Growing a YouTube channel takes a TON of work and dedication on the backend! So for anyone who has ‘becoming a YouTuber’ on their bucket list and is looking for how to grow on YouTube 2021, this video is for you! So...are you wondering how to grow a YouTube channel in 2021? Here are my top tips for how to grow on YouTube! A major part of growing on YouTube is identifying the content that you enjoy creating. For me, I love the act of teaching people how I do what I do and helping other aspiring content creators become full-time content creators. My career in video production started way back when in college, then I moved to work at r29 (Refinery29), and my love and skill set has only grown from there. SEO or search engine optimization is also a major part of building and growing a YouTube channel. My video description boxes (what you’re reading right now) need to be loaded up with the proper keywords. I'm essentially tagging this video with words and tidbits of information...and I’m telling YouTube what this video is all about. From there, those bits of information can help YouTube know what my video is about, and then YouTube can serve it to the best possible audience. If you’re searching for how to gain subscribers, SEO is a major key takeaway! Taking the time to build out keywords and find relevant search terms/phrases that your audience may be searching for can really help grow your channel and help you reach new people to grow your subscribers. Another way that I've seen success with growing my YouTube channel has been through adding calls to action (or CTAs) at the start and end of every video. This engages my audience to follow me on Instagram, subscribe to my channel, like a video, sign up for my mailing list, check out a sponsor, and more. It provides my subscribers with another opportunity to check out more of my stuff and to get to know me better. Plus, it helps them stay in the loop with all things Lucie! A major tip I have for creators is to make sure you are in the right mindset as you begin your YouTube journey. I think that to have a sustainable business on YouTube, you need to make sure you're making video content for the right reasons. Chasing views and likes and worrying about how your latest video performed will NOT lead to a positive outcome. You need to keep creating content for the art form and purely because you love telling stories and connecting with people. Here’s the thing, while I love creating content and making videos on YouTube, I like MYSELF and my REAL life more. Remember...this is just the Internet! Come at this with the right intentions, and everything else will fall into place. I hope this helps you grow on youtube in 2021 So want to work together 1-on-1?
