\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSteve Dotto here and I am welcoming you to this new video series where I\u00edm going to document growth, experiments and different things that we\u00edre doing on YouTube to try and grow, build and engage the community online. I\u00edm going to give you a bit of background to start. We have had this channel active for about a year now. For the first nine months that I had it active, it was very slow going. I was kind of figuring things out as far as how regularly I published and kind of finding my voice online. After doing a network TV show which I did here in Canada, figuring out exactly how I wanted to present on YouTube took a little bit of time and also figuring out how to reach an audience, how to consistently get it and build an audience.\nIn the last three months, we\u00edve seen some really significant growth. Now this isn\u00edt the meteoric growth of a viral video gone crazy with suddenly 600,000 fans and 600,000 followers. This is a channel which is dedicated to productivity. I\u00edm building it as far as teaching people to use their technology more effectively, which follows in line with the reputation I have in Canada of being a coach and teaching people how to use technology and how it fits in their lives. So I\u00edve got a fairly narrow focus and not high entertainment level, high knowledge and high educational value in my videos.\nSo over that, over the course of the first nine months, we grew by 300 to 400 subscribers a month from 800 to around 3,000 to 4,000. Then about three or four months ago, I hit on a few different ways of helping to grow the channel more effectively. I hit on a much better system or much better voice as far as delivering my videos and I\u00edll talk about that in subsequent videos. But now we\u00edre seen some significant growth, again not organic growth but this is planned growth. This is strategic where I\u00edve actually managed to grow my channel from about 5,000 or 6,000, or 4,000 I should say, to just under 12,000 as of today.\nBut there are so many different little questions that we have and so many little different things that we try along the way to try and grow our YouTube channel. I thought this would be the start of my documenting it for you and allow you to kind of follow along with some of the mistakes I make and some of the successes I make as you build your own YouTube offering, lessons learned from this.\nSo as of today, we now have just about under 12,000 subscribers. We\u00edre growing by a couple of thousand a month and we have about 75,000 views a month, not huge by YouTube standards but now it\u00eds significant. When I post a video, I have immediate traction. I know right away whether it\u00eds a good one or a bad one based on the numbers and I\u00edm getting a lot of feedback. And I\u00edm starting to see accelerated growth in all areas. Now I\u00edm going to see what I can do to help increase that growth and make sure that not only am I reaching more people but also discover how to reach the right people as I grow my YouTube channel. So we\u00edll be going through all the different tools and all the different things that I do here online in subsequent videos.\nSo welcome aboard. I hope you find this particular series to be valuable, to be interesting, and to make a difference as you build your online presence.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
