Are you an enthusiastic YouTuber looking to grow your channel and reach that dreamed milestone of 1000 subscribers? Getting 1000 subscribers on YouTube is the biggest question among creators, especially new YouTube channel creators.
You can accelerate your journey to YouTube success with the right strategies and a power-play mindset. Moreover, YouTube set the default monetization requirements of 1000 subscribers to open the YouTube money-making gate. We will discuss that later in the below topic.
In this detailed blog article, we will analyze actionable strategies and tips to help you gain 1000 subscribers on YouTube and unlock the potential of your channel.
How To Get 1000 Subscribers on YouTube
We will categorize this topic into four chapters to help you understand and achieve the 1000 subscriber’s mission.
As I said above, 1000 subscribers is the basic requirement set by YouTube to enable monetization. So, I hope you know how important is your first 1000 subscribers. Ok, let’s see the strategies & tips to achieve it.
Chapter 1: Engaging & High-Quality Content
The first & foremost step in creating a successful YouTube channel is generating high-quality content that engages more audiences.
Content is king! If you’re making your content worthy or adding value to your audience, they take care of your subscriber count. Yes, you can do a little marketing.
Unfortunately, if the content is in another recycle bin, then proceeding further is useless. Nowadays, audiences are impatient & clever; within a few seconds of the video beginning, they judge whether it is worth watching.
So, playing with their time on producing low-quality content on YouTube is the worst idea.
Always be prepared with your video script, and keep creating new concepts for videos.
Chapter 2: Analyze Competitor
Every business has competitors. Analyzing your competitors’ actions is a common approach to improving any business.
In YouTube, competitor analysis is evaluating and understanding your competitor. In addition, this analysis gives you greater information on topic ideas, strategies, strengths, weaknesses, and even more insights.
Some common competitor analyses on YouTube are their used keywords, Video Flow Structure, video title, description & tag information, and traffic & revenue analysis.
Let’s see briefly how to find what your competitor’s doing:
- Video Title & Meta Information: The common video title, description, and video flow structure are easily visible with their channel or video URL. So you have direct access to possess it.
- Video Tags: What keywords the videos are using is one of the biggest mysteries among creators to find. But you can easily figure it out with the help of a YouTube SEO tool called TUBEBUDDY.
Install TubeBuddy on your browser and play the video. That’s all; the competitor used keywords on video tags displayed before you.
- Traffic Analysis & Reveune: From Tubebuddy itself, it displays the general traffic of your competitor on their channel dashboard. If you want to know more about their revenue, use the socialblade.com

Finding your competitor’s data is different from copying & pasting the same on your channel. All you need to do is, analyze it and figure out “where they are making a mistake, where they are grabbing the audience’s attention, and where they failed to drive attention” and finally implement them on your channel.
Chapter 3: YouTube SEO Optimization
YouTube Search Engine Optimization plays an important role in getting organic traffic and views on YouTube.
When you receive organic traffic (meaning: audiences find your videos from their homepage, search results, & suggestion videos), your channel’s views, subscribers, watch time, and other growth potentials improve automatically.
So, what are the main YouTube SEO things you need to consider? Let’s see it briefly one by one below.
1) Keyword Research
- What is your video’s core keyword?
- Is that a high-search volume keyword?
- Is that a low-competition keyword?
- Is that a trending keyword?
Generally, before making your video, you must identify your core keyword. This is for more than just getting 1000 subscribers on YouTube. You must make this approach throughout all your videos, even if you make millions of dollars from YouTube.
How do I find my core, high-search volume, and low-competition keywords?
There are many keyword finder tools available on the market to figure out. Some of them are,
- YouTube Search: Go to YouTube.com and search the phrases in their search box. It displays the list of used keywords along with your words. But it will not show how many users search these keywords, competition level, traffic zone, etc. To figure out that, use the below software.
2.TubeBuddy: As discussed above, this is an all-in-one free YouTube SEO management tool. It helps to figure out better keyword research.
3. VidIQ: VidIQ is also a free keyword finder tool to get you a competitive search volume for keywords.
Remember: When you find the core keyword, kindly get 2 or 3 related keywords. Let me explain below where to use that.
Once you find the keyword, it’s time to optimize it in some places for the YouTube algorithm to find out your video.
2) Title & Thumbnail Optimization
After getting your keyword, you must add it to your title. Make sure that the title of the video resembles what you’re talking about in the video. So, always create a title that works on both conditions.
Video Title Formula
Good Video Title = Video Theme * Core Keyword
There are many tips & techniques to use keywords on video titles to get your first 1000 subscribers on YouTube quickly; if you want to know about it, read this YouTube video title: Tips & Tricks article.
Thumbnail Optimization is another technique to pull and convert your audiences from scrolling your video to clicking your video.
As I explained in the below-article, YouTube may use Vision API to detect text, objects, & other metadata on the video thumbnails. Kindly read the below article to learn about it.
In such a condition, you must use your keywords and related images on the thumbnail.
Please remember that titles & thumbnails are the optimization places you’ll receive more click-through-rate (CTR) of the video. So, keep updating and uploading the new keywords based on the trend.
3) Description & Tag Optimization
From the second chapter, you’ve found the competitors used keywords and the related keywords from Keyword Research, right?
Use those related and competitor-used keywords in the video description & tags, respectively.
Chapter 4: Consistency & Playlist Technique
Consistency is the master key to get success on YouTube. Create a video, schedule it, and stick to it.
It may be daily, weekly, or bi-weekly once uploaded, but make sure you always upload the video on that schedule. Generally, audiences wait early to look a new content from your channel.
In addition, consistent uploads give a better signal to the YouTube algorithm that your channel is active and keeps engaging with audiences. So, YouTube offers a chance to rank your videos in a higher order next time.
Playlist Technique
When you try to get 1000 subscribers on YouTube, you must do out-of-box procedures to grab the audience’s attention.
One of the easiest ways is, creating a tutorial kind of playlist video with more than ten videos in a single playlist.
Recently I watched a JavaBrains Microservice technology tutorial. He posted 23 videos in a single playlist. I watched all of them together, spending around 3 hours.
Do you know what happened? This approach signals a YouTube algorithm that, “Hey JavaBrain, You did a great job by spending audiences more than an hour on YouTube, especially on your channel; ok, let me give you more traffic impressions among other related audiences.”
This approach increases your traffic visibility, impressions, views, subscribers, and revenue…
It’s a simple technique, but the outcome is tremendous.
These are the basic strategies to earn 1000 subscribers on your YouTube channel initially. As small YouTube creators, your main motive is reaching monetization requirements. So, when you follow the above-discussed techniques, you will get 1000 subscribers on your channel within 6 months.
