How To Double Your YouTube Channel’s Views In 30 Days

In order to go viral on YouTube, your videos need to get more views. Imagine what would happen if you were able to double your YouTube views in the next 30 days. You may not go viral right away, but doubling your YouTube views in 30 days would give you a stronger presence on the third most popular website on the web. Imagine how different your channel would look if it got 50 views every day instead of only 25 views every day. Then imagine what it would look like if your YouTube channel got 100 views every day instead of only 50 views every day.

It is important to remember that although quality is important, quantity is also king. It is much easier for 100 YouTube videos to get a combined total of 100 views (each video gets 1 daily view) than it is for 1 YouTube video to get 100 views all by itself. You need to be able to upload at least 1 video on YouTube every week so you can ensure quantity but not a decline in quality. Implementing this method would result in 4 YouTube videos by the end of the month. Let’s say you have 2 YouTube videos that get a combined total of 20 views every day. At this rate, each YouTube video would need 10 daily views. However, if you upload and publish four additional videos, then all six of your videos only need 6-7 daily views in order to get a combined total of 40 views.

Another way to boost up your views is by getting more subscribers. One of the most powerful ways to get more subscribers is by including an annotation in your YouTube video that automatically subscribes someone to your channel when it gets clicked. One month after adding the annotation to my videos, I saw a 120% increase in the number of subscribers I got. As I got more subscribers, I also noticed an increase in my YouTube views. Your views will not go up dramatically as you see a big increase in subscribers, but you will see a gradual increase that shows no signs of decline.

The key to getting more viewers is to get more returning viewers. Subscribers are valuable because they become returning viewers. However, there are some people who do not necessarily subscribe to any channels but still become returning viewers. These types of viewers are the ones who need to see a couple of your videos before they finally decide to subscribe to your channel. In order to make these people more likely to subscribe to your YouTube channel, you need to increase the retention rates for your videos. If people stop watching your videos after a few seconds, you need to learn from that mistake and create better videos. An easy way to increase your retention rate is by having a three second or less introduction to your YouTube videos. It is a very helpful feature that automatically makes your YouTube videos more professional.

30 days may not seem like a lot of time to double your YouTube channel’s views. It is how you utilize these 30 days that will ultimately decide where your YouTube traffic ends up from this month to the next month. I would love to hear about anyone who is taking the challenge as well as the progress they are making.

5 Ways To Use Your Social Networks To Promote Your YouTube Videos

June 29, 2014 by Marc Guberti Leave a Comment

YouTube is a free and easy way to upload videos on the web that anyone can see. Getting a lot of people to view those videos is the hard part. Even though YouTube gets billions of unique visitors every month, some videos on YouTube have no views while others have less than 10 views. For a long time, I noticed a common trend with my YouTube videos: I was not getting a lot of views. I was able to get 20-35 views every day, but I knew that was not enough. When I looked at these statistics, I became committed from that point on to getting over 3,000 views on YouTube every month. It’s a starting point which will allow me to expand on YouTube.

In order to get these extra views, I went to the same source that made this blog popular: my social networks. Using my social networks to promote my YouTube videos had a big impact on the views, likes, and subscribers my channel received. Having 100,000 readers did help, but the main concept of using social networks is to reach out to the audience that you already have. These are the five ways that you can promote your YouTube videos on your social networks.

Tweet about your YouTube videos at least four times every day. There’s nothing bad with tweeting a lot of content every day. On a typical day, I send out 90 tweets. No one seems to be bothered by it, and ever since I sent out that many tweets every day, I have been getting more engagement for those tweets and followers. As you upload more YouTube videos, you should also consider tweeting about five of your YouTube videos every day. The more the better, but it needs to be consistent.
Pin your YouTube videos on Pinterest. On Pinterest, you have the option of pinning your YouTube videos on specific boards based on specific aspects of your niche. This allows you to specialize your YouTube videos and allow the ideal people in your targeted audience to see those videos. If you include an annotation in your video that allows people to subscribe to your channel by clicking the annotation, you will be able to get more YouTube subscribers right from Pinterest.
Use a Facebook Page to promote your YouTube videos. Facebook is a social network that encourages oversharing. If you have a good YouTube video, people will be very likely to share that video. All it takes is the click of a button, and someone has shared your video with 20% of their friends. Then, as more people continue to share your video, it will go viral on Facebook and ultimately lead to thousands of views in a matter of hours.
Use GooglePlus To Promote Your YouTube Videos. GooglePlus and YouTube are both Google products that have a big impact on where you appear on Google’s search engine. Using GooglePlus to promote your YouTube videos will give your videos an edge on Google’s search engine.
Let’s not forget about YouTube as a social network! Many people forget that YouTube is a social network as well. People can comment on your videos, and you can respond to those comments just like any social network. At the end of all of your YouTube videos, you can promote six of your related YouTube videos. This will allow you to grab your viewer’s attention for a longer period of time.

Those are the five ways you can use social networks to promote your YouTube videos. Just by promoting my YouTube videos on my social networks to a small extent, I was able to get 50% more views for my videos. While I will easily be able to get 1,000 views this month, I envision myself following the same tactics and eventually getting 3,000 monthly views before the end of the year. In addition to promoting your YouTube videos with your social networks, it is also important to connect all of those social networks together in one of the greatest strategies of marketing known as Circular Viralocity. What are your thoughts on the list? Do you use other methods to promote your YouTube videos on your social networks? Please share your thoughts and advice below.

6 Ways To Get More Returning Viewers On YouTube

Most people focus on getting returning blog visitors and returning customers. While it is good for anyone to return, less people focus on getting returning viewers on YouTube. Returning viewers on YouTube will be more likely to share the videos on your channel every time. In addition, they will also watch your videos for a longer period of time. As these people promote your channel, others will learn about your videos and recommend them to your friends. This is ultimately how most channels and videos end up going viral. Since getting returning viewers is critical towards your success on YouTube, you need to implement these 6 tactics to get more returning viewers for your videos.

Have a professional 1-3 second introduction. Don’t jump right into what your video contains without including a professional introduction. Having a professional introduction automatically makes your video better. It gives people an idea of what will be in your video, and a professional introduction will make you look more professional too. The professional look will build on your credibility which is always important to get more of.
Have a strong intro after the professional 1-3 second intro. All you have to do for the strong introduction is briefly tell everyone who you are. Just mentioning your name is good enough. Even if you already said your name in 20 videos, keep on saying it. Some of your viewers will have no idea who you are until you say your name. As the viewer hears you say your own name more often, your name becomes glued into the viewer’s mind.
Make sure you are publishing quality videos. Publishing quality videos are really important. The professional 1-3 second introduction completely grabs the viewer’s attention. In order to grab their attention for the duration of your video, your video needs to be really good.
Get more people to subscribe to your channel. There are several ways to get people to subscribe to your YouTube channel, and I highlighted 20 of them in an older blog post. Subscribers get notified every time you come out with a video which means these people are the ones who will be very likely to become returning viewers.
Have a remarkable story. Remarkable stories always help out, and in some cases, having a remarkable story may allow you to go viral. These are some ideas to help you come up with your own remarkable (but true) story.
Have a strong conclusion. For this strong conclusion, you need to sum up everything you said in the entire video. After that, tell the viewer that you hope that your video served them. If you think of a good punchline to use at the end of all of your videos, then use it before you stop recording.

By getting returning viewers, your YouTube videos will become and look very popular. The popularity of your YouTube videos helps decide whether someone will view your video or not. Most people tend to view very popular videos, and by getting your viewers to become returning viewers, your YouTube videos will be more attractive to potential viewers.
