How to Get 1,000 YouTube Subscribers FAST!

Key Takeaways

are you wondering how to get more YouTube subscribers well this video will help so at the time of this recording I only have 2400 YouTube subscribers and this isn't much to brag about but I do have more than 1000 so at least I can help you get to the first milestone which is 1000 subscribers so with that said here's what I personally did to get my first 1000 YouTube subscribers the second method is what I like to call the unfair advantage so make sure you watch the whole video let's jump right in so [Music] the first thing you have to do is create super valuable content so attempting to create valuable content is at the forefront of everything that I try to do and YouTube is no exception and I'll say that creating YouTube videos is much more logistically challenging than writing content on a blog because there are so many stages and variables involved for example me spending 20 minutes trying to get the camera in the right spot or spending another 20 minutes trying to get the lighting right that's tomorrow and that is that that's tomorrow and that is it for us today and we will leave you with a I can't do it we'll do it live do it live doing live I can go write it and we'll do it live thing sucks but at the end of the day people are only going to subscribe to a channel if they believe it's valuable in some way value comes in many different forms but I recommend focusing on trying to create the absolute best videos you can and avoid worrying about content publishing consistency you simply cannot win the consistency game unless you have a huge team and even then it's still hard to produce great pieces of content when your focus is on consistency and not on the highest quality imaginable one other point to keep in mind is to try to create most of your videos or a target keyword you have to remember that YouTube is the biggest video search engine and you need to use keywords for searchers to find your content and my final point about contents that I recommend creating long-form in-depth content my most popular video on YouTube as of right now is my video about developing an SEO strategy it's over 40 minutes long but it has over 13,000 views number to leverage your email list content is the foundation of every good YouTube strategy but you must also promote your content if you want to get any traction my personal secret weapon for content promotion is my email list whenever I publish a new video I immediately send an email to my list and this sends an influx of views and engagement on the video right away which are positive factors for your video and channel I highly recommend you start building an email list because this is truly the unfair advantage for content promotion one of the other ways I promote my videos is within the meet of my blog content if you go to my blog and watch SEO calm you'll see my YouTube videos all over so the main takeaways that you need to get as many eyeballs on your YouTube content as you can number three use contest slash giveaways there is nothing complicated about this at all just give one of your products or services away for free and ask your subscribers to participate for example my first giveaway was lifetime access to my SEO training course GOC SEO Academy which I sell for 997 dollars then I simply just ask people subscribe comment and like every video to be entered into the contest whoever was the most active won the contest this is a good time for me to congratulate Jason Hughes for winning free lifetime access to our course and there were many people who could have won but we felt that Jason left the most thoughtful and consistent comments so with that said we'll be running another contest soon the truth is contest incentivize people to engage with your content and engage in is huge for your YouTube channel bring your me to my next point number four you need to engage with your audience I'm someone who believes you should respond to every single blog comment or social media comment you get and that's because someone took time out of their day to leave you a comment and you should be honored if you go to my gotcha SEO blog you'll see that I've responded to every a single blog comment I've ever gotten and as of right now my blog has 86 hundred total blog comments and half of those are me so you'll notice that I respond to every YouTube comment as well this type of effort is like compound interest for your brand every response built slightly more trust for your brand and this compounds over time people take notice and they realize that you're someone that actually cares about them and you'll build a loyal audience by genuinely caring about every single person and by truly wanting them to succeed and don't forget you need people to like and trust your brand if they're going to buy things from you or subscribe your YouTube channel so just to recap here is how to get your first 1,000 YouTube subscribers number one create incredible keyword targeted content and focus on quality over quantity number two start building an email list so you can get traction with your new videos as soon as possible and I'll be sharing some email growth strategies in future videos number three consider doing a giveaway to incentivize people to engage with their content and to subscribe to your channel number four always take time to engage with their audience and remember that there's another human being on the other side of that keyboard so that's pretty much everything I did to get my first 1,000 YouTube subscribers if you got some value out of this video
