More importantly, you\u2019ll have actionable steps that you can use to boost your subscribers and grow your channel on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>To understand this in context, let\u2019s look at some facts first. YouTube is the world\u2019s second-largest search engine. It\u2019s also the top streaming platform. Hundreds of millions of creators jump onto the YouTube bandwagon yearly\u2014but only a tiny percentage succeed.<\/p>\n<h2>Is it worth investing the time to become a better YouTube Creator?<\/h2>\n<p>Absolutely\u2014and the numbers confirm my thinking, too. YouTube\u2019s 4.95 billion monthly active users eclipses Netflix\u2019s 40 million. And according to SocialBlade, YouTube has over 61 million creators. The platform has one of the best creator programs in the world, and it has a growing collection of high-quality, free resources. If you put in the time and energy, I believe YouTube can open up incredible opportunities for you and your business.<\/p>\n<p>As a YouTube Creator, I always leap at the opportunity to learn from others in this space. In the past, we\u2019ve gained wisdom on The Smart Passive Income Podcast from more prominent YouTube creators like MKBHD and Sean Cannell. But this time, I wanted to speak to an up-and-rising YouTube creator. We liked what Aprilynne was doing with her YouTube channel, so we invited her to the show.<\/p>\n<h2>12x YouTube subscriber growth in four weeks<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Aprilynne grew her YouTube channel from 1,000 to over 12,000 subscribers in four straight weeks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And yep\u2014those are real numbers. As I write this post, I see that her channel has over 52,047 subscribers. But that\u2019s not why I\u2019m sharing Aprilynne\u2019s lessons with you. Here\u2019s why I think her approach is worth examining:<\/p>\n<p>Like most internet-based platforms or social media, YouTube is rapidly evolving too. And that\u2019s why Aprilynne\u2019s learnings are very relevant\u2014because everything you\u2019re about to learn is based on what she discovered by doing in the last six months.<\/p>\n<p>Adding tens of thousands of new subscribers to a brand-new YouTube channel isn\u2019t easy. Aprilynne doesn\u2019t have a background in media or video either\u2014in fact, she previously quit a career in finance! She also had a challenging experience with her first YouTube channel.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s also achieved this without creating too many videos\u2014her channel has just twenty-four videos as I write this. It\u2019s evident that Aprilynne\u2019s success comes from careful research\u2014she\u2019s been studying the best YouTube creators. Take a closer look, and you\u2019ll see the results of her study: four out of the twenty-four videos have over 200K views. And one of the four videos has over 800K views!<\/p>\n<h2>So, what did Aprilynne do differently with her second YouTube channel?<\/h2>\n<p>When I spoke to her on the podcast, it all started to come together. So, without further ado, let\u2019s get into Aprilynne\u2019s four-step process for YouTube subscriber growth. Implementing these four steps will definitely help you grow your YouTube channel fast. So get ready to take notes because this one is super actionable!<\/p>\n<h2>Go deeper with YouTube growth<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to start a YouTube channel, my YouTube From Scratch course\u2014which I created with my friend and videographer Caleb Wojcik\u2014is the perfect place to start.
