How to increase the subscirbers and views of my youtube channel ???

"Hey everyone, My self Anand Padmanabhan, I’ve been working really hard on my YouTube channel, and while I’m super passionate about the content I’m creating, I’m hitting a bit of a wall when it comes to growth. 😕 I know it takes time, but I’m really hoping to boost my traffic, get more views, and increase my subscriber count, but I’m not sure where to focus my efforts.

Should I be tweaking my titles and thumbnails to make them more clickable? 📸 How do I find that balance between creating more Shorts vs long-format content? 🎥 I’ve heard a lot about SEO for YouTube – but how crucial is it really? Also, when it comes to boosting watch hours, what’s the best approach? ⏰

I’m also curious about promoting my channel outside of YouTube – are there any methods that really work? 🔗 Any tips on social media strategies or collaborations? Honestly, any advice you can offer would be amazing! I just want to make sure I’m doing everything I can to reach a wider audience and build a loyal community."

Looking forward for help and support

Thanks in advance
