Having a featured channel on YouTube will attract a wider audience. Depending on your preferences, you can add or remove featured videos. Then, you can move featured channels to another location. You can also change the channel name to something else and keep the same title. But how to add featured channels on YouTube? Read on to learn how.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Featured_channels_attract_larger_target_audiences\"><\/span>Featured channels attract larger target audiences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the most effective ways to increase subscribers and traffic to your YouTube channel is to be featured. YouTube&#8217;s algorithms determine which channels are featured and which are not. Featured channels are recommended to viewers and attract more subscribers to those channels. These channels have more videos, informative content, and have a wider following. Learn how to add featured channels to your YouTube channel. You can even use a video editor to make high-quality videos.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring your YouTube channel is much easier than you may think. First, upload your channels and videos to YouTube. To change the featured channel, place your mouse cursor over the double-line next to the channel name. Then, drag it to the right until you&#8217;ve reached the name you want to feature. After changing the featured channel, the channel name will automatically change. Featured channels attract more targeted audiences on YouTube, so make sure that you&#8217;re always providing up-to-date content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promote_other_YouTubers\"><\/span>Promote other YouTubers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A great way to increase your viewers&#8217; engagement and visibility is to feature other YouTubers on your channel. By featuring other YouTubers, you&#8217;ll increase their views and subscribers, while also giving them a reason to visit your own channel. Besides, highlighting other YouTube channels helps you connect with colleagues and clients. To increase your subscribers, you can even add your own channel to the list of featured channels. Here&#8217;s how to do it:<\/p>\n<p>First, make sure to mention the other YouTubers&#8217; channel. If possible, select YouTube channels with similar target audiences. Another option is to use the Social Blade service to help you choose other YouTube channels to cross-promote. Remember that the goal is to get as many views and subscribers as possible. If you&#8217;re promoting other YouTubers&#8217; videos, be sure to mention them in the video description or the graphics slides.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promote_your_business\"><\/span>Promote your business<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to promote your business on YouTube, you&#8217;ve probably heard of promoted channels. These are videos that other people have liked or subscribed to. When you highlight a video, it shows activity within the YouTube community and directs traffic to the videos&#8217; owners. Just be sure to highlight videos related to your business niche. Avoid featuring videos from direct competitors. Another way to promote your business on YouTube is to organize your videos into playlists. These playlists appear below your uploaded videos.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve added your channel, you need to include a brief description about your company. Include your company name, website, tagline, mission statement, and contact information. Also, include at least three links and an email address. Your description must be consistent with the rest of your branding. Once your profile description is complete, click the &#8220;Add featured channels&#8221; button. You can then drag and drop the channels into the desired order.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Promote_your_friends\"><\/span>Promote your friends<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to grow your audience is to promote your friends on YouTube. Friends tend to have the largest networks. Having a video of your latest YouTube video posted by your friend can help spread the word among your friends, who have a higher chance of watching it and sharing it with their friends. Your friends may even have other networks that your own. This is the simplest form of influencer marketing. Whether you are just starting out or have been around for a while, you can leverage your friends to share your latest YouTube videos with their networks.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iGz6W95aKhk\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"398\" height=\"222\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Add Featured Channels on YouTube If you have a YouTube channel, you can use this feature to promote other users on your channel.
