What are the best ways to promote a YouTube channel?
Hi friend, when it comes to YouTube,
3 main factors that make my channel every month look like this:
I will try to help you by sharing what I DO to GROW MY CHANNEL.
1. Grow Your Channel with SEO:
Which is ranking your videos on top of YouTube search results by optimizing your title, and metadata for a specific keyword. U can use tools like Tubebuddy, Vidiq, H-supertools, and others to grow your channel.
in order to rank a video on YouTube, you have to do the following:
Find the correct keyword to rank with (High Search Volume + Low Competition)
Optimize your video using the correct keyword.
Example from my channel:
If you open YouTube now and search for “amazon ses”, you will find a couple of my videos on Top of YouTube Search Results.
So How I did this?
The first step is doing keyword research for YouTube, I do use H-supertools Free YouTube Keyword research tool to find keyword ideas.
so open the tool, and enter the topic or keyword that you wanna create a video about or your published video.
in my case, I searched for “amazon ses” and here are the results:
So you can see around 22K searches per month on YouTube, and the Difficulty is Low, so I can rank somehow easily on this keyword.
and on the same page of H-supertools, you will find Related Keywords, you can use as tags and mention in the video description.
so I set the Video Title as:
How to Use Amazon SES as your SMTP Service? | Send Bulk Emails For Cheap | AWS SES Tutorial
the bold terms are keywords iam trying to rank on with this video. but the main keyword is “amazon ses”
Then in the video description:
In this video, I will show you how to configure Amazon Simple Email Service ( SES) and use it as your own SMTP Server for your Email Marketing campaigns.
Why Amazon SES? Maybe the main reason for selecting Amazon SES as your SMTP Service is the cheap costs. Do you believe that you can send a 100K email for 10$ !?
You see the keywords in the description.
Then the Tags as follows:
You can see the keywords I got from H-supertools suggested keywords. and I am ranking number one on almost all keywords. I am using vidiq here to check the keyword ranks.
This is how you optimize your Video on a certain keyword to rank on YouTube top results, and by the way this may be accomplished in 1 hour and not by 1 month.
I do the same operation for around 30 keywords to rank on top of YouTube, some examples:
IIS
IIS web server
build SMTP
SMTP server
Create SMTP
URL Rotation
….. and so on.
Other important points:
also what helps you rank your video other than metadata (title, description and tags)
is the video length and quality. if people love your content and stay more on YouTube watching your video, YouTube will rank it higher.
so publish High-quality valuable videos and optimize your Thumbnail and title for higher CTR (click-through rate).
Video Optimization: You have to take care of your videos after you upload by optimizing it, take care of your Thumbnail, Title, Description, Tags, Video length, script...
Quality Content: Quality is always better than quantity, especially today. so always ensure to give the real value of highly engaging videos on your Channel.
Consistency: YouTube Love consistency, always ensure to put a schedule for your channel and publish videos on a regular basis.
Patience: Your Channel will not Grow in 1 month (even though it's not impossible), but keep in mind that you may not see results before 6-12 months of hard work.
I hope this helps.
