How did one video help bring us 7,000 out of our 10,557 subscribers? It wasn't because we got tons of views. It wasn't because we filled the room with post-it notes that encouraged people to subscribe. It wasn't even because it had a perfect loop. And this might blow your mind, but most of the people that subscribed didn't even watch the video. But how's that possible? Well, it's because I made the video title subscribe if this is helpful and added it to almost every YouTube short video we ever made using YouTube's related video tool. Now, that means everyone watching one of our YouTube shorts always is encouraged to subscribe, even if we never say it.
We're Justin and Megan. Along with the how-tos, we share a few minutes of faith every day from the season we're walking through right now.
