It is undeniable, that people make videos through YouTube channels, one of the goals is to get a promising income. No wonder almost all YouTubers activate AdSense ads in their videos.
The problem is, that YouTube provides difficult conditions before you can monetize to make money. Accounts must be verified, have 1,000 subscribers, and have had 4,000 watch hours over the last 12 months.
For beginner YouTubers, of course, the requirement to add 1,000 subscribers is heavy. It's not easy for YouTubers, especially novice YouTubers, to get subscriptions or subscriptions that follow every update on their YouTube channel.
Subscribers are very influential because, with many subscribers, a video has a high viewing duration and will appear more often in YouTube suggestions and search results.
Because it is difficult to get new subscribers, impatient beginner YouTubers finally choose to spend money by buying subscriptions through websites, marketplaces, or social media. Some don't want to spend money and choose the sub4sub method, namely the activity of subscribing to each other among YouTubers so that their channel has many subscribers.
The two ways are arguably unnatural. So what are the steps to get new subscribers without violating the rules of YouTube? Of course, all can be done naturally by applying some strategies.
- Channels or content just focus on 1 niche
A niche can technically be interpreted as a word that is devoted to something important to achieve marketing targets. When starting to build a channel, you should just focus on one niche. For example, entertainment content such as parodies and music. Useful content such as tips, tutorials, information, and education. Then sensational content, such as social experiments and pranks.
- Pay attention to the quality of the content
Content should be short, concise, clear, and not long-winded. As much as possible the content is in the form of video that is oriented to the audience. The short length of the video does not guarantee YouTube likes because what is judged is precisely how many percent of the total videos the audience likes.
- Good video quality
Good video quality including editing will be very helpful so that viewers feel at home and don't hesitate to subscribe to a channel. If necessary, trim unnecessary videos. Even better, you can watch videos or similar content on other best-selling channels, then observe, imitate, and modify.
- Regular and consistent video upload time
Try to regularly upload videos. For example, if you can upload every day, or it can be two or three times a week. The point is that it is important to upload videos regularly and consistently. The goal is that over time the videos can be recommended by YouTube to a wider audience.
- Interaction with the audience
Interaction with viewers such as replying to viewers' comments or pinning a Pin is very important, especially for novice YouTubers. This step can increase the reputation and trust of a channel so that viewers do not hesitate to subscribe to a channel.
Building a YouTube channel is not easy. It is very important to understand that a YouTuber must keep trying and never give up because there are also many people out there who never give up on building their channel and eventually succeed.
