How to Get Your First 5000 Subscribers or More on YouTube or Your Blog
I hit 5000 YouTube subscribers last month. In this video I share what I did to get there. You can use these techniques to grow your blog subscriber list, email subscriber list or video channel subscriber base from zero to 5000 and beyond! It takes hard work and it doesn’t happen over night, but if I can do it, you can.
This “How To” is targeted to my audience of entrepreneurs and creative professionals but is also useful and actionable for anyone interested in brand strategy, business planning, design, marketing and communications.

Thank you for this lovely info
Hey guys
Want to grow my channel too need some support anything will help😍😍
I can totally agree that the biggest thing to do is….start! That goes for anything worthwhile, whether it's learning some new or trying to create something big. We all start at 0 with no experience. I don't believe that anyone is a 'born natural' at anything. That idea is almost insulting to the people who worked hard to get where they are and people go 'oh you must just be a natural'.
Thank you so much, your share are really healthful for me.
I just discovered your channel. You're amazing! Thank you for all the great tips and advise. And I wish you big success in the future.
Subed 😉
I have created a DIY more than a year ago I still don't see my channel going anywhere….i have made 47 videos….i also create nice thumbnails…..my channel is ' Creator's Bay '…….i m from India….
Hey Philip , I have a suggestion lol. Could you please make a video on how to find a good logo designer ,choose the right logo for your brand and how to communicate with your designer through the internet?
Great content, THANKS SO MUCH
Congratulations on 6k! (Though this is only the beginning).
You really deserve more followers, your content is top notch. Thank you.
I subscribed already .. I like ur content so much .. thanks for sharing ur knowledge .. it helps me a lot as a graphic designer🙏😊✋
I am from India. I don't think I am going to succeed if I post my contents in English as there are plenty of videos of the same kind already. That's why I think of making videos for the local audiences (in a regional language). But I am worried that I may not cover as many audience throughout the world as I would if my videos were in English. How do I go about this?
