Keep reading up to end of the article.

If you are new to YouTube you will thought that all you needed to do was publish great videos. Have you heard that how to promote video without paid promoting?

When it comes to growing your YouTube channel, video promotion is key. That’s because according to YouTube own data, 500 hours of video content is uploaded to YouTube every minute. So for your channel to stand out, you can’t upload a bunch of videos and hope for the best. Instead, you want to strategically promote every single video. In fact promoting videos is one of the main reasons.

Actually can I promote my YouTube videos without paying? Yes, can do.

What are the strategies that will have to apply to grow your channel? In this article I am explaining about most important tips that will help you to grow your channel.

Strategy number one: Share your videos on Reddit forums and Q&A sites.

Why does these forums and sites works? peoples are visiting online communities and forums for two main reasons. To find new content and to get their questions answered and your videos can help with both of those things.

 For example, lets say you just published a video about the "How to make money online". Your first step is to head over to Quora and look for questions that peoples are asking about make money online. Then use your video as a way to help answer those questions. Now obviously you don’t want to start spamming Quora and Reddit with a link to your video. That’s going to do more harm than good. Instead, add some original content to the discussion and then feature your video as a way that people can learn more.

For example, just think you wanted to promote one of your video, then  you need to search for Quora for discussions about your video’s topic, which was link building. And then added a full answer that could stand on its own, puls a link to your video for people that wanted to dive a little bit deeper, which help to get more views.

Second strategy is Optimize around trending topics.

You probably already know that SEO will help for getting more views on your videos. The question is what key words should you optimize for your video around?

Well, it’s no secret that most keywords on YouTube are super competitive. And if you have a small channel it’s going to be hard to rank above the big channels. Fortunately, there’s a simple way to get around this issue, which is to optimize around new trending keywords.

First type a topic idea into YouTube search. Then take a look at the words and phrases that YouTube suggests. These are all keywords that people are searching for right now on YouTube, which means they might not be super competitive yet. You can also use a free tool called explodingtopics.com, this tool surface rapidly growing topics before they take off.

Third strategy - Boost your video CTR

Your video CTR or click-through rate is important for two main reasons. First, higher CTR means more views. For example, Let’s say you have a video that has a lower click-through rate. Well, if you can improve that up to higher click through rate, you will get more views without needing do anything else to promote your videos.

Second CTR is an important, YouTube algorithm ranking signal. In general, the YouTube algorithm wants to promote videos that get lots of clicks. In fact, the YouTube creator studio states that YouTube recommends videos that people show interest in. Now to be clear, I’m not recommending clickbait. That’s because if lots of people click on your video and then realize it’s clickbait and stop watching it, YouTube is going bury that video.

I mean, YouTube even states that quote, this sort of stuff can hurt your chances of being recommended to new viewers. So it’s important that you back up your title and thumbnail with a legit high quality video.

One of the best ways to get higher click through rate is to create super colorful thumbnails. In my personal opinion, most thumbnails on YouTube are way too dark, or they only use two or three main colors, which makes them and blend in.

Instead, you want to use thumbnails with lots of contrasting colors. For example, you can see that this thumbnail from one of my videos. Uses five different contrasting colors, which helps it stand out. 

Strategy number four: Collaborate with other channels

Best way to grow your channel on YouTube is collaboration with big YouTubers, but it's not easy to do. Bigger YouTubers are not interested in small channels, and they always collab with same channel position which channel there have equal subscribers.

Now the key to a successful collaborate is to send someone a highly targeted, specific pitch right off the bat. In other words, don’t say something generic like, “Hey, I’d like to collab. I think it would help my channel. What do you think”. But when you send a pitch that emphasizes what they get out of the collaboration, they’re super likely to say yes.

Next strategy is the sequel technique.

Specifically it’s helping to get tons of views from the suggested videos section on YouTube. Here’s how this technique works. First, find a video in your niche that’s already super popular. You can easily find these by heading over to a channel page

Next, take what’s already great about that video and improve it. Here are some ways that you can make your video better than any other video out there on that topic. Now, the idea here isn’t just to rip off the original video. Instead, you want to build on a proven approach and then push out a video that’s 10 times better.

And once your new video is ready to go, it’s time to optimize it for SEO. Specifically, you want to add the same keywords that the popular video uses in your videos title, in the description, and as some of your tags. And if you do this right, your video will start ot show up next to the popular video. And a certain percentage of people will click over to your video to watch.

Strategy number six: Go back and re-optimize your older videos

Well, try to start to experiment with going back and re-optimizing old videos and it seems to be helping a little bit. So as you already know, there’s not much you can do to edit or change an existing YouTube video. But you can always go back and change the video’s title, description, tags, cards, end screen and thumbnail.

To be clear, this isn’t some sort of magic bullet that’s going to make an old video go viral, but it can help some of your older videos get a rew extra views every month.

Let's move to strategy number seven : Ask your viewers to subscribe with a call to action.

This is a super effective way to turn more viewers into subscribers. In fact, YouTube themselves recommend this exact approach. All you need to do here is at the end of your video, directly ask people to subscribe to your channel. In other words you don’t want to casually says, “Like, comment and subscribe.”

Comments are nice, likes are ok, but subscribers are the lifeblood of your channel.Which is why it’s worthwhile to specifically ask people to subscribe.

Lets’s drive to strategy number eight: Use consistent channel branding.

When it comes to growing your YouTube channel, your brand’s look and feel is huge. And if someone lands on your channel page and it just looks ugly and unprofessional, they’re probably not going to subscribe. But if they see a channel that has a strong brand, they’re much more likely to hit that subscribe button.

So one of the first things you have to do is to add better thumbnails, video intros, trailer, and channel art all to match up, which helps his channel have a strong and consistent brand. Then everything from your channel art, to thumbnails, to the animations and graphics in your videos have the same look and feel.

Strategy number nine is one of favorite techniques: Uncover untapped keywords in the YouTube studio.

All you need to do here is head over to the traffic source, YouTube search section of your YouTube analytics and you will get a list of all of the keywords that you currently ranked for in YouTube search.

Now if you are already using video SEO to promote your videos, a lot of the terms here aren’t going to surprise you. But if you dig deep enough, you will usually find at least a few surprising keywords that you’re not even trying to rank for. So when you find a new keyword here, what’s next?

Well, you can create an entirely new video around that keyword or you can add that keyword to some of your older videos.

Last strategy is Preview new videos in a community post

This strategy is super simple. Whenever you were about to publish a new video, make sure to let your subscribers know a day or two before in a community post. This builds up anticipation for your upcoming video, which can lead to more views.

All you need to do in your post is outline why your video is worth keeping an eye. Nothing fancy here, just a post that gave existing subscribers a reason to look forward to your video.
