How Do I Grow my Coding Channel?? (55 subs)

Hi all,

Very new to this community (Read: joined today) so first of all I'd like to introduce myself.

My name is Blade. I am a YouTuber & coder who makes online content trying to teach beginners in a simple way.

In two months I've gained 55 subs which I'm happy with as I expected less.
But now I find myself in a position of not knowing how to grow beyond this point.

Should I just post similar content and hope for growth & views?

PS: If anyone has input or feedback, my email is blade@aelo.io and the channel is called: AELO TECH

Thanks!

    Here are some general suggestions for you:

    1. Cross-promote your videos on TikTok, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
    2. Ask people to subscribe to your channel (you can ask once in the beginning and at the end.)
    3. Increase your uploading frequency
    4. Create clickbait thumbnails yourself by using Snappa or hire someone from Fiverr
    5. Engage with your audience by liking and replying to their comments. You can also ask for feedback to increase comments.
    6. Leverage pinned comment by adding timestamps, asking for feedback or link to other videos
    7. Check your YouTube analytics and compare numbers for different content to figure out what your audience is most interested in and create similar content in the future.
    8. When you are just starting out, try to create maximum content around a single keyword. Use a free keyword tool like KeywordTool.io, which is specific to YouTube, to look for the most searched keywords in the niche you’re looking to target. Also, do competitive analysis by using TubeBuddy.
    9. Use YouTube cards feature and place your recommended videos at the timeframe where most viewers are leaving your video. In this way, they will jump to another video of your channel.
    10. Add end screens to promote your other videos, Patreon link or another channel (it can be yours or of another person you are collaborating with)
    11. YouTube offers a great feature for adding your logo to the right bottom of the video. Instead of adding a logo, place the subscribe image to get more subscribers.
    12. According to YouTube, the first 15 seconds of your video is key. So don't waste it by making a 15 seconds intro. Instead, use a 5-second window for your intro.

    Lastly, I am curating a newsletter from Indiehackers.com with a dedicated section for YouTubers. You can signup for it at indieletters.com
