We don’t think we need to introduce you to YouTube in this article. Instead, if you’re reading this article, we’re 99% sure that you already knew about YouTube. Today, YouTube is the 2nd most visited website in the world and the #1 video sharing platform on the internet.

There’s no wonder, YouTube is the hub for almost any kind of video you want. Even without this platform, the internet will be considered empty. There are estimated over 8 billion videos exist on YouTube and of course they are not made by YouTube itself. Those are 3rd party creators who make videos and publish them on the YouTube platform so the audience can see their content.

You can create your YouTube channel for multiple purposes, such as for the promotion of your business, showcasing your talent, to spread knowledge to other people and it could be any reason. However, because of the massive competition on YouTube, it is an extremely difficult and time taking process to grow on YouTube and earn a lot of money.

That’s why in this article, we’ve written an ultimate guide on how to grow on YouTube relatively fast in 2021. So let’s get into it!

Why should you read this guide only?

We know they’re hundreds of guides available on Google. Even if you search Google “how to grow on YouTube”, you’ll find millions of results. But why this guide only?

If you look at such articles, they’re more close to a how-to guide instead of real insights to grow on YouTube. They just tell you what YouTube is, how to make your channel and some basic tips that are almost useless. Even most of them are based on old YouTube policies.

However, this guide isn’t any kind of how-to or tutorial. We’ll just focus on the point and give you real insights to grow on YouTube according to the latest YouTube algorithm policies. Also, some of them are shared by other successful YouTube creators with 1+ million subscribers.

So let’s get into it!

Do not work ONLY for money on YouTube

One thing that we want to tell you never works for money on YouTube. If your only purpose is to earn money from YT, it’s better to start another job. Believe us, 99% of people always fail on this platform, because their only purpose was to earn money and become rich from this platform. YouTube doesn’t work like that. Yeah, we know YouTube pays very well, even though it’s one of the highest paying platforms and the only platform where 68% of successful creators with over 1+ million subscribers are earning thousands of dollars monthly.

But they all started YouTube because they had a talent and they wanted to showcase it to the public and not to earn money. In simple language, YouTube isn’t for you if you just want to earn money then it’s better to find another job. It’s built for those who have talent and work to gain popularity and they earn money as a side effect of their work.

Learn Your Talent

If you visit YouTube, you’ll see most of the videos are made by talented and skilled creators. For example, suppose a vlogging channel, do you think it’s easy to hold and talk to a camera all day in front of the public? No it’s not, it also requires skills of what to speak, how to talk, and what to include in your blog that the audience wants. Take another example of roasting channels, they don’t just speak random words on their videos.

It requires talent and skills to write a funny script in a way that the audience enjoys. Moreover, the style of speaking in roasting videos is another big challenge. This means to say, every popular content you watch on YouTube is made by a talented and skilled creator who knows his job well. That’s why before working on this platform, and if you want to grow on YouTube, find the talent and skill that you have and other people will enjoy when they watch your content.

You Don’t Need to Purchase Professional Equipments for YouTube at Starting

Of course, your audience comes to watch the content in your video and not your setup, background,for video results. Believe us, there is no need to purchase any kind of expensive DSLR, microphone, lighting,g or powerful PC in your initial YouTube journey. We’ve seen many successful creators who started their channel with just a normal smartphone.

Even the most successful Asian individual channels started their journey with just a basic set of equipment. So you don’t need to purchase any kind of professional and expensive equipment to grow on YouTube. Your growth is completely dependent on your talent and on the quality of the content!

Don’t be a Sheep!

It’s an old saying that those who work like sheep, can never succeed in their life. Before jumping into the details, let us explain what this idiom means. If you have ever seen a flock of sheep, then you might know that a sheep always follows what other sheep are doing. They don’t do anything of their mind and just follow the sheep standing in front of them. If one sheep jumps from a building, other sheep will also jump from the building. If one is eating food, others will also eat food even if they aren’t hungry.

On YouTube, don’t work as a sheep. This means to say never create the same content which others are already creating. Believe us, in this way, you can never grow on YouTube. If you see notice on YouTube, every successful creator has their own uniqueness. No creator copy’s the concept of another creator. Of course, why would you think viewers will watch the copied content when they already have the source to see genuine content? Copying and working as a sheep on YouTube is the biggest reason why 90% of people fail on YouTube. If you look at the world of YouTube, you will see that each creator has his style and uniqueness that no one else has.

Create Quality Content

Content quality means creating a video that your audience can enjoy and not get bored with your video. Of course, viewers are not bound to watch your video, nor they get paid for watching your video. So, the only reason why they’ll watch your video is if they enjoy and get entertained. You can’t force them to watch your videos, but if you provide them with quality content, your audience will ask you to create more content.

No matter how expensive and quality equipment you use, if you can’t create quality content the audience wants, you can never grow on this platform. YouTube is the platform where artists create their content, right? And an artist is known for his talent and skills. So, if you’re working on YouTube and want to grow, make sure to be an artist and master yourself in the skill on which you’re making videos.

Keep an eye on your competitors

When you work on platforms, there’re already thousands of competitors like you who are creating the same content as you. To grow faster, you can have a look at other competitors. We’re not saying to see their subscribers and views, we mean to check the detailed insights of your competitors. For this purpose, you can try TubeBuddy and VidIQ. Why TubeBuddy and VidIQ?

Never use Clickbait

Click Beat is basically a form of text or image that is used to mislead visitors by showing thumbnails to attract the user’s attention. But inside the content, there’s nothing that was shown in the thumbnail. This strategy was used by fake creators to gain visitors and to gain clicks. However, this type of clicks and audience can never be used to grow your channel the right way. Moreover, it’s obvious when viewers open the video and if they don’t find anything that was shown in the thumbnail, they’ll close your video right away. You’ll also get dislikes, which forces the YouTube algorithm, tode-rank your video. In conclusion, don’t trick the system! It can give you temporary success but doesn’t last long. That’s why I always use the right method to grow on YouTube.

Create Content on Trending Topics

For this step, first of all,l you’ve to look from which country you’re getting most of your audience. Then choose the topic which is trending in that country. Of course, only create on the trend that falls in your niche. Suppose, you make cooking videos, new technology releases in your country, and you make a review video on it.

Will it work? Obviously no, it will never work, because your niche is cooking, not technology. So always create content on-trend that fits with your niche. If you create multiple niches in one topic, it will destroy your chance and the YouTube algorithm will never let you grow.

In Last, Have Patience

Don’t think that you’ll publish a video today and tomorrow you’ll get hundreds of thousands of views. Getting successful on YouTube might be the most time-consuming growth as compared to any other platform. You can say that YouTube is the best platform if you want to test your patience. Many successful YouTube creators have succeeded on YouTube after facing this situation. You will have to wait at least 6–15 months to see the results and to grow on YouTube.

Remember one thing, sooner or later, hard work always pays off!

“A dream does not become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work.”
