1: Ask for Subscribers
The simplest way to begin increasing your subscriber count is to start asking for it in your videos. Never assume that your viewer can read your mind. In your videos, give your audience a compelling call to action and ask them to click the “Subscribe” button right above your video.

2: Use Annotations
Annotations are the little colorful sticky notes that people paste all over their videos once they’ve been uploaded to YouTube. Although this tool is often overused, a few strategically placed annotations can make a world of difference for your YouTube marketing efforts.

3: Leverage Featured Channels
Another simple method for increasing your reach and scooping up more subscribers is tostrategically partner with other YouTube content-creators. Directly on your YouTube channel page is an option to add other “Featured Channels” of those “YouTubers” you like and recommend. When you get other channels that have a similar audience to feature you, you can expect to see new viewers coming your way very quickly!

4:Consistently Interact

When you start to understand that YouTube is a community, not just a place to host your videos, you will begin to see far more results when you interact with the other members of this community.

One of the best ways to build a following of subscribers is to support others in their YouTube marketing efforts. Comment, like and subscribe as frequently as possibleto other content-creators on YouTube, and wait for the reciprocation.

Take a few minutes a day to find some new and relevant YouTube channels, pay attention to their content and leave real, genuine comments. It’s a simple concept, really: the more you give, the more you get!

5: Create a YouTube Channel Trailer
In March 2013, YouTube introduced a fantastic marketing tool for creators in the form of a 'Channel' or 'Subscribe' trailer. This clip can be uploaded to the home page of your channel, and will auto-play if a non-subscriber arrives on that landing page. It stops auto-playing if the viewer subscribes (or turns it off every time). This feature is the PERFECT opportunity for you to introduce your brand and content to the viewer so why not create one today.

6:
Get Active on Social Media
Firstly, make sure that your social networks are linked to your YouTube channel so that your fan base can follow you wherever you may be active. Sounds obvious, but we are still seeing a lack of a cohesive strategy when it comes to social video marketing. You can assume that your followers, and potential followers will take the time to find your presence on the internet, or you can make it easy for them, and provide links.

Assuming that you are taking the time to be active on social media, posting links to your new, or most popular, video content should be second nature. This notifies your followers, and gives them the opportunity to like, share, retweet, revine, your video, meaning you will reach more people.

Best of Luck for you channel
