to share their
thoughts on this topic than me, so you'll be pleased to know
that this information is fresh. If you're excited about this
video on getting your first 50 subscribers then hit the like
button below so that we can send some of the right signals to the
YouTube algorithm, letting them know that people are interested
in getting the first 50 subscribers, and that they
should visit my channel, a little bit more often, let's get
into the video. So instead of mentioning the different tips,
all of the different steps, how would I discuss what I would do
on each day for that week starting from day one, sounds
good day one, first thing that I would do,
is to have a
cup of coffee, because there's going to be a long the actual
have decaf because I'm trying to reduce the amount of coffee.
Anyway, after that, I would pick a strategy, there are many
different tactics that you can try in terms of your videos. But
what I found is that it really comes down to two tactics, which
is number one ranking in search. And number two, trying to help
on that trending machine, not a real machine Trending videos, a
lot of people do it, it's when I'm popular video comes out gets
a lot of views and a lot of shares and to get a piece of
that action, I get some views from that you make a video
related to that, which really has to be in the right timing
though with, of course, good content. And the truth is, when
you're brand new youtuber with zero subscribers, the chances of
your video getting picked up in the recommended videos and
getting a lot of views and subscribers is pretty slim. And
it's kind of a gamble to do that. I mean it happened, but it
didn't happen to me, I tried it with a few of my videos I think
I didn't correct, but if you really think about it, there's a
whole bunch of youtubers making videos to try and get their
videos to go viral from tapping into Trending videos. Most of
those YouTubers have over 1000 subscribers over 10,000
subscribers and most likely they will get those views, before you
when somebody searches for those terms, or videos show up and
recommended, they're most likely going to click those videos
instead of yours, as I said, chances are pretty slim, it's
not impossible, but if I had to do it over again, I wouldn't
bother with that too much, at least for the first 50
subscribers, which is what we're talking about, what I would
focus on is ranking in search, because when I look back at the
videos that I really put an effort trying to rank on, I
still rank in the top three for those videos, and it's those few
videos that really helped me to move the needle so on day one,
I'll decide that I'm putting all of my effort in making videos to
rank in search what kind of systems that I might try to run
for, should I even attempt to run for it, I can tell you what
kind I'm not going to attempt broad suits to like if I was to
use this video as an example to Tim's subscribers. I won't even
bother trying to rank for that one, or even get subscribers,
because there'll be millions upon millions of results of
videos that I would have to compete with those people
ranking in the top 1020 or even 30 results, probably has
hundreds of 1000s of subscribers already, or maybe even millions.
So what I would decide to focus on is longtail keywords, using
this video as an example again, the broad keyword would be get
subscribers, and I'm going to make it a longtail keyword. My
not only adding how to in front will how to get subscribers, but
how to get 50 subscribers, so it's a little bit more specific
making it longtail. Next up, I'd start doing some research,
research on the main topic that I wanted to start this YouTube
channel around. When I say that I mean searching for the broad
topic like growing on YouTube, checking on what is the set of
results, actually going into those videos and listening to
them, hearing the voice, getting ideas seen if I disagree or
agree with the content, making notes for ideas of videos that I
could be creating an important part of research would be to
find what gaps that I could fill, you should be able to come
up with those ideas, since you're supposed to be somewhat
of the expert. He's supposed to be knowledgeable enough in that
topic, or at least interested, but if you can do that Google
could do that for you when you type something like, how to
suggestions come up, and those suggestions are not what YouTube
thinks you want to see, but it's actually what people are already
searching for. So take note of those things. If you hit Search
and there's not a whole lot of exact match results in the top
results, meaning there are no titles that says the same things
what you were actually searching for for actually addresses what
you search for. Then there's a gap that you could fill, there's
a good chance that somebody who is actually searching, have a
video on like, how to get 50 subscribers in the first week on
YouTube. They should most likely choose this video, since it says
so in the title is what the video is about. Remember not to
spend too much time little on getting lost in the research
fees. Try and just snap out of it and choose a video to create
right before you do that, use that narrow lowest possible
video ideas that you've been putting together with those
longtail keywords you want to run them through to buddy
keyword Explorer. If you don't know about it. It's an amazing
keyword tool that you can use to find out which one of those
keywords has the least competition, and the most search
volume, the least competition basically means videos with
limited results search results with a low number of videos and
search results by having enough search volume to make it worth
targeting no every niche is a little bit different in terms of
what's the average amount of videos that would show up for a
specific topic,
but typically as a new YouTuber, it will be better to tackle a
keyword that has 100,000 or less videos in the search results. So
based on the outcome of that exercise, you should know which
videos seem to be more desirable to try my simple advice on how
to finally decide on a video is this, let's say you have three
videos that has a low competition and good enough
search volume, just choose one that you instantly feel a desire
to work on the one that you're probably more knowledgeable
about the one that you're most interested in because your first
video is never the easiest thing to get through. I don't mind
certainly was not so by the end of day one, you know, which
video you're going to work on, since you did a lot of research
and leading up to that, which is a whole lot better of standing a
good chance than just trying to get a video to go viral. The
first thing I'll do on day two, is to create an outline of my
video, I think it's what you should do too, and make a list
of all of the main areas that I would want to cover in that
video, of course, all of them contribute to a specific
outcome. So all of the points should have sub points to each
one so as to expand on the content. The reason for this is
that it's specific specific enough that when I'm recording
the video. I'm not fishing for information, I know exactly what
I'm going to be talking about in each point of the video, and
there's a next reason why we want to outline this, because in
the second half of day two, we're going to use it, but not
to create the video yet, but more on that in a little bit, so
make sure your outline is clear, and to the point. So the second
half of the day, what you want to do is to create some buzz.
Some create some buzz from people that you can rely on to
get that initial surge of traffic when you do create a
video while you do that. So there's a bunch of ways that you
can try. But what I found is a best or one of the best
strategies is by engaging and relevant Facebook groups to run
a search on Facebook on your topic and filter by groups, join
a couple of those groups and start engaging by answering
questions and creating posts, so that you can start becoming a
little bit more than that. So when I created that video and
posted it, stating that I wanted to share some valuable
information based on my experience. It was really
welcomed. So I had targeted viewers, or the launch of my
video that came in from Facebook, and the reason why I
say, you can focus on that on the second half of the day,
alone, is because it's going to take some time and you want to
do this in more than one group, try it in a few of the groups, a
few of the relevant groups, day three, create content that is
all that we're going to focus on this day, because the truth is,
you can try all of the different tricks clickbait and all the
different nice strategies to get somebody to look at your video,
but if you don't actually have good content that now that
really matters. And while your first video may not be your best
video, it's still going to set the piece of what other videos
are going to be like what you want is for when somebody looks
at the video I want them to think this guy has potential I
can see myself looking at more of his videos so that you can so
that they can hit subscribe. Do you feel like that you could do
that right now, so that you don't miss any videos like this
one. Okay, let's continue. So using your detailed outline that
you worked on so hard yesterday. No, we're going to record it to
the, make sure and grab people's attention at the beginning of
the video by either showing them some really good part in the
video, or letting them know what the video is going to be about,
then go through all of the points that you outline, and
don't forget to leave out all of the fluff. Unless it's good
fluff stuff, good stuff and try to keep in mind, all the videos
that you saw in the top results for this specific situation that
you're making this video about, because you want to make sure
that your video is better than all of them. I know it's easier
said than done, but is the truth, or at least have a
perspective that is a little bit different from what everybody
else is talking about so that your video is unique. When you
finish creating that video be sure to optimize around that
keyword by placing it in your tags in your description, and in
the front of your title. I found what works well is having a
thumbnail. With just a few words that really catches the
attention so that it would entice somebody to just simply
click the video. The idea is that it tells them what your
video is about, and gets them excited to check it out at the
same time, I think my video on get 10 subscribers every day,
kind of does that, because after searching for get 10 subscribers
every day, and somebody glances at those exact words in the
thumbnail, then there is no need to even look at the title, I
would have already clicked the video. So you would wrap up d3
by scheduling that video, to go live for a specific time on the
next day stuff is getting exciting right. Are you excited.
I'm excited. You can ask my wife. This is me, automated at
level 100 is a bit much. Right, I know. I got all come down.
A few moments later,
the fall, so you remember all that buzz you created. I think
it was on the to know you want to go back to those Facebook
groups that you are creating posts in because you're creating
a post, Teddy are not just any posts, you're creating a post
that's letting the people in the group know that you wanted to
add even more value. So you created a video. Let's say it's
a beginner's guide to get something done and it's based on
your personal experience on what you learned, and from just
simply getting started, and that you thought it would be useful
to share this with them, that's just an example, be sure to let
them know they had any questions to let you know, we think about
Facebook groups is that when somebody comments or response
that action keeps it higher in the newsfeed so that way you can
get more traction on your post. The last thing that I would do
in that post is PC the YouTube link so that it automatically
generates the thumbnail to entice them even further. Now
there are many different things that you can do to promote your
first video while trying to get that first 50 subscribers.
However, looking back at all the different things that I tried,
and what I've seen people do. I find that these methods works
best. And it's exactly what I would do if I was starting back
from zero. So right after my video went live after I did
those posts on Facebook, what I would do next is check out
bigger YouTube channels or bigger YouTubers, just launched
a video. I look at the full video and leave a genuine
comment, giving some feedback on something that really resonated
with me. Maybe there's something that you want to ask further,
make sure you do that, and timing is everything here,
because a lot of times people go on to those big channels as
their new video goes live. And they go straight to the comment
section. I don't know why it's just something that I see people
do. Then again, I don't really see them doing it on my channel.
Why do you think that is, let me know in the comments below. Ah.
So as I was saying, when you're an early commenter commentator
commenter commentator, there's a good chance of somebody liking
your comment responding to your comment. Clicking on him
checking on what your channel is about. I want perfect timing for
them to do that when you just launched your video know if your
video was related to the video on the bigger channel now they
will actually subscribe to, then that increases the chance of
them subscribing to you as well. The reason why only focusing on
engagement and self promotion today is because everything you
did on that big YouTube channel. You want to repeat that for
several other videos on all the channels that posted as well.
Now if you do this right there's a pretty good chance that you
can get several subscribers on your first day of launch in your
first video, maybe even close to that 50 no if you didn't reach
those 50 subscribers yet, that's okay, because we're only on the
fourth define you make another video repeating everything that
we spoke about choosing the next video title, choosing the
thumbnail, creating that content and making it exceptional. And
that's it for the five D six promoting that next video,
you're going to be promoting and using just those two strategies
that we did, going back into the relevant Facebook groups,
commenting, sharing the video, and the next big strategy,
leaving valuable comments on bigger channels. What if you
don't get 50 subscribers after that, then you rinse and repeat
again, because I'll be lying if I told you that it was a walk in
the park and not a hustle. It is a hustle, but you'd be hustling
be smarter, because everything that you would be doing works. I
know it seems like a lot of work but it's only one week one week
to get that initial surge of subscribers, and finally on day
seven. You can relax and celebrate the progress progress
that you've made. And maybe share this video with your
entire social network, because you just loved it so much. So
there you have it exactly what I would do for this full seven
days on my YouTube channel. If I was starting over from scratch.
I can't guarantee that you're gonna hit 50 subscribers, just
like that. But what I can guarantee is that if you follow
these steps, you get really, really good results, and you'll
be motivated to push through and continue making content and
working on your channel. Now I want to ask you, do you know any
new youtubers right now who are struggling to grow their
channel, if you thought this was useful then why not share it
with them so that we all can grow together. And if you like
this video and want to see a video about how you can get to
your first 100 subscribers. And how about you subscribe if you
didn't do so already, so that I can get to my first 100
subscribers, and then I can make a video about that, and a few
other tricks that I didn't tell you about as yet. Oh, if you
want to find out a little bit more information about how you
can rank your videos on the first speech, as a new YouTuber,
then you're going to want to check out this video next while
talking way more detail on how you can get that done. So check
it out over there. See you at 100, subscribers.
