Many YouTube creators are struggling with the new rules of watch time and subscribers. It can be pretty difficult to get new subscribers for your channel. And then reaching the point of the monetization is even more harder. Some users promote their content in the forums. Some promote it in social media. And results are harder to gauge if you ask me. So in such situation it can be pretty difficult to find out how to promote the YouTube channel.
If you were to promote a YouTube channel, what are some of the ways you can use to promote it?
It's not that easy to start a YouTube channel nowadays. And with the new rules if a video gets demonitized that video will no longer be appearing in the recommended tab. I'm not much into YouTube but I can share some ways on how to grow a channel.
1. Create social media accounts. Using Twitter, Facebook, Instagram to share your videos can always get you extra traffic to your YouTube channel.
2. Tell your friends. If you are just starting a channel no one will know about it. So it will be a good idea to tell your friends who might be interested into watching your content.
3. Use keywords in the videos. This can help you to get more people find your videos if you use the exact keywords that you should use.
4. Collaborate with other YouTubers. If you reach out to another YouTuber and propose them to make a video with you this could lead to a boost in your channel.
5. Don't give up. It takes a lot of time to build your YouTube channel. What most people make as a mistake in the begging is to give up too early. You can't expect 10000 subscribes during the first month. If you focus on unique and quality content the viewers will come by themselves.
TIP NUMBER 1- You need to post regular content! - Your subscribers are obviously going to watch the content and they are going to love to see new videos on your channel. I'd recommend posting new videos on a daily or weekly basis. It would be better if you could do it on a daily basis, but only if you have time.
TIP NUMBER 2- Your video quality needs to be good! - I'd recommend uploading in high definition. This is so your audience can see your video really clearly and in detail. High definition is 720p and 1080p.
TIP NUMBER 3 You need to promote your channel! - This is one of the biggest factors in this article today; promoting. I would recommend using social media websites. Social media websites include facebook, twitter, etc.
TIP NUMBER 4 - You need to stay away from Sub4Sub, Like4Like etc!- If you don't know what sub4sub is, please can you read onwards to the next point. If you are considering doing sub4sub, please read on why you shouldn't do it. Sub4Sub is very bad because all you are doing is exchanging subscribers with another person by saying "if you sub me ill sub you back". A) You are not earning the subs legitimately. B) This won't get you more views because those subscribers will be inactive and won't watch your content. Real subscribers that you have earned will be interested in your content and will most likely be active on your channel and that's how you get subscribers. I think I have covered enough on this topic.
TIP NUMBER 5 - Do not buy subscribers or views. Buying subscribers or views is completely fake and again, the subscribers will be inactive and won't watch your content and the views are fake. You should go and get valid views and subscribers by following this guide that I have showed you today.
TIP NUMBER 6 - Add video thumbnails - Video thumbnails are the pictures before you click on a video. This is really important because this will attractive viewers to your video. This is the first thing they will see in the YouTube search results, a picture (thumbail) of your YouTube video so therefore you should choose it and make it fancy!
TIP NUMBER 7 - Get a microphone - If your ever going to be successful on YouTube, your going need a microphone. This is good because you can explain tutorials and other interesting videos. I'd really recommend getting this as this can really benefit your YouTuber skills.
This is an Article I wrote a while back on a YouTube promotional forum that I own if this helps you.
Don't do sub for sub. By doing this you will receive dead subscribers and after time YouTube will just register your channel as a dead one and your videos will not be recommended to people as the algorithm don't think there is any interest in your videos. Also, upload at 60 frames per second. This seems to be the standard now.

What alternatives methods you recommend for gaining more subscribers on a YouTube channel? What tips and advice would you give a new content creator starting out? I completely agree with your statement, though.
