New YouTube Channel : Hide or Not The Number Of Subscribers?

by Reda Lagrana

Hey Warriors,

I'm looking for an advise of someone YouTube experienced who own or owned a YouTube channel who could give me his input about showing or not the number of subscribers when the channel is newly created.

I can only think about one theory about showing a low number of subscribers, which results in two questions:

1. Do you think it impacts other potential subscribers not to subscribe due to a low number of subscribers?

2. Should I hide the number of subscribers on the channel until it grows and then show it?

I'm looking forward for your inputs about this!

Cheers,
Reda

    1. Do you think it impacts other potential subscribers not to subscribe due to a low number of subscribers?
    Yes. I think so.

    Sometimes it does. This depends on the individual of course as everyone is different. However I would venture to guess that having a low number of subscriber may at times impact the decision of another potential subscriber to sub or not to sub.

    2. Should I hide the number of subscribers on the channel until it grows and then show it?
    Yes. I would.

    Some people like to know that they are subscribing to something "popular" "cool" etc. Others don't mind being the first to subscribe.

    Overall though, if your numbers are low, I believe it's best to hide them until your channel grows.

    I agree with StoltingMediaGroup. Wait until the numbers around 10k before you make it public. I am pulling that number out of my ass, but I think it is a good number and it is the one I use.

    People want to subscribe to something that other people like.

    It is called the Power of Social Proof!

    Keep them showing.

    That will be a constant reminder that you need to bring them up.

    Hide until you have a good number of subscribers because then the numbers would help people to judge that your channel is worth subscribing.

    You should show the number of subscribers, Humans have a pack mentality they like to go where the crowd goes or do what the majority is doing. If people see that you have a lot of subscribers they would be more inclined to subscribe to your YouTube channel.
