In these slides I'm sharing ways that you can grow your YouTube channel from having 0 views and 0 subscribers.

2. FIND YOUR TRIBE
• CREATE CONTENT TO ATTRACT YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE
• PEOPLE TYPICALLY COME TO YOUTUBE FOR INFORMATION OR ENTERTAINMENT, BE INFORMATIVE AND
ENTERTAINING IN YOUR VIDEOS AND TO YOUR VIEWERS
• PROPERLY UPLOAD YOUR VIDEOS SO THEY CAN FIND YOU, THEY’RE LOOKIN’! [LINK BELOW]

3. STRATEGICALLY SHARE ON SOCIAL MEDIA
• WHEN YOU UPLOAD A VIDEO, SHARE IT ON ALL OF YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA SITES. CREATE AN APPEALING
PREVIEW OF THE VIDEO CONTENT (TYPICALLY 30 SECONDS OR LESS) AND ADD THE LINK TO THE ACTUAL
VIDEO AS THE CAPTION OR IN THE COMMENTS.
• WHEN YOU’RE IN A DISCUSSION WHERE YOUR VIDEO WILL MAYBE BE OF USE TO SOMEONE, SHARE THE
VIDEO WITH THEM

4. SHARE IN FORUMS AND GROUPS
• FORUM SITES WHERE YOUR VIDEO COULD BE OF HELP TO SOMEONE
• FACEBOOK GROUPS IF YOU THINK YOUR VIDEO COULD SOLVE SOMEONE'S PROBLEMS OR ADD SOME TYPE
OF VALUE TO THEM OR THE TOPIC AT HAND

5. CONTENT IS KING
• PROVIDE TRULY VALUABLE INFORMATION
• BE ENTERTAINING
• CARE ABOUT WHO’S WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS, YOU ARE SERVING THEM, ITS NOT THE OTHER WAY
AROUND. YOU CANT HIDE IT, IT SHOWS!
• POST CONSISTENTLY , IF YOU HAVE 0 VIEWERS AND SUBSCRIBERS, MAKE AT LEAST 10-20 VIDEOS
BEFORE YOU START UPLOADING ANY TO YOUTUBE SO THAT HAVE YOU LEEWAY TO STAY CONSISTENT,
YOUR VIEWERS WILL BE EXPECTING NEW CONTENT AT LEAST A FEW DAYS A WEEK, 1 DAY A WEEK
MINIMUM

6. COLLABORATE WITH SIMILAR CHANNELS
• GET IN TOUCH WITH OTHER YOUTUBER WITH SIMILAR CONTENT AS YOURS AND MAKE A VIDEO WITH
THEM
• YOU CAN ALSO DO A GUEST POST ON THEIR CHANNEL
• DON’T TRY TO COLLAB WITH CHANNELS THAT HAVE WAY MORE SUBSCRIBER THAN YOU HAVE, ITS
NOTHING WRONG WITH IT BUT THEY’LL LIKELY DENY YOU BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE ANYTHING TO GAIN

7. POST ON A SCHEDULE AND STICK TO IT
• LET YOUR AUDIENCE OR VIEWER KNOW WHEN YOU WILL BE POSTING NEW FRESH CONTENT
• LET VIEWERS KNOW TO CLICK THE BELL ICON TO BE NOTIFIED WHEN YOU UPLOAD A VIDEO
• DON’T LIE TO THEM, STICK TO THE DAMN SCHEDULE!

8. STEAL IDEAS FROM POPULAR CHANNELS
• GO TO POPULAR YOUTUBE CHANNEL PAGES IN YOUR SPECIFIC NICHE AND VIDEO THEIR MOST POPULAR
VIDEOS
• MAKE YOUR OWN CONTENT BASED ABOUT THE TOPIC OF THOSE VIDEOS
• TRY TO CHOOSE THE TOPICS THAT ARE MORE RECENT AND THAT YOU BELIEVE PEOPLE WILL STILL FIND
VALUABLE
• THIS VIDEO YOU’RE WATCHING NOW IS A STOLEN IDEA! LOL SEARCH AND SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE STOLE
THIS SAME IDEA, ITS NOT A COINCIDENCE. “GOOD ARTISTS COPY, GREAT ARTISTS STEAL” –A WISE MAN

9. TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR CHANNEL
• TELL PEOPLE ABOUT YOUR CHANNEL IN REAL LIFE
• TELL YOUR FRIEND, FAMILY, CO WORKERS, CLASSMATES, STRANGERS
• IM SURE PEOPLE WILL BE INTRIGUED AND CHECK YOU OUT JUST BECAUSE THEY KNOW YOU OR KNOW OF
YOU
• TALK ABOUT IT A LOT! LET IT BE KNOWN!!!

10. ADVERTISE
• CONSIDER STRATEGICALLY RUNNING SOME FACEBOOK ADS OR YOUTUBE ADS TO SOME OF YOUR
CONTENT
• YOU SHOULD LEARN MORE ABOUT MARKETING AS NOT TO WASTE MONEY, BUT IT WONT HURT TO
EXPERIMENT WITH SOME SPARE CASH

11. KNOW YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE
• WHAT DO THEY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT?
• WHAT DO THEY LIKE?
• WHAT DO THEY NOT LIKE?
• KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE LIKE YOU KNOW YOUR BEST FRIEND, YOU KNOW EVERYTHING THAT MAKES THEM
TICK AND WHAT WILL HAVE THEM INTERESTED. REMEMBER, YOU ARE SPEAKING AND SEEKING OUT YOUR
SPECIFIC TRIBE, THEY’RE LIKE A REFLECTION OF YOU

12. START UNKNOWN. LEAVE UNFORGETABLE
• DON’T BE BORING, BE REMARKABLE!
• DON’T BE BORING, BE ENTERTAINING!
• DON’T BE BORING, BE YOURSELF! (WHEN YOU’RE BY YOURSELF, INTROVERTS!)

13. THINK ABOUT YOUR BRAND
• SHAMELESSLY PLUG YOUR BRAND, BUT DON’T DO IT IN BAD TASTE
• YOU ARE YOUR BRAND SO BE MINDFUL OF HOW YOU DRESS AND PRESENT YOUR SELF PHYSICALLY AND
VOCALLY
• THE COLORS AND THE WAY YOU SHOOT YOUR VIDEOS, ITS ALL YOUR BRAND
• MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR PAGE SETUP WITH INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR CHANNEL

14. CONSIDER DOING VIDEO SERIES
• A VIDEO SERIES WILL KEEP AN INTERESTED VIEWER AROUND TO COMPLETE THE WHOLE SERIES AND GIVE
THEM MORE VALUE AS WELL AS BUILD CREDIBILITY FOR YOUR CHANNEL
• IF YOU BRANCH TOPICS OFF OF A SPECIFIC SERIES THEY’RE ALSO LIKELY TO WATCH THAT VIDEO( OR
VIDEO SERIES) TOO
• NOT ONLY WILL YOU BE GETTING MORE VIEWS BUT YOU ARE MORE LIKELY TO GET THEM TO SUBSCRIBE
• YOU’LL BE BUILDING TRUST, IF YOU’RE ENTERTAINING YOU’LL BE BUILDING LIKABILITY AND IF YOUR
CONSISTENT THEY’LL FEEL LIKE THEY KNOW YOU

15. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR COMMENTS
• WHAT ARE PEOPLE ASKING FOR? GIVE IT TO THEM
• WHAT ARE THEY STRUGGLING WITH? OFFER A SOLUTION

16. ENGAGE & INTERACT
• WHEN PEOPLE COMMENT WITH YOUR VIDEO, RESPOND TO THEM
• WHEN PEOPLE POST YOUR VIDEO SOMEWHERE, SAY SOMETHING IN THE COMMENTS WHERE ITS POSTED!
• DON’T ACT LIKE YOU AREN’T REACHABLE, INTERACT WITH PEOPLE
• WHEN COMMENTING ON OTHER PEOPLE’S VIDEOS, ADD VALUE THERE AND PLUG 1 OF YOUR OWN VIDEOS
IN AN NOT ANNOYING WAY, SAME CONCEPT WITH SHARING IN FORUMS AND GROUPS

17. TRENDING TOPICS
• MAKE VIDEO ON TOPICS THAT ARE TRENDING IN POP CULTURE AND IN YOUR NICHE
• TIE IT IN TO WHATEVER YOU’LL BE TALKING ABOUT BECAUSE IT’LL BE GETTING TYPED INTO SEARCH A LOT
AND WILL CATCH PEOPLE’S ATTENTION JUST BECAUSE ITS TRENDING
• TRENDING TOPICS ARE LIKE GOOD INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES, YOU NEED TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THEM BEFORE EVERYBODY DOES, ONCE YOU GET A GLIMPSE- MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT IT! ANY VIDEO! AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE! OR YOU’LL MISS THE TREND. YOU CAN ALWAYS MAKE ANOTHER BETTER VIDEO LATER,
BUT DON’T MISS THE TREND!!

18. QUALITY CONTENT AND VIDEO
PRODUCTION
• CONTENT IS KING!
• IMPROVE YOUR CONTENT QUALITY BY WHATEVER MEANS YOU CAN
• VIDEO PRODUCTION IS QUEEN
• CONSIDER UPGRADING OR IMPROVING ON CAMERA QUALITY, LIGHTING, AUDIO AND EDITING

19. ANALYZE YOUR ANALYTICS
• SEE WHERE PEOPLE MAY BE JUMPING OFF YOUR VIDEOS AND MAKE ANY NECESSARY CHANGES, CONSIDER
ADDING A LINK TO ANOTHER VIDEO OF YOURS RIGHT BEFORE PEOPLE TEND TO JUMP OFF
• CONSIDER CHANGING THE LENGTH OF YOUR VIDEO, MAYBE ITS TOO LONG. OR EDIT THEM DOWN MORE.
• JUST USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT ON HOW YOU CAN IMPROVE.
• WHEN YOU HAVE 0 VIEWERS AND 0 SUBSCRIBERS YOU’RE FREE TO EXPERIMENT AND SPLIT TEST IDEAS,
TAKE ADVANTAGE NOW WHILE YOU’RE IN THE BEGINNING LEARNING STAGE

20. MASTER THE ART OF HOOKING VIEWERS
