Top 10 Tips to Get Your First 1000

YouTube Subscribers NOW

By Kyle Bernard

If you’re new to YouTube but want to monetize your content you’ll need to
generate 4,000 hours of Watch Time, and you’ll also need 1,000 subscribers to
qualify.
YouTube subscribers are the bread and butter of any successful channel. These
regular viewers can maximize your organic reach and give you a consistent base
level of views every time you post new content.

If your goal is to make money on YouTube, hitting subscriber milestones is


critical. For instance, you need at least 1,000 subscribers to become a YouTube
Partner and start earning ad revenue. And the more subscribers you have, the
higher you rise on YouTube’s “benefit level” ladder (think: awards, managers, and
production aid, starting when you hit 100,000 subscribers).

What if you plan to use YouTube for branding and marketing, rather than to make
money directly? You still need subscribers. They bump up your play counts,
watch time, and engagement—all-important signals to the YouTube algorithm.

So, should you just go out and buy YouTube subscribers? Or use a service that
promises a quick 1,000 youtube subscribers for free? Read on to find out
(although the next section heading is probably a clue…).

Then keep going to find out how to get people to click that Subscribe button and
get free real YouTube subscribers using legitimate strategies to grow your
channel.

Here are our 10 tips on how to grow your YouTube following:


#1 Apply Directly to Your Audience to Subscribe

There is a school of thought that suggests asking for subscribers,


may sound a little desperate, even cheesy, but it's simply a part of
the YouTube fabric. People ask you to smash that like button to
improve the YouTube algorithm and engagement rates. I've never
had a single comment on one of my videos complaining about
asking for subscribers and if you never ask, you may never get.

#2 Use Resources to Encourage Subscriber Sign Ups

A way you could encourage your viewers and subscribe is to use


animations on your videos to make the subscribe button pop. You
can get all sorts of resources from all over the internet. Simply try
what fits for you and you may see an upsurge in your subscribers.

#3 Take Advantage of Your Watermark Branding

Our next step is to take advantage of our watermark branding.


When viewers click on this icon, it takes them to your channel
where they could subscribe after watching more of your content.
It's edited and created via the branding page on the Creator
Studio. Make sure the word ‘Subscribe’ is included in your icon,
and don’t introduce it right at the beginning or at the very end of
your video. You want it to act as a visual distraction, maybe 30 to
45 seconds into the video.

#4 Add a Call to Subscribe on Your End screen

While you can’t add subscription links in YouTube Cards during


your video, you can add a subscribe button to your Endscreen.
Have a play around with graphics and animations for a really
strong call to action (CTA).

#5 Use an Auto Subscribe URL

Next up is a neat little trick. Whenever you share your YouTube


channel add a command to the end of your link, like this:
www.youtube.com/vidiq?sub_confirmation=1. When users click
on it they are prompted to automatically subscribed to your
channel before actually visiting your YouTube channel page.

#6 Use a Pinned Comment to Ask for


Subscribers

Another way to directly appeal to your audience for a subscription


is to write a comment and then pin it to your videos. When you do
this, that pinned comment appears at the top of the comments list.
Now again, I feel as if honesty is the best policy. Be open and
transparent. Tell your audience why you're pinning these
comments, why you're asking for subscriptions. Maybe it's
because you want to invest the money you earn back into the
channel with new equipment or products.

#7 Add a Subscribe CTA to Your Video
Description

You could also add a similar message to the video description of


all of your videos.

#8 Be an Active Part of the YouTube Community

Another thing you can do is reach out to an entirely new audience


by adding value to other channels. That might be watching their
content and posting awesome comments that either get pinned or
liked by the channel creator and create a conversation. When
people get involved in those conversations, they might think, "this
video creator perhaps has value on their own channel." So, try
and attract a new audience who may really enjoy your content
and subscribe.

As an example, we get all sorts of awesome comments from you


on our videos. I'm sure many other video creators are reading
those comments, agreeing or disagreeing, generating a
conversation, perhaps visiting your channels and subscribing. In a
recent example, we had a video creator who got an audit on one
of our live streams, and that drew in a significant number of new
subscribers to his channel. He increased his subscriber base by
5% just by contributing to our YouTube live stream.

#9 Post Content on a Regular and Consistent
Basis

Our next tip may sound obvious, but it does need reinforcing. Post
new content on a regular basis. For some viewers, it may only
take one video to convince them to subscribe to your channel. But
for others, they may watch a video, enjoy it, but they don't
subscribe. Then in their YouTube homepage, they see a never
new video from you, they watch it, enjoy it and say, "Yep, I've
seen a couple of videos from this person now. I enjoy their
content. I'm going to subscribe."

#10 Make Your YouTube Channel Homepage


Welcoming

Following on the theme of encouraging viewers to become


subscribers, make sure that your channel homepage is very
welcoming. Use a channel trailer, give a good description about
what your channel does including a good channel banner, and of
course, plenty of playlists that tell the viewer exactly what your
channel's about. In fact, when you're sharing videos, share the
playlist video link. That means that when a viewer is watching
your video, they're within your playlist environment. There may
see it more videos that they like from your channel and eventually
subscribe.
