Hi ALL! I am George Pierce, this post is about your Welcome Video, with a few little tricks and tips included, that you can use to help your channel get more attention, more clicks, and more subscribers. What I have discovered about welcome videos is that most YouTubers do as I did (which is WRONG!). They fail to create a welcome video when their channel is new, and that is when it will do us the most good. Our welcome video should be short, friendly (welcoming), informative (what our viewers will find on our channel), and ASK for viewers to join our channel.
Gray Hat Trick
Above is an image of Clint Eastwood. It is a public domain image of Clint that is OK to use. The idea behind this strategy is that images of well-known people such as celebrities, politicians, and sports stars are more likely to grab attention and, therefore, are more likely to get clicks. The trick that I use is to search for someone such as Clint Eastwood and follow the name with the word 'Wikimedia' or 'Wikimedia Commons'.
There are usually one or more images that are legally available to use, all we need to do is to give attribution.
Our Welcome Video should briefly explain what our viewers can expect to see in our videos, with a CTA that aks them to join. If you share your videos on multiple platforms, and you should, then you might want to consider using 'JOIN' instead of subscribe. Although it may seem obvious, include in your CTA that the benefit is that they will know when new videos are uploaded.
New channels need exposure, as much as possible. You can share your welcome video, on Social Media sites multiple times regularly.
As your channel grows, consider changing your video with a new welcome video, and/or your most watched videos.
A welcome video can help you get subscribers and that is part of its job, and sharing your welcome video will boost views.
Thank you for reading.
Much Success,
George Pierce
