Absolutely fantastic work! We are at similar subs so I’m just curious about how you promote
? Do you use social media or anything else?
I have found several art & craft groups on facebook (about 20 or so). Just a quick search on Facebook helped me find them, and facebook also suggested a few groups.
In my craft tutorial videos, I show a demo of the end product in the beginning itself, and then start with the tutorial. So, every time I release a new video, I create another short video for facebook which only contains this demo. I then post it in these groups, along with a link to the full tutorial. I have found it to be quite effective because people can watch the crux of the video without leaving fb, and if it interests them enough, they can consciously decide to go to youtube.
Instead, if you just post a link, people would scroll past it (I myself do). No one wants to make the extra effort of clicking the link and leaving fb, without even knowing what could be in the video, when there are several interesting things in the feed. So, you have to show it to them, and let them decide for themselves. If the content is good, people do go over to youtube. And, they watch the videos longer and are more likely to subscribe.
This happens with me to some degree for every video, but the last video I put took it to another level. That video alone has brought 124 subscribers in the past 6 days, more than 2000 views so far (my first video to have a 'K' in the end, 2K), and has been watched for more than 8000 minutes. Just for context, the total watch time of my other 8 videos combined is about 7000 minutes. Also, in the fb groups, there were more than 1200 likes in one group alone, people have commented a lot, and some people have even expressed interest in buying the card.
Also, second thing which I try to follow is to make unique content, and tailor it for some upcoming festival or occasion. Of course, I draw inspiration from others, and do use some well-known and some not-so-well-known techniques, but I try to give it my unique style. People are more likely to notice something which is unlike 100s of other things (like Seth Godin says, ''Be a purple cow"). And they are more likely to search for festival-related crafts ahead of festivals.
So, these are the two things I follow currently, and they seem to be working well. I do have a few more strategies in mind, but I want to try them before mentioning them.
And yes, I reached 300 subscribers today. Going to write another milestone post

Just watched one of your videos, and enjoyed it! Funnily enough, I do not like pets (and my wife loves them), but I still enjoyed the video. That is some great work!
Also, can you share how you promote the videos?
