Want to add YouTube subscribe button to get more YouTube subscriber base?
One of the easiest ways to grow your social media follower is by placing the subscription button on your blog. If you have a decent traffic blog, subscribe buttons for different social networking sites, will make it easier for your readers to follow you.
Earlier I have covered about Facebook fan box, and today I will be talking about YouTube subscribe button for your YouTube channel.
YouTube is one of the popular video sharing sites, and for any content marketer, it’s one of the must-have social channels.
I publish atleast 3-5 videos every month on my YouTube channel over here, and I could see a significant growth of followers due to updates, and also due to Youtube subscribe button, here at ShoutMeLoud sidebar.
How to create YouTube subscribe button:
Youtube released new buttons for channel subscription, and surprisingly this time they also rolled out subscription button for paid channels too.
This new Youtube channel subscription button can be grabbed from the official page over here, and it comes with few customization options. The best part about new YouTube subscribe button is, your readers can directly subscribe to your Youtube page, without leaving your blog. Provided, they are logged into their Google account.
You can create your YouTube follow button by using your Youtube channel name or channel ID. You can grab channel ID from this page.
Once you have generated the code, you can use it on any kind of blog (Blogger, WordPress) or even in your blog articles.
Here is an example of how new Youtube buttons will look like:
You can also use the above widget to subscribe to my YouTube channel.
