Looking to get more subscribers to your YouTube channel in 2024?

In this post, you’re going to learn a simple trick that will instantly increase the number of people who subscribe to your channel (it’s free and it’s recommended by YouTube themselves).

Here’s the trick:

You need to be utilizing your channel’s subscribe link.

If you don’t know what a subscribe link is and why they matter, no worries — scroll to the bottom where the explanation is or just watch this helpful video that explains everything you need to know (and how to make them):

Here’s how to create your YouTube channel’s built-in subscription link:

Step 1.

Get your channel’s URL (move on to step 2 if you already know how to get your YouTube channel’s URL).

Here’s one easy way to find your channel’s URL:

Simply go into an incognito window on your browser

Pull up YouTube

Search and find your channel on YouTube

Tap ‘Home’

Copy the URL

Search your YouTube channel and tap your channel page

Now tap ‘Home’

Copy the URL

Step 2.

Take your URL and add ?sub_confirmation=1 to the end of it.

For example, here is my channel’s YouTube URL:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCl2jNiq94Xao7xUTIxOxtg

In order to create a link that people can tap and immediately be prompted to subscribe, simply add the

?sub_confirmation=1

to the end of your channel’s url like so:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCl2jNiq94Xao7xUTIxOxtg?sub_confirmation=1

Here’s what people will be shown when they tap your new link:

*Why this matters:

Instead of sending people to your regular channel link, you should always use your built-in subscription link.

Why?

When someone (who doesn’t subscribe to your channel) taps your subscription link, they’re sent to your YouTube channel and a pop-up asks them to subscribe.

This may seem subtle… but over the long run, you’ll get more subscribers to your channel vs just sending people to your regular URL.

*Important note:

When someone taps your YouTube channel’s built in subscription link on mobile, the pop-up asking them to subscribe to your channel won’t appear.

This YouTube channel growth trick only works on desktop.
