But the competition is quite high as everyone is looking to become popular and monetize their videos. So, to be able to get above the rest your marketing and promotion strategy needs to be quite good. Many people need help with it and to get online credibility they buy YouTube views or subscribers. This way they can artificially boost the stats of their channel and videos to get more YouTube video views.
But one of the best ways to get more eyes on your YouTube channel and get more YouTube video views is to promote your channel on other popular social media platforms. Today, TikTok is quite popular in the social media industry. Millions of people are active on this platform and the short video format is becoming quite trendy. But you cannot monetize videos on TikTok. So, if you want to earn from your TikTok follower base you either have to get sponsorship deals or get them to your YouTube channel. This article is going to look at a few ways you can utilize TikTok to promote your YouTube channel.
- Short Videos Similar to Your Youtube Content
One of the best ways that you can promote your YouTube channel on TikTok is to just show the people what they can expect from you as a content creator. But one of the worst things that you can do is just put a YouTube format video on TikTok. TikTok shows video in the vertical format so you have to exclusively make videos in this format to gain more followers on TikTok. Plus, TikTok is a platform where the videos are very short. Only if you can impress people in this short time they will want to check out your YouTube channel for longer videos.
So, sit down and decide on short content that you can easily film in the vertical style and upload on TikTok. Try to keep the style the same. Let’s take an easy example. A lot of chefs who upload videos on YouTube create shorter TikTok videos which deal either with a recipe or tips and tricks. This helps them garner more views and if people really like the recipes and tips they will want to come back for more and may want to check out the YouTube channel. If you are a reaction channel then you can use TikTok various different formats to club the video that you are reacting to along with your reaction.
Be creative about it and show people why they should go to your YouTube channel.
- Be Consistent
Like promoting on any other social media platforms if you want to bring followers from TikTok to your YouTube channel then you first have to get a lot of followers on TikTok. One of the basic things that you have to keep in mind while using TikTok for getting more followers is that you have to upload regularly and consistently. Just because your video length is shorter and you have to upload a lot more videos, you cannot compromise with the quality of the video. Your videos still need to be entertaining for the audience otherwise you will get drowned in the hundreds of thousands of videos on the explore page. But if you consistently upload good quality videos once a person sees your video on TikTok they will be more likely to click on another video by you since they already enjoyed the previous one. This way you can get more followers on TikTok and slowly start getting a percentage of them to your YouTube channel.
- Add Your YouTube Channel to TikTok

- Use Fan Content
This is another Great way to keep your fans loyal to you and increase your TikTok followers. One of the most popular TikTok features is the one where people put their video side by side with another and then either react to it or just do other creative stuff to create more entertaining content. You can use this feature to create stuff with your fans. Ask your fans to upload videos in your style or videos related to you and then you use those videos as your own content and upload it. This way your followers will be loyal to you as you are interacting with them and making them feel involved. Now you can take this idea and put it on YouTube. Let the fans know that if they make TikTok videos either related to you or recasting to other TikTok content then they will end up in your YouTube video.
