Day 202 | How to Grow my YouTube channel with a storyline
I uploaded two product reviews this week for two different brands. Here is one of them.
Yesterday, I published this video for a cable brand, by trying to sell the product without selling it. 😅
Here's my 3-step storyline...
✅ The Hook - In the beginning, I mention that I am going to reveal how I solve a problem.
✅ The Content - Then I presented the many solutions I tried and one that I like.
✅ The CTA - Finally I briefly mention that I will leave a link to the exact model that I bought.
It's too soon to see how many affiliate clicks I will get, but it works for my other videos. 📈
Here's Day 202 of my 100K YouTube subscribers challenge report - measured and tracked.
- 📈 Yesterday - 21912. Up 13.
- 📈 Today - 21917. Up 5.
- 💰 Adsense Revenue - more than yesterday
- 💰 Affiliate Products - 27 clicks.
- 💰 Own Products - 155 views.

- A sense and affiliate programs can shut down anytime, but I control the products I create.
- Redirect all AW's opt-in boxes with gumroad links.
- Gumroad is where I place my free and paid digital downloads. Eg. E-courses.
- Gumroad is faster to manage than AW when targeting paid or free followers.
- Eventually, cancel AW's US$179/year (S$250) subscription before renewal on Dec 2021.
- One more thing - Subscribers on Gumroad can choose to pay for a free download if they want to support me... See this post for motivation... https://adrianvideoimage.blogspot.com/2021/03/day-123-of-my-100k-youtube-subscribers.html

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...

PS:
What did I learn?
- Use these 10 query words in front of keywords when researching on Google Search... What, Who, When, Where, Why, How, Which, Will, Are, and Can.
- I am repeating my mistakes. Trying to edit my live videos and wasting time. Don't.
- Set habit goals instead of destination goals.
- Streaming and YouTube are my lifestyles.
- Tiktok tip - If your account is getting a lot of views and you are not engaging with the comments, Tiktok will stop showing your videos to more people. So I started replying the all the comments that were left in the last 3 days.
- 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 to a different topic. Switchback tomorrow morning. 🥰
- 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 gimbals 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.
