Ways To Grow Your YouTube Subscribers for Free, Contributed by @TangerineTravels

If you have a YouTube channel, I'm sure you know how difficult it can be to get subscribers! So much effort goes into producing great videos and then you find them getting lost in the YouTube abyss. Over on our YouTube channel, we know this all too well.

Fortunately, we've learned some growth hacks that should help you get started in building your subscriber base.

Get on Tinder

Get on Tinder and every other free dating app that you can (OK Cupid, Bumble, Coffee Meets Bagle, etc​.) This is an often overlooked form of free marketing. Everyone on these apps wants to know what you do for a living which gives you the perfect opportunity to advertise your YouTube channel (or just about any other business for that matter).

Even though we're in a relationship, we have a couple's profile on Tinder and are open about the fact that we're just looking for friends. We've gained a ton of subscribers this way because our profile might be seen by 100s or 1000s of users per day!

Put out great content

YouTube decides how your channel is going to be ranked in their algorithms. They can make or break your channel.

YouTube's goal is to keep you on their website and long as possible which allows them to maximize their advertising revenue. If their algorithms start to pick up on the fact that you're posting great content, they will start to rank you significantly higher.

This happened to us just within the past couple of days. Our channel only has 800 subscribers at the moment but lately, we're gaining 50-100 PER DAY. This is all because YouTube decided we have great content and started ranking us higher. Before, we were lucky if our videos got 1,000 views within a month. But now, they're getting 1,000 views in the first 12 hours.

It took us 3 months and 90 videos before YouTube began ranking us significantly higher, but now we're enjoying the fruits of our labor because we've been putting out great content all along.

Comment on other channels

---

Subscribe to other channels in your niche and click the bell to make sure you get notified the moment they upload a new video.

When they upload a new video, watch it immediately, and leave the best comment you possibly can. In the comment, try to make some comment that suggests that you also have a YouTube channel.

If your comments get voted to the top of these discussion sections, you can gain a lot of followers this way.

Post to niche Facebook groups

---

Find Facebook groups that are within your niche. Although you can share your YouTube videos directly to those groups, I don't recommend it. Posts that are YouTube links don't perform well with Facebook algorithms in our experience.

Instead, write a Steemit post with the YouTube video within the post's body. Then, share that Steemit post in your niche Facebook groups.

When sharing these posts, remember, the more comments and likes/reactions that your post gets, the higher Facebook ranks it in your algorithms.

People love to tell you when they disagree with you and people love to comment on controversial things. So keep these things in mind when you're trying to rank higher in their algorithms.

We've used all of these tactics to grow our subscribers from 0 to 800 in less than three months. I hope you can go out and use these tips and tricks to gain some subscribers for your channel.
