Easiest Way to Get More YouTube Subscribers

Creating amazing YouTube videos is only half the battle. The real challenge is getting them in front of the right people who will actually watch and subscribe.

But your biggest opportunity for new subscribers might just be sitting right on your own website.

Think about it – the people visiting your website are already interested in what you do. They’re the perfect audience for your YouTube content. This is where YouTube Feed Pro comes in.

This plugin lets you showcase your YouTube videos directly on your WordPress site, turning casual website visitors into engaged subscribers.

Here’s why this approach works so well:

• Your audience is already interested: Website visitors know your brand, so they’re much more likely to subscribe than random viewers.
• Fresh content helps your SEO: Google loves sites with regularly updated content, and your YouTube videos provide exactly that.
• Increase your conversions: You can highlight video testimonials and reviews to get more people buying your products.

• Social proof builds trust: When people see your video content and subscriber count, it adds credibility to your brand.
• Keep your visitors engaged: To keep people on your site for longer and engage them with real-time content, you can display your live streams.

The best part? YouTube Feed Pro handles everything automatically. When you publish a new video, it appears on your website without you lifting a finger.

I’ve seen creators double their subscriber growth just by adding their YouTube feed to their homepage. It’s that simple.

How to Promote Your YouTube Channel on Facebook

Now let’s dive into the proven strategies that can help you tap into Facebook’s massive audience to grow your YouTube channel.

These methods work because they meet people where they already spend their time. Instead of hoping viewers find you on YouTube, you’re actively bringing your content to them on Facebook.

So let’s get started!

1. Post Your Videos on Your Facebook Page

The simplest way to get more YouTube views is to share your videos directly on your Facebook page. Every time you publish new content, cross-promote it to reach your Facebook audience.

This strategy works because your Facebook followers already know and trust you. They’re much more likely to watch your YouTube content than complete strangers browsing the platform.

Facebook also makes it incredibly easy to engage with viewers. People can comment directly on your post, ask questions, and start conversations about your content.

I recommend responding to every comment when possible. This builds stronger relationships with your audience and helps you understand what type of content they want to see next.

Here’s a bonus tip: your Facebook video posts can reach even more people when you embed them on your website.

Using Facebook Feed Pro, you can automatically display your Facebook posts on your site.

This means your website visitors will see your Facebook page and the discussions happening around them. It creates social proof and shows that you have an active, engaged community.

Plus, your website visitors can even discover your YouTube channel through these embedded Facebook posts.

And the best part is that the plugin updates your website automatically whenever you post new content, so you don’t need to manually update anything.

Expert Tip: To get started quickly, take a look at our tutorial on how to embed Facebook feeds on WordPress.

2. Show Facebook and YouTube Feeds on Your Page

Here’s a smart way to get more out of your existing content: display both your Facebook and YouTube feeds on your website at the same time.

This approach works because it shows visitors that you’re active on multiple platforms. When Facebook followers see your YouTube content is equally important, they’re more likely to subscribe to your channel.

You can easily turn your website traffic into followers and subscribers on both platforms. Visitors who discover you through search or referrals will see all your social content in one place.

The real magic happens when you combine both feeds into a single social wall. This creates an engaging experience where visitors see different types of content and get a complete picture of your brand.

For the quickest way of setting this up, you can use the Social Wall Pro plugin.

With just a few clicks, you can create a beautiful display that automatically pulls content from both platforms.

Whenever you publish a new YouTube video or Facebook post, it appears on your social wall without any extra work from you. This keeps your website fresh and engaging for repeat visitors.

Social Wall Pro supports all the major social platforms, so you can expand beyond just Facebook and YouTube:

• Facebook
• YouTube
• TikTok
• Instagram
• Twitter

I’ve found that websites with social walls tend to keep visitors engaged longer.

People love scrolling through authentic social content, and it often leads them to follow you on multiple platforms.

To set this up on your site, check out our guide on how to add social media feeds to your site.

3. Create a Facebook Group for Your Channel

Building a Facebook group around your YouTube channel is one of the smartest moves you can make as a content creator.

Groups create a sense of community that’s much stronger than what you get from a regular Facebook page.

Here’s why this works so well: people feel like they’re part of something special when they join a group. They’re not just passive viewers – they become active community members who support each other and your content.

Your Facebook group becomes the perfect place to share new YouTube videos and get immediate feedback.

Group members are much more likely to watch, comment on, and share your content because they feel personally invested in your success.

The engagement in groups is typically much higher than on regular pages. People ask questions, share their own experiences, and create discussions around your video topics.

For an easy start, you can take a look at our beginner’s guide on how to embed a Facebook group feed.

4. Link Your Channel on Your About Section

Here’s a simple way to promote your channel: add a YouTube link on the “About section” of your Facebook page.

So, people on Facebook can clearly see where to go for video content related to your brand.

Plus, it also shows that your brand endorses the YouTube channel. Because of that, people will know that your YouTube channel contains your official content.

And if you want more people clicking the link, you can add a Call-to-Action (CTA) too. All you have to do is write a short sentence that’ll get people to check out your YouTube channel.

5. Share Channel Announcements to Facebook

Want more engagement for your YouTube channel? You can try posting your announcements on Facebook.

That way, your Facebook followers get a taste of what’s coming next, which builds hype for your YouTube videos.

So, even more people will subscribe to your YouTube channel to avoid missing your new content.

If you want your announcements to reach other people, you can embed your Facebook post on your website.

With that, you can also get your website visitors curious about your new content and turn them into YouTube subscribers.

6. Create Engaging Thumbnails

If your YouTube thumbnails are eye-catching, you can get a lot more people watching your videos.

In fact, here’s what YouTube says about thumbnails:

“Usually, viewers will first see your thumbnail and title. This info gives them a glimpse of what your video is about and helps them decide if they want to watch it. Fun fact: 90% of the best-performing videos have custom thumbnails.”

YouTube Help

An engaging thumbnail can also get you more attention whenever you share your YouTube videos on Facebook.

When people on Facebook see an interesting thumbnail, they’re much more likely to click. So you can get a lot more likes, subscribers and watch time.

For example, check out this thumbnail for a WPBeginner video that gets a lot of clicks.

Here are a few things that you can take from this example:

• Use colors that stand out from YouTube’s color scheme
• Show text with a font size that’s readable even on mobile
• Make it clear what the video will be about
• Add your branding so it’s immediately clear whose video it is

Once you do that, you’ll have a much easier time getting people to click on your thumbnails. So, you’ll get more Facebook users watching your YouTube videos.

7. Discuss Channel Ideas on Facebook

When it comes to interacting with people, Facebook is a lot better than YouTube. It’s much easier for content creators to get feedback from their target audience and improve their videos.

If you ask people what kind of content they want, you can easily get lots of new ideas. Plus, people will engage with your YouTube content more since they have input on your videos.

You can even get fans involved in making the decisions on your YouTube channel. Just use Facebook polls or just directly ask for their opinion.

Finally, you can also embed your discussion posts from Facebook on your website. That way, you can get your website visitors involved with your YouTube channel too.

Just check out our guide on how to add Facebook posts to WordPress, and you can see how that’s done.

8. Make Promo Videos

Another effective way to promote your YouTube channel on Facebook is to post promo videos.

You can just post short clips from your YouTube video on your Facebook page or group. Then, link your full video and tell people to go to your YouTube channel if they want to see the rest of it.

Since these teasers are super short, people are more likely to watch them in full.

What’s more, you can post these promos on TikTok and reach even more potential subscribers for your YouTube channel.

In case you don’t have an active following on TikTok yet, we’ve got you covered. Using TikTok Feed Pro, you can embed TikTok feeds and convert website visitors into TikTok followers with ease.

9. Run a Facebook Giveaway to Promote Your Channel

Finally, you can run giveaways for a super easy way to get tons of interactions for your YouTube channel.

With a giveaway, you can reward people if they engage with your videos. Since there’s a chance of getting a prize, people will be much more likely to watch, like, or subscribe to your YouTube channel.

You can just announce the giveaway on your Facebook page or group to get the people there to participate.

Plus, they can also share the giveaway with others on Facebook and help you reach tons of new potential subscribers.

You can then use Facebook Feed Pro to post the giveaway announcement on your website. After that, your website visitors can participate in the giveaway, so you’ll get even more engagement.

All this can be super easy with one amazing tool: RafflePress.

Using RafflePress, you can easily create your giveaways using the drag-and-drop builder — no coding needed at all.

Plus, RafflePress can start the giveaway at the right time, manage the rules, block fake entries, and end the giveaway all on its own.

In fact, you can just grab the template created to help YouTube channels grow and get started right away!

Using this template, you can get people to watch a video, subscribe to your channel, or press the like button to join the giveaway.

As a result, you can get tons of engagement and new subscribers from the people participating in the giveaway.
