When you started your YouTube channel from 0, how did you promote it?

[PortlioUK]

Cross-post it to your personal Facebook/linkedIn pages (if relevant), make sure to use your YouTube account to like, comment and generally engage with other people who have similar interests or similar niche as you, and make sure your YouTube channel is completely set up and optimised (make sure all videos have clear header, have a profile photo etc…). These things take time – out of interest, what niche is your YouTube channel? General lifestyle or a specific business?

honestly i didn’t promote much at the start

i just focused on making videos people would actually watch all the way through. once one video clicked, it started getting pushed on its own

early on it’s more about figuring out what keeps people watching than trying to push it everywhere

low views are normal in the beginning, it usually takes a few tries before something picks up

I’ve never been interested in promoting my channel, especially thinking about making money from it. I’ve always linked personal videos of travel or personal things, and I didn’t create it to make money. So, yes, I linked it every now and then on social media, but it didn’t help. To be seen and followed, you have to say or do certain things, and that’s not my case, so I’m not interested in getting into the YouTube business.
