Below we will explain to you 14 steps or strategies to reach 100 subscribers. These are taken from our experiences on channels with different topics. As a result, don't miss reading this content.
First of all, we assume that you have set up your channel in a completely basic way and now your channel is ready to attract subscribers with several attractive posts. Now, considering these conditions, use the following methods to attract the first 100 subscribers to your channel.
1- Promoting the channel on social networks
Now is the time to promote your channel wherever you have the opportunity and share its link with users on social media and the web.
If you have a website or blog, you can include a link to the video in posts related to your channel videos, or if you have a friend or acquaintance who has a website, you can suggest sharing your YouTube posts with them.
If you are also in a position to spend money to attract subscribers, you can submit your video posts along with text content for advertising to advertising websites and pay for the advertising.
Another opportunity to share YouTube posts is social media:
- Telegram: Share your posts on channels or send your YouTube posts to others
- Instagram: If you have an Instagram page, take advantage of this opportunity and share your YouTube channel address on Instagram as a post, story, highlight, or wherever you can think of. Advertising on various pages at low cost is an exceptional opportunity for you to attract subscribers.
Don't forget other social networks such as WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Facebook, etc. It is recommended that in addition to being active on YouTube, you become a member of all these social networks and, by being active on these platforms, don't neglect this way of attracting subscribers.
Note: One of the features of YouTube posts is sharing by creating embedded videos. You can click on the Share button under the video, click the Embed option and get the Embed code. This code will make your video post better displayed on social networks, websites and blogs.
2- Asking friends and acquaintances to subscribe
To reach 100 subscribers in one day, one of the steps you need to take is to ask your friends and acquaintances to subscribe to your channel. You can even tell them your goal for this request (that you want to reach 100 subscribers in one day).
It is recommended that you send a very attractive message to this group along with your channel link. You can also use social networks like WhatsApp or Telegram to avoid paying for text messages.
A sample message to send to friends and acquaintances to attract subscribers:
Hello, I recently launched my YouTube channel and I plan to start my own home business through this social network. The topic of my channel is cooking education and I teach a lot of new and practical tips and tutorials related to cooking. My goal in sending this message is to expand the number of members of my channel and I really like to share the new information I gain from cooking with you, my dears. I would be happy if you send this message to your friends and acquaintances so that they can join us on this channel.
The message above was an example for someone who recently launched their own cooking training channel on YouTube and used this message to inform their friends and acquaintances about the launch of their channel.
3- Producing content on trending topics
If you want to attract subscribers quickly, it is recommended that your first few posts be related to the trending topics of the day. If you can relate your channel topic to the trending topics of the day and create posts for them, you will definitely be better able to attract subscribers on the first day or days.
For example, during the peak of the coronavirus pandemic, many channels produced posts related to this global trending topic and were able to attract a large audience. For example, channels introducing movies and series produced posts titled “The best movies to watch during the coronavirus pandemic,” or motivational channels produced posts titled “How to not be afraid of coronavirus?” which recorded a strange number of likes, comments, and shares.
4- Make the channel name catchy and easy to remember
Try to come up with a name for your channel that is simple and memorable. This will make it easier for users to find you and will also help you stay in their minds. Channels with simple names are usually easier to remember and attract more subscribers.
If the idea of changing your channel name comes to your mind, it is recommended that you follow the following path and change your channel name:
- Enter the YouTube Studio section.
- Then find the Basic info section and click Edit.
- Now delete the previous name and enter the new name.
Try to choose a name that is simple, short, and reflects the topic of your channel. For example, for a cooking channel, they usually use the name of the chef + the word cook or chef.
In addition to making changes to the channel name, if you don't have a specific description of your channel in the Description section, it is recommended that you write in this section everything you need to attract users. For example, your goal for starting the channel and what topics you usually cover, etc.
5- Choosing attractive and beautiful graphic items
A good profile picture can easily give your channel a professional look. If your channel looks good, your chances of attracting subscribers will also increase dramatically.
Don't forget about the channel banner either. An important thing to keep in mind when preparing your profile picture and channel banner is to coordinate the colors of the channel banner with your profile picture. YouTubers usually have a beautiful color theme for their channel and create their post covers, channel banner, and profile picture.
6. Know the needs of your target audience
Although you should do your audience research before launching your channel, it’s not too late to get your first 100 subscribers in a day. Most of the strategies we’ll cover in this article will easily get you to your first 100 subscribers, but we’re going to cover a few things you might not have considered before.
For example, let's consider a cooking channel. You need to know what kind of personality your target audience has and what kind of content they are interested in. Well, 80% of the audience in this field is definitely women. Therefore, considering this very important point, you need to know what women are looking for in the field of cooking, what color theme they like for the channel, etc.
If you know your target audience well and understand their needs, you can advertise your channel better and more purposefully.
7- Follow YouTube SEO principles
One of the most important things that will help you grow your channel and, most importantly, attract subscribers, is YouTube SEO. YouTube SEO helps your channel be more easily and better seen in the world of YouTube and of course Google search, and attract more subscribers.
Now you may be wondering how SEO attracts subscribers?
In general, YouTube SEO means optimizing a YouTube channel based on what the target users of that channel are looking for. Users search for a phrase in the YouTube search engine to find the content they are looking for, now in order for you to be seen in YouTube search results and attract those users to your channel, you need to optimize the channel based on SEO principles.
YouTube SEO involves various tasks and factors that we cannot explain in one or two paragraphs, but the most important points to consider in YouTube SEO are the following:
- Find the most searched keywords for your channel's topic and optimize your channel's Description section with attractive text.
- For each content topic you produce, your user will search for phrases to find your content or content similar to yours. Find these phrases and optimize your video title and description for these phrases.
- The purpose of optimizing a section is to use keywords in the text content and repeat them enough so that the user does not get tired of reading the content.
- The title of a video content should be a high-search keyword phrase or include a high-search keyword phrase. For example, teaching English conversation has more searches than the phrase “learning English conversation.”
- To find the most searched keywords and which ones are getting the most searches, you should use keyword research tools.
8- Attractive covers for videos
One of the elements that increases the views of a video is its cover. The video cover or thumbnail is one of the most important parts of content production that you should not neglect. If the cover has attractive colors and items, along with an attractive title, it will definitely attract a large audience.
As we said before, it's best to have a color theme for your entire YouTube channel and have your video covers based on that color theme. But in addition to paying attention to your channel's color theme, using intriguing items and an attractive title can go a long way in attracting an audience.
When writing the title on the cover, it is better to choose a specific font. A specific font attracts more attention than fonts used on different channels.
