Published on 10.05.2020 by Natia
Are you a YouTuber or a marketer wishing to gain more attention on the platform? Billions of people use YouTube at least once a month, and you will need a lot of effort to gain the attention of the audience. To make the process easier, some simple tips will help you to grow the number of your YouTube views. They are listed below.
1. Visual – Description – Contact Info
Make your account look polished and professional. Your channel icon which looks like a logo must represent your brand. You should add an eye-catching banner image to your channel to gain attention.
Don’t forget to fill in the "about" section. Remember that most of your potential subscribers will check it in order to find out more about your brand before they subscribe. The description should be brief and clear, and they must include relevant keywords to make your channel easily discoverable.
The contact information should be easily findable. Also, add your other social platforms to the YouTube channel banner.
2. Explore Your Competitors
Find your competitors, i.e., successful creators in the same niche. Watch their videos and read their descriptions. Pay attention to what kind of videos have the most views, as well as likes and comments.
Check carefully how the creator communicates with their subscribers, how they encourage them to subcribe, and how they react to negative comments. Then, see what keywords the creator uses. As soon as you get all the answers, start planning your channel in the same manner.
3. Create a Content Schedule and Calendar
Imagine that your channel is a TV show. You will need to be consistent and publish new content daily or weekly—you can choose any of the weekdays to post. The more frequently you post, the more prioritized your channel will be by the YouTube search ranking algorithm. However, don't be unrealistic and too ambitious.
Also, don't forget that you should have enough time to create high-quality content. Then, create a content calendar and make sure that your channel has enough new content weekly. A calendar should be simple enough to create, and it will help to show you which of your videos have performed best.
