Warning Before Deciding to Join Amazon Affiliate Program:

There are some facts remains in the field of affilaite program which you may encounter sooner or later. It is not limited to Amazon Affiliate program but these facts are associated with any Affiliate program. 

1. No Organic Traffic

It is hard to believe. Search engines are not at all in support affiliate marketing websites. According to search Engines they believe affiliate marketing websites do not provide any extra information to the website visitors. Thats why affiliate marketing website do not show up in search results. 

Where as there are smart website owners exist who knows how to cleverly use affiliate links in the website. Search engines identify a website from the affiliate links that are available in the website. So smart website owners, they use indirect redirecting method. And that is, they place simple tag in the webpage and upon clicking the tag with the help of javascript they redirect to the sellers page. If you visit popular affiliate marketing websites, you would notice, they are not using affiliate links. Rather they are placing tags and encourages user to click on it. Once user click on it, then the user is redirected to the website of the seller. This way, they hide it from search engines. 

2. Hackers inject cookies

The problem part most of the website owners are not from programming background. So they are not at all aware cyber security threats. They simply use plugins with out even examining the authenticities of the plugins. There can be chance some plugins fail to sanitize the provided information. Such websites are vulberable to hackers to inject scripts. So hackers can inject and place their affiliate link in the place of yours.

The only solution is to escape scripts. And if we are opening the link in new tab then we must use rel="noopener" attribute. It would stop from injecting scripts by hackers.

3. People avoid such links

Today people are aware of everything what is happening around. Few website visitors are there who visit affiliate marketing sites to find out the lowest price and after that dont click on the affiliate link because such people fear the website owner may get commission. So rather they visit company site and purchase. 

Because of this you could see there are heavy visitors but less conversion. 

4. Competitors snatch away your business

Undoubtely, there are two sources to get traffic to a affiliate marketing sites. One is organic search and second one is social search. But today there is heavy competition going on. The moment you start paid campaign on social sites, you would notice, your competitors are too campaigning for same goal. And gradually you would explore that those people are actually snatching away your business which supposed to be a possible conversion for your campaign. And similarly the moment your webpage links appeared in the organis search results, your competitors links too going to appear in the search results.  

5. Country specific

Affiliate marketing programs are not globally available. Most of the programs are country specific. For example, Amazon India and Amazon US both are different market. If you are affiliate marketing agent of Amazon US and your website visitors ended up purchasing product from Amazon India Market then there is no commission. Certain affiliate programs are strictly small area specific. Before running any campaign, be clear about the allowed region to help to sale the products. 

6. Plugins dont work

Most of the affiliate programs have launched plugins for wordpress website. Certain plugins are not working properly. The problem part is when you run the wordpress website, the plugin appears working smooth but when you access the same website from another system or location, then the plugin appears as if not working right. So be triple sure to use such plugins. 

7. Company deny commission

In some cases, your record says you have sold 10 products in previous month but company record says you have sold 6 products only. This is happening with certain affiliate program providers. In such scenario there is no more scope to do any thing as it is purely system operated workflow. 

8. Commission rate changes

This is one of the biggest bitter truth which no one speaks openly. Commission rates are not fixed. They change frequently. People identify which product is offering highest commission, then launched the program accordingly but the moment sales take place, the commission rate is reduced down to almost one fourth of its initial commission value. This happens. So keep in mind, commission rates change frequently. 

9. Zero commission products

There is high commission rate on certain products and there is low commission rate on certain products. These commission rate vary. But there is also products which has 0 commission rate. No matter how the product is in demand in the market, if the commission rate is set 0 then no commission will be paid after sales. 

10. Ban on social platforms

Earlier search engines and later social platforms became enemy of affiliate marketing. They too are not allowing social links to be shared on their platform. So if some one posts frequently on social platforms then their account even gets suspended. 

So these are the ten worst realities of affiliate marketing which no one talks openly. If you are planning to try affiliate marketing then keep these realities in mind. 

Top ten worst reality of affiliate marketing which no one mentions

Today the world is going through a different phase. The source of income is changing gradually. The place where there has been no record of income for centuries and even more, such place people are making handsome money and living royal life because of Internet.

There are plenty of solutions available to have six to ten digit income from internet. One can earn directly by selling products or providing service and other way is passive income. Such as showing ads in the content.

Among passive income the best solution is affiliate marketing.

What is affiliate marketing?

Big company struggle to sell their product at large extend because of small industry too are competing. Therefore company need help to sell their product. Any one who helps in selling product of a company then company happily shares profit with the seller. The commission rate varies depending upon the company and the product that is sold. 

Today, Amazon and flipkart are providing affiliate program. Where as flipkart has capsized the profit it is going to share on sales. (if flipkart in advance informs its affiliate marketing agent that for next month the capsized commission rate is Rs. 10000 /- INR. Even if the agent makes Rs 30000/- then also the sanctioned commission will be 10000 only. Each month this predecided commission value varies). But on the other hand Amazon has not set any limitations. Any one can help to sell any amount of products and the commission will be paid what ever commission amount was set on the products. 

Why Affiliate Marketing Would Be Beneficial in 2019?

Affiliate marketing is undoubtedly Good Source of Income. In general CTR remains 1 to 10%.

What is CTR?

If in a day, 100 people visited your affiliate links, and 10 people purchased the product then the ctr is 10%.

So if your website is getting 10000 visitors per day, then you could easily make money. But if your blog or website has very less visitors then it is obvious, the income will be less. 

So how it would be beneficial in 2019. 

10000 visitors per day, one can make max to max 10 dollar or 15 dollars from ad networks. But in affiliate marketing even if 100 people visited the affiliate links and purchased the products. Then you would easily make 100 dollars. 

Affiliate marketing is strictly dependent upon targetted traffic. Suppose you could able to attract people who do online shoppings, then it is obvious you could make good money. 

Remember: There are annually crores of turn over company exist which run on strictly affiliate marketing business. They sell products for companies. 

But wait, this article is about to inform you the worst reality of affiliate marketing:

How to start a youtube channel and earn handsome Income for absolute beginners in 2019

One question that comes to mind how to start a youtube channel and earn money! If you have landed in this page, it is obvious you are well aware youtube is the platform that can help to earn seven digit Income each month. I dont have to mention people are even earning more.

In one of the previous article, how do people make money from youtube in 2019, I have clearly discussed all the solutions that are available with youtube to make money online. Today, we will be focusing on how to start youtube channel and I assume you are absolute beginner.

Youtube

Before proceeding further...

Why should you read this post?

Because if you start with out any prior knowledge, then 99% chance you would end with less traffic and very very less income. This post article on how to start a youtube channel in 2019, not only your time and effort is going to be shaved but also, you are going to learn the right strategy.

Okay, why strategy matters! Long back, in 2011, 2012, I had couple of videos, randomly shot. With out any preplan, I edited them and uploaded on youtube just for fun. Keep in mind, at that time, I was not at all aware, money could be earned from youtube. With in weeks, I got ten thousand views (more) (And yes those days views were the first thing, that search engine and visitors used to notice first, Any ways...) and few weeks later came to know that I had 12 dollar earnings.

That time was different. But today, the scenario is totally different. If you assume, just by uploading a video, you would get views, then you are absolutely wrong. Today there is no lack of content. So before even planning to start a youtube channel, keep following points clear in your mind.

1. Niche

What is niche? Topic. Decide a topic in which you want to make videos. It could be video vlog about the places you visit. Or it could be a tutorial on algebra or it could be about how to take care skin or even it could be about how to clean and arrange a cupboard.

The keypoint here is to focus on one topic rather than multiple topics. Because, users prefer to subscribe and follow a youtube channel which provides video on one topic. Search Engines also like such youtube channels. This will help your video to appear in suggested video list to youtube visitors.

2. Research on Niche

Wait. You have decided a niche but are you sure, you have plenty of audience out there. Yes my friend, this point, no one mentions. We assume, okay, I have plenty good content and people going to watch my video. But at the end, we in general land in less views despite of world class content. And this is happening because of lack of audience for the content.

For Example: Few months back, I made tutorials on Blender Software. And guess what, I ended up with 100 views in six months. Keep in mind, I have uploaded more than 100 videos. Still I was struggling. At last, I figured out why it is happening. And the reason was, there were less searches for this topic. The search was less than 2 lakhs per month. There were 20 lakhs even more webpage and youtube videos were available.

Okay, the point here is, we must focus on niche which has plenty searches. How would we know which niche subject has plenty searches.

I am suggesting you the most simplest solution. Just open youtube, and search your desired niche. For example, I am planning to make youtube channel on affilate marketing. Affiliate marketing is vast subject. Thousands of companies are offering affiliate program. So at first glance it appears, it might be beneficial niche for my youtube channel. Now its time to check whether it has sufficient searches or not. So I opened youtube and searched for affiliate marketing.

In the image, you could see, most of the videos has more than 100k views. Which means the targeted niche has good amount of searches.

Apart from this you could also use tools that are available which tells how many searches are there for a particular keyword. One of such free tool is Google Keyword Planner tool. (Google Keyword Planner tool is a free tool from Google, which tells how many monthly searches are there for a keyword)

3. Preplan Project

Okay, you have decided a niche. Now its time to break it down in terms of episodes or chapters. Suppose you want to make vlog on Tourist spots of a city. So dont just land at the spot, shoot and upload. Do research. Read enough. Watch similar videos. Watch those who have tremendous views, how they are delivering the content. And also watch those videos that has same topic as yours but has less views and how they delivering the content.

4. Focus on Quality Content

Get A Good Camera. By saying good camera I do not mean expensive one. I mean get that camera which has high definition picture record functionality but consumes less memory. There mobile phones which has high definition camera but they consume large memory. So after edit, you land with large amount video file. (1GB file). Then it will buffer a lot. So memory size of video file also matters. Imagine, one of the youtube video visitor has 1GB Internet limit in his mobile phone, then why would he watch your video. At the completion of fifty percent of your video, the user will be notified by the network company. So use a camera which has good compression feature.

And also visually your content should appear rich and audio should not have any noise.

4. Video tags

This is the biggest challenge. You have to find out good video tags. What are video tags?

Keywords. Search Engines can not read video file. So how they are going to understand a video? Thats why we provide video tags. We can not use any video tag. Because, these days, search engines are giving priority to user's behaviour. If a user lands in your video and dont find the desired content he was looking for then he would immediate move to another video. If hundred visitors did this, then your video will lose authority.

Where can we find keywords or video tags?

One place is Google Keyword planner. Another one is, type in the search box of youtube, it suggests keyword. So from there also we could easily understand what people are searching for on youtube.

5. Upload strategy

If you have 100 videos ready to upload. Then dont upload in one single day. Rather upload each day one video. Because search engine algorithm notices, number of videos available on youtube channel, number of likes, number of comments and number of sharings. So if you upload in one day, then for a long time, search engine is going to understand your video channel is not performing well. So upload each day. Few upload twice or thrice a week.

6. Dont share

One bad habit, we have, once we upload, we immediate share it on various platform. This is not Good. Wait, till your video gets nice views then share on whatsapp and facebook and twitter. Dont forget to make facebook page and twitter account for your youtube channel. Upload there too.

How to earn handsome income from youtube?

I have already discussed about it. From youtube we can get income by showing ads in the videos. Adsense provides ads for youtube videos. Today, the minimum eligible criteria to monetize youtube video is to have atleast 1000 subscriber in past 12 months and must have 4000 watch hours.

Reality Exposed: How do whatsapp earn money?

Earlier days, when whatsapp was launched, it was free for one year and then Rs 50 Rupees was fee to use the app. But later on they removed the fee and made whatsapp free for life time.

WhatsApp was founded in 2009 by Brian Acton and Jan Koum, former employees of Yahoo! Rumour says they were rejected in one of the Facebook Interview. They worked together and build this app. This app primarily sends text messages.

There were arguments among professionals about the originality behind the app building. Most claim it is just an advanced version of page device which was popular in 1990s. But any ways today whatsapp is million dollar industry.

Facebook finally abled to acquire whatsapp. So these days facebook is handling all the functionalities of whatsapp?

Wait, what about the earning source? Facebook is not dumb to pay millions of amount to buy an application rights which has revenue capacity of ten times it has paid for. But where do the money earning takes place?

They make money from data about the user. It is not restricted to email, debit card details or credit card details, or which internet connection user is using. But it is all total data of user. For instance, what kind of messages user is sending. How actively user is using whatsapp application then using email or phone call. Is user using video call or just making telephonice call. Is user using mobile device to purchase something? Is user storing confidential data in the phone? There are plenty.

Such data collection is called data mining. Those who analyse data are called as data analyst. This field is known as data science. Mind it, data analyst are the highly paid employees in any company.

If you are wondering, are they stealing your debit card or credit card details? Then dont worry. These people are professionals and Good People. But yes, if fraudsters gets these details from any other source then it would cost you.

Now the question is, what are they going to do by collecting data?

They are selling these data to other company. Other company after analysing the data is going to launch next generation device. One of the best example, is one decade back after analysing users upload their friend group photos on orkut, mobile company launched front camera phones.

So the point is clear now, whatsapp earn money by collecting data of user. And such company sell in the market. Are they selling email or any personal data? No not exactly. They are selling broader data. Which is not user specific.

So this way, Whats app earn money.

Amitabh Bachchan First Movie

Who is Amitabh Bachchan?

Perhaps there might be any one who is not aware who is Amitabh Bachchan! Continuously being superstar for more than four decades is not at all an easy task. Few claim his hard work, few other claim his luck, and other claim Intelligent Man who decided to opt right projects at right time. Despite hundreds of up and downs, Amitabh Sir has remained the genius top man.

Industry people say no matter how hard is wind, no energy can stop an eagle from flying. For me, he is Lion.

Have you wondered? Which was Amitabh Bachchans Debut Film?

If you are thinking, Zanjeer than you are absolutely wrong. Zanjeer was the first solo superhit film of Sir Amitabh Bachchan.

Then if you are thinking about Sholay or trishul or Deewar then they are too wrong answers.

Amitabh Bachchan's First Movie was "Saat Hindustani".

Saat Hindustani: Amitabh Bachchan's First Movie

Saat Hindustani is a 1969 Indian film, written and directed by Khwaja Ahmad Abbas. The film portrays the heroic story of seven Indians who attempt to liberate Goa from the Portuguese colonial rule.

Today I am going to guide you to publish your book at zero price and earn high revenue.

One decade back, publishing a book was different game. People used to spend years and years to prepare the manuscript. (Manuscript: Hand written or typed or written in computer  using text editor document). And they used to approach the publication houses.

Why Publication houses?

Because they have their own publishing equipments. They have their own agents in all major cities. So they can easily sell in the market. They have name in the market so people used to purchase these publication houses books. In return publication houses used to share a small amount for each sale with the author.

Today the scenario is different. People still prefer to publish through publishing houses. One of the complex process is resubmissions no matter how well the draft is prepared. But in following approach there is no such thing.

1. Sell your books through online

With content management software such as wordpress, it is super easy to run a website with out having any prior knowledge of programming. And there are plenty free plugins. So using free plugin such as woocommerce, we can recieve payments direct from buyer into our account. There is no mediator here. You are selling your books to the buyer directly. You can sell pdf documents. Otherwise you can also print your book and courier it once you receive the payment.

Cons: Opening a website, setting up to sell books and receive payment is super easy. But the toughest part is to pull visitors to the website. For this one must have to master SEO. SEO can help to gain traffic to your website which in return help in sales.

2. Amazon KDP

Amazon is providing great opportunity to sell books. All you need to do is submit manuscript and set a price which you want.

In other 70% profit sharing, author receives 70% of the set price. Author can set, the price of book $2.99 to $9.99 USD only.

It is upto author which profit option author wants to set.

How do people make money from youtube?

Today, the new source of income has become passive income. Because there is no boss. One of the best platform for passive income is youtube. In last three years, there is tremendous new youtube channels opened. Every one wants to be part of this great opportunity. Places where there were no records of good income in last 100 decades, at such places people are making six digit income from youtube. This is the power of youtube.

But the question here is, how do people make money from youtube?

First of all youtube does not pay for uploading videos.

So then who pays?

Adsense. Naam to suna hoga. It is a product of Google. Adsense is popular for providing ad for youtube and websites.

Therefore it means, adsense shows ad on a youtube video and the respective video owner gets commission for the ad.

What is the percentage youtube video owner gets?

The commission rate is 65%.


What kind of ad appear in youtube videos?

1. Banner ad (Banner type ad appear at the bottom of the video)
2. Skippable Ad (Video ads that appear while playing video which we can skip after 5 seconds)
3. Non Skippable ad(Video ads that appear which we can not skip and we are bound to watch completely)

People assume by closing banner ads, it will grant revenue. But this is not true. Revenue for banner ad, youtube video owner gets only if user clicks on the banner and then a new webpage opens and spends little time. Other wise there is no revenue for the banner ad.

Youtube video owner is going to get revenue for skippable ads only if user watches more than 20 second of video. However if user skips the video ad (after 5 second) then there is no revenue for it.

Youtube video owner is going to earn revenue for each non skippable ad appears.

Is there option available to show non skippable ad only?
Yes. There is option to show non skippable ads only. One can set to show skippable videos only or banner ads only.

So where is the problem?

The problem is, ads are not available all the time to a particular video. When a user watches a youtube video, at the back end, bidding takes place which is purely programmatically. The one which bids highest appears on youtube video. If none of the ads bid then no ad appears.

There fore by setting one particular format is going to reduce the chances of having good revenue. Thats why it is advised to keep all the three formats on.

Youtube shares in detail information about how your youtube videos are performing and how the revenues are generated.

Is there any other option available to have income from youtube?

Yes. There are plenty. Few of them which are widely followed

1. Sponsorship through Famebit

4. Affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is one of the popular medium to have passive income these days. In short, affiliate marketing, is promoting products of a company at various platforms and upon sale, company share profit. In general 10 percent commission is shared.

Ten simple Solutions to Lose Weight with in Months 2019

Over Weight has been a challenging issue in front of man to deal with. In this article we are going to discuss ten simple solutions to lose weight in months. 

1. Drink water 

No we are not talking here about drinking water sufficiently. But we are talking here to drink plenty water. If you drink four bottles of water per day. Then drink eight bottles of water. Dont drink at one time. But drink frequently. Drink at the gap of half an hour or fifteen minutes. 

2. Eat keeping self hungry

In various books, it is clearly mentioned, dont eat food filling stomach completely. Eat food in such a way that, you remain hungry. So the point here is eat less but increase routine. If you used to eat thrice a day. Then eat eight times a day and reduce down the food to one fourth in each meal. 

3. Walk after each meal

Walk after each meal. In general after meal, we either sit and work or sleep. This is totally bad habit. Walk atleast 15 minutes after meal. 

4. Fast walk dont run

To lose wait people run in playground or in zym. But the efficient way is to fast walk. Dont run at all. Imagine, you have important flight to catch at 10. And its already 9:55. And you are at a distance of 15 minutes walk and you are not getting taxi. In such scenario, how would you walk? Similar fashion, walk fast as if you have to catch a flight and you are not getting traffic. 

5. Stay happy

Accept the reality. Dont dishonour your body for being over weight. Accept the reality. And praise your brain. It is very essential. Sad brain wont take you any where. Always praise no matter how bad things are going. Brain has super powers. And it will help you only if you respect brain and keep it away from stress. 

6. Avoid Sugar

Sugar is one of the root reason behind over weight. So strictly no to sugar

7. Take vitamin capsules

When we differ from general routine food meal, we end up in lacking vitamins in our body. Vitamin deficiency may invite to new health related issues. So I consult a doctor and take appropriate vitamin capsules. 

8. Try yoga

Yoga is not some kind of magic. It is purely exercise. It helps to reduce down stress. There are plenty platform available where yoga trainings are available. Try them. 

9. Maintain discipline

Discipline is important in any situation to get better result. Sleep early and wake up early. Dont miss the sun rise. Befriend with new people. Be nice to everyone. Even if some one is sad around you. Make them laugh. A positive energy pulls positive energy. 

10. Be religious

There is religion for a reason. I am not suggesting to which religion you should follow. But I am seriously suggesting you to be religious human being. Follow your rituals. It would help to gain more positive energy.

If you are having serious health issues, then before following above guidelines consult a doctor. 

12 Super Simple tricks that can increase views and subscribers on your youtube channel

Struggling for views and subscribers on your youtube channel! This article may help you in gaining views and subscribers.

I dont have to mention, today, youtube has become one of the strong platform which can easily provide a 6 digit monthly income. The biggest market for aspiring youtubers are Indian Market. Thats why most of the youtubers are discussing topics related to India, so that they can get Indian traffic.

The entire business of online platform strictly dependent upon traffic. Unfortunately lots of aspiring youtubers are not aware of these reality. So this article is going to help you to know what should you do before publishing your video to your youtube channel.

Why preparation is important?

Because of competition. Today no matter which topic you have planned to discuss in the video, there is hundreds, thousands of videos already there. If you simply post it, then you would land up in less or zero traffic to your uploaded video. So preparation is important.

12 Super Simple tricks that can increase views and subscribers

Following simple tricks can help to gain more views and subscribers. 

1. Be ready with attention grabber title

Title is the first thing, every youtube watcher notices first and then checks the video. No matter some one has no interest in the topic of the video but most of the time, attractive title pulls new visitors attention. In general, we provide a title that is related to video. But what if we add meaning to the title that the visitor is going to explore in the video. 

For Example: Make Money Online 2019

The above title is simple one. But what if we add some meaning to it. 

"10 super easy way to make money online from home with out investment"

There is hell and heaven difference in both the title. Second title provides a meaning to the visitor why he must watch the video. 

So think why would any one is going to watch video. Focus on that part and rest thing would be easy. 

2. Detailed Description

Description also plays vital information. You must be thinking, how many people read description before watching a video or after watching a video. It is true. There are very few people who checks the video description until unless explicitly there is not mentioned in the video to check the description. But you are forgetting one thing. 

Youtubes bot checks description. Earlier, two years or more back, description was not playing any role in terms helping video content to discover in the search results of the youtube. But past update of search engine algorithm, it is playing vital role. 

If you notice, in the new creator studio setup, there is clear mention description length is 5000. It can contain 5000 character. But we end up 500 or 1000 words. There is a reason, why it is showing 5000 maximum character length. 

So rework on published videos and add detailed information in the description section of each youtube video. 

And also provide detailed information in your future videos. 

3. Wisely collected tags

Tags are the keywords from which youtube search engine understands what kind of video it is. Tags are not helpful to appear a video in the youtube search results for certain keyword but also youtube algorithm going to suggest your youtube video depending upon the listed tags. 

Okay, from where do you get tags?

Just type few words, in youtube search box and it suggests frequently search keywords. So you can easily find keywords from there. But remember dont use more than 10 keywords in each video. 

4. Thumbnail

Apart from title, thumbnail is the another vital thing which visitor or viewer notices and watch youtube video. Few years back, there used to very very attractive thumbnail irrespective of the content that video has. It used to pull heavy traffic but user disappointed after discovering the content is meaningless. So now doing such thing is against youtube community. So dont use thumbnail which is going to disappoint the visitor. 

Thumbnail width: 1280 and height 720

Focus on the topic and its respective viewer. 

5. Set video language

Inside advanced settings there is option to set the language of the video. This would help youtube reach out its respective viewer. We make video in a regional language but did not set the video language. By this, youtube algorithm going to show the video to English Speaking people (Yes, Search engine has list of people and what language they speak, write and read). Such people after discovering the video language is not English, they immediate visit to another video. And this would hit search engines the video has less quality. Therefore gradually it may result in less view. 

So even if your video content language is English, then set it in the advanced section. 

6. Set Category

Inside the advanced settings, there is option to set the category of the video. Dont judge by setting this category my video is going to get traffic. Focus on content and set category accordingly. By setting category it helps search engine to suggest people on youtube who are interested in similar category videos. So set category according to your video. 

7. Allow Embedding

In advanced setting there is option allow or disallow embedding settings. In general, by default allow embedding is turned on. This feature allows others (any one in this world), to embed your video into their webpage. 

You might be thinking, why do youtube is allowing such sharing! First of all, if some one embeds your video into their webpage, then you are not going to have any loss. If a user watches your video in some one else's webpage then still your video gets watch time and view count. If your video is monetized then ads are going to appear in the video, you are going to get commission for the ads appearing in your video which is embedded in some one else's website. 

So if that guy who shared your youtube video in his webpage, not getting profit then why would he or she is sharing. For traffic. If he gets traffic then your video gets views. 

With out properly investigating most youtubers turn off this embed feature. Which you should not do. 

8.  Respond to some of the comments

Earlier youtube used to count views on youtube videos but these days, it notices the watch time on videos. Apart from watch time, how many people shared the video, how many people liked the video, how many people commented in the video also matters. Because some unknown people comment rudely, youtubes disable comments. But youtube is providing option to block such users. So dont disable comments. And also it matters how well you are interacting to the comments. If you notice, then you would find, most of the popular youtubers respond to the initial 50 or 100 comments. 

Interaction with comments can also help to grow. 

9. Do research on the targeted topic

Another important part is, Youtube is different today, as it used to be in earlier days. In 2014 I had started youtubing. Those days, just by publishing videos, I used to get 100 to 1000 views per day. But today,  I have to struggle. Because of large availability of content. So this also implies, the taste of youtube visitors has changed. 

For example, Blender is a 3d modeling software. If you check on search engines, then you would wonder, there are less than 10000 traffic for this keyword. Another solution just check on youtube blender 3d software and you would find, there are plenty video available but most of them have not crossed even 10000 views or 20000 views. 

Where as, if you check "whatsapp settings" app, then you would find, most of the videos has 10 lakh 20 lakh views. 

The point here, before making video, you must have to do research, how many searches are there each month, how well the topic is trending and how many views already there on such topic. 

If such topic videos has only 10 to 1000 views on most of the videos, then if you make video on such topic then you would never get views or subscribers. 

One of such topic is Search Engine Optimization. Just check, videos on this topic are not getting traffic more than 10000 views in a year. 

10. Quality Content

Today quality matters first. How visually your content is rich? How good quality audio your video has? Matters first. If you see the videos which get tremendous traffic are not poor in terms of video and audio. Apart from rich visual content, meaningful and engaging content matters.

See the secret here is, your videos getting tremendous traffic then that wont help you to grow. But if your videos getting tremendous traffic and that traffic is engaging with other videos available in the youtube channel, then such youtube channel is going to grow fast. 

It is similar to people visiting certain shops in a shopping mall but are not visiting other shops. So such shopping mall would never grow or do good business. But there is another shopping mall, where people visit certain shops but also explores other shops. Such shopping mall is definitely going to do good business. 

11. Provide, you have promised

Now, a visitor arrived on your video based upon title or thumbnail he has watched first. Now its time to deliver that you have made promised. If user gets what ever he was expecting then he is going to spend more time. Otherwise there is no lack of videos he or she would move to another video. So the point here is do proper research and spend more time on content and set title and thumbnail accordingly. Never disappoint audience. 

12. Notify about your upcoming videos

Another easiest way to keep your audience bank in hand is to keep on notifying what kind of content they are expecting next. One best solution is, youtube provides community tab to stay engaged with audience. Alternatively, make a facebook page, and twitter account and notify them about upcoming videos.

Apart from these simple tricks, sharing on social platform is good option to pull traffic to youtube videos. Publishing videos to own website can also add viewers and subscribers to youtube channel. Optionally publishing application for youtube channel can also increase traffic to youtube videos. 

Remember, now the algorithm of youtube engine is different. So you have to work smart. Competition is high and is getting higher.
