-: Another way to get more subscribers? 3 3
Get more views of course! 4 4
Okay, so, maybe you have a business card 5 5
that has your channel on it, 6 6
and you're giving it out and trying the hard way 7 7
to get 1,000 subscribers. 8 8
You're commenting on other YouTube channels 9 9
trying to get other people there 10 10
to come check your channel out too. 11 11
You're posting your video to forums that are 12 12
relevant to your topic, 13 13
which actually not a bad idea, by the way, 14 14
if you're just starting out. 15 15
But even then, after all that, 16 16
you still only have 123 subscribers. 17 17

(sigh) 19 19
Insert sad music. 20 20
Well, the best way for people to find your channel 21 21
is by making a video with a trending topic, 22 22
or at least related to something somewhat popular. 23 23
That way the robot can suggest that I watch your video 24 24
after I watched another video on that topic. 25 25
If your content is in no way related 26 26
to anything else on YouTube, 27 27
then the robot never has the chance 28 28
to suggest it to new viewers. 29 29
Once viewers are watching your video, 30 30
some of them will respond 31 31
to your call of action to subscribe, 32 32
and the more people you get watching, 33 33
the more you will get to subscribe. 34 34
And you'll be on the way to your subscriber goal. 35 35
You can be more idealistic later on in your journey, 36 36
but at the beginning, you have to be a bit more calculated.
