There’s a lot that goes into a growing Youtube Channel, and there’s a lot of topics that you could go into. If you’ve been publishing content and haven’t seen the results you’d like to see, then this article is for you.
Consistency
First off, if you’re not consistent when it comes to publishing videos, then you’re not going to grow. You have to be publishing videos on a regular basis, preferably daily or weekly.
Creating a schedule and following it is key. People like to know what to expect, they like consistency. If you aren’t publishing on a regular basis, your audience isn’t going to grow.
Not only is consistency going to help you when it comes to growing your subscriber count, it’s also going to be good for building loyalty with your audience.
Last but not least the more often you do something the better you’re going to get at it.
Niche
If not that many people are into the niche you’re creating videos for, you aren’t going to see fast growing numbers. It takes time for your content to start catching on, even if it’s really good content.
There’s also the other side of the spectrum where the niche you’re in is very competitive, and you’re going to have a hard time standing out.
The best way to avoid this is by specializing within a niche. For example, if you want to create videos about exercise, get more specific and make a channel about power lifting (just an example).
Quality
If your videos are not good, they aren’t going to get views. You have to put in the work so that you deliver quality content for your audience.
More important than the video quality is the audio quality. If there’s annoying noises in the background, people are going to go to the next video. This is probably one of the biggest down falls to most channels because if people skip out on your video early watch time goes down.
The way Youtube determines who sees what videos is through an algorithm that ranks videos based on watch time, so if you have a video with more watch time, your chances of showing up on someone’s page is higher.
So even if you’re recording with an iPhone (which is ok), maybe consider investing in a mic.
Title and Description
Your title and description are where you have to hook the viewer, so it’s important that they’re good.
You have to make sure your titles are descriptive and have a clear message. If someone doesn’t know what your video is about in the first few seconds of reading the title or in the thumbnail, then most people aren’t going to take the time to check it out.
Your description should be clear and define what your video is about. The more information you put in, the better chances people will see your video because it’s important for YouTube SEO.
Misinformation
Being accurate with the information that you’re putting out is important. People can easily pick apart an argument if it’s not accurate, so you have to make sure everything is correct before publishing.
If one of the first comments of the video is someone saying the information in your video is false, this will deter people from watching the video and it will drop your watch time.
Bad Quality Thumbnails
Although you just put in a lot of hard work filming and editing your video, you need to put in the extra work to come up with a solid thumbnail.
If the thumbnail is bad then people are probably not going to even watch your video and your chances to be seen is very low.
If you’re having a hard time figuring out what to do for your thumbnails, go and find other videos around the same niche and see what thumbnails they have so you can get an idea.
You’re Not Getting Straight To The Point
Good video intros are important but make sure you get to the point quickly.
If someone sees your video for about 20-30 seconds and they still don’t know what it’s about, then chances are they’re going to leave your YouTube channel.
If you want to send traffic outside of the video or discuss something other than the video wait until the end, or put it in the description.
Your Channel Is Not Niched Down Enough
If you go back and forth between the gym videos and finance videos in your channel, you’re going to be all over the place and it’s not only confusing for your audience, but it also makes it harder for YouTube’s algorithm to determine who should see what.
You can make a finance channel and show signs that you like the gym but don’t make a finance channel and make a video on how to get bigger biceps.
You’re Not Thinking Hard Enough About Searchers Intent
YouTube is the second most used search engine, so being in the top of YouTube is important because it means all of your videos will show up when someone searches for “fitness”.
If you’re just uploading random videos without keeping track of what people are searching, chances are they’re not going to get any views. It’s really important that you know what people are searching and tailor your videos to those words.
Not knowing the difference between a high level keyword and a low level keyword is going to affect how many viewers you’re going to get as well as the quality of those viewers.
When you do find a good keyword, research is important to see if it’s even worth targeting.
How can I make my YouTube channel grow faster?
There are a few method below that you can use in order to make your channel grow.
Ads
You can use ads and promote your videos in order to get more subscribers. If you have a handful of videos that are getting you subscribers already, it may be a good idea to promote them.
Social Media
Promoting your channel and new videos on all of your social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok) is a great way to get more views.
You can take little parts of your videos as a preview and post them on all of your social media platforms.
Collaborate With Other Youtubers
This is one of the most underrated ways to grow your channel. You can form a partnership or do a “collab” video with other popular YouTube channels in the same niche.
If you want to partner up, there are many ways to contact other Youtubers so go ahead and send them messages. Make sure you have similar amounts of subscribers so you can somehow give them value as well.
