According to YouTube, the amount of users grow by 40% each year keeping YouTube on the online video throne. YouTube has a billion users, and how do you get yourself noticed? You may be putting out great content but nobody knows about it. On my previous channel with 14,000 subscribers I realized that when I had a smaller channel I could always reply to all of the comments and really connecting to the audience giving them a sense of community. This gave me a major kickstart as they provided me with support, motivation and feedback. Three major factors in improving your channel. In return I took their advice and produced better content, creating a good creator to audience relationship.
Now that you've got that part down, the ball starts to roll, your audience will start sharing your content and since your videos get better over time, your watch time will also increase soaring your videos high up into the results ranking. This will generate recognition and your audience will start growing faster as time goes. Your channel will grow each step of the way from then on!
However, this formula will only work if your content is consistent and if you brand yourself right, two things that are much easier to do than this one. Lastly, NEVER GIVE UP! Although this will boost your channel like you've never seen, this does not happen over night, if you wanna grow on YouTube you better stay hustlin'.
