Build Your Subscriber Base YouTube Channel new content.....

 Build Your Subscriber Base

When it comes to growing an audience, there are a few easy

things you can do to give your channel the best chance at being successful.  

First, you’ll want to consistently work on creating a strong

backend. This means that the more video content you can

publish, the better.

Providing subscribers with a ton of content to consume will keep

them on your channel longer and will work towards facilitating

the process of converting a visitor into a loyal subscriber.

So, work on building up your library of content. This is why

creating a content schedule is so important. Decide on whether you plan to create one video a week, every other week or once a

month – the choice is yours. But keep in mind that when you’re in

the initial stages of creating a channel, you’ll need to put more

time and energy into creating more content just so your audience

has enough to engage with.

So, consider spending a few weeks (maybe even months) creating

content for your channel before you publish. That way you can

provide enough upfront to keep people engaged.

Tip: Subscribers prefer channels that provide fresh, new content

on a regular basis. You can set yourself up for long-term success

without becoming overwhelmed by creating content in batches

and then stock-piling it for future release.

That way, you’re able to take breaks in between to recharge while

still having fresh content to upload.

You should also include a direct call-to-action in both your video content itself as well as in the description. Don’t be afraid to ask

viewers to subscribe, like and turn on notifications for your channel.

 Not everyone will understand how YouTube works so  

remind them that they need to subscribe in order to be notified

when new content is available.

In addition, people like to support new channels so if you directly

ask people to subscribe, comment and like your video because it

helps your channel grow, chances are they’ll do it!

You could also end your video with a question or request for

feedback. This will encourage people to leave comments which

will signal to YouTube that your channel is growing and that it

should be shown more frequently. The more activity a channel

gets, the more often it’ll appear in search results.

You can also organize your channel’s content in order to help

people find what they’re looking for. Consider setting up playlist

style arrangements that organize your content based on topic or ...

style. Your subscribers will appreciate it and chances are they’ll

binge a lot more content if they run through video playlists.

You should also be on the lookout for ways to network and cross￾promote with other channel owners.

Give a shout-out to another channel or consider providing links in

your video content to other channels. This will get you on the

radar of established channels who may be open to networking!

Just the same, look for opportunities to be a guest on relevant channels.  

This can be done a few different ways including by collaborating

on just one video, two separate videos that are pieced together

(where you create one part of the video and someone else

creates another part of it), or by creating content exclusively for

another channel as a way of introducing your brand to their

audience while giving the creator fresh content to publish.

When it comes to reaching out to other channel creators when

looking for possible collaborations, you can easily connect with

them through their social media accounts, through email, or

directly through their video comments or blog.

Just be careful when approaching channel owners so that you’re

highlighting what’s in it for them (free content, etc.).

In addition, you should spend some time engaging with their

content, following their channel and studying what it is that they

do.

That way, when you reach out to them you can show that you’re

familiar with their content and brand and explain why you believe

a collaboration would be mutually beneficial.

Conclusion

Creating a successful YouTube channel isn’t rocket science, 

but it does require time, commitment and focus. In the early months,  

you’ll likely be creating more content than you will later, to build

up your backend inventory and cultivate a following quickly.

Later, you’ll be able to ease back and produce fewer videos with a

longer lifespan.

So, create a content schedule that you feel you can stick to.

Condition subscribers to expect content at certain times each

month as it’ll keep them coming back.

Remember, on YouTube watch time is very important. The longer

that new viewers remain engaged with your content, the more

likely they’ll turn into a subscriber and when it comes to viewer

retention, by analyzing the data that YouTube provides you, you’ll know with certainty what content is among your top performing

videos so that you can create more of them!

Plus, the longer a viewer stays engaged with your videos, the

better the chances are that they’ll interact with it – by

subscribing, commenting and liking your content.

This is where playlists come into play. By segmenting your

content, especially after you’ve uploaded a large amount, you’ll

be able to keep people glued to your channel longer as they

consume the different available playlists.

Finally, make sure you focus on optimization as part of your

weekly business plan. You want to ensure that every title includes

relevant keywords to boost visibility.

Remember to add keywords into video descriptions, avoiding

duplicates! Make the space count. 

And finally, always look for ways to create off-site (external) links.

One of the easiest ways to do this is by auto-syncing your

YouTube channel with your other social media accounts, such as

twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

That way every time you post new content, it will automatically

appear on all your social media profiles. These social signals are

important when it comes to maximizing exposure and successfully

growing a channel.
