• 5 tips for getting more YouTube subscribers (for free)

Take a look at our guide to creating a YouTube channel if you're just getting started. Before you dive into the tips below, you should understand the basics of your channel.

Here are our best practices, ranked from easiest to most complicated, for converting viewers into subscribers. It is best not to tackle everything at once. Implement one or two of these tips every week or for every new video you post.

1 Become a subscriber

This is as easy as it gets.

There are times when your audience simply needs to be reminded.

Would you consider asking for a subscription too salesy? Perhaps if you ask too often or too soon. However, a quick reminder to subscribe at the end of your video will just make it easier for your fans to follow you.

Be sure to tell your subscribers why they should subscribe to your channel. If you want the subscription, make sure you've provided useful information or made viewers laugh before you ask for it.

2 Explain your next project at the end of your video

It is an act of anticipation to subscribe to a YouTube channel. If you do your job well, viewers who have just seen what you're about will want more.

The most organic way to get subscribers is to hype your next video and explain why it should not be missed.

This requires a good understanding of your YouTube content schedule and knowing what to expect next. (We will discuss this in the future.)

3 Make sure your Google account is verified

YouTube users are by default able to upload videos of up to 15 minutes. You will need to verify your account if you want to create content longer than that.

Anyone who wants to create a professional channel should consider longer videos since they give you more options for content.

Follow the instructions at www.youtube.com/verify on your computer (not your mobile device).

You can upload videos up to 256GB or 12 hours long once you verify your account.

4 Build a community by interacting with your audience and making friends.

You're more likely to keep viewers watching your work if you build relationships with them. Engage them in conversation. Return the favor.

Having a famous YouTuber comment on your video is exciting, but who knows who will be famous next year. Connect with others and help each other grow. You know what I mean.

Furthermore, once you're connected, your audience will provide you with plenty of free content ideas for your next video. There's no need to take all of them.

5 Effectively brand your channels

Branding your channel is an effective way of letting viewers know who you are and what they can expect from you.

Illustrations for banners

Everyone who clicks on your YouTube banner is welcomed to your channel. This may be because they watched one of your videos. They may be interested in subscribing.

Let them know why they should stick around and where they are.
