Getting the first 100 subscribers is tough because your visibility on the internet is not yet set up and whatever you upload has a good chance of getting lost on the internet, until you have optimized and promoted each video well enough.
Here is a list of my tips to increase subscribers :
1. Make responsible and watchable content – People should have good reason to talk about your content. It should be community friendly and highly shareable.
2. Build channel reputation – Post around ten initial videos and make them related to each other. A person visiting your channel should be clear about what he/she can expect from it.
3. Engage with the viewers and be responsive to comments- You can use an excellent tool called TubeEngagePro (http://tubeengagepro.in/) to organize the comments on all videos in one place and use feedback to upgrade content.
4. Target the right keywords. Keywords are important- When people search, they use keywords and phrases. To be found better in search, make use of accurate and logical keywords and phrases. The description is important because it gives Google a precise idea about the video. Therefore keep it specific and keyword-rich. Use the other features like tags, titles, and thumbnails to describe the complete content’s importance. This is also known as the optimization of metadata.
5. Upload regularly – make a schedule; do not be passive after the initial uploads. This will build up your engagement and give a viewer an idea of a well-planned and organized channel.
6. Use custom thumbnails – thumbnails attract a viewer to your video, therefore make an interesting one. Avoid misleading or inaccurate ones.
7. Get links from other websites – engage with the users already active in your niche and showcase your work
8. Connect with like-minded communities.
9. Preview your videos on social media – use twitter, FB, Instagram to make smaller previews of your video and share them in like-minded groups/online communities.
Before looking for subscribers, you must ensure a library of well-made content so that you can work on creating a consistent branding and reputation for your channel.
