Here are 16  tips on how to grow your YouTube Channel FAST

1.Be passionate about your niche
If you’re not excited about the topics you’re making videos about you’ll soon lose interest and motivation when making future videos. 

2. Create a list of  video topics your audience wants to watch
One way to find out what topics your audience likes is to use the auto suggest feature on YouTube or Google. When you begin typing a keyword into the search box YouTube will show you a bunch of suggestions.

3. Set a goal for your  channel
Setting a goal will help you get to where you want to go. For example if your goal is to achieve 10000 subscribers by the end of the year, make a plan to upload videos on a regular basis.

4. Create a series of videos around one topic
For example if your seed keyword is dog training, create a series of videos based on the topic of dog training. 

5. Create playlists containing related videos
For example a sub topic of dog training may be “how to stop your dog from biting”  Place all videos related to this topic in their own playlist so a viewer will continue watching several videos in a row. 

6. Create engaging videos
YouTube rewards videos where viewers watch the entire video, named retention rate. Therefore create high quality content that people want to watch. Also try to break up the content by adding transitions, graphics and music. 

7. Add a strong call to action
If you want to get viewers to subscribe, add an end screen or annotation. Don’t just tell viewers to subscribe but also give them a reason.

8. Optimize your videos for search
If you want your videos to be discovered in Google or YouTube search, make sure you include your keywords in the title, description and tags of your video. Also upload a transcription of your video content so people who can’t hear or understand what you are saying will still be able to grasp your content.

9. Get viewers to continue watching related videos
YouTube rewards channels with higher rankings if a viewer continues watching more videos on your channel. Add an end screen to your video that includes videos related to the video they just watched.

10. Brand your channel
Add a channel banner that makes it easy for first time visitors to see what your channel is about. Include a description on your about page that encapsulates the content of your channel. Also include links on on the channel banner to your social media sites and website.

11. Organize your channel home page
Organize the different topics (playlists) of your channel into sections on your channel home page to make it easy for visitors to discover other content they may be interested in.

12. Brand your thumbnails
YouTube displays a thumbnail of your video in the search results. Visitors are more likely to click on an image than a plain text link. To make your thumbnail stand out from other thumbnails include your face or use colors and graphics that are unique to your channel.

13, Build a community 
Your YouTube channel will thrive if you engage with the people that subscribe to your channel and leave comments on your videos. Therefore reply to your comments by answering their questions and suggesting other videos to watch on your channel.

14. Promote your videos
Every time you upload a new video make sure you promote it on social media, embed the video on your own website and email your list. Reach more people by re-purposing  your video content. For example  transcribe your video and upload the PDF on document 
sharing sites.

15. Be consistent
The more videos you upload the more views and subscribers you’ll get. Make a schedule to upload a video at least every week so visitors will keep returning to watch the new videos you’ve created.

16. Track the performance of your videos
Visit youtube analytics to view the retention rate of your videos. If you see that viewers are dropping off early on in your video, try to make your future videos more engaging. 

Bonus Tip
Have fun by creating videos on topics you and your audience cares about. Try adding different elements (ie graphics, text, music, transitions)  to see what works best. You’ll also make many new friends along the way as you engage with your audience.
