So, you came here because you’ve created a YouTube channel and you’re not getting the views or subscribers you should. Well, you’ve come to the right place. Depending on your video content you can grow your YouTube channel by promoting pretty much everywhere. If your aim is to gain more popularity, get more views and likes then here are some useful tips below.

First if you haven’t already done so, start with your YouTube account and make it SEO friendly. What does this mean? Pay attention to your tags and videos. They actually work. Choose eye catching titles for your videos, they should match the description of your video content. Additionally, always add a call-to-action both in your video and in the description box.

Social media should be your best-friend. Share your videos on various social media and be sure you are adding the correct tags, texts, descriptions etc. One important point I’d like to mention is to remember not to share them randomly, but do that keeping in mind your niche. That means, if your video is connected with mobile apps, you can find a Facebook group related to this topic and share your video there. In doing so you target the right audience.

If you have a website or blog, then surely you should add the video on your website and blog as well.

Search for other channels in your niche on YouTube and collaborate with them. This way you might get integrated into a new niche and get more exposure.

Your possibilities are endless, you can also consider paying for keyword advertising on Bing, Google, Yahoo etc. If you don’t mind spending a little change.

Add a eye-catching intro or outro to your videos. This add a nice professional touch to your videos.

Tags for videos. You can use up to 500 characters in your video tags, and if you don’t use video tags, it’s less likely that people will find your video, therefore tagging is very crucial in making sure your videos are properly classified and seen.

Make your own Thumbnail. Most YouTube accounts have seen a significant increase in clicks and views as a result of custom thumbnails. A good thumbnail will help you to stand out and relate to your video, resulting in more clicks. There are tons of FREE apps you can use to make amazing Thumbnails.

Create a blog. If you’re a full-time YouTuber or thinking about becoming full-time, I would definitely recommend that you create a blog for your YouTube videos. It’s very easy these days to embed a YouTube video on your blog, and you can start blogging by creating a WordPress blog or a Blogger blog. There are so many options out there that are absolutely free, or you can buy hosting and then start your blog from there. The decision is up to you.

Add a playlist to the mix. Create a playlist with your existing YouTube video, If you have a series of videos, you can create a playlist where once you start one, the other videos will automatically play, giving you more views on the other videos you’ve already created in the long run.
