1. Selecting a Small but Distinct Title for Your YouTube Channel

When you have just started your YouTube channel, you first need to decide on a name for your channel, the term should be concise, and there should not be any duplication. Thorough research must be done to ensure that the name is no channel in existence with the phrase you select for your channel.

2. Making Use of YouTube Shorts

Making YouTube shorts is one of the easiest ways to grow your YouTube channel.

In the current scenario, Instagram reels and YouTube shorts have replaced TikTok. More and more people are engaged in making YouTube shorts, and most of the videos are garnering millions of views and subscribers.

Make sure that your YouTube shorts have a duration of fewer than 30 seconds. Mostly short with a time of  15-20 seconds, get a lot of views. If you want your videos to get more pictures, make sure that your shorts are very short in duration and do not write anything in the description section. It is highly suggested that you write #channel`s name in the description section of your YouTube shorts. For instance, I run a YouTube Channel named Stranded Lad, a channel providing facts-based videos, and I rely entirely on YouTube shorts, and my channel is getting a lot of views and subscribers. (Consider visiting and subscribing as well, you will not be disappointed)

Some random shorts even get views as high as 100 million.

Such is the potential of YouTube shorts!

3. Making Use of Hashtags in Shorts

Although the algorithm of YouTube is such robust that you may find even random shorts getting viral on the internet, it is highly recommended that one uses hashtags such as #shorts, #youtubeshorts, etc.

Using hashtags helps in getting more views, and most of the videos getting viral always use hashtags.

4. Promoting Your YouTube Channel

 When you are a novice and are yet to establish yourself as a YouTuber, it is very much essential to make use of various social media apps such as Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, etc. to promote your YouTube channel as initially your track will be getting significantly less daily impressions on YouTube.

Therefore, it is essential to reach the targeted audience and build awareness about the presence of your YouTube channel.

5. Delivering Quality Content and Using an Eye-Catching Thumbnail

If you are making longer and detailed videos, then make sure that you use an eye-catching thumbnail in your videos. People click on thumbnails based on how attractive and appealing it is to them.

It has to be kept in mind that even if you are using click-baits, make sure that your videos are of some value to others and turn out to be beneficial for them.

In conclusion, it can be said that starting a YouTube channel is extremely easy, but becoming successful on YouTube is a long-term process, and various factors collectively contribute to one`s success on YouTube.
