Everything seems to have turned upside down, and the life\nwe grew used to living has had to change to adapt. One thing we can all agree\nupon is that YouTube has become a platform for everything during this pandemic.\nDoctors are using YouTube to spread awareness, news channels are reporting and\nkeeping the world updated on the status of things, artists are taking to\n#STAYATHOME concerts, and influencers are trying to mobilize support for\nvarious organizations that are on the frontlines fighting this pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever be the reason,\nuser interaction on YouTube has skyrocketed in the last couple of months. This\nmakes sense given that almost the entire world has nothing much to do other\nthan attend Zoom calls and watch YouTube. As a content creator, this is a\nchance to make the best out of the situation. Here we will dive into how\nexactly you can promote your YouTube views during this lockdown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. <strong>Promote on social media<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Word of mouth is a thing\nof the past. Yes, it might still bring in a couple of hundreds of people to\nyour channel but if you plan on going big, social media is where you need to\nbe. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Telegram\nhave proved to bring in huge traction to YouTube channels, both big and small.\nThese platforms help build a relationship between the user and the creator and\ngive rise to more consistent views in the long run. Social media is also the\nreason why many videos on YouTube end up going viral. Viral videos mean\nstaggering views and that\u2019s what we all want at the end of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/social-media.jpg\" alt=\"social-media\" class=\"wp-image-3062\" width=\"761\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/social-media.jpg 1014w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/social-media-100x56.jpg 100w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/social-media-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/social-media-171x96.jpg 171w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 761px) 100vw, 761px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>(See also: <a href=\"https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/2019\/10\/20\/youtube-monetization-eligibility-how-to-get-it-done\/\">How to get monetized for YouTube<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. <strong>Make use of Ads<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ads have been the go-to\nmethod for driving traction since time immemorial. Needless to say, this might\nnot be the most effective currently. Ads require time and time is of the\nessence in situations such as these. Considering its amazing track record, we\nfelt it apt that this is given its due respect. Ads can significantly help rake\nin views and subscribers. Most often, good content goes unnoticed purely\nbecause it gets pushed back by the YouTube algorithm. Ads help combat\nthis.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. <strong>Buy organic growth<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most non-essential services have been put on hold and running traditional Google Ads may not be the most effective in terms of promoting your YouTube views at the moment. Google Ads approval has slowed down considerably during this lockdown. All the major players are busy, leaving content creators looking to run ads in a tight spot. This is where 3rd party sites that provide organic growth come into the picture. Trusted sites like SocioBlend offer tremendous organic growth at really competitive prices. With all the positive reviews, Socioblend might very well be your best shot to\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/socioblend.com\/youtube-views\" target=\"_blank\">increase YouTube views<\/a>\u00a0during such difficult times. Once the numbers start rolling in, the rest will snowball into a situation in your favor, guaranteed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"413\" data-src=\"https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/youtube-views-socioblend-1024x413.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3063 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/youtube-views-socioblend-1024x413.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/youtube-views-socioblend-100x40.jpg 100w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/youtube-views-socioblend-250x101.jpg 250w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/youtube-views-socioblend-238x96.jpg 238w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/youtube-views-socioblend.jpg 1137w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/413;\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. <strong>Focus on content<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day,\nthe quality of content is what will drive your channel and bring in the\nnumbers. To condense it into a simple statement, \u201cYou need to consistently\ndeliver quality content in a particular niche\u201d. How specific the niche is,\ndepends entirely on you. Pushing out videos for the sake of it might help you\nstay \u201cconsistent\u201d but this could backfire in the long run. YouTube has become a\nvery competitive platform and staying at the top requires research, which in\nturn requires time and effort. If you can put these into each of the videos you\nput out, your videos will promote themselves (with a little bit of help such as\nthe 3rd point) and start to bring in large numbers of views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. <strong>Focus on SEO<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/youtube-page-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3064 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/youtube-page-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/youtube-page-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/youtube-page-250x167.jpg 250w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/youtube-page-144x96.jpg 144w, https:\/\/socioblend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/youtube-page.jpg 1056w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption> Photo credits:\u00a0NordWood Themes\u00a0on\u00a0Unsplash <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important point\nregarding promoting your YouTube views during lockdown would be by focusing\ntime on SEO. The chances of your video getting discovered are slimming with\nevery passing minute. With every minute that passes, you are competing with an\nadditional 300 hours\u2019 worth of content. Given, that majority of this will go unnoticed,\nthat is still a huge uphill battle. The reason YouTubers find themselves\ngetting millions of views is because of a few reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Either they have a loyal fan base that watches every\n     video they put out. If a channel has a million subscribers and at least\n     70% watch every video that gets put out, this amounts to 700K views for\n     every video WITHOUT promotion.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In other cases, channels begin a trend of putting out\n     viral videos. Viral videos are the favorite type of videos for the YouTube\n     algorithm. In such cases, the algorithm behaves similarly to a paid\n     promotion where the sole aim is to push your video into as many users as\n     possible.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>And finally, videos sometimes find a way to beat the\n     algorithm. By using good SEO techniques, channels with fewer subscribers\n     can still rake in hundreds of thousands of views on a regular basis.\n     Uploading transcripts in other languages, video descriptions for every\n     video, good titles and interesting thumbnails all go a long way in raking\n     in views.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The whole world has gone on complete lockdown.
