 So how do we grow YouTube channel? So I'm gonna give you a couple of ideas here. So first of all, I think, you know, I think it is probably worth for you to go onto YouTube and search how to grow YouTube channel because the people whose videos come up at the top are probably doing a good job of that. Do you see what I mean? Like they know what they're talking about. That's why their videos are at the top when you search how to grow YouTube. So I do recommend all of you do that because whenever you search is gonna be whatever strategy is working at the moment. But I'll tell you what I have noticed having been on YouTube now for, you know, something like 10 years and granted, I've grown my channel very slowly. So please take my advice with a grain of salt. But I have, of course, had some success with YouTube. You know, I have my biggest video is almost three million views. So I have a video like that and I have some videos that are tens of thousands. I have some videos that are hundreds of thousands and some videos have tens of thousands of views. So I do know a little bit about how to make certain videos go viral. But just to kind of the short answer to this is to grow YouTube channel, you need viral videos. So really the answer is the best question is how do you make a video viral? Because they are viral videos growing YouTube channel. Okay, so how do you make a YouTube viral? How do you make videos that get watched more? So a couple of tools for tips for you here. One is if you can interview famous people, okay, you will have a viral video. If you can interview Brene Brown. Now, of course, Brene Brown is not gonna say yes to any of us who are watching this probably because she's too busy. She's interviewing the top, you know, elites of the world. So, but still, if you can interview the most famous person you can get a hold of, okay? So it could just be someone like me, right? Maybe I'm famous in your mind or I'm famous in your field. But I think it's better to interview people who are famous in your niche, in your field. So in other words, people who are being searched on YouTube. So if you look, really, I mean, I think all of us have at least one person that we can reach that's like that. So look at your LinkedIn contacts list. Look at your Facebook friends. Look at you, who's following you on Instagram? Who's following, not who you're following because they might not care. They might not care to respond but who's following you, right? So look at the people whose attention you have and who is the most famous among all those people, especially that's related to your audience, related to your niche, then, you know, and make more videos with cute animals. No, then interview that person because that, so, you know, interesting example and recently, a recent example for me is I interviewed Danny Gardner, Danny Da and I Gardner and she has been getting increasingly great SEO reach in the past couple of years. People are searching something and then they're finding her and then now people are searching her name. And because I interviewed her a couple years ago, almost every month at least one or two email subscribers, which by the way, like someone who watches YouTube video and then bothers to go to my website and subscribe to my email, that's like several steps, right? So like that's like if for every one email subscriber that came from YouTube, there's probably 10 or 20 or 30 others who discovered me in that way, do you see what I mean? So like at least one or two a month will tell me they discovered from my email newsletter will tell me they discovered me because I interviewed Danny Gardner. Do you see what I mean? Like Danny is now more famous than me in terms of the YouTube search. So not only should, you know, you might say, George, I don't know any famous people even in my niche. No, no, no, we all know people who have a bigger audience than us in our niche. So if you just interview people with a bigger audience than you in your related area, they are probably rising stars. And in the next few years, people will be searching their name and find your video. And that's really, and that's not just with Danny Gardner. I've also interviewed several other well-known people in my field and also in related fields and people find me through those videos very, very often. So that's one. The second one is kind of related, I would say, is basically trending topics. If you could make videos about topics that are hot topics within your industry, is there a particular issue or question or problem that people are talking about recently in your industry or among your clients? You notice people asking you this kind of question. Okay, the simplest question is, okay, I'm gonna ask you two questions right now. One question again is what is a hot trend in your industry? Go ahead and comment below, chat below if you'd like. I'm actually talking to some of you who are live here. So I will call out a couple of ideas and they just pause this recording and see what ideas you all have. And thanks for those who are live here and chatting ideas here. Angie says, how to deal with pain and birth? That's been hot for 5,000 years, 10,000 years. Not just hot now, but yes, it is going to be a trending topic always, right? Let's see here, Catherine's is inclusivity and anti-racism, absolutely. I would say past five, seven years, especially, right? Let's see here. Shretta says liver and colon cleansing, which can be harmful in her opinion. Wonderful. It's like if you can make a trending topic and give your controversial opinion, that's even better than just making a trending topic that says what everyone else is saying. Do you see what I mean? Very, very good point. Let's see what else is standing up to me. Daniel says human design and gene keys. Absolutely. Gosh, my wife's been getting into that for the past couple of years and it's just getting more and more. So absolutely anything about that. In fact, funny thing, Danny Gardner, the one I mentioned earlier, she got famous in SEO because people were Googling human design and like a particular human design type and marketing. And she had written an article about that or made a video and it's like suddenly she noticed it was blowing up. She hadn't done anything special other than chanced upon the right keywords at the right time. So trending topic does that. And YouTube SEO is much easier than Google SEO. Google SEO takes six to 18 months for Google to really pick it up and have finding first page results. Sometimes it can be faster but most SEO experts say six to 18 months on Google. YouTube, one to two weeks. Yeah, so you see how much faster it is. So that's why YouTube is much easier to test topics and things like that. Gregory says toxic masculinity, which is the opposite of Gregory Vahanian, right? So yes, toxic masculinity is definitely been big these days. Catherine says learning to work with trauma, huge. I would say past five to 10 years. It's gotten more and more and more important. So notice you can see trending topics, hot topics by looking at what your niche makes others in your industry. If you see more than one person, so that's really the simplest way to find trending topics. Look at your niche mates. Now I don't like to say competitors, like to say niche mates because niche mates are your potential partners. Your mirrors, people to learn from. Look at if more than one of your niche mates is making a post or a topic or a video about something, the same thing. If more than one person is doing that, that's called a trending topic. Now three or four or five well definitely it's a trending topic. So take notice of that. Now the second question I have for you is, have you had, excuse me, I had to cough there, have you had more than one client or audience member ask you a question about a particular topic? So think back to the last three clients you worked with, not the last three but the last several clients you worked with. Have they all come to you about a particular issue or question or goal? And if you don't have clients yet, have you noticed people asking who are your potential audience members? The same question that is within your field of expertise. Go ahead and comment below if you'd like particularly those of you who are live here. All right, and thanks to those of you who are chatting below here. You know, let's see, Ginny, her business is Soul Pet Connections says getting dogs to stop barking. Yeah, great. Well, that's if multiple people have asked you that that's definitely, you know, fun things. I would say how to get my cat to stop meowing because the dog is much more easily trainable as you can see, buddy is a very, very good boy. My cat's a little bit less more individualistic there but let's see another one. Carrie says, how do I regain my faith? Yeah, wow. Yeah, if more than one person asked you that that's definitely something you can make videos. I mean, any of these topics, dog, stop barking, regain my faith, these are things you can make videos about from multiple angles. Of course. I mean, how to regain my faith? You could have 25 videos just about that from different angles. Same thing with dog stop barking. Oh, what's the root cause of dogs barking? What is one tip that's often shared but doesn't work in my opinion? Or what's something people say, but I think it's harmful for the relationship with a dog? You know, like different angles on every single one of these. Catherine says self-care when you're an activist. Absolutely. You know, a lot more activism is happening these days and people are burning out, right? So these are different ways of finding trending topics and questions that are much more likely to get your video popular. Now, once you have those trending topics or ideas, the next thing to do, and I'll let's go to Google right now for this, the next thing you do is to go to Google, Google, go to Google Trends, so trends.google.com and search that keyword and see what you can come up with. So how to get dog to stop barking. Okay, let's go ahead and press enter there. All right, and basically I would advise you to do past five years and see if it's going up or down. Oh, this is going slightly up. So that's actually a good topic, but if you see something going down, down, down, down, down, it might be okay for you to make a video at this point, but more and more it's gonna be less and less searched. Let's scroll down and see here related queries. How to get my dog to stop barking? If you move your mouth, if it's very long, but if you move your mouse over this and wait, you'll see that it says, explore how do I get the real question? How do I get my dog to stop barking at strangers? Question mark. Literally, if you make a video with that and the title, people are actually searching this and people are more likely to find your video as a result. How to stop dog barking at neighbors. You see, these could be different videos or it could be the same video and you could do strangers slash neighbors. My dog barks at everything that passes by. You see what I mean? These are actual searches that people care about and at the bottom here, let me go ahead and just, sorry. I'm sorry, I'm just in my video. At the bottom here, you can keep going to even more queries. Okay, these are less relevant, right? Anti-bark caller. I mean, you could have a video about your opinion of anti-bark callers. Maybe it's, you think it's helpful, maybe you think it's harmful. It's worth talking about that, right? And then by the way, if you click on any of these, it'll further, it says breakout, which means if you click on them, now you get even more ideas, right? You scroll down. Oh, actually, no, I'm sorry, there's nothing else here. But if you click on various other ones, sometimes there's other ideas. Like for example, something that's a shorter keyword like anti-bark caller, look at this. It's plus 140%, which means it's rising. These are rising topics. It's getting more and more popular. So I click on this and then by scroll down, there's probably, yep, some related, not that many, but some related things there. But instead of rising, you can also look at top, which means top right now that's top, not necessarily going in a good direction, but these are very popular as well. See, and there's many more queries there to look at. So again, Google Trends is good. And if you are looking for something and you're not finding a Google Trend, so for example, if I do, if I start over on Google Trends, I'm gonna go to Google Trends homepage and say human design and gene keys is probably a less searched term. You see, there's not enough here. So it's like, well, it's not helpful. So what I would do then is probably go to Google itself and just search this on Google and see if I can find shorter tail keywords. Maybe I'll just go with human design, right? Human design or gene key on Google Trends and that might be more helpful. So I'm just gonna say human design, okay? And search this. And if I look at past interest over time, a past five years, it's probably going up. I bet it's going up. Oh, it's definitely going up. It's, you know, this is good. And then scroll down. Human design is Joe Genozoe. All right, now this is interesting. Okay. Remember I said, you know, you interview famous people and people are searching for them. It's basically, I'm not saying famous, people who are being searched. So if this Genozoe person is being searched, you should make a video about, I don't, I have no idea who Genozoe is, right? I don't know if this is even relevant. But if it is relevant, because you could talk about someone who's being searched. Now, if it's not someone who is, if it's not someone who's famous, they might find your video. You should probably just say good things about them. Okay. If it's someone like stratospheric who's never gonna watch it, like, I can, I could talk shit about Tony Robbins or Brené Brown. If I genuinely believe, if I have genuine critics, like negative criticism about them, that I think will be helpful for my audience, I'll talk shit about them all day long. Again, if it's genuine and authentic and helpful for my audience, this is why you shouldn't trust Tony Robbins. I don't, I'm just using that name as a famous person or this is why you shouldn't trust Oprah, you know, whatever, right? Because they're never gonna watch my video. They don't care. You know, they're never gonna watch my video. And if it helps my audience and they're like, that's a really good point. And people are searching those names. You're gonna find my video. You see what I mean? So famous people, stratospheric, famous, you could talk shit if it's authentic and if it's helpful. If it's someone who might find your video, just talk nice things about them if it's authentic, right, and helpful. So, and the last thing I'll say is that this is mainstream YouTube advice. Title and thumbnail are the most important parts of what the YouTube algorithm cares about because that's what human beings care about. Before they click on your video, they see your video suggested and they'll click on your video based on the thumbnail image, the preview image. Is it interesting enough? Is it on the topic that they care about? Which is of course, the title also is about that. So just be aware of how the titles and thumbnails are being in your industry. What are the popular videos in the title and study them and see how can I borrow that advice? So I hope this helps.
