 Before this video even starts, I want to say that it is a lot harder and it takes a lot longer to grow a non-niche channel But your happiness and what you want to make should not be the decision of what content you want to make You kind of just have to understand what you want out of this But these are my tips on how to get out there and how to have people become invested in you and want to watch you for you Hi guys, welcome back to my channel today's video I'm going to be teaching you how to grow a non-niche channel as you can see my channel is a mess as some people might put it I feel what I want and I've always stuck by that because I want to do what I want to do and I want people to subscribe for me So today I'm going to be sharing with you tips and tricks on how to get your channel out there And hopefully you'll take something away from this video This is also a super fun video because I'm doing a collab with Annie Dubay here on YouTube by now She probably has hit 50,000 subscribers. So I want to congratulate her. She has worked so hard and I guess without further ado I'm just going to let her tell you more about herself. Hey guys Annie here I am so excited to finally be doing this collab with Alex. We've been talking about this for so long I'm so glad we're finally doing it. If you guys are coming on to Alex's channel from my channel Then please be sure to subscribe to her channel. I love her and her personality so much I'm sure you guys will just as much and if you guys are one of Alex's subscribers I've never seen my face before then hi, my name is Annie over on my channel I talk all things YouTube growth tips tricks and strategies and for my part of our collab over on my channel I'm going to be giving you guys some tips tricks and methods on how you can basically stand out and get noticed more as a Smaller newer youtuber on the big platform a big world that is YouTube So I hope to see you guys over there and enjoy Alex's video So after you watch this video make sure to go check out her channel So the first tip I have for you is trending topics and timing you have to publish your video on a specific topic at a certain time And the algorithm will push out your video Annie talks about this a lot But it is so important and my first-hand account with this is my Micastoffin video It has over 1.6 million views. I swear I think is because of the timing I was uploading when a lot of people were uploading and also a lot of people were searching for it Another good trending topic that I didn't really follow or do anything with but a lot of people getting traction from the Letting Starbucks baristas pick my drink for a day That's a great example of timing and a trending topic. The next tip I have for you is Titles so for a non-niche channel you need to make your titles either searchable or clickbait if you're doing a vlog You have to entice someone to want to click on the video if you're Doing a vlog and you're dying your hair You're not gonna just put the title as hair vlog. No, you need it more enticing dark brown hair to bleach blonde hair Something like Drastic something that will make someone want to click on the video you need to give the person a reason to click on the video This goes for all youtubers across the platform You've got to have a passion for making videos You should have the mindset That people would want to watch any sort of video that you put out because of you Because you're the person that they're subscribing to whether I do a review whether I make an adoption video whether I make a Luxury unboxing I want you to want to watch me not just because of the purse Not just because of this that are the other thing I want to build that connection with you establish like a personal connection You have to have the mindset of wanting someone to want to watch you Because they like you go off of that if you're a non-miche channel You're going to take a long time to grow It is taking me a while to grow and that's totally fine But because I have passion and because I don't want to ever feel like oh, I don't want to make another adoption video Or oh, I don't want to make another fitness video. I never want to get to that point So I just want to put it out there It's gonna take you longer But if you have passion and you are persistent then it's going to come to you also with that passion You can see it and you can feel it through the camera So if I was only doing one sort of video and I wasn't liking it You would definitely see it through the lens It would definitely come across on camera that I did not like what I was doing. You've got to love what you do Okay, so I'm going to read this tip off of my phone because I feel like I wrote it out so well Your goal should be getting certain videos on the Google search page So you're gonna find a product that doesn't have a lot of reviews or information about it people in general Are curious so they will search something on the internet They'll search the name of it and your video will be number one or number two on the Google page Which is awesome people from an external source will find your channel And if they like your personality going back to your personality and you through the camera They will see that and they might like your personality and you will get subscribers So I have a few examples here of videos that I have ranked pretty high on Google search This isn't YouTube. This isn't your ranking on YouTube It could be a ranking on YouTube and I believe it has something to do with that But I'm strictly talking about when you Google something your video is number one or number two So you can Google any of these things and my video will pop up Which is pretty cool to say none nonetheless, but Some examples would be the health ish water bottle the next video was my highest performing video for a very long time I believe it has over 200,000 views and it was about biox4 biox4 is advertised here on YouTube A lot of the time during the new year and a lot of people are searching for it And my video is ranked number one which you know a funny thing is that video was a throwaway video Which I just posted because I had nothing else to post which I don't really recommend doing that But I did it and it's one of my highest performing videos So you just never know the next and final example I have is the clothing resistance bands I did not see any reviews on them and I wanted to try them out So I decided to buy the product try it out and do a review and I'm probably ranked I believe number two on the Google search how to get your video ranked on Google and YouTube is all Thanks to a really good tool that I personally use. I just use the free version but I've heard of the pro version is amazing I will have a link down below. I do have an affiliate link. So if you want to purchase for me, that's super awesome If not, that's fine. It is called TubeBuddy and Annie is a pro at TubeBuddy. She's worked with TubeBuddy She knows all the ins and outs. I'm no pro at it But it's definitely helped me with my channel and ranking But I highly recommend you check out TubeBuddy because I really believe in that product Just knowing how important it is to get your video ranked in search No matter if you're a niche channel or you're not a niche channel. It's very important moving on The next tip is get people invested in your life. Ask yourself Why should they care about you? Because you are not a niche channel. You're not teaching them one thing. You're not just showing them one thing You're not just talking about outfits and makeup. You know, why should they want to watch you get personal? You don't have to get too personal like I don't share everything The more personal you get and the more invested someone feels the more they will want to click Take Trisha Paytas for example I don't really watch her videos But she has a lot of people invested in her life and what she's doing and the reason why she makes videos on like Crying on her back and floor that someone broke up with her, you know, we can all relate to that and she's getting really personal So that is one way you can really grow as a non-niche person Get people involved in you in your life. The next tip I have for you. I like to call anchor videos So start a series on your channel a good series that I've started is my workout journey anchor videos are great So pick one day out of the week and just do a themed video So every Friday, I like to call it like my fitness Friday and I post an update and what I did that week fitness wise Like what exercises I did how bad did I eat like I ate a whole bag of trisket start a Series or videos to anchor people to want to come back. This isn't limiting your content It's just making a consistent theme throughout the week. The next tip I have for you is really dumb Some of you might be like Alex every youtuber says this Consistency consistency is really important. There's a lot of family channels out there that are boring Like I'm not gonna lie. All right, and some people think my videos are boring There's some videos of mine that I think is boring But because people can expect something on a certain day, they will watch which is insane But if you can daily vlog if you don't be a niche channel Then at least if you post every day people will start to notice that right and you'll become a part of their daily routine Once you're part of someone's daily routine people like routine So once they are like, oh, I know Alex's gonna post on Monday at 7 then they're gonna be like Oh, well, that's my routine every Monday night after my dinner. I'm gonna watch an Alex Jane video Get in people's routine post every other day post every day post three times a week Whatever it is get in their routine I'm just gonna speed through these three little mini tips that kind of go all together But number one comment on small youtubers channels when I was around 3000-2000 subscribers. I was always commenting. Don't say by the way, I'm a small youtuber sub for sub Don't do that. You might get your channel deleted, which we don't want just say something positive about the video Number two use metadata So I don't know the best way I can put this but when you're gonna export your video And it's like where do you want to export and then you have if there's a date? I'll take a screenshot and I'll put it there. I actually learned this tip from Annie So shout out to Annie for this, but you're gonna put like tags and related things into that little box That say tags before you even export the video so it's kind of like words and target words are already embedded in the video and Your computer already knows that so I don't know if that actually works But I've been doing it and I've had some success and number three giveaways when I was around 1000-2000-3000 I was trying to get to 5000 subscribers I would always do giveaways and giveaways can be super simple You could do a back-to-school giveaway. You could do an Amazon target gift card You could do any sort of giveaway But showing appreciation to your subscribers is amazing and they'll feel really appreciated So I do recommend doing giveaways. Just be careful. Make sure you're following YouTube's guidelines You cannot pay to enter a giveaway Entering a giveaway needs to be free. So I'm just gonna put that out there But giveaways helped me a lot the last and final tip that I have for you about growing a non-niche channel This is probably my most important tip that I can give you Thumbnails, thumbnails are important along with titles obviously, but I'm just gonna read this because again I'm a lot more organized when I just read something off of my phone because I have notes So my channel has many thumbnail styles as you guys can see again It's a mess. It's Alex if you want to create the content you want to make you got to make sure that the target audience of That niche will like or be drawn to the thumbnail Okay So going a little further into this a haul video would have a different thumbnail than a vlog and a tutorial Thumbnail would have a different thumbnail than a story time So you as a non-niche person needs to target target your video of that specific niche to that niche community So I hope you guys have found this video helpful at all if you have any other tips questions Leave them in the comments down below. Don't forget to check out Annie's video. I know you will like it She's probably a lot more organized than I am But it's these were my tips for growing a non-niche channel because I do whatever the heck I want on here And it has taken me a long time But I've never fallen out of love with doing this and I don't want you to ever feel like you only have to do one thing So anyway, give this video a thumbs up Don't forget to subscribe to my channel and I'll see you guys in my next video.
