Make the Optimum use of Meta Tags
If you want your videos to be displayed in the YouTube search results, metadata plays a vital role. If you want to understand what meta tags you should use, go to some of the popular YouTubers’ videos and see what they have done with their meta tags. Don’t just copy, be creative.
Avoid takedowns and copyright issues
When you’re delivering content and collecting all the assets, it’s easy to fall foul of copyright rules. Whether for images, video, or music, YouTubers can risk a takedown if their content violates copyright – that’s not a great look for anyone looking to get more subscribers on YouTube.
Avoid posting selfish content
You might want to stream games, set up pranks, be a travel blogger, or something else entirely. That’s all fine, but it has to be for someone other than yourself. YouTuber and entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk talks about ‘selfish’ content and the binary functions of YouTubers: to entertain or educate.
YouTube is the second-largest search engine globally, and 65% of people use it to solve a problem. So, if you’re not educating them, you need to make sure that what you’re doing is valuable enough for people to subscribe.
Use subtitles to ensure your channel is accessible and inclusive
A key part in attracting subscribers sits with the user experience. Beyond just making it look ‘nice,’ you can lend your channel a more accessible and inclusive feel with relative ease, giving viewers the confidence to subscribe and regularly watch your content.
Directly ask viewers to subscribe
It sounds obvious, but it always helps to ask people directly to subscribe. It doesn’t need to be salesy if that’s not your style – just tell people they can sign up for all the cool content you have planned and that you have a catalog of great stuff they can check out in the meantime.
Established YouTubers will often stick to a schedule, giving subscribers something to look forward to. It’s good practice to get this up and running as soon as you can, as the YouTube algorithm doesn’t tend to work its magic until you have around 35 videos in the bank.
Naturally, you still need to prioritize quality over quantity. If you set yourself a target of one video per week, which then becomes unachievable, then that’s fine. Just make sure you let your viewers know what the deal is.
Make sure to reply to everyone
It’s always good to reply to viewers’ questions, compliments, and criticisms – no matter how popular your channel becomes.
YouTube’s own internal data clearly states that encouraging audience participation can result in a larger fanbase; make this a habit as soon as you begin, and keep it up. Viewers who feel they’re listened to and valued by a creator will be more likely to subscribe.
Do your keyword research for titles, descriptions, and hashtags
Understanding YouTube SEO and knowing which keywords related to your subject matter people are looking up on YouTube will help you title your new videos and choose the right hashtags. But it might also lend inspiration for your next video topic.
Similar to platforms like Facebook and Twitter, YouTube also allows for video targeting based on interest, demographics, and/or in-market audiences
Invest in YouTube Advertising
The time has come to take your wallet out. You didn’t think all of these tips would be free of charge, did you?
Take a deep breath, I’m not asking you to shell out too much cash, but putting some budget behind promoting your YouTube channel is a pretty full-proof way of increasing your subscription base. The internet is a crowded space, and money talks, so it’s important to invest some of your marketing budget behind your channel.
YouTube makes advertising your channel very customizable with a variety of ad formats, including:
Skippable and non-skippable video ads
