You don’t need a big budget to grow your YouTube channel! Here are practical, proven ways to promote your channel for free and attract genuine new viewers.
Social Media Sharing
- Share links on Instagram, X (Twitter), Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn—tailor your post style to each platform.
- Create short video snippets or YouTube Shorts as teasers.
Participate in Communities
- Be active in relevant Facebook Groups, Reddit subreddits, and forums—but focus on value, not spam!
- Drop your link only where allowed and when it’s truly helpful.
Collaborate and Cross-Promote
- Swap shoutouts or collab with similar channels—see collaboration tips.
Leverage the YouTube Community Tab
Engage fans between uploads. Polls, behind-the-scenes, and questions keep your brand top of mind (more at Using the Community Tab).
Add Links Everywhere
- Put your channel and video links in your email signature, bio links, and on your website/blog.
