7 ways to get more YouTube subscribers in 2021
Let's look at the strategies that worked for SEO expert Brian Dean of Backlinko.com. (...and compare what I have done)
- Create power playlists organized by outcomes (okay let me do this)
- Publish videos longer than 10 minutes because they rank better (not true for my Channel but let's give it a go)
- Promote another video in the end screen (done that and still doing)
- Change The Branding watermark into a subscribe button (I have that but it's not a button so let's change it)
- Focus on quality not quantity (so far so good that's the way I do it)
- Reply to every comment immediately (I am doing this consistently)
- Write a compelling Channel description that includes the channel overview, the topics covered, who your channel is for, and a call to action to subscribe. (let's change mine)
...and 10 more! See the Backlinko blog post...
Feel free to leave a comment or question.
PS:
What am I thankful for right now?
- Tuesday. The days are getting more exciting as the daily live stream continues.
Is it the weekend yet? Let's clear clutter, spend family time, and more.
What do I need to see to be happy at the end of today?
- 👉 Complete all YouTube masterclass content.
What will stop me?
- Tiny tasks
How will I overcome any obstacle?
- Just do it
What's not working?
- Little tiny but important tasks and reminders.
- I left out editing sessions in my daily routine.
- I forgot to promote the iPhone 12 pro Max.
How to overcome?
- Turn tiny but important tasks into blogs. Since I want more content.
- Make a daily stream on editing on twitch, FB. And maybe IG and TT.
What did I learn?
- Does passive income exist? What if I stop posting for 6 months?
What did I learn previously?
- Whatever we post now will see fruits 3 to 6 months later. How long the fruits last depends on the topic.
- I can do one thing at a time. Cannot multi-task.
- Drop everything at 5 pm. Switch my mind. Change back tomorrow morning. 🥰
- Fold time. Inception method. Make a video in a video stream.
- The top three gimbals people are searching for DJI OM4, Zhiyun smooth 4, and Zhiyun smooth Q2.
- These are the topics with million searches. Other brand gimbal videos are slowing down my viewership.
- Should I buy the DJI OM4? Is the DJI OM5 coming out soon? The DJI OM4 was released in August 2020, so expect the DJI OM5 to be announced around August 2021. Buy DJI OM4. The number #1 talked about gimbal.
