So YouTube are changing goalposts. As well as needing 4,000
hours of watch time you also need 1000 subscribers to monetize your content. So
here's 10 tips to help you get there. Hello everyone welcome back to Vital Tech,
if this is your first time here while you're at it subscribe to our Website and
click on the notification bell to make sure you don't miss any of our content.
And as by way of an introduction, Let's get started.
How to get 1000 Subscribers on YouTube (Top 10 Tips) |
1. Appeal directly to
your audience for a subscription, Now there is a school of thought that
suggests asking for subscribers may sound a little desperate, cheesy but it's
simply a part of the Youtube fabric. People ask you to smash that like button
to improve the YouTube algorithm and engagement rates now we're simply asking
you to subscribe to our channel for two reasons. Obviously you want these
viewers to come back for future content on your channel but if you're open and
honest and say that I need to get to 1000 subscribers to monetize my content
and help sustain the channel I think subscribers and viewers would accept that.
2. Another way you could encourage your viewers to subscribe
is to do something a little exciting and animate on screen. You can get all
sorts of resources from all over the internet. Simply try what fits for you and
you may see an upsurge in subscribers.
3. Our next tip is to
take advantage of this icon which is your watermark branding. When viewers
click on this icon it takes them to your channel where they could subscribe
after watching more of your content. It's edited and created via the branding
page on the creator studio.
Now we have a two pieces of advice for this little icon:
first of all put the words subscribe in there just to encourage people to do
exactly what it says and don't introduce it right at the beginning or the very
end of your video. You want it to act as a visual distraction maybe 30 to 45
seconds into their video.
4. Now you can't put subscription links in video cards but
you can put a subscription button in the end screens.
5. Next up we have what you might call a dirty little web
trick. Whenever you share your YouTube channel add this ?sub_confirmation=1 to the end of your link and this is what
happens. When users click on it they are prompted to automatically subscribe to
your channel before actually visiting your YouTube channel page. As I say it's
a little dirty that might annoy some users who get this pop-up and then click
off your page but I bet the majority of them will be happily cancelling and
looking at your channel or subscribing outright.

6. Another way to directly appeal to your audience for a
subscription is to write a comment and then pin it to your videos. When you do
this that pinned comment appears at the top of the comments list. Now again I
feel as if honesty is the best policy. Be open and transparent, tell your
audience why you're pinning these comments, why you're asking for
subscriptions. Maybe it's because you want to invest some of the money you earn
back into the channel with new equipment or products.
7. You could also add a similar message to the video
description of all of your videos. If you have the bulk campaign manager is available
on many extensions for boost and pro users it's accessed from the video manager
page of the creator studio and as you can see on-screen you could add a message
either before your current video description or after and add it to certain
videos or all of your videos.
8. Another thing you can do is reach out to an entirely new
audience by adding value to other channels. That might be watching their
content and posting awesome comments that get pinned or liked by the channel
creator and create a conversation. When people get involved in those
conversations they're gonna think Hmmm this video creator perhaps has value on
their own channel and visit your stuff and perhaps subscribe to your channel so
think of it on a wider scale beyond just your current audience try and attract
a new audience who may really enjoy your content and subscribe.
9. Our next tip may
sound obvious but it does need reinforcing, post new content on a regular
basis. For some viewers it may only take one video to convince them to
subscribe to your channel but for others they may watch a video, enjoy it, but
they don't subscribe. Then on their YouTube homepage they see another new video
from you, they watch it enjoy it and say yep I've seen a couple of videos from
this person now I enjoy their content I'm going to subscribe.
10. And following on the theme of encouraging viewers to
become subscribers make sure that your channel homepage is very welcoming. A
channel trailer, a good description about what your channel does including a
good channel banner, and of course, plenty of playlists that tell the viewer
exactly what your channel is about. In fact when you're sharing videos share
the playlist video link. That means that when a viewer is watching your video
they're within your playlist environment. They may see more videos that they
like from your channel and eventually subscribe.
So those are ten tips to help you get up to 1000 subscribers.
So why hasn't this Article ended just yet? Well we have an eleventh tip, a
controversial, one we're not even sure we should suggest this but everybody
else is going to do it so you might as well know what it's about. Sub4Sub. We can't avoid this subject. Now that
youtubers need to get up to 1000 subscribers it's almost a legitimate reason
for youtubers to post Sub4Sub. They're actually helping out each other to get
to a numerical value in order to satisfy YouTube needs. But this comes with a
lot of caveats.
If you do Sub4Sub there's a very small chance that you're
actually going to get any valuable watch time from those subscribers and if
there's a lot of Sub4Sub going on from channels that have no intention of
actually producing any decent content or indeed any content whatsoever- they
might be gaming the YouTube system - those channels could get deleted by
YouTube and then you lose a slew of subscribers. The main thing you should be
doing is spreading a message of value that convinces viewers to become
subscribers and not through some simple transaction to get to a target
.
And as a final note on the subject of Sub4Sub if you do
follow YouTube by the book it breaks their Terms of Service and you could
receive a strike on your channel so you have been warned. And that's it for
this video I hope you found it enjoyable, informative and useful. If you did visit
our website again and up YouTube algorithm, and of course if you want more
content just like this subscribe to Vital Tech. You see it's easy. Enjoy the
rest of your video making day bye for now.
