 Freedom! We have a correspondent that wants to talk to you about something, uh, probably. So, uh, hang on. Go ahead and talk to him. Wait, no, don't talk to him. That would be weird. Um, listen to him. Can't believe I made it through the entire video without an elementary, my dear Watson, joke. Don't know why I'm doing this, to be honest. Every time I come on this channel, Anthony just jokes about my name. So you've only been on this channel once? Still every time, though, isn't it? Cheer boy, Watson here. Welcome to another tip sesh, as I like to call it. Copyrighted. Today, we are focusing on social media, and I'm not talking YouTube. All right, I'm talking Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Tinder. Maybe not Tinder. Although that could work. Swipe left to subscribe. No, you just get blocked. Actually, don't do that. Now, it's all very well advertising yourself on YouTube with tags and good titles and things like that. But a lot of people don't look at YouTube for finding new content. They look at other social media platforms. For instance, Instagram. If you upload a lot of good photos, I don't know, you guys making videos, and then you put in the tag sort of hashtag YouTuber lifestyle and stuff like that fringe, then people will eventually pick up on these posts and they'll start finding your Instagram. And these are people that aren't even subscribed to your YouTube channel. These are new people that then start looking at your Instagram posts. And then they'll eventually see your Instagram bio and that will have your YouTube channel. So they're sort of finding you through Instagram instead of finding you through YouTube, thus putting you out there and getting you more exposure, more advertisement for your channel. I know for example, this has happened with Facebook where people upload snippets of their YouTube videos as a Facebook video, and they actually get a huge following on Facebook, which then transfers to YouTube views and YouTube subscribers when you then put your YouTube channel either in the post. So you could put a snippet of a video and then in the post to be like, if you want to see the full video, check it out on my channel. So you're sort of transferring your fans from Facebook to then YouTube. And also Facebook is really good for this because you can share videos on Facebook. Videos tend to go more viral on Facebook than they would with YouTube. So it definitely helps with advertising. In some cases people actually find that they were YouTubers and then they create this fan based on Facebook through people sharing their videos all the time that they eventually move cross-platform to just Facebook and they actually leave YouTube. Same with other social media platforms like you got a lot of these fitness bloggers or whatever that started out on YouTube creating videos and then they moved to Instagram to make us all depressed. So that's the win-win really, isn't it? Yeah. So that's how to get a following on social media to increase your YouTube views. But you can also reverse that. I'm talking annotations. I'm talking end cards. I'm talking channel arts, that was it. You know where you put your little social media in the banner at the top of your channel page? I mean, for instance, my end card is this one, right? Pretty good, right? Yeah? Well, I didn't make it. I stole it, all right? There's tons of free ones online. I think even the crib on freedom platform has that on their little forum thing that you can just get free end cards. So there's really no excuse, guys. You simply put all of your social media links, let's say at the end of the video and let your fan base know that they can also keep up with your life, not just on YouTube, but also on the different social media platforms. You need to understand here, guys, that people may like a video for the content, but the reason they subscribe is because they like you. Therefore they want to follow your life, not just through the camera lens on YouTube, but also through the different social media platforms. They want to know what you're thinking on Twitter. They want to know what you're posting on Instagram, things like that. It really aids you in creating this fan base. So what I would suggest is get these social media, be active on them, new posts every day, put your YouTube in the bio or on a post or a status, just so they know that they can check out your YouTube channel as well. Then advertise your social media to your current fan base on YouTube through the end cards, annotations, channel art, etc. And bam, you're one step closer to not just getting new subscribers, but getting new fans as well. Alright guys, thank you so much for watching. I hope that helped.
