5 Tips To Get More Subscribers on Youtube

Youtube is a huge trend, and being an affiliate marketer you simply can’t miss it. But are you using it right? Let’s go through these tips together!

1. Create a plan (and script) for your videos

The first step in getting started on your YouTube journey is to plan what your channel is going to be all about.

Then you need to plan the structure of the videos.

Decide what it is that you love creating and focus on developing related skills. Do not mimic trending YouTube channels. Doing what you love is more important for success on YouTube (and in life).

Videos tend to perform better if you write a script because scripts help you in organizing your videos efficiently and keeping you on track. By sticking to a script, you’ll be able to stay on track without veering off to an unrelated topic. This script will also ensure a perfect flow of events resulting in a well-focused video.

2. Increase your uploading frequency

Now this is easier said than done, but you cannot ignore its validity. The main reason someone subscribes to a channel is because they love the work of the publisher and wants to see more of their videos.

YouTube subscribers usually do not like channels that don’t produce regular content. Especially in today’s digital age, consumers want continually more and more entertainment. You need to be able to keep up with your subscribers’ demands.

Consistency is the key to developing a long-lasting relationship with your subscribers.

Release your videos in a timely, recurring, and structured fashion. Try to publish one video per week or at least one or two per month.

Stick to your schedule and do not upload videos off of this schedule. This will hurt your reputation. It’s like watching your favorite TV series; a new episode comes out according to a regular schedule. This consistency helps you stay engaged as a viewer.

3. Optimize your titles

Being distinguishable is the most important aspect of YouTube success.

One great way to do this is to give your videos offbeat names. This way, you’re going to be getting a lot of people coming to your channel based on curiosity alone.

Having quirky titles will play a major role in getting the views that your channel needs to benefit from the social proof factor.

But to get a maximum amount of views, you will also need to dive into the SEO part of YouTube marketing.

Here are a few tips for optimizing your YouTube titles for greater reach:

4. Limit the videos to under 5 minutes

Although YouTube is home to many detailed, in-depth reviews and other such lengthy content, the high converting videos are the ones which are optimized for less than 5 minutes in length.

Comscore reported in January 2014 that the average length of most YouTube videos was around 4.4 minutes. For content creators who are getting started, this is the golden number.

5. Use A YouTube Intro & Outro

Your YouTube intro and outro not only helps in branding, it will make your video more entertaining.

Having an intro and outro will serve your brand and offer your video a sense of professionalism. It’s like the opening theme song of a TV show.

Moreover, an attractive intro will ensure that your viewers stay glued to the rest of the video.

Final thoughts

All that said, correctly implementing these techniques will surely help you achieve your goals. Be consistent and the results won’t disappoint you for sure.
