- I'm gonna share with you three things
that every YouTuber needs to know how to do,
and we're starting right now.

What is going 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
and make videos and all types of other YouTube-related stuff
hit the subscribe button and the bell notification icon
so you can be notified when I go live
to answer your YouTube questions.
Okay, so as YouTubers there's a lot
that we need to know how to do
but there are three very important things
that I see a lot of people overlooking,
so I wanted to share those with you today
so that you can know how to implement them,
know how to do them and know how to rock on.
Real quick.
If there's anything that you think YouTubers should do
that you see a lot of people overlooking,
leave it down in the comments below.
The very first thing is it's important to know
who subscribes to you,
and how to know when someone of influence
subscribes to your YouTube channel.
This is important because if someone of influence
subscribes to your YouTube channel
they'll let you know that they're into the stuff
that you're doing
or that they're at least keeping an eye on you,
so that kind of opens the door a little bit.
So, when you find out that they subscribe to your channel
that's an excellent time to reach out to them
for just to start a conversation
or for the sake of collaboration.
To do this you log into Tubular Labs.
In the navigation you're gonna see Products.
Click on that.
You'll see YouTube Dashboard, click on that,
and then sign up for an account up there, totally free.
Once you sign up go to your Account and then Settings.
If you wish you can turn on the daily summary.
What that is is basically they will send you a daily email
to let you know how your channel and your videos
are currently comparing to this time last week,
and they'll also let you know
what your top-performing videos are,
which is pretty cool.
In addition to that
after you have that notification turned on,
you're going to see four little email icons,
you wanna click on whichever one
is the level of subscriber count
you are interested in being notified about.
The next thing that you need to know how to do
is how to add an auto subscribe link
to your video subscription,
and the reason that this is important
is because a lot of people subscribe
through that link down in your subscription.
Two ways to do this.
One is to add one very long un-trackable link
to your video description.
In order to do that you just add this right here
to the end of your channel URL.
In order to get your channel URL
you just go to your channel page,
copy this, drop it into Notepad,
and then add this to it
so that you get an end link
that looks something like this,
and just to make sure you put it altogether right,
you may want to click it and test it
and make sure it works.
The other much easier trackable and very short way
to do this is through TubeBuddy.
If you do not already have a TubeBuddy account,
I have a link to them down in the description below
where you can set one up now
but once you have an account over at TubeBuddy,
this is what you do.
You log into your TubeBuddy account
and then you will see the icon for Promo tools,
you wanna make sure that you click on that.
Once you are in the Promotional Tools area
you wanna scroll down
to the Channel Page with Subscription Pop-Up Link option.
All you have to do from there
is copy and paste that link into the descriptions
of your future videos.
If you wanna make it really easy on yourself,
you can go ahead and add that link to your upload defaults
inside of your creator studio,
so that anytime you upload a video
it's gonna be the first thing that you see
inside of your upload defaults as well,
so you don't have to go and find it every time.
The reason you wanna add this to your descriptions
is because it makes subscribing your channel
that much easier,
which means that over time you're gonna get more subscribers
from it and when you first add the trackable link
to your description you're gonna notice
not a lot of people are clicking on it
but over the course of a lot of views,
over the course of a large video library,
you're gonna be shocked by the amount of people
that actually click on that link.
Another thing that's important
that a lot of people overlook
is optimizing your about page for a preview hover.
This is what I mean.
If someone searches for something
and they are not subscribed to your channel,
and they hover over your channel name
to see what's going on with your channel,
this is what they see.
So, you wanna make sure that how you layout the text
on your about page is optimized
so that they see what your channel is about
immediately right away in an instant
when they hover over your name in the search results.
This same exact thing applies
if they hover over your channel icon
or your channel name in the comments as well,
so it's really important that you optimize this.
First, to see if yours is optimized
you can actually leave a comment here in this video,
and then hover over it
and then you'll be able to exactly what other people see
when they hover over your avatar
or they hover over your name.
If you need to change it,
then simply go to your about me page on your channel
and rearrange the text
so that you put what your channel is about
and what you're offering your viewers
more towards the top so that it comes up better
in that preview hover.
If you are not already subscribed,
go ahead and hit the subscribe icon right now
so you don't miss any YouTuber video tips in the future.
Thank you so much for watching.
I'll see you next time.
