How to Get More Youtube Subscribers in 2017
If you have been following me for a while, you will know that I've previously shared how important it is for your to create Video Content and the way that I'm helping you free of charge in My Ultimate 90 Day Video Challenge starting January 9th, 2017. If not, here is the quick link to that blog post: Top 10 Benefits of doing video marketing and a 90 day video challenge. I also did this related blog post on How to make your video go viral. With that said, here are my top 10 steps on how to get more Youtube Subscribers in 2017:
1. Create and post quality content that adds value. Take the time to create videos that are easy to enjoy visually and provide good quality content to your target subscribers. My focus is helping entrepreneurs and online marketers so I do a lot of tutorials and tips on how to maximize youtube for beginners. Here is a two recent youtube videos I completed that were received very well:

2. Research and choose wisely the content you share and the titles and description you use Tools like Google Keywords has proved to be very useful in helping me find topics that are being searched for within my area of expertise and then create content with catchy titles and descriptions that include those keywords. When using such tools as Google Keywords to find keywords within your area of expertise, focus on long tail so 4 words or more and low competition keywords. Also, before you create your content, search youtube and see what content is already available on that keyword and the information shared, how described and how you could do better or focus on a particular niche of clients that hasn't been focused on. For example, if you are on online marketer who focuses on services Accountants you could do a "LinkedIn Profile Tips and Tricks for Professional Accountants". Remember, your title is an invitation for someone to view your content so this should be clear, concise and keyword rich and congruent with the content you actually share in your video. Also, always take the few extra minutes to fill out your description with tidbits of what's in the video. If you have a call to action and link you share, leave that to the very last of your description/any line after the 2nd one. People may get turned off if they believe the video is really primarily away for you to get clickthroughs to your website. That saying if you do have a URL, definitely add it, it's a great way to increase traffic to your site and create solid backlinks which improve the ranking of your site with SEO.
3. Post consistently People subscribe because they want to receive your next content so post consistently to give them what they want. Another great reason why you should join The Ultimate 90 Day Video http://digitalbloggers.com/business/how-to-get-more-youtube-subscribers-2017

Challenge which starts on January 9th. If you are a reliable source of information for the people you are trying to attract as subscribers then they will subscribe to have access to that information. Consider having a schedule that your subscribers can follow so for example ever Wednesday is a tutorial on X subject or every Monday is an inspiring story. Having this consistency shows you are dependable and trustworthy and inspires people to want to follow you.
4. Have a template or script for your videos When you take a few minutes to plan your videos- introduction, content, and conclusion, it allows you to keep focused during the recording and it allows your viewer to easily follow you and get more value because you are organized. You will see also that those videos will tend to perform better. There is also a simple structure that you should always include in your videos before you start getting into your content in the first 10-20 seconds you need to clearly tell people what they will be getting in the video and therefore why they should continue to view it. I tend to do this with stating common questions/scenarios that my content will answer.
5. Invest time to create high quality "evergreen" content Specifically, spend time thinking about content that will always be relevant to your subscribers and spend extra time creating an excellent video on it. What is evergreen content you ask? Evergreen content is that which you will get archived views and will remain relevant irrespective of the time. This can also be an easy way to have great material that will always attract new subscribers.
6. Ask people to subscribe http://digitalbloggers.com/business/how-to-get-more-youtube-subscribers-2017

During your video either ask orally and or use an annotation that makes it easy for people to subscribe to your channel. I implemented a simple annotation on my channel and have a consistent invitation to subscribe and find that it works well.

7. Maximize channel customization If you want people to trust you. Clearly show them what you are about. Define your brand by maximizing channel customization.

8. Personalize video thumbnails This is another way to brand yourself and also have your videos standout in the search results. Consider an image that will clearly tell the viewers what they will see and also some personalisation with a picture of yourself and or the logo of your channel. These personalized video thumbnails tend to get more clicks as you come across more professional as well give a clearer idea to the potential viewer if what you are providing is what they want to view.
9. Make use of the tags Below the description section of your video is a place to put tags. Maximize this field but entering the keywords that relate to your video. I use a great tool called Tube Buddy that comes in free and paid versions and it suggests other great tags that I should add to my videos and provides other great tools to optimize my videos. Consider tagging the name of your channel consistently so when related videos show after the video is completed, related videos from your channel will also be there.
10. Engage with other YouTubers This is huge. Youtube wants to foster community so when you take the time to subscribe to others channels, respond to your comments and comment on other videos. This helps you and http://digitalbloggers.com/business/how-to-get-more-youtube-subscribers-2017

Also, find and support other youtube channels of similar size and or content. You can do this by searching the keywords for the subject area you focus on and then filter results on videos uploaded recently and then looking for videos where the views and or subscribers are similar to you. You can do this in a great supportive environment by joining the Ultimate 90 day video challenge. You can also use a great tool called Youtube Channel Crawler, where you can submit your channel as well as doing more specific searches on youtube for channels and or content similar to yours. Consider partnering with these channels to cross-promote, cross shout out or guest appear (Zoom would be a great tool to facilitate this) on each other's channels and or uploading each other's videos to each other's channels. Those are my top 10 tips for getting more subscribers. Which ones will you be implementing?
