Good day to you fellow Youtubers, My name is Matt Dean and I am Certified in Youtube channel growth. That is not however how I was able to grow my channel so quickly.
Today, I'd like to share with you some of my experiences with the platform this past few months, what has worked for me. This post isn't supposed to be a flex, but more of a "my story" kind of thing.
So my channel is all about helping smaller youtubers to grow their channels, thats the message of my channel, but really I help anyone thats willing to learn.
In the first 2 months of my channel going live I didnt get much traction, I think I had maybe 100 - 200 subscribers gained at that point.
It wasn't until month 3 when things started to change for me, I looked into my comments section and saw that people where asking me for advice (obviously because thats what the channel is for) So i started making a few videos centered around what people had asked me in the comments, I optimised them as best as they could be, made compelling thumbnails and titles and let them go.
The intial reaction from my subscribers was pretty awesome, people liked that I was creating content that they had suggested, but then something amazing happened.
2 weeks after the release of one particular video, after it had gained around 300 views (200% more than my previous uploads) it started to show up in the search results on Youtube.
Being a growth expert on the platform, I went to my analytics and saw what keywords/keyphrases where bringing people to my channel and I quickly re-optimised the videos to match those META Tags.
4 months later and that video now has over 110,000 views and has been propelling my channel forward since upload, netting me on average 250 subscribers every single month.
What I want you to take away from this post is, sometimes a video you upload may do better than you ever expect, the trick to growth is to be ready when it does. Study your analytics and make sure to optimise and reoptimise your content as often as you can, to see what does and doesnt work.
I wish you all the best of luck and if you'd like to check out my channel then the link is here : Youtube Growth
