Create a link to your YouTube channel
Start by making your channel professional to expand your reach on YouTube.
Your YouTube link is the first step to gaining more subscribers. This is how it works:
- The link to your YouTube channel looks like this, for example:https://www.youtube.com/user/WorkoutMusicService
- Add the following extension to your URL: ?sub_confirmation=1
Your new link will look like this: https://www.youtube.com/user/WorkoutMusicService?sub_confirmation=1
When someone clicks on this link, a pop-up window will immediately appear asking them to subscribe to your channel. This increases the likelihood that visitors will subscribe to your channel.
Shorten the YouTube link
A long link often looks unprofessional and impractical. That's why you should shorten it. A short link is easier to remember and share.
- Use services like Bitly or TinyURL to shorten your YouTube link
- Copy your edited YouTube link into the field provided
- Click on "shorten" and you will receive a compact link

Here are some suggestions for where you can share the link:
- Replace the previous link in the bio of your Instagram profile
- Facebook profile and in Facebook posts or groups
- Integrate the link on the homepage of your website or in your blog
- Comments: Leave the link in suitable blog posts or forums
- Email signature
