Are you posting videos to YouTube but not seeing much traction?

You’re not alone—and you’re not doing anything wrong. But a few small shifts could make a big difference.

In this Friday Fuel episode, I’m breaking down four simple, strategic ways subscription box owners can grow their audience on YouTube—without expensive equipment, complicated editing, or hoping a video goes viral.

Whether you're just getting started or trying to revive a slow-growing channel, these tips will help you show up with purpose and turn casual viewers into loyal subscribers.

 

1. Be consistent with what you post on your YouTube channel. 

Think of your channel like a favorite show. Your audience should know what kind of content to expect and when to expect it. 

Choose video types that work for your subscription box, including: 

  • Monthly unboxings 
  • Behind the scenes
  • Style guides
  • How tos/tutorials 
  • Subscriber stories
  • Q&As 

 

2. YouTube video titles and thumbnails “sell the click.” 

It doesn’t matter how good your video is if you can’t get people to click on it! 

Your goal is to grab your audience’s attention and tell them what the video is about. Clarity beats clever when it comes to titles! For thumbnails, faces matter! Use brand colors and faces to capture attention. 

 

3. Win viewers over in the first 30 seconds.

The longer people watch your videos, the more YouTube’s algorithm rewards you by showing your videos to more people. 

Grab viewers' attention quickly and keep them watching by: 

  • Clearly stating what the video is about
  • Building curiosity
  • Showing energy and confidence 

 

4. Tell your YouTube viewers what to do next. 

Every video needs a CTA (call to action). Tell viewers what you want them to do next: 

  • Subscribe to your channel
  • Join your waitlist
  • Drop a comment
  • Download a freebie
