Add Watermark Logo:
This is the easiest way to increase channel subscribers and shouldn’t be missed by anyone. This is a one-time activity and the watermark logo will be visible on all the channel’s videos. The recommended size of the image is 150 X 150 pixels and the size should be less than 1 MB.
The Watermark logo should be added before making any video public to your audience so that all the viewers of your video can notice the watermark logo at the right bottom of your video.
We have noticed that many YouTube channels have used there brand logo or some other images as Watermark logo but we would recommend you to add “Subscribe” or “Subscribe Now” as water mark logo. Adding Subscribe now will certainly help in increasing the channel subscribers from the water mark logo.
Append Channel URL with Subscription Confirmation String:
You might have shared your YouTube channel urls through different platform e.g. video description, website, email, QR code, social media platforms, video content slides, sms, whatapp, telegram and more.
If you add subscription confirmation string along with your channel url (channel handle), then there is a high probability that whomsoever is clicking on the link / handle will also subscribe to your channel if it’s relevant to them. Adding subscription string is very easy; you have to just add “?sub_confirmation=1” at the end of your channel url / handle.
Example:
URL without Subscribption confirmation string:
https://www.youtube.com/@razorgrowth
URL with Subscribption confirmation string:
https://www.youtube.com/@razorgrowth?sub_confirmation=1
Info Cards: Infocard is one of the prominent place in any video. It is displayed on right top corner of the video and also known as I-card. Here, you can add video, playlist, channel or external link. Through the infocard, you can add link to your YouTube vidoe channel with subscription confirmation string so that viewers can subscribe to your channel https://www.youtube.com/@razorgrowth?sub_confirmation=1
End Screen: The end screen is a very prominent place to engage your video viewers by showing them link to more relevant videos, playlist link, and channel URL/handle. The negative thing about the end screen is that it is visible only for 20 seconds at the end of the video. If your video is very long or not engaging; your viewers won’t watch the video till the end. Therefore you should make sure that viewers will watch the video till the end.
While adding the end screen, you will automatically get various options to add a channel subscribe link. This is one of the easiest ways to get YouTube subscribers.
Thumbnail Image: The thumbnail is the first thing that your target audience sees before watching a video. While designing a thumbnail, you should also add the “Subscribe” or “Subscribe Now” element to it. This should be visible as a “Call to Action” and will help in increasing YouTube subscribers.
Before finalizing any particular thumbnail design, you should identify a few thumbnail templates which are relevant to the video topics and bring higher CTR as compared to competitors.
Description: If you want to grow your YouTube channel’s subscribers then adding a channel subscription link with a subscription confirmation string can increase the count. Please note that adding a channel subscription link is not going to help until/unless you don’t mention in the video to “subscribe to the channel” by clicking the link in the description.
Pin Comments: Pin comment is one of the prominent placeholders where you can add the most important links. To increase your YouTube subscribers, you should add the channel’s subscribe links in the pinned comment with the subscription confirmation string. In addition to that, you should also add your lead/sales generation links in the pinned comment.
