How to Promote YouTube Channel with Social Media
As I said before, there are a lot of social media accounts available to promote your YouTube channel. But instead of concentrating all the social media, try to concentrate only on a few accounts.
For example, if you’ve decent followers on Facebook and Pinterest means, then try to promote your channel/videos through that accounts initially. In the meantime, figure out how to increase the follower’s count on the lagging social accounts.
Things to consider: Social Media Accounts
- Create a separate social media accounts (same name as your YouTube channel), instead of using your personal account.
- Use the same profile pictures in your social media account of what you’re using in the YouTube channel logo.
- Write a description of your niche in social media properly.
- Provide your personal social media account link in the profile.
- Avoid the posts or stories, which is completely unrelated to your channel niche.
- Create trailer videos instead of posting an entire YouTube video on social accounts.
- Don’t push audiences to watch your videos. Instead of that, try to make videos that give a solution to them.
- Use proper hashtags, and avoid non-related hashtags.
- Post regularly. Social media algorithms check whether the influencer stays active on their accounts or not.
- Collaborate with other social media account influencers who’re having giant follower’s lists.
So, these are the things that, you need to consider before promoting your video content on social media. Also, I would like to share the above few points deeply for more understanding. Stay-tuned.
Create Trailer Videos
When you start to promote YouTube channel videos to any social media platforms, try to put trailer videos instead of the whole video. The trailer video is nothing but shortens the original video, cut the important and interesting clips and make that as one video.
The trailer video should increase the curiosity level of audiences and must push them to watch the entire video on YouTube.
While creating trailer videos, use animation clips. It attracts more audiences than usual. There is a software called Doodly which helps to make animation videos easily with drag and drop things.
Kindly take a look at the above video of the whiteboard animation video created by Doodly software. Nowadays peoples like to watch more animations videos than normal videos.
Use Proper Hashtags
Many of them failed to handle the required hashtags on social media to promote their YouTube channel. For example, if the video is related to “insurances”, then what is the purpose of using marketing related hashtags?
Moreover, on Instagram and Twitter, hashtags play an important role. So, use the appropriate and required hashtags on your social media account.
Bonus Tip
Always use your channel name/account name in the hashtags. It helps to reach more. For examples: #strangershow
Create a Separate Account for YouTube Channel
I hope everyone has their own(personal) social media accounts for their entertainment purpose and personal use. But when it comes to the YouTube channel, it’s a business.
So, always create a separate social media accounts with the channel name as the account name and channel logo as social account profile pictures.
In the meantime, mention your personal account id in the channel account profile. It’s just a trick to hold your followers either in both the way.
Don’t click the Kill button
Above all, there is one kill switch button sleeps on each of your accounts. By wrongly, if you click that kill switch, that’s all; your social media account will boom. The kill switch is none other than, copying others’ content.
In social media, whatever account you have, just don’t try to copy others’ content and upload it on your account. I personally lost one of my 14K followers Instagram account because of copyrights issue.
Hence, always don’t copy other’s content to promote your YouTube channel. Create new content with the help of the Canva free tool. Canva is a predefined image and video template powerhouse.
You can get free attractive images, illustrations, videos here related to your channel niche to promote your YouTube channel with copyrights free content.
