• Your competitors’ most popular video- You competitor also caters to the same audience base as yours. This gives you better chances to see the videos the audiences love. You could figure out the keywords optimised in the video and work accordingly. 

• Low competitive keywords for new channels- Yes, it does sound absurd. But a new channel on YouTube should compete with other new growing channels. This is done to avoid a heavy keyword competition from already existing channels. Consistency is key!

• Create videos that audience will love- Audience retention is a huge factor in YouTube. This basically means people love your videos enough to watch them till the end. When till happens, your chances for showing up on Search and Suggested Videos becomes higher. 

• Encourage comments from the audience- In order to make the videos in your channel more interactive and popular among your audience, encourage them to comment. Asking people to leave comments isn’t enough. Make the content worth commenting upon. Make the content interactive.

• Say your target keyword in the video- YouTube makes an automatic script of your video. As a result, your video will be noticed by YouTube SEO once you say the keyword. 

• Promote your videos everywhere- One of the most common and effective ways to gain an audience is to promote your content in every platform. The more the viewers, the better.
