It is against YouTube’s policies to upload your content on multi niche If you do this, your YouTube channel may be suspended.
If you upload content to multi niche, YouTube’s algorithm will not grow your channel. YouTube’s algorithm does not understand which category your channel belongs to.
All you have to do is grab a niche and upload content on it in which you are an expert and have more knowledge.
To select a niche you need to see what my interest is and on which topic I can create more content on YouTube.
If you choose the right niche, your YouTube channel can grow within days.

If you treat YouTube like a serious job, you can grow your channel with time. Consistency plays a vital role in growing a YouTube channel.
You have to set an uploading schedule for YouTube. If you work consistently on YouTube then return viewership increase on channel.
One thing you have to keep in mind while uploading content is that you have to select only one channel niche and upload videos continuously.
If you make one video a week, that’s fine. As your channel grows you can upload more than one video per week.
6: Clicky Thumbnails
When you upload a video to your YouTube channel, the first impression your video gives to the viewer is through your thumbnail. YouTube allows you to add a thumbnail to each of your videos in the form of an image.
You can download the YouTube Studio app from the Google Play Store to add thumbnails to YouTube videos.
A good thumbnail is very important to rank a video on YouTube. When you add a thumbnail to your video that engages viewers, they click on it, thus increasing the impression click through rate of your video.
If your YouTube video has an impression click through rate of more than 10%, YouTube continues to recommend your video to other people. As impressions on your video increase, ultimately views on your video also begin to increase.
7: YouTube SEO
As you know YouTube is the world’s largest video search engine.
After uploading a YouTube video, SEO of YouTube video is very important if you want to get your video in YouTube search results.
After uploading a YouTube video in these two ways, your video will getting views initially:

Let me tell you some ways by which you can do SEO on YouTube:
• Use relevant keywords in video titles
• Use relevant keywords in video descriptions
• Link to important info in video descriptions
• Set your channel tags
Be sure to include relevant keywords in your video title and description. By adding target keywords, your video starts ranking on YouTube.
8: Video Description
When you upload a video to YouTube, YouTube gives you two options to add keywords, one is the title and the other is the video description.
In the video description you can add keywords along with the related video. YouTube allows up to five thousand words of description. I think you can add more ranking keywords with 5000 words and finalize the description.
You can put a main keyword in the title of your YouTube video. You can add as many ranking keywords related to your content in the video description. Adding keywords will make it easier for YouTube’s algorithm to understand what topic your video is about.
When you add relevant keywords to your YouTube video, then YouTube will begin showing your video to all those interested in that topic.

YouTube is a platform where people upload their personal life in form of content and creativity. Since millions of videos are uploaded to YouTube every single day, you may find it difficult to grow your own channel.
YouTube channel tags play a very important role in increasing visibility of your YouTube channel.
Channel tags also known as channel keywords. These tags help both viewers and YouTube’s search algorithm understand what your channel is about. Unlike video-specific tags, channel tags apply to your entire channel.
Why Channel Tags Matter:
• Improved Search Ranking
• Audience Targeting
• Recommendations
• Branding
• Organized Content
Well-chosen channel tags can boost your channel’s ranking in YouTube search results, making it easier for viewers to find you.
10: YouTube Shorts
Now let’s talk about my most favorite YouTube feature which is YouTube Shorts. YouTube shorts are short-form video content that is vertical format and less than 60 seconds.
YouTube Short Feature is a powerful tool that can help you get millions of views.
Since YouTube shorts have a huge reach, your channel can grow very quickly.
You can also monetize YouTube shorts and earn money by placing ads on them.
