Growing a following and how I’m doing it

Why do you want a following:

1. Business-related
   1. Grow within a Niche, release a product
      1. Simplest way to make side money
      2. No real special education, low risk, only takes consistency and creativity
   2. A single interaction (post, comment, etc) has a greater impact
   3. Advertisers will WANT you
   4. Money
      1. Vine 20-50,000$ per ad campaign
      2. 16 year old girl hits “Revine”. Gets 2,000

• Over 22 Youtubers earn at least 1 million per year
  1. Ad money alone- Most of these people have multiple channels or products
  2. Pewdiepie 12.7M from Youtube
     1. Own Youtube red series
     2. Sponsored from tech companies
  3. Prankvprank -massive 8 million subscriber channel
     1. Released one sarcastic song about chocolate chip cookies
        1. #1 song in Sweden for 1 weeks
     2. Cool things can happen
  4. Outside of business
     1. Social Market Value
     2. More rewarding social media experience

Insights and how I do it

1. Automate and hands-free
   1. Instagress Went from 150 to 750 followers in a few months
   2. Latergramme- Schedule posts to free up your time
2. Batch your content
   1. Set aside time to create a bunch of clips
3. Have a good name
   1. Brands grow faster than people
4. Content frequency
   1. Posting increases chances for more interaction
   2. Investigate time of day
5. Quality
6. Be genuine
   1. “I need to post something today”. It’s most likely going to be garbage, feel forced, and that will relay to your followers
   2. What you want I’m actually doing this, I feel as though this is worth sharing
7. Experiment
   1. “how else can I bring people in”-Comedy-Ball rolling video
      1. High viral potential
   2. Play segments of the podcast interviews with videos of the athlete performing
   3. Different or unique
      1. “How else can I draw people to this page”
   4. Shorter posts tend to do a lot better
   5. Time of day
8. Use your hashtags!
   1. Don’t sit back and hope things will happen
   2. Branding and growing, you have to be shameless when it comes to hashtags
   3. Flexibility, strength, flip, balance
      1. Variety of hashtags to pull from, keep drawing in different eyes and views
   4. Recognize what isn’t working and learn from your mistakes
