Broadcast Yourself! This is the tagline of YouTube and the website was meant to be used by independent creators with original content. However, in recent years, this has changed a lot with the inclusion of many big organizations on the website. The channels with names like ‘T-Series’ and ‘Sony Music’ grew faster than any of the other creators did on the website.


Nowadays, it’s very challenging for the new creators to compete with high-quality content uploaded by massive organizations. Even if their content is unique and interesting, there are very few chances of their content being viewed as much as that uploaded by reputed organizations.


Creators need to experience constant growth in order to stay motivated and engaged in their work. It’s not 2006 and just uploading quality content won’t result in your channel’s growth. However, you shouldn’t be worried as there are many ways to help your channel grow.


Mentioned below are seven effective ways to grow your YouTube channel:

This way, you'll be able to include the keyword naturally in your content.

Please note that your goal is not to make long videos, but videos with quality content.

The best thing about social media is that you can cross promote content from different channels. This way, you'll be able to easily promote your content and it will eventually result in the growth of your channel.


Facecam - A Secret Weapon


Showing your face in a video and actually talking to the audience while doing so can do wonders for your channel. Adding a face to your brand can be very helpful as people will connect with you on a personal level. They will always have a face in their minds while thinking about your content. This will help immensely in the rapid growth of your YouTube channel. Believe me or not, once you show your face on the camera, more and more audience will be attracted to your content.


Keep Your Uploads Regular

It’ll also grow the strength of your channel as the number of videos will keep increasing constantly. Try uploading 3-4 times a week to attract more and more audience. This method will ensure the rapid growth of your channel.


Urge People To Subscribe To Your Channel


People subscribe to channels because they want to be notified about the new content posted by the channels. Try to get more and more subscribers by urging audiences to subscribe to your channel at the end of every video. There’s a reason why channels with more subscribers get a plethora of views in a single day. This is because the increasing number of subscribers of a channel is directly proportional to the growth of that channel.


Choose Attractive Thumbnails For Your videos


An appropriate thumbnail is as important as the quality of the content. The thumbnail and the title of a video are the things that attract audiences towards the videos. If the thumbnail of your video is appropriate and it shows as a result in google images when your target keyword is searched, you are very likely to gain a view and possibly a subscriber. Gaining a subscriber means the actual growth of your channel. So, whenever you upload a video, just make sure that you select an attractive and appropriate thumbnail in order to attract more and more audience.


Interact With Your Viewers


It is very important to interact with your subscribers and viewers, especially, in the comments section. YouTube notices and rewards such channels. They monitor everything including watch time, likes, dislikes, and comments. Both YouTube and the viewers like creators who interact and encourage a discussion in the comment section. Make sure you reply to as many comments as possible. You can even try to make a QnA video. A QnA video is a video where a creator answers the questions asked by the viewers in his last video’s comments section.
