We get it, growing it from ZERO can be challenging and frustrating. All that planning and filming and editing content, and then when you finally upload it to your channel – it can be nothing.
You’re just sitting and waiting for something to happen.
Worry not!
Keep reading till the end for 5 super simple tips you can use to get more views and subscribers and grow your channel from scratch.
Let’s get going!
The worst thing you can do for your audience is pretend to be someone else. They’re there to get to know you!
If you find talking in front of the camera awkward, try practising in front of a mirror a couple of times till the awkwardness fades a little.
First impressions truly do matter! The first 15 seconds can make or break your video’s watch time.
Be personable and relatable, and make full use of those few seconds to grab the viewer’s attention and keep them hooked till the end.
Spend some time to curate tags for your video which are relevant and make your video easy to find via search engines.
Avoid keyword stuffing in your tags. More tags does not equal more views!
You may have heard this countless times before, but the main tip to growing your channel and audience is posting consistently. If you are not consistent, it’ll be very difficult to get people to subscribe to you.
If you post once in a week or even once in a month, just stick to it! Really, all you have to do is find a time that works for you and keep at it.
Engaging with your viewers is essential! You need to show them that they are being heard, so REPLY TO EVERY SINGLE COMMENT!
It’s one of the keys to YouTube success when you’re just starting out. You can also do a little market research by asking your audience what they are interested in watching and adjust your content strategy to include those topics.
Go on, now it’s time for you to be a YouTube star!
