How to get more viewers and subscribers on YouTube

Growing on YouTube isn’t just about creating good content and waiting  to see your sub count go up.

It’s also not about shamelessly posting your channel link under other people’s videos or asking them to ‘sub4sub’.

I learned from El tiro that doing sub4sub isn’t good in the longterm.

In every category here on YouTube, some people are  just starting or have the same following as you, these are the people you want to make relationships with. The biggest thing about networking is to NOT ask for anything in return. 

El Tiro

This Tips will show you how to promote your videos the right way.

  • Monitor your comments and answer people’s questions, even if they’re on older videos of yours.
  •  Getting a response can be surprising, which can make people subscribe.
  • Try to reply to comments even when the person is just saying ‘hello’ or that they like your videos.  It’s a great way to get new people to stick around
  • Visit channels of YouTubers in your genre who have a similar number of subscribers as you. Then, relax and watch some videos.
  • Connect with bloggers to help embed your videos (like I did for Ugonne Anne or you start a blog)
  • Try to watch at least 2 minutes of content on every channel you visit. 
  •  Comment thoughtfully on the videos you watch.
  • You can leave compliments or constructive criticism,  but DO NOT ask for anything.
  • No ‘sub4sub’, and no ‘check out my channel too’. 

One of the best ways to show you genuinely liked someone’s video is to include the timestamp of  your favorite part.

Conclusion,

In conclusion, it has never been easy starting, growing a YouTube channel to monetization stage.

But then, single raindrop water continuously that what makes a river.

If you want to make money on YouTube without filming

You have to start somewhere, and I have just given you the best headstart so far.
