In this video you'll learn exactly how to get LOTS of views on YouTube in 2020. These are the same strategies that I used to take my brand new channel from scratch…to 180k+ views/month. With that, here are the YouTube tips I cover in this video: First, I'll show you why Audience Interaction signals are a big part of YouTube's algorithm. Then, you'll see how to use them to get more views. Next, you'll see how to promote your videos in online communities, which is an untapped source of views. Our third step is to optimize for Session Time. Many believe this to be YouTube's #1 ranking factor right now (and I agree with them). With that, I show you why "Video Keywords" help your videos rank in Google search. Obviously, optimizing your videos for SEO is a big part of getting views on your videos. But many people forget that rankings videos in Google is also important. Then it's time for the PAS Method. This is a 3-step process that I use to optimize my channel page. Then you'll see how to use cards to send people to videos on your channel with the most potential (when done right, this single step can help you get 1000 views per day on YouTube). Next, you'll learn how to share your videos on social media the right way. You already know that you should promote your videos on social media. But there's a right (and wrong) way to do it. And now it's time for a little-known technique called "SVO". It's kind of like YouTube SEO, but in many ways, even better. Last up, we have your video title. You probably already know that your thumbnail is great way to get more views on YouTube. But your title also matters. And I end the video showing you how to get more YouTube views using a simple strategy: publishing your videos at strategic times. SUBSCRIBE to get higher rankings and more traffic!

In this video I'm going to show you how to get more YouTube subscribers in 2019 (FAST). In fact, I used the 9 strategies in this video to grow my channel to over 100k subscribers. With that, here's what you'll learn in today's video: First, I'll show you the "cheat code" that helped me generate 69.2% more subscribers from my watermark. Our second technique is the "TOP Formula". Your YouTube channel trailer can be a huge driver of new subscribers… if it's done the right way. The TOP Formula helps ensure that your trailer actually converts. Next, we have the "No Comment Left Behind" strategy. This strategy turns people that are on the fence about subscribing into loyal subs. The 4th tip from today's video is: "The Winner Takes All" technique. Here's where you identify your best performing videos (in terms of getting subscribers). Then, you feature those videos strategically on your channel… and in your videos. The 5th strategy is to position your channel in a way that helps your channel stand out and grab attention (this is especially important if you're in a competitive niche). Fortunately, this is much easier than it sounds. Then, I show you how to get more subscribers on YouTube with "Next Videos". As a bonus, these also increase your total session time and video views, which helps with video SEO. Oh man, #7 is a controversial one. I won't spoil it here. But let me just say that most videos that show you how to get more subscribers on YouTube don't cover this. Then, it's time for strategy #8: improve audience retention. Audience retention is a big deal for SEO. And it also impacts the number of subscribers that you get. Finally, we have optimizing your actual channel page… which is an underrated part of getting YouTube subscribers and views. And I cap things off with a bonus tip that's working really well for me right now. SUBSCRIBE to get higher rankings and more traffic!
