You should be optimizing every video on your channel by including a full transcript. The text that accompanies your video will help you rank as it will naturally include many relevant keywords that are associated with your content. Also, optimize your title, description and tags to accurately describe your video. Don't engage in keyword stuffing or add inappropriate keywords just to get people to click through. Don't so could get your videos reported or taken down.

Once you have done all this, get active in the Youtube community with other similar channel owners. Make comments on other videos. Over time, others will see your comments and if they like what you have to say, will visit your own channel. Just remember, you are trying to establish credibility as your niche expert, not spam links.

Beyond that, you can share your video to Facebook, Tumblr, Google+ and any other relevant site where you think your fans might want to see it.

A powerful tactic could be a potential boost of your video views, so it could be established in the video category you trying to.

This will give it a boost to your channel

Create quality video title with description. This helps viewers search your website easier in youtube. If you want it to be visible on SERPs, create backlinks for it. You can do guest posting and insert the video in the article.

The key to rank an YouTube video is the combination of an optimised video, with views, YouTube engagement metrics, backlinks and social signals.

Add retention views along with likes, subscribers and stuff. And of course be consistent.

Don't add 5.000.000 views in one month and 10.000 the next one, this is gonna raise a red flag

Be normal and not greedy.
