Growing Your YouTube Channel: How to Take Advantage of Social Media

(Advantage of social media) Social media has become one of the most critical tools for growing your YouTube channel. There are many ways to use social media to promote your videos; Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are just a few places to upload content. 

But if you want some unique ideas, this article will show you how to take advantage of social media and grow your following on YouTube!

1. Share Links to Your Latest Video 

Social media is a great way to share links to your latest YouTube video on all of your social media profiles. This will increase the notoriety and visibility of your channel, drive more traffic to it, and help you get discovered by new viewers.

Add links to your latest video or blog post in the captions of all your photos on Instagram. This way, people will know you have a YouTube channel when they click on it and see that it’s not just an ordinary photo from their feed.

As mentioned at LinkIn Bio, you can embed multiple videos into your bio-URL, show your latest videos, and lead people to your YouTube channel.

This way, you can remind people that they’ve seen one of your videos before and encourage them to see it again.

You can also share bio links from within Twitter DMs with specific friends who have subscribed to you via email notifications when new content is published (see Tools).

You could even retweet someone else’s tweet mentioning how great one of your recent videos was, bringing more attention to both their account and yours!

2. Stay Interactive on social media

Participating in conversations on social media is an easy way to grow your following. This will help you get more followers and increase the number of views on your videos due to increased exposure.

Some social media platforms are better for this than others. For instance, Twitter is best used when tweeting a bio link to one of your most recent posts or live-streaming video content with other users.

YouTube can be great for engaging in conversations with those who love what they see from their favorite channels.

The other social media platforms are essential to use as well. Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat can be good for reaching a different audience that may not follow you on YouTube or Twitter. These apps are perfect for posting quick videos without the need of being live-streaming content.

3. Create Hashtags 

Hashtags are a great way to help people find your content on social media. For example, if you’re talking about video games and make videos related to the subject, then it makes sense for you to create hashtags like #videogames #gaming or even popular tags that are relevant such as #xbox

Hashtags also come in handy when you want to promote content – by using ones with lots of followers (popular topics), more people will see your posts/content.

The important thing is finding one with enough activity but not too many to find any post quickly.

-Don’t combine two unrelated topics into one hashtag – especially when they have different spellings.

4. Make Use of Social Media Influencers

Social media influencers are essential to get in touch with because they have a large following and can help promote your YouTube channel.

The only downside is that you don’t know how long they will be interested in promoting your content, so it’s best to make contact before you need them as well.

The way influencers work is by getting paid for their endorsement of the product or service on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter.

This means that when someone follows an influencer after being endorsed by one of these people, it creates more organic traffic to whichever site they support – including yours!

5. Promote your Posts

Platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram allow you to post your content daily. Whenever you create new videos or upload old ones, use these platforms to promote them!

This will keep your viewers engaged in what’s going on with their favorite channel, while also getting the word out about it. Paying for sponsored posts on these platforms is a great way to get your content in front of the right people.

YouTube also has built-in features for promotion, like end cards, which are static images at the end of videos with links. That should direct viewers back to the channel or other social media pages to subscribe and follow you.

6. Join Groups for YouTubers

Social media is one of the best ways to market yourself and grow your following. It’s also a great way to connect with other YouTubers!

There are tons of groups on Facebook where you can find like-minded creators or chat with people who have similar interests as you.

The internet is full of different websites that will help you find communities for all sorts of things, so it shouldn’t be hard to find something relevant to what you’re looking for.

If not, start your community page (Facebook) through pages that may interest others, such as ‘YouTube Communities.’

Once this is created, share it around on social media and invite anyone interested in joining. To get more attention to these types of sites, use tags related to the topic and ask others to answer.

7. Promoting Other YouTubers’ Work on your Social Media Pages

Promoting other YouTubers’ work builds a relationship and helps them to grow their channel.

It’s vital that you first keep up with YouTube content from people you follow so when they release something new, your followers will see it on your social media page and will more likely click through to watch the video.

The next step is to share other channels in relevant Facebook groups or Twitter threads where others talk about similar topics as the videos you would like your audience members to know of these new releases.

This way, those interested in the subject will see your post and might be encouraged by what they discover there to check out some of this other creator’s videos too!

You can also ask creators if they’d mind sharing your video with their followers.

This is an excellent way to get your videos in front of people who may not have otherwise seen them, as well as to build relationships with fellow creators.

If you want to grow your YouTube channel, several things can help. The first is staying interactive on social media by posting frequently and engaging with others in the comments section.

You should also use hashtags related to topics relevant to what you talk about, so people can find them easily if they search for those terms.

Promoting posts through advertising or other means is another excellent way to get more views and subscribers.

Finally, joining groups with like-minded individuals who share their content will allow you to connect with new viewers while giving back as well!
