@geri_mate Thank you for your reply. Here is our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@FlexMon... We currently have videos relevant to our product, but we are working on other types of content, such as tips and tricks, learning videos and more general topics. That's why I'm interested in promotional strategies so that we can be more prepared when this new content is ready and implement some of your advice while preparing it.

@flexmonsterpivot @flexmon @anna_starodub1 First of all, I'd make two playlists on Youtube: one specific of your product, let's call it Demo or Tutorials, and another one that collects use cases, let's call it Use cases. The first part is less interesting for your users, so it might make sense to include tutorials in documentation, where it's important to make it easy for your users to understand how to get things done with your product. The second part is where you can get some significant traffic. You need to do keyword research, understand what problems your users are trying to fix with your product, and what steps help them to get through it. Tip: include your product's name like this in a YT video: [Video title] | [Series name / YT channel name that can include the product's name] Heard from others and it's my experience too, that when you name drop your service, technical audience stops paying attention. So be careful with namedropping your tool. My personal opinion: I don't like machine VO, I never watch them because it doesn't feel genuine. In my head it feels like the video's creator couldn't care less about the content so they just feed the content to a machine and are satisfied with a boring, soulless video. Can't tell if yours is boring or soulless, it's just my general expectation from generative AI voice overs. Hope it was helpful! For more technical marketing tips I recommend Adam DuVander and his book "Developer Marketing Doesn't Exist"

Let me ask your opinion on your channel- • does it look good/better/best? • will you be interested watching the video after watching the video thumbnail otreading the Video title?

A great question! Certainly, paid promotions can be effective, but there are many cost-free strategies to consider. At JetSoftPro, a software development company, we've been nurturing our channel for several months. Effective SEO optimization has proven to be invaluable in this journey. However, the content you create and share plays an equally crucial role. It's essential to conduct audience research to discern which topics and formats resonate best with your intended viewers. This understanding allows you to tailor your content to the preferences of your target audience effectively. https://www.youtube.com/@JetSoft...

Hey Anna,

Growing a niche technical YouTube channel can be challenging, but here are some practical ways to boost your reach:

✅ Optimize for SEO Use clear, keyword-rich titles, detailed descriptions, and relevant tags. Eye-catching thumbnails and timestamps also help.
✅ Engage in Tech Communities Share your videos on Reddit (r/webdev), Dev.to, and LinkedIn groups. Answer related questions on Quora & Stack Overflow with helpful insights.
✅ Repurpose Your Content Turn videos into blog posts, short clips for social media, and LinkedIn carousels to reach a wider audience.
✅ Collaborate & Network Connect with other YouTubers, feature guests, or engage with open-source projects to increase visibility.
✅ Monetization Matters If you’re thinking about monetizing, Monetize Checker is a handy tool to track eligibility and revenue potential.
✅ Consider Paid Ads (Optional) – A small budget for YouTube or LinkedIn ads can help target the right audience.

Keep creating valuable content, stay consistent, and interact with your audience it makes all the difference! Wishing you the best of luck
