| How to Grow your Dead Channel in 2 Steps Only |
And today, in just a few weeks, it is having 30k+ Subscribers, & THEY ARE VERY ACTIVE TOO.
So, you CAN trust me when I say, I know how a channel goes dead and how you can grow a dead channel in 2021
How you can get an active audience from a dead audience
And this is exactly what we are going to talk about today, How to Grow your Dead Channel in 2 Steps Only
Ok, so I'll be telling you the solution because it is quite simple. But there are a few things, without which the solution simply won't work.
So, let's first talk what those IMPORTANT things are, and then I'll tell you How to Grow a Dead Channel on Youtube in 2021
Question No 1, Why your Channel Went Dead?
Answer, Because your Subscribers are Inactive
Question No 2, But why are they Inactive?
Answer, Because Youtube doesn't send them any notifications. Hence, they are inactive & don't watch our videos.
Question Number 3, But Why doesn't Youtube Send them Notifications?
Answer, Because simply they must be having a LOW CTR & LOW WATCHTIME
But Again, Why is your video having a low ctr and watchtime at the first place?
And this is how we arrive at the Core Problem of a Dead Channel
Youtube doesn't show them your video. Why?
Because when youtube showed them your video the last time, either they didn't even click it, hence low ctr.
And if they clicked, they didn't watched the whole video, hence a bad audience retention
The Problem is very simple. They are not interested in your content. Hence, your channel went dead.
Listen again, I said they don't have any interest in your channel. I never said they don't like your channel.
Don't say anything Blogtricker. They are not watching our content, that simply means they don't like the content. Right?
No Brother, Understand it like this
Let's just say I come across a video related to some beauty product. Now, it's not that I don't like the video. Simple thing is, I am not interested in that video.
But that doesn't mean, the video is bad.
It may be good, it may be bad. But just because it doesn't lie in my interests doesn't mean it is bad.
And this is what you need to understand. It is possible that your videos are good. But you are having the wrong audience.
What do I mean by Wrong Audience?
Let's say you make dog related videos. But your audience? They instead hate them.
Hence, they won't click your videos and even if they do, they won't watch them properly. Youtube would think it's a bad video and you'll get dead audience.
But the real problem here was, the wrong audience.
Their interests and your video niche don't match.
And if this is the case, then the solution is simple. I will talk about the solution at the end of the video, How to Get the Right Audience.
But for now, How do we know, if our channel is dead or not. I mean, it's not like youtube comes and officially tells you that congratulations you have a dead channel now.
This is simply an imaginary concept where you call a channel dead when the number of subscribers are much higher than the average number of views on videos.
The channel doesn't grow & that's when you call a channel dead.
But the problem is same, how do we know if our channel is dead or not?
So, just a few days back, I got a DM saying... I am having 2k subscribers but only 200-300 regular views per video. So is my channel dead?
It's a good question, so let's talk about it & then we'll discuss about the probable solutions to grow a dead channel in 2021
The answer to this question is very simple if you have already watched this video on my main channel.
I clearly explained that forget about your total subscribers and focus on your average views.
Hence, let's forget about those 2k subscribers and talk about the average views, which are 200-300 per video.
Now, just think for once. You are not just getting 200-300 views per video. Rather there are 200-300 people watching your videos on a regular basis
Do you realize how good of an audience it is. 200-300 people are enough to make you go viral in case of a great video.
If you are still not growing, The Problem lies somewhere else. So, now let's talk about our main problem.
How to Grow your Dead Channel in 2 Steps Only
Step 1: Identify the Problem
As I told you in the previous section that reason no 1 for a dead channel is having the wrong audience
and number 2 reason is not so good content
and tbh, in 99% cases, reason 2 is more appropriate
I have seen a lot of channels. They don't know who they are targeting, they don't know their content type, they don't know how to make a good thumbnail and title, even the content is not good
In this case, upload on any topic you want. But you simply won't get views.
So, identify the problem first. Wrong Audience or Not So Good Content
Ok, so now let's dive into
step 2, Solving the Problem
First, let's try to solve the Not So Good Content Problem. Tbh, everyone including me thinks that our content is always best.
Even when I used to upload on my dead channels. I always used to think why is youtube not promoting me despite my channel having the best content.
But when I think about them in the hindsight, I can clearly identify that those videos were not the best, not even close to best. They needed a lot of improvement.
And as soon as I realized it, I started providing valuable videos. Videos that were something new in the youtube space and in just 3 days, critiK started growing organically.
And in just a few months, it has over 30k subscribers and it is growing insanely.
Now, don't assume that knowing this even you can grow your channel in just 3 days. It takes a lot of time. What you need to do is, just improve every video bit by bit.
And with this improvement, a point will come when you will have great content & hence youtube will start promoting you organically.
Believe it or not, in 99% of the cases, Content is the Problem. So, you need to try different things. If you are currently making roast videos, maybe try comedy videos for a while.
You can even invent your own new genre like Tech Burner (he combined tech + comedy in India)
Just try something new, who knows what you are good at. And be sure to improve every video bit by bit.
I will be uploading everything you need as a youtuber from how to make better thumbnails and titles to seo, voice quality, bg music and what not.
Now before I tell you the solution for Wrong Audience, understand this. I will try my best to provide you with the best information available BUT
If you really want some benefit out of my videos, then don't just watch them. Rather make proper notes out of them.
Trust me, you won't find this information even in courses worth lakhs. So, don't underestimate the knowledge just because it is free.
Buy a copy, make proper notes out of these videos and you can even tag me on instagram @Blogtricker to let me know about them
Because until you make proper notes and apply them, the videos have least to no meaning at all
So, now it's your call, Do you want a growing channel or a dead channel?
Now, let me tell you the solution to problem no 1, The Wrong Audience.
This problem has 2 solutions.
Let's just say you make videos about dogs but your audience is interested in content related to cats. Simply start making videos about cats and they will start watching them.
But Blogtricker, How do we know if they are interested in cats or dogs?
So again, it is a good question and I will make a video on it. Don't Worry
But let's just say, you are an expert only in videos related to dogs and you just want to make that only. Now what?
So, if you are getting very less views. Make a new channel and apply these 2 videos on it and start your youtube journey again.
But if you are getting some views, then it is your decision. Youtube says, some views are better than no views.
for eg, if you are having 100k subscribers but only 500 views then what youtube says is, atleast you are getting those 500 views. It is anyways better than getting no views on a new channel.
So now, the decision is yours if you want to make a new channel or focus on the existing one.
But yes, if I were having a 100k subs but only 500 average views then I would let the existing channel work as it does and start my 2nd venture as an experiment.
Now, if you don't want your channel to be dead again, watch this video which exactly tells you how to stop the wrong audience
Then watch the second video describing how to get your first 100 active subscribers who will have actual interest in your videos.
And tbh, 100 people are enough to make you go viral if you are having great content. So, if you are still not getting views, go back to step 1, ie, not so good content.
