So you made a youtube channel but you realize that it is not growing? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It happens to the best of us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially if you are either new to youtube or have a smaller channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But believe it or not, there is usually a light at the end of the tunnel and a way to get your channel to start gaining views and subscribers.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I found myself stuck at 70 subscribers for a long time, but there were a few things that I changed that helped me break free. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, in order to help you avoid feeling stuck <\/strong>when it comes to your youtube channel, here are 5 things that will help your channel start to pick up speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 Things That Will Help Your Youtube Channel Grow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As much as we love and appreciate the youtube algorithm<\/strong>, it is still one of the biggest enigmas on the platform. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So instead of waiting for it to kick in, let’s try to jump-start the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1- Create Youtube Channel Visuals<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"minded
minded marketing channel (first few months)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the first things that any creator should do is make sure that your youtube channel looks and feels legit. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to do that, you need to have all of your visuals on your channel on point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That means having a nice channel banner, a good logo<\/strong>, and making interesting video sections for your home page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I highly recommend you use a free tool like Canva <\/a>to make all of the visuals you need for your youtube channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went through all of the things that you can do to make your channel look more professional<\/a> so you can read more about that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reason why you want to focus on this first is because of the fact that you want people who find your channel to stay and subscribe.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the worst things that could happen is having a new viewer find your channel only to see that your channel page is barren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They won’t subscribe because you don’t look legit enough.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So making sure that you look the part is going to be very important for your channel growth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2- Cohesive Youtube Channel Branding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Channel branding<\/strong> is not talked about enough on the platform and it is also not practiced enough by smaller YouTubers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it should definitely not be overlooked<\/strong> as it can set up your entire channel for success if you do it right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things like your channel name and logo<\/strong> are going to play key roles in your branding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"minded<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For example, if you have a channel about Minecraft, then you may not want to channel name called “MeatHeads.”<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not that it isn’t a good name generally speaking, but it says nothing about the content that you create. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless you already have a following where people know what you are about, then many people may be confused by the name. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even overlook it thinking it has nothing to do with gaming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you want a name that makes sense<\/strong> for what you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also want to make sure that you also have a good logo paired with your channel name<\/strong>. Once again, you probably don’t want a symbol of a steak if you are talking about gaming. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This helps bring cohesiveness across your channel <\/strong>and you will definitely start to see how easy it will be for you to scale your channel and youtube business in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3- Practice Youtube SEO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I am just going to be very honest with you: If you have a small youtube channel and you want to get views faster, you need to practice youtube SEO.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know people think it is complicated and it takes time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I understand that it is a bit of a learning curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it is also one of the fastest ways to start getting <\/strong>views to your channel overnight<\/a> without having to wait for the algorithm to kick in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What youtube SEO<\/a> does is it helps your content rank on the youtube search page<\/strong>. This means that when someone searches for a topic on youtube, your video could come up at the top of the list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"RANKING<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Making it more likely for it to get clicks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Youtube SEO process<\/strong> is by far one of the simplest SEO processes out there. Once you get the hang of it, you will be able to work wonders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It consists of having good keywords in 5 major parts of your youtube channel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Video titles<\/strong><\/li>
  2. Video description<\/strong><\/li>
  3. Scripting<\/strong><\/li>
  4. Video tags<\/strong><\/li>
  5. Chapters\/ Timestamps<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    This will lay a great foundation for your content <\/strong>and channel to be found by viewers through the search function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you use an SEO tool like Tubebuddy <\/a>or VidIQ<\/a>, it will make everything a lot easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"tubebuddy<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If you want to know how to do the full SEO process and how to find good keywords, I recommend you read my full Youtube SEO guide<\/a> or watch my Youtube SEO course on Youtube. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4- Get Your Content Out There<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Once again, as nice as it would be to be able to fully rely on the algorithm to get eyes onto your content, it takes time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    And if you are a newer or smaller channel, the algorithm just may not know your content well enough to start pushing you out.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So you are going to have to do the work and get your content out there!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are great social media platforms that you can use to share your youtube videos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"quora<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    My personal favorites are Quora <\/a>and Discord<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But you can use places like Twitter<\/a>, LinkedIn<\/a>, and Reddit<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    I personally do not recommend you use Facebook groups<\/strong> unless you find very targeted groups<\/strong> that have a good policy when it comes to sharing links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Certain niches just do not do as well on Facebook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you are going to use Instagram<\/a>, then focus on making Instagram Reels<\/strong> for the time being because that is where the focus seems to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Whatever you choose, getting eyes from other platforms<\/strong> onto youtube is going to be something that the youtube algorithm will be very happy about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5- Make More Content!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Last, but not least, if you really want to see a big burst in growth<\/strong>, you are going to have to make more content!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Sorry, I know. More content means more work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But just having 20 videos on your channel is just not going to cut it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to bigger channels, you are usually going to need around 80-100 videos<\/strong> before you see any real growth on youtube. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Considering how much time it takes to create and edit youtube videos<\/strong>, it sounds like a heck of a lot of work to put in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"laptop<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    But that is how the youtube game works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Before the wheels start running on their own, you are going to have to put a lot of effort into making quality content.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    This doesn’t mean that you will have to upload a video every day. But you probably shouldn’t upload once every two months either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Create just enough content where you feel like you are being productive without burning out<\/strong>. And if you are able to batch your content and create several videos in one sitting, then do it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It will help you save tons of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Becoming a youtube creator is one of the coolest things that you can do online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can create content how you like it and share it with your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But sometimes, you may find a bump on the road to glory and fame on youtube. When your channel feels like it isn’t growing, it can be hard on a creator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Waking up every morning, and checking your analytics, only to see little to no views can be disheartening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    But don’t give up too soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    No youtuber should quit their youtube dreams before uploading thier first 100 videos. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A lot of these youtube channels you see out there with hundreds of thousands of views usually have hundreds or even thousands of videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just make the adjustments mentioned in this article and keep uploading high-quality content and you will start to see things shift in your favor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
