How to Grow a Youtube Channel from 0 Subs for Your Business

The complete 7-phase system we use at Humble&Brag to grow startup YouTube channels into the hundreds of thousands of subscribers — as measurable, revenue-generating marketing channels. There are a trillion videos about growing a YouTube channel as a creator, but hardly any about how to do it for an established business. If you follow these 7 phases, you'll be generating leads from YouTube within a week or two of your first video. We've never seen a company do all seven steps properly and not generate leads.

Startups need something different. That’s why we built Humble&Brag, the full-stack YouTube growth agency for startups. We help founders turn YouTube into a real growth engine, building a smart, consistent presence without the overhead of a big in-house team. Before starting H&B, we grew channels and content systems inside some of Europe’s fastest-growing companies from scaling ⁨@AJSmart⁩ and ⁨@careerfoundry⁩ to hundreds of thousands of subscribers, to leading ⁨@BabbelPlus⁩ 's 20-person content team where video drove a quarter of company revenue. #YouTubeForBusiness #StartupMarketing #YouTubeGrowth #B2BYouTube #ContentMarketing #YouTubeStrategy #HumbleAndBrag #StartupGrowth #YouTubeChannel #MarketingStrategy
