How to Get Your First 100 YouTube Subscribers
The first 100 subscribers are the hardest. These steps focus on being found in search and giving people a reason to come back.
To get your first 100 YouTube subscribers, make videos that answer questions people already search for, give each one a specific title and thumbnail, publish on a steady schedule, and use Shorts to bring new viewers to your long videos. A new channel is found through search and suggestions, not through its subscriber count.

What should a new channel post about?
Pick a topic you can make twenty videos about and look up what people type into YouTube search for it. Autocomplete in the search bar shows real queries. A video that answers "how to fix a squeaky door hinge" has an audience on day one; a video titled "my vlog episode 1" does not.
How do you write titles that get clicks?
Put the searched phrase near the start, make the result specific and keep it under 70 characters so it is not cut off. Pair it with a thumbnail that shows the outcome, a face if you are on camera, and three words at most. YouTube allows up to 100 characters in a title; see our character limits guide.
Do YouTube Shorts help get subscribers?
Yes, as a discovery tool. Shorts reach people who have never seen your channel. Cut the best 30 to 60 seconds of a long video into a Short and link to the full video, so new viewers have somewhere to go next.
When should you ask people to subscribe?
After you have delivered something useful, not in the first seconds. A short line like "if this helped, subscribe for the next part" right after the main answer works better than a request at the start.
Can bought subscribers help a new channel?
A channel with zero subscribers can make a good video look abandoned. A small boost can make the first visitors more willing to subscribe, as long as you keep publishing. Our 100 YouTube subscribers pack is the smallest step, and the YouTube subscribers page lists every size. Note that purchased subscribers do not count toward watch hours, which YouTube requires for monetization; see how many followers you need to get paid.
Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get 100 subscribers?
It varies a lot by topic. Channels that publish weekly videos on searchable questions often reach it within a few months.
Should I post Shorts or long videos first?
Both, if you can. Long videos build watch time and search traffic; Shorts bring new viewers.
Do subscribers matter for the algorithm?
Less than viewer satisfaction and watch time. Subscribers matter because they are the people most likely to watch your next upload.
