What’s the best way to grow your YouTube channel this 2023? Honestly speaking, regardless of what anybody says, there is no single ‘best’ way to gain more subscribers on YouTube. Throughout history, the observed growth of channels on YouTube always included a myriad of factors that helped paint a better picture of what was really going on.

Still, receiving tips and suggestions directly from some of the biggest and most popular names on YouTube is rewarding in its own right. If you want to learn how they grew their channels, then this is the place to be, where a team from Sideqik shared their latest YouTube marketing tips.

24/7 – 365

To start, here are a few things that Sideqik covered:

  • Add a pitch to your videos

  • Add annotation links

  • Use the right keywords

  • Upload video transcripts

  • Use custom thumbnails

As with anything about guides and whatnot, in true Social Media fashion, Sideqik was thoughtful enough to summarize their inputs in an infographic. You can check out the full details here, but for this post, we’ll be looking at Sideqik’s Five most prominent examples.

Adding Video Pitch

It may seem awkward and outlandish, but one of the easiest ways to gain more viewers is to simply ask them to join. While most people would be happy to support those that create content they enjoy, they also tend to forget to subscribe after watching something that was highly entertaining. If you’ve noticed, successful channels, often really big ones, continue to pitch toward the end of their videos. 

Adding Annotation Links

Annotations are a great way to give your videos a professional look and feel, but, more importantly, they help users engage with your videos. Interactive videos link to other videos, helping your videos rank higher.

Use The Right Keywords

On-channel and video SEO should be approached in the same way as your website. Keywords in the title and meta descriptions of your content will make them more discoverable, which, again, contributes to your overall visibility. 

Uploading Video Transcripts 

This is something that mainly helps YouTube index your videos for viewers. A more contextual element, video transcripts help give your videos more depth and meaning, increasing their relevance for viewers who search using keywords associated with your content. 

Production of Quality Content 

There’s no fault in producing high-quality content. In fact, content like this should be incentivized because of how much effort goes into its creation and how many people enjoy bingeing on it. High-quality videos will help your channel further stand out. 

The Wrap

There are 19 more segments in the overview, but it’s best if you go check out Sideqik’s handiwork since theirs is bound to be more comprehensive and fine-tuned because they’re the ones who have the raw data needed to make such hypotheses in the first place. Like what was mentioned earlier, there are many ways in which you can grow your YouTube channel. It’s not a matter of how anymore, but rather ‘which one’?
