Introduction
Hello, fellow creators! Today we’re going to talk about how to increase your YouTube views, subscribers, and engagement. Don’t worry if you’re just starting out—I’ll share the best practices for beginners as well as advanced content creators. By the time you finish reading this post, you’ll have an actionable game plan that will help you gain more exposure on YouTube. Let’s get started!
Make your videos at least 5 minutes long
The longer your video, the more time you have to engage your audience. The longer your video, the more time you have to build a connection with your audience. The longer your video, the more time you have to build a relationship with your audience.
This is what it comes down to: if someone spends five minutes watching one of your videos and likes it enough to subscribe, they’re much more likely to watch another one than someone who only watched for 2 minutes and then decided that was enough for them!
As far as I know (and I could be wrong), there’s not really any limit on how long or short a YouTube video can be—but as with everything else in life, “less is more” applies here too.
Include a call to action in your video
A call to action (CTA) is a prompt that encourages viewers to take some kind of action. There are many different types of calls-to-action, and each one can be used for different purposes.
The simplest type of CTA is a written statement that appears at the bottom or top of the video, such as “Click here to learn more” or “Subscribe now.” You can also include links in your video description so people who want more information on a topic can easily find it on your channel page.
If you want viewers to subscribe, create an enticing thumbnail image for the video—something eye-catching and relevant that makes people want to click play immediately! And make sure there’s only one CTA per video: if there are multiple CTAs competing for attention, viewers may get confused about which one they should follow (and probably won’t do either).
Partner with other creators
- Partner with another creator. You can do this by becoming friends with the right people, or contacting them directly if you prefer to keep your followers separate. Find other creators who have an audience that is similar to yours, as well as those whose audiences are quite different from yours. Doing this will allow you to reach a wider audience and get more views on your videos, which will help boost your overall channel growth in the long run.
- Make sure that all of the content creators you partner with are credible in some way—otherwise it could damage everything else about your brand!
Ask viewers to subscribe at the beginning of your video
A call to action is exactly what it sounds like—a way of telling viewers what you want them to do. It can be as simple as asking for a thumbs-up or a video thumbs-down, or as complicated as asking people to subscribe, donate money, or sign up for your mailing list.
In order for a call to action (CTA) to work properly, there needs to be some kind of incentive in place: if the viewer isn’t rewarded for their action (subscribing), they won’t feel motivated enough to take that step. You want someone who watches one of your videos on YouTube and then decides they want more information about whatever topic it was about; however, if they don’t realize exactly how much more information is available after watching just this one video–or worse yet never even get started at all–then chances are good that person will simply click away without giving any thought toward subscribing or otherwise taking further interest in what you have going on here online!
Use Keywords and Tags
One of the best ways to increase the number of views on your video is to use relevant keywords and tags. The more specific they are, the better, as it will help YouTube find your video among its billions of other titles.
When choosing a keyword or tag, think of what people would search for if they were looking for something like yours. If you’re making a video about how to crochet an owl hat, then “crochet” is probably a good keyword for that. But if your topic is more general—say, how to make hats in general—then other words like “knit” or “knitting” might be better options that don’t narrow down your audience as much but still get them interested in what you have to offer!
Create an eye-catching thumbnail
A lot of people pay close attention to the thumbnail of a YouTube video before deciding whether or not to watch it. If your thumbnail doesn’t look good, you could be losing out on a lot of views and subscribers.
Here are some tips for creating an eye-catching thumbnail:
- Make sure it’s relevant. The thumbnail should match the content in the video so that people will know what they’re getting into when they click play.
- Make it clear and easy to read from far away (without zooming). You want viewers to know what they’re seeing as soon as they see it, so don’t use blurry or small images; keep things simple and uncluttered; make sure text is readable at any size; use contrasting colors; etcetera, etcetera!
- Make sure there aren’t any misleading elements like overly sexualized women in low-cut tops or guns pointing at someone’s head—these may attract views but will probably get your channel flagged for inappropriate content over time because YouTube wants its users to be safe! That being said…
- Create something interesting enough that users will want more after watching one video–but don’t think too hard about how far you’ll go because nobody likes those kinds anymore anyway…
Add a transcript to the video’s description
Adding a transcript to your video’s description is another easy way to get more views. This works well if you’re creating content in a language that isn’t English and want people who don’t understand it to be able to benefit from what you have created on YouTube.
Also, if someone is visually impaired or doesn’t want to watch your videos, adding transcripts allows them access the information from within their own device (smartphone or tablet) without having to watch the entire video. Finally, if someone wants to share your information with others who may not be interested in watching videos themselves (for example: coworkers), this can help make it easier for them!
Create consistent content
To get more YouTube views, you need to upload frequent content. The more videos you post, the more likely you’ll be able to reach a wide audience.
There are many ways to define what “frequent content” means. Most experts say you should upload at least once a week, but if your schedule allows for it and your niche can support it, uploading daily is even better! If that isn’t possible (or desirable), then try aiming for at least one video every month or even every year.
Keep in mind that not all types of videos should be posted with the same frequency as others—for example: if there’s only one thing I learned from watching millions of hours on YouTube over the past decade…it’s that no matter how much effort goes into making something original & amazing—there will always be someone who thinks they can do it better!
Buying YouTube views and likes is the best way to get your videos to perform well on YouTube, and therefore improve their overall rankings.
Buying YouTube likes and views can boost your channel’s overall visibility, improve your videos’ performance, increase your chances of being featured on YouTube’s home page.
Pay attention to your analytics
YouTube analytics is the perfect tool to help you see what content is performing well and what is not. Analytics can help you determine which videos have been watched the most, as well as how many views each video has received.
Additionally, YouTube analytics can tell you which viewers are watching your content, sharing it on social media or subscribing to your channel—and even which viewers are commenting on specific videos. This kind of information will give you a better idea of what type of content attracts larger audiences and why some videos don’t generate much interest from viewers.
The best way to get more YouTube views is by optimizing every part of your channel according to best practices.
The best way to get more YouTube views is by optimizing every part of your channel according to best practices. This means that you need to study other successful channels and see what they are doing right, before creating your own strategy. You can then put this strategy into action by continuously testing new methods until you find one that works for you.
YouTube analytics provides useful information about how people interact with your videos and can show you where the bottlenecks in your marketing funnel are located.
The second most important thing when it comes to getting more views on YouTube is having interesting content; so if don’t have anything good yet – make sure that this is the first step!
If none of these methods work for you – buy YouTube views instead! That’s right: there are companies out there who will help increase your subscriber count if you buy real YouTube subscribers, views and likes…and if done correctly (with proper precautions), it will look like those subscribers were organically attracted without anyone knowing about it except their creator who might suspect something fishy going on but won’t be able to prove anything because everything looks legit from a distance which means even though something might seem suspicious at first glance due purely based off intuition alone since no one knows exactly how many real followers someone has anyway especially since some people like using bots themselves sometimes too so really there’s no way tell who does or doesn’t use them unless someone tells us directly but even then we’d still have no idea how many real followers
Conclusion
There are a lot of small things you can do to help grow your channel. But the biggest tip we can give you is this: keep creating great content that people will love. That’s what will get them to subscribe, and it’s what will make them stay subscribed.
