Tips For How To Get More YouTube Views

Ask any creator who is active on the platform and they will quickly confirm that increasing real, organic YouTube views and growing a dedicated subscriber base takes time, skill, and dedication. However, with the right audience development strategy, tools, and mindset, any video creator can build an engaged fan base when they understand what YouTube viewers want to watch, and what they will keep returning to YouTube to watch more of.

Making content you are passionate about is just the first step. You need to know how to reach the right audience and get your videos discovered. Remember - viewers love YouTube and will spend HOURS watching the videos they really care about. Understand what your audience wants and double-down on those videos so viewers will flock to your channel.

Even though there are over 50 million channels on YouTube, there are still incredible opportunities for every single creator to build a dedicated audience, generate a huge number of views and subscribers, and reach out to over 1.9 Billion users who visit YouTube every day. But to build an authentic strategy around subscriber and view growth it's important to remember that:

YouTube wants the viewer to stay on the platform as long as possible

If your content keeps viewers around (on your own channel or elsewhere on the site) YouTube may start to promote your content in search results or 'Suggested Videos'

More exposure on YouTube should lead to more views and a higher subscriber growth rate

You can increase your chance of YouTube suggesting your content by increasing your Watch Time and Click-Through Rates

All the above takes knowledge, patience, and dedication
