Youtube: How I Built a Subscriber Base of 2,000 People

Introduction

I'm a full-time YouTube influencer, which means that I make my living from the platform. In fact, more than half of my income comes from YouTube ads and annotations (which is why I don't disclose how much money they make me).

But growing an audience on YouTube isn't easy—you have to be consistent with your posting schedule and have a compelling brand so people will want to follow you. That's why when I first started out as an online personality two years ago, it took me six months before I reached 2,000 subscribers on my channel. Here's what worked for me:

Create Compelling Titles

So you've written your video, and now it's time to get it shared. But how?

Creating a compelling title for your video is one of the most important things you can do. If people don't see something in the title that makes them want to watch, then they won't do it—and that's OK! It just means there was something missing from what you wrote.

Here are some tips on how I created my own titles:

Make sure they're clear (the first few words) – if someone has no idea what this video is about or why they should watch it, then no one will! Use keywords people are searching for - When creating a title for any piece of content online… make sure at least some of those words appear somewhere within those 90 characters. This will help with SEO (Search Engine Optimization) so Google knows where this post belongs too…

Create a Unique Brand

• Create a unique brand.
• Design your logo, website, banner, style guide and social media presence.
• Create a newsletter that relates to your brand and sends out valuable content once per month.
• Create an account on Youtube where you post videos related to whatever niche you decide on (I recommend doing this alone because it's most likely going to be more successful than anything else).

Use Theory Videos to Showcase Your Knowledge

In the world of YouTube, it's a good idea to use theory videos as a way of showing off your knowledge. This is because people like watching something that they can learn from and then apply in their own lives.

A good example of this would be my own channel where I do theory videos about how to build an online business (or even just save money). My goal with these types of videos is to help other people who aren't as experienced as me understand what they need to do so they don't make mistakes or waste time trying things out without knowing if it will work or not.

It's important that the content you share on your channel aligns with the type of audience you want targeted towards; otherwise those viewers won't stick around long enough for anything worthwhile happening!

Practice Consistency

Consistency is the most important factor in building a subscriber base. You can't expect to have thousands of subscribers if you aren't consistent with your content and how you put it out there.

When I started my YouTube channel, I made sure that every video was published at least once every week. This may seem like overkill at first glance, but if everyone else was publishing one video per week then they would need to be even more frequent than that just so they could maintain their audience size (and this is especially true for smaller channels).

What I did was create an automated script which would publish one new video every day on Monday through Friday (except weekends), along with some additional posts on Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays as well. This helped me maintain consistency across all platforms while still giving me time off during the weeks when I didn't have anything scheduled for those days—which happened often!

Post at Least Once a Week

You should also be posting at least once a week.

This is important because it's not enough to just have a good content calendar and post consistently; you need to keep doing it long enough for people to start noticing what you're doing, and for new subscribers or views on your channel (or anything else) to add up over time.

If you're posting more than once per week, make sure that each video has its own dedicated title so it stands out from the others in your feed. Also, don't overdo it—if there's too much content coming out of one place then that can get confusing for users who don't know where all the different videos are coming from!

Don't Try to Do It All Alone

There's a reason why a lot of successful people are in partnerships. It's because they can't do it alone, and more often than not, you're competing against other companies trying to build an audience in your niche. That's why it's so important that you find people who are interested in what you're doing (or willing to learn), as well as have skills that complement yours.

For example: If I were starting out today and wanted to create content like my friend Sean did for his YouTube channel "The Sean Show," which has over 3 million subscribers on YouTube alone—and he did all this without any budget or team behind him—he would need someone else with skills like editing video clips together into one cohesive piece (that would be me).

You can grow an audience on youtube with hard work and dedication.

Be consistent: Post at least once a day, preferably more often than that. If you post too infrequently, your videos will be forgotten about by viewers.

Have a unique brand and voice: Your channel should have its own distinct personality that reflects who you are as an entertainer or creator (this will help people identify with you). You should also come across as genuine—users want to see themselves in your content!

For example, if I were trying to market my comedy act as a standup comedian, I wouldn’t want to create content with only jokes about politics or current events; instead I would focus on making jokes related specifically back towards myself as an individual—for example “I just met this attractive girl at Starbucks…who happens not only be my cousin but also the daughter of my friend who recently passed away from cancer."

Create compelling titles: Titles are important because they help guide viewers through the video for what it's about before even watching it! Try using keywords related directly back towards what type of content could possibly interest them most (e g “How To Make Money On Youtube” instead of just “How To Earn Money On Youtube).

Conclusion

I hope these tips have given you some insight into how I built my subscriber base over time. As a teacher and a father, my main focus is to help others learn and grow as people. That’s why I create theory videos, because they allow me to share what I know with others in a way that's easy for them to understand. And with this process of building an audience through consistent content creation on Youtube.
