Melania Trump Is Escorted By A Soldier And Holds His Arm While Standing Apart From Her Husband Throughout Veterans Day Ceremony At Arlington
~4.0 mins read
Melania Trump walked arm-in-arm with a serviceman and stood apart from the president during Wednesday's Veterans Day wreath-laying ceremony.
The first lady was escorted by the masked military man and sheltered under an umbrella with him during the visit to Arlington National Cemetery, on Donald Trump 's first public engagement since the election was called for Joe Biden .
Neither Melania, 50, nor the president, 74, were wearing masks at the cemetery, unlike Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka who had a face covering on.
Escorted: Melania Trump takes the hand of a uniformed member of the US armed forces during Wednesday's wreath-laying ceremony, leaving Donald Trump to walk by himself
Melania sheltered under an umbrella during the visit to Arlington National Cemetery on a wet, dreary Veterans Day on Wednesday
Donald Trump walked alone during his first public engagement since the presidential election was called in favor of Democrat Joe Biden on Saturday
One former Trump aide, Omarosa Manigault Newman, has spread rumours that the couple's marriage could end in divorce when their term in the White House ends in January.
She claimed: 'Melania is counting every minute until he is out of office and she can divorce.
'If Melania were to try to pull the ultimate humiliation and leave while he's in office, he would find a way to punish her.'
Close watchers of the couple noticed at the end of a debate last month that Melania appeared to yank her hand away from her husband as they walked off a stage.
The Trump family attracted criticism during the first debate in Cleveland for failing to wear masks while sitting in the audience.
Melania had appealed as long ago as April for people to wear masks, long before Donald Trump was first pictured wearing a face covering.
The presidential couple walked separately from each other as they took part in the somber ceremony at the tomb of the unknown soldier in Arlington's National Cemetery
Melania Trump, pictured, was not wearing a mask despite appealing as long ago as April for people to wear face coverings during the pandemic
After joining her husband on stage without a mask after the first debate in Cleveland, Melania did wear a mask at the end of the final head-to-head in Nashville.
But on Wednesday, Melania was again without a mask despite her close proximity to the military man escorting her.
Neither Donald nor Melania made any public remarks during the somber ceremony on a wet, dreary day in Washington, although Melania paid tribute to the nation's troops on Twitter.
Melania had three days earlier echoed her husband's efforts to undermine the election by suggesting that 'illegal' votes had been cast.
The first lady said on Sunday that 'the American people deserve fair elections... every legal - not illegal - vote should be counted'.
The president, who during the campaign refused to commit to honoring the result, has falsely claimed that he would win the election but for 'illegal' votes.

Vice president Mike Pence also attended the Veterans Day ceremony, while president-elect Biden appeared at the Korean War Memorial in Philadelphia.
While Trump's official schedule has been limited in recent days, he has made significant personnel moves, including the firing of defense secretary Mark Esper.
His pick as acting defense secretary, Christopher Miller, was among the Pentagon brass that joined him at Arlington.
Trump has not addressed the nation since Biden's win, but has spread unfounded claims on Twitter and refused to acknowledge that his term is nearing its end.
He has made no mention of the dramatic rebound in the Covid-19 pandemic across the country, which is now seeing more than 100,000 infections per day.
Some supporters pushed back against the notion that Trump is shirking his presidential duties.
President-elect Joe Biden and incoming first lady Jill Biden made their own appearance at a Korean War memorial in Philadelphia
'The president is out there as much as he's ever been on Twitter, and the White House team are moving ahead with budget and staffing priorities,' said Dan Eberhart, a prominent Republican donor and Trump backer.
He added: 'The president is understandably focused on the ballot counting, but at some point soon he needs to turn his attention back to the lame duck session and putting a capstone on his first four years.'
Aides claim that Trump has been calmer than his tweets suggest, suggesting that he wants to keep fighting almost as performance, as a show to the 70million people who voted for him.
In recent days, some aides, including his daughter Ivanka, have started to talk to him about an endgame, questioning how much longer he wants to fight the result.
While Georgia is heading for a recount and Arizona is still too close to call, Biden's win in Pennsylvania means he already has more than the 270 electoral votes needed.
The Democrat now leads by more than 50,000 votes in the state, which narrowly voted for Trump over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

How To Double Your YouTube Subscribers (Without Buying Them)
~24.2 mins read
Every minute, 500 hours of videos are uploaded to YouTube. With that much competition, you might have counted yourself out and accepted that getting enough Youtube subscribers isn’t worth the effort.
But what if you’re making a social media mistake ? What if you could break through the noise and become popular on YouTube?
One of the best ways of measuring popularity on YouTube is by looking at the number of subscribers.
The more subscribers you have, the more you can consistently achieve high view counts on your videos.
Not everyone who is uploading a video to YouTube has laid out a strategy that will allow them to increase subscriber numbers, which leads some to buy YouTube subscribers — which is a huge mistake.
When you buy YouTube subscribers, many of those accounts are fake. Even if they are real people, they are unlikely to engage with your content and actually buy what you have to offer.
In short, buying YouTube subscribers is a waste of time.
Instead, work to build a strategy to boost subscriber numbers — then you can join the ranks of companies seeing massive success on YouTube and earn free YouTube subscribers.
In this post, we’ll look at how you can grow your YouTube subscriber count. We’ll analyze a variety of media marketing strategies and show you how to implement them.
By the end, you should have a good sense of how to create a strategy that will allow you to use YouTube to grow your business.
Give Your Channel a Theme to Gain YouTube Subscribers
Before you do anything, you need to give your channel a theme.
If you look at many of the top YouTube channels, you’ll notice that many of them stick to a theme.
Take a look at the Derek Halpern ‘s channel, for example.
Notice how a lot of the YouTube videos he creates are on topics related to business and success.
Having a theme makes it easier to create consistent YouTube content.
On top of that, you can make your channel the ‘go-to’ place for specific content. This is the goal of a social media platform .
If your channel caters to a specific niche, then people who care deeply about that niche will want to become subscribers.
For example, imagine your videos are all about Facebook marketing , and you aim to help business owners.
If a business owner who wants to learn more about Facebook marketing subscribes to your YouTube channel, they’ll get an update any time you post content.
This helps them stay ahead of the curve without having to do a lot of work.
If you’re struggling to come up with a theme for your channel, think about the problems your business solves and who it solves those problems for.
Then, produce videos based on the topics you know will help the people your business serves.
Post Incredible Content to Gain YouTube Subscribers
Many marketers agree that video converts better than other forms of media .
If you want to drive conversions , you need to learn how to create incredible content on your media platform.
Plus, if you can create incredible content, then a lot of the work related to growing your subscriber count is already done.
When people subscribe to your channel, they’re essentially signing up to get updates whenever a new piece of content is posted.
If your content is great , people won’t mind hearing from you again because their initial interaction with you and your content was positive.
Whether that’s a learning experience, an entertainment experience, or both — it’s worth watching your videos.
And remember that people take the time to watch great content.
According to Hubspot, 54% of people want to see more video content from marketers. This is a good foundation for your media platform that will expand social networks.
If your content is excellent, then you’ll benefit from the fact that 54% of senior executives share content with their social networks.
So how do you produce incredible content that makes viewers want to subscribe and share?
Start by focusing on producing content that is relevant to your target audience .
Provided that you’re sticking to a theme, as mentioned before, it shouldn’t be too hard to come up with a way to produce valuable content.
Then, use these tips.
Look for Popular Keywords on YouTube
Let’s say that you want to create a channel that covers the topic of ‘pencil drawing.’
One way to develop content ideas is by simply entering the broad keyword of ‘pencil drawing’ into the YouTube search engine.
YouTube is the second-largest search engine globally, so we know there’s going to be some relevant data here.
When we type in the keyword, we see the suggestions above.
Now, those topics might seem a little broad, so you may want to pick one of those keywords and go through the same process again so that you can generate something more concise.
Let’s add the word ‘tutorial,’ for instance.
By adding the word tutorial, we are now provided with more concise keywords.
The fact that these keywords appear in the suggestions lets us know that people are searching for these videos.
You might argue that there is a lot of competition for such keywords.
And while that may be true, later on in the post, we’ll figure out how we can get people to view our videos, even when there is a lot of competition — so don’t let it be a concern for now.
The great thing about the approach above is that it gives us a place to start.
If we want to produce content for a certain niche, this technique lets us know what kinds of content people will already have an interest in viewing.
My tool Ubersuggest is another great YouTube keyword research tool. Simply type in your main key term and click “Keyword ideas†in the right sidebar, and it will deliver more than 400 keywords for you to consider.
You can also use the Google Keyword Planner tool to come up with content ideas. That’s because there will be some coherence between Google search results and YouTube search results.
Let’s stick with the topic of ‘pencil drawing.’
In the ‘Your product or service’ box, enter a keyword-based on your business. If I were running a business that taught people how to do a pencil drawing, I’d enter ‘how to do a pencil drawing.’
You want to keep the keyword broad at this stage because it’ll allow for the keyword tool to develop a wide range of ideas for you.
Once you’ve entered the keyword, you’ll then see this page. It shows several ‘Ad groups’ of keywords.
Each group of keywords centers around a certain topic.
As you can see, I’ve arranged the groups in terms of ‘Average monthly searches’ and descending order. This gives us a sense of where there might be a lot of competition.
Let’s click on the mid-range group called ‘Drawing Techniques.’
I’ve highlighted a few keywords that might represent good YouTube content opportunities.
I chose these keywords because it’s clear to see how you could create a focused, high-value video centered around these keywords.
You might think that these keywords don’t have that many searches and, therefore, aren’t worthy in terms of effort required.
However, remember we’re not just going to post a handful of videos and then be done with it.
Cultivating a YouTube channel so that it eventually has many subscribers often requires posting a lot of content. In fact, the biggest YouTube channel has over 4,200 videos.
If you want to publish massive amounts of content while keeping it relevant, you need to be able to niche down your content as much as possible, so each video provides value.
If you niche down, it’s only natural that the level of searches per month will go down.
Even if you focus on low volume keywords, they’ll all come together to help you build momentum and establish yourself in a YouTube niche.
You’ll also notice there isn’t a ton of content for those lower volume search terms, which represents an opportunity.
Look at what happens when I type in the ‘Simple drawing techniques’ keyword.
There’s a playlist there, but other than that, there aren’t any fully optimized titles or even videos based solely around the topic of ‘simple drawing techniques.’
Improve the Production Quality of Your YouTube Videos
Production quality shouldn’t be a top priority, but it can definitely increase the number of YouTube subscribers after a certain point.
As long as your videos are rich in value and provide the viewer with the information they need, you’re doing a good job.
When the videos start to bring you a return, then you can focus more on production quality.
Here are a few tips.
Ensure what you’re saying can be easily heard. You must speak clearly and enthusiastically. You’ve got to project your voice.
Otherwise, people might not be able to understand what you’re saying. They might even get bored.
You don’t need to act like an extrovert; just try and prevent your voice from becoming monotonous.
If you’re recording your content using a phone or a laptop, the microphone might not be enough. So, you may want to invest in a quality external microphone.
However, test it to see how things actually sound before you make this investment.
You also need to ensure that your video is easy to watch.
You don’t want to make it hard work for your viewers to see what is going on. This means you need to ensure lighting is adequate.
If you’re recording a talking head style video where you’re talking to the camera, ensure that your face can be clearly seen.
If someone is recording you, then ensure the camera isn’t shaking.
If you’re recording your laptop screen, make sure your actions can be clearly seen and that anything you type can be read.
Use Video Editing to Improve the Quality of Your YouTube Videos
When it comes to video editing, you have a couple of solutions. When speaking about video editing, what we’re referring to is improving your videos’ style and not so much about removing minor mistakes.
More often than not, you’re going to make minor mistakes when recording your video. You don’t need to put tons of focus into removing these bits, as they don’t harm your video all that much.
In fact, they might even help your video as they let other people know that they’re dealing with a real person rather than a sly media marketing salesman.
Where editing can come in handy, though, is when you need to create cuts in your video or add a title screen.
If you’re not an accomplished video editor, you could seek someone from Upwork or perhaps even Fiverr .
Alternatively, you could purchase a video editing suite and learn to do everything yourself.
That method might save you a bit more money, though you might end up spending a lot more time learning how to edit videos on your own. This takes time away from your media marketing.
That might not be the best trade-off, depending on your circumstances.
As mentioned, you don’t want to over-edit your videos, though you want to give them a sense of style that separates you from the crowd.
Often, the easiest way to do this is by having custom intro music and a custom title screen.
Another way that you can post incredible content is by creating videos based on your product being used.
Demonstration videos can go a long way in showcasing your product as something worth buying.
You can even turn some of your blog posts into videos. Nearly 59% of executives would rather watch a video than read a chunk of text.
Okay, so that’s the basics of creating incredible content.
The next point will be essential if you want to ensure that your YouTube subscriber rates grow consistently over time.
Get More YouTube Views by Posting Often and Consistently
This is probably the hardest part of growing a YouTube following — though it can also be one of the most important.
The average company posts 18 YouTube videos a month . Posting content consistently is a great way for you to compete.
Plus, if you’re constantly posting new content, then people have a reason to become a subscriber and share it on their social networks.
After all, people are less likely to subscribe if you’re not going to post any more content — why should they?
If you use the tips mentioned earlier, then coming up with ideas for posting new content is pretty easy.
You just need to set a schedule and stick to it.
How Often Should You Post New YouTube Videos?
If you want to keep things simple, look at what your competition is doing, and then one-up them. If they are posting twice a week, aim for three times a week.
Sometimes, however, the best plan is the one you can stick to.
Consistency in your media marketing campaign is important, as it’ll keep existing subscribers coming back for more. This will result in more YouTube views — and also improve engagement.
Engagement on a video tends to come in the following forms:
Thumbs up or Thumbs Down
Social sharing
Subscribing
Commenting
Favoriting
Ideally, you want to improve the engagement levels in each of these categories through any social media site.
People like to engage with content on YouTube — did you know that over 100 million people per week take a ‘social action’ on YouTube every week?
Another mind-blowing fact is that 700 videos are shared every minute on Twitter. So while YouTube is not a social media site, it is a valuable tool for any social media marketing platform.
Great engagement will help make the video more visible in the YouTube search engine.
This will expose your video to more people, who can then become subscribers themselves.
If you want to view some statistics in terms of how your videos perform, you can use the YouTube analytics dashboard .
You don’t have to be at a computer to post content consistently. That’s because you can use the scheduling feature provided by Google.
To gain access to this feature, you must first turn on monetization for your videos. This means that you are willing to show ads on your videos.
If you don’t want to show ads on your videos, don’t worry. You still have control over which videos are monetized and which ones aren’t.
Let’s take a look at how you can get that done.
Sign up for a YouTube account and then go to the ‘Creators Studio’ section.
On the left sidebar, under the ‘Channel’ option, select ‘Monetization.’
Choose ‘Enable My Account.’
Now, you’ll be able to access the scheduling features provided by YouTube to program your media platform.
You’ll also be able to access a lot more in the way of YouTube analytics .
If you want to schedule a video, click on the ‘Upload’ button.
Then click on the dropdown menu and select the ‘Scheduled’ option.
Then drag and drop your video, or click the icon to upload it.
On the next screen, you can adjust the scheduling options.
Now enter the date and time you want the video to go live.
If people are subscribed to your channel, they’ll get a message when your video goes live.
Make sure to schedule that date into your social media management platform, if you have one. This will ensure that Tweets, Facebook updates, and LinkedIn posts are sent out simultaneously.
If you have an email list relevant to your video, you might even want to send a message out to those folks.
Consider staggering the messages, so you’re not bombarding people on multiple platforms all at once.
Consider Turning Long Videos into Multiple Short Videos
If you’re struggling to develop content ideas daily, consider splitting up longer videos into several shorter ones.
In long videos, you likely cover several points about one main topic.
You could edit out certain topics and then create mini videos using those topics. Shorter videos are more convenient for social network sharing.
In fact, Hubspot found that 2 minutes is the optimal video length on YouTube for their audience.
You’ll notice that the channel ‘ Inside Quest ’ does this a lot. Here’s one of the videos on their channel. Note how it is nearly 49 minutes long:
For someone new to the channel, that video length can be pretty intimidating.
So, they have broken down the video into some ‘highlight clips,’ covering interesting points and topics.
Note how short each of these videos is — just around a minute.
Short videos can be a great way to introduce people to your channel by giving them a taste of your content and building your media marketing campaign.
Create Evergreen YouTube Videos
A great way to consistently generate subscribers is by creating evergreen content .
These are videos that will relevant whether they are viewed today or five years in the future.
This will apply to some niches more than others.
For example, I spoke earlier about the pencil drawing business, which naturally lends itself to producing a lot of evergreen content. A video about Instagram marketing , however, might be out of date in five years.
Take a look at your niche and see if you can create ‘how-to’ videos that will stand the test of time.
Even if you’re not looking to create evergreen content, it’s worth creating ‘how-to’ videos to provide value.
Optimize Your Videos to Increase YouTube Subscribers
Before anyone can become a subscriber to your channel, they need to first click on your videos.
No matter how good your video is, once it is seen in the YouTube search engine or sidebar, it will have some competition in the form of other videos.
So how do you get people to pay attention to and click on your video?
You need to focus on three areas — the headline, the thumbnail, and the description.
These three elements will have the biggest impact on influencing YouTube users to click on your videos. Be sure the meta tag is relevant and includes key points.
This is because they’ll help your rankings in the YouTube search engine. They’ll also improve your videos’ ability to entice users to click on them and share them on social media.
YouTube categories and cards can also drive clicks, so we’ll cover those too.
How to Create a Good Headline for YouTube Videos
If your video is based on a certain keyword, then the video’s title must include this keyword.
When you do this, you increase the chances of someone clicking on your video.
If the video’s title matches what they were searching for, they’ll assume that the video covers everything that they need to know about that topic.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that you should be ridiculous in how you’re creating your titles.
‘ Keyword stuffing ’ can hurt you much more than it can help you.
One way you can get around this problem is by using a colon.
For instance, earlier, we identified the keyword — ‘simple drawing techniques.’
If we had a video on that topic, we could write the headline like this — ‘Simple drawing techniques: 5 tips that will make drawing easier.’
Side note: An interesting experiment might be to split the ‘simple drawing techniques’ title into separate niches. This is a common social media marketing technique for blogs and helps videos too.
For example, ‘simple drawing techniques for cars’ or ‘simple drawing techniques for eyes.’
This is a great example of how you can take a big niche or keyword that is receiving a lot of traffic and identify opportunities within that niche.
As I mentioned, you’ll have to experiment a little when you do things this way. But, there’s no telling what kind of opportunities you might uncover.
As you can see in the example above, the video title uses a colon to separate the text.
You’ll also notice that there are videos where the ‘|’ symbol is being used.
You’ll have to test which one works better, though it could just be that this symbol serves a similar purpose to what the colon would have done.
When it comes to creating YouTube headlines, you’ll want to follow the rules that already exist for blog posts.
You need to have a mix of something that people are searching for and something that grabs their attention. This is core media marketing that can lead to social network inclusion.
You can do that by using the keyword your video targets in the headline and then including power words in the gaps.
As we’ve discussed, the style of your videos is going to influence the headline. If you have a ‘how-to’ video, then you’ll need to account for that in your headline.
Similar to blog post headlines , numbers also tend to work well in YouTube headlines.
Use Engaging YouTube Thumbnails
When it comes to the thumbnail, there are a couple of approaches that you could take.
The first is to show a clear image of whatever the video is about. For example, if you’re talking about a laptop, you’d want to include a picture of a laptop.
Like this:
Alternatively, you could just show a picture of a person interacting with whatever the video is about.
Like this example:
However, one of the increasingly powerful ways of creating video thumbnails is by adding text, like this:
Don’t just drop some text and call it good. You can also heavily edit the thumbnail image so that it clearly stands out.
Here’s another one:
If you want to create thumbnails like this, you need to follow these rules .
How to Create a Custom Thumbnail for YouTube Videos
You can create a thumbnail using Canva.
If you want to learn more about using Canva , going through their initial setup process might be helpful.
They have a YouTube thumbnail template, so use that to get started.
If you have some images of your own, you can upload them and then overlay text onto them.
I’ve just gone with the option of creating a basic thumbnail from scratch. Obviously, you can create something much better than this.
If you want to upload a custom thumbnail for a video, just go through the normal upload process.
On the page where you can adjust the video information, pick the ‘Custom thumbnail’ option.
You’ll then have a custom thumbnail that will be shown around the YouTube platform.
Create Better YouTube Descriptions
Creating a description for your YouTube videos could become an entire post in itself. We’re going to cover the basics here.
You need to keep in mind that you have a lot of space here, and YouTube tends to use what you say to rank your content. Don’t ignore the meta tag and its importance .
The first couple of lines on your description should be written so that they are easy to read in the search results.
Here’s a great example.
In this section, you may want to use some of the keywords you used in your title. That way, you can ensure that it has some coherence. This will also improve the ranking ability of your video.
When people click on your video, they have the option to click on the ‘Show More’ text.
This will expand the description. You can use this space to insert a ‘subscribe to channel’ link.
If you want to do that, use the following link format —
Make sure that you enter your channel name after the ‘=.’
So, for Kissmetrics, it would be —
When people click on this link, they’ll be taken to your channel page, where a subscribe box will pop-up.
You can also enter some other information, such as your other social media profiles, important links, and even your content posting schedule in the description.
You can also describe the things that are being discussed in your video, like this —
You could even highlight what is discussed at certain time sections in your video like this: 21:48 – How to prevent your website from being penalized by Google.
These timestamps will actually take those who click on them directly to the specified location in the video.
Add Tags to Increase YouTube Views
It’s also important to add tags. This will help improve the chances of your video appearing in the YouTube search engine.
You don’t want to use anything that is misleading here. Have a mix of some really specific tags that describe your video. Then, add a few broad tags that are still related to the genre.
There’s no harm in using some of the suggested tags provided by YouTube, as long as they align with what your video is actually about.
Use YouTube Cards
YouTube Annotations used to be the best way to engage users by directly adding links and other content to your video.
However, annotations were disruptive and were discontinued and then deleted in 2019 .
Today, you have the option of using YouTube cards . You can add up to five cards to your video with a customized image, text, and call to action.
Here’s how you would go about creating a ‘YouTube card’ for your video.
Select the ‘Video’ option inside of the ‘Video Manager.’ Then click on the ‘Edit’ drop-down menu for the video you want to add a card to.
Then select the ‘Cards’ option.
You should then see this screen.
Click on the ‘Add card’ option and then choose the ‘Channel.’
Then, enter your channel name and add text.
The teaser text is the text that appears on the little graphic that appears in the video.
Here is how it will look:
If you want to adjust when the card displays the ‘teaser text,’ adjust the slider below.
You’ll notice, however, that the ‘i’ will always be visible in the video.
If people hover their mouse cursor over the ‘i,’ they’ll see the following.
This card will also appear at the time that you have chosen above.
Clicking on this will take users straight to your YouTube channel. However, no subscriber box will pop-up.
Engage Your YouTube Audience
Another way to boost your YouTube subscriber numbers is by engaging with your audience and creating a community .
There are several ways that you can do this.
Respond to YouTube Viewer Comments
Responding to comments is a simple — but effective — way to engage users. This will show YouTube viewers that you value their opinion. Plus, the fact that you’re going through this effort might encourage them to subscribe.
You could even argue that this counts as customer service work that improves the customer experience.
When you look at it through that lens, you use the fact that 22% of people post positive things on social networks about a company after having previously posting something negative — all because they got a response.
If you’re getting any negative comments on your YouTube videos, address them promptly.
This can increase YouTube subscribers because people see this interaction and appreciate the fact that you engage.
Host a Q&A Session
You can do this using Google Hangouts on Air or YouTube Live . You might even just ask at the end of a video for viewers to post their questions in the comments section.
Then, in the next video, you could spend some time going through the questions you received.
Ask Viewers What They Want
Another way to engage your audience is by creating videos based on what they want. For example, you could use a survey to ask your audience what they want to see you talk about.
You can then create a video based on a viewer’s suggestions and call them out in the video to say thank you.
Consider Collaborating With Other YouTube Video Creators
When it comes to boosting subscriber numbers, you also have the option of doing collaborations with people in your industry.
Collaborations can massively boost your video marketing efforts.
If you go about things in the right way, you may just end up joining the 18% of companies that regard their video marketing as ‘very successful.’
The best way to go about this is to find channels with a similar audience.
Both of you could then arrange an event where you can both benefit from the interaction.
When you collaborate, you must encourage people to subscribe to your channel.
Also, make sure the videos you publish immediately after the collaboration are amazing, so they want to subscribe.
Host Interviews to Increase YouTube Subscribers
Alternatively, consider doing interviews on your channel. If you can find a way to interview the top people in your niche, you’ll be able to attract their audience to your channel.
When your channel has a decent number of subscribers, you’ll have a greater ability to attract these opportunities.
Of course, you shouldn’t let low subscribers be an impediment that stops you from trying.
Email a few people who might be worth having on your channel and ask them if they’d be willing to be a guest.
If they say no, respectfully ask if they’d be willing to do a show when your channel has more subscribers. See if they can provide you with a ballpark figure that they’d be happy with.
You don’t want to be rude, but there’s nothing wrong with asking for a potential future way to make it happen.
Consider YouTube Ads
I’ve already spoken extensively about using YouTube Ads .
To get the most out of ads, target keywords your videos are created around.
This will ensure that your videos appear at the top of the search results when people enter that keyword.
If you are just getting started, you might want to get a feel for the platform first. But, if you’ve got a solid YouTube monetization plan, ads can be an effective way to drive subscribers and YouTube views.
Conclusion
Ignoring the potential on YouTube is a huge mistake.
One of the keys to consistent success on YouTube is increasing your subscriber count — but don’t fall victim to those buy YouTube subscribers scams.
Instead, work to create exceptional content that will keep your audience coming back for more.
Then, make people want to click on your content using brilliant thumbnails and killer headlines that draw them in.
When people finally click on your video, then you can ask for a subscription.
Once you’ve got those fundamentals down, you’re free to experiment with things like collaborations and YouTube Ads.
If you put enough effort in, you’ll see those subscriber numbers start climbing — which can lead to website clicks and more.
All you need to do is get started!
What have you found to be useful when it comes to boosting subscriber numbers on YouTube?

Celebs Who Hate Their Parents | See How The Boy From "Home Alone" Movie Became A Drug Addict After His Father Spent All His Money
~5.2 mins read
It’s always a sad thing to see celebrities not getting along with their parents despite the good image they try to keep all through their careers. But, for the most part, the parents are usually blamed. As crazy as it sounds, these so-called parents get caught up in the idea that they may deserve a percentage of what their children make because they helped them get to where they are.
Back to today's agenda, some parents even think that because they gave birth to them, their celeb child needs to spoil them with fame and fortune, which is totally bizarre and has been one of the main reasons why a lot of famous faces have ditched their parents. See how these 10 famous celebs have dealt with their parents who they are said to hate with a passion.
10 Lindsay Lohan
Lindsay Lohan's relationship with her dad has consistently been cold regardless. Since the time LiLo bloomed into perhaps the greatest name in Hollywood, Michael pretty much turned into an interruption for his little girl, who couldn't focus on her vocation because of daddy's tricks. Their cold relationship stemmed right back to when Lindsay was as yet a kid, the time she would observer her mom Dina, face actual maltreatment from Michael. Right up 'til today, Lindsay and her dad have a repelled relationship — Lindsay is assuredly nearer with her mom.
9. Janet Jackson
Janet Jackson and the remainder of her kin abhorred their dad Joe Jackson, and this was no mystery. The songstress, alongside her celebrated brother Michael Jackson, were apparently challenged for the most ludicrous reasons now and again. Besides, Janet clarified that Joe never permitted her to call him "father" or "daddy," and rather consistently needed to allude to him by his genuine name, previously causing a break among father and little girl. The two are positively not close — Joe was absent at Jackson's wedding when she wedded Wissam Al Mana, indicating you exactly the amount Janet hates her father for what he did to her and her kin.
8. Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie's disdain for her father Jon Voight, is no mystery. The entertainer has discovered it unbelievably difficult to excuse her well known dad for leaving the family in 1977, leaving his ex, Marcheline Bertrand, alongside two kids to think about. As per a few media sources, Voight had been undermining Marcheline, and regardless of being youthful around then, Angelina immediately got on what was happening as she got more established. She had attempted to repair things with her dad after he had presented her to the media, however it was superfluous by then — she was finished with her dad. Furthermore, her mom's passing in 2007 didn't make it any simpler.
7. Eminem
Eminem has likewise been vocal on the amount he abhors his father for leaving him and his mom in isolation when he was only a child. Bruce Mathers Marshall was accepted to have left Eminem as a baby and seldom spoke with the family he abandoned, up until he quit calling totally. In spite of the fact that he's presumably kicking himself for leaving his child, who is known as perhaps the greatest rapper on the planet now, Em has conceded that the passing of a dad figure in his life had profoundly influenced his youth, his environmental factors and how he managed things as a high schooler.
6. Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston was purportedly nauseated with her mother Nancy Dow, when she settled on the trying choice to sell her little girl out to the press for cash. Jennifer was shocked by the way that her own mom was selling tales about her girl at whatever point she could, which therefore observed Aniston keep a good ways from Dow. Jennifer has not discovered it in herself to excuse her mom, expecting that in the event that she gets once more into her mom's life, something very similar will happen over and over. Jennifer just won't endure it, and accordingly, keeps a perpetual separation.
5. Drew Barrymore
Would you be able to accept that Drew Barrymore went to recovery at age 14 and 15 after her liberation from her folks as an adolescent? Insane. Be that as it may, what's significantly more insane is her mom Jaid, who supposedly utilized her little girl to get into all the cool clubs at that point, was supposedly falling flat in her obligations to think about Drew as a kid. Her disturbed childhood in a family with a mother who didn't have her wellbeing on the most fundamental level had Barrymore winding crazy since the beginning. Drew as of late conceded in a meeting that she can never be welcoming with her mom again.
4. Adele
Adele and her mom were left by the artist's father Mark Evans, when she was only a youngster, and Adele abhorred her father for it. Her mom didn't have the most cash, so there was consistently a battle to ensure the songstress was very much dealt with, yet by one way or another they oversaw, up until Adele turned into a whiz. Unexpectedly, Mark at that point attempted to get back in contact with the fruitful artist, telling the press he misses his cherished girl and is upset for leaving the family. Adele was not having any of it. She actually despises him right up 'til today.
3. Christian Bale
Christian Bale appears to be an aware person, isn't that so? Indeed, in 2008 when his mom Jenny James, chosen to make inappropriate comments against his significant other, Sibi Blazic, the entertainer lost it and wound up getting into a warmed contention with his mom and his kin. Nobody knows without a doubt what truly occurred, or information exchanged at that point, yet it was plainly terrible enough for Christian, who cut all binds with his family from that point forward. In 2012, his mom openly apologized for her activities, however it is as yet indistinct whether Bale has excused her yet.
2. Macaulay Culkin
This must be probably the saddest story. Macaulay Culkin was one of the most loved youth stars of the 90s, yet his dad Kit, would make everyday routine an experiencing damnation for the little youngster by marking him up for film jobs and underwriting bargains relentless. It turned out to be so boisterous for Macaulay since he was unable to stay aware of the apparent multitude of things his alcoholic dad was marking him up for. Furthermore, the most exceedingly terrible part was that the youth star didn't see the entirety of the cash he should have acquired.
1. Kelly Rowland
Kelly Rowland has not addressed her dad Christopher Lovett, in 20 years, as per what she told a magazine in 2012. As indicated by the previous Destiny's Child part, her dad was a heavy drinker, who made occasions fantastically hard for Kelly and her mother Doris, who in the long run had enough and moved her little girl into another home. During this time, Kelly would develop a dear fellowship withBeyonce while Doris kept striving to accommodate her girl as a single parent. Kelly disdained her dad for what he did to her and her mom, that is without a doubt.

Really? Outrage As Enugu Govt Accuses Flavour, Phyno Of Collecting N78m From Ekweremmadu

Outrage as Enugu govt accuses Flavour, Phyno of collecting N78m from Ekweremmadu
…Flavour participated in the ENDSARS protests like other celebrities — Brother
The recent allegation levelled against popular music heavyweights, Flavour N’abania and Phyno by the Enugu State government that the duo collected the sum of N78 million from the former Deputy Senate president, Dr. Ike Ekweremmadu to tarnish the image of Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi during the nationwide #ENDSARS protests are currently raising dust in many quarters.
Some concerned stakeholders in the state are still wondering why the Technical Assistant to Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi on Media and Public Relations, Comrade Stanley Ezediuto should make such a ‘grave accusation’ on his social media handles, while many others have asked the Enugu State government to apologise to the artistes.
However, the truth remains that many celebrities across the country participated actively in the #ENDSARS protests while it lasted. Indeed, Flavour and Phyno were no exception.
The likes of Runtown, Falz, Davido, Tiwa Savage, DJ Switch and comedian AY.
Others were Femi Kuti, Peter Okoye of the defunct Psquare singing group, media personality Toke Makinwa, popular disc jockey DJ Spinall and former Big Brother Naija stars Anto Lecky and Nelson Enwerem Prince. Big Brother Naija’s Tacha and Elozonam, Dija and Jaywon, MC Lively, Bello Kreb among others participated in the protests.
At the international stage, artistes like Rihanna, rapper Kanye West, Estelle, Trey Songz, Chance the Rapper, CEO of Twitter, Jack Dorsey, and German-Turkish Arsenal player Mesut Özil supported the demonstrators by sending solidarity messages.
In Enugu popular singers alongside Zoro, Kcee among other musicians led thousands of youths in protest against the dreaded Special Anti Robbery Squad.
Following their active involvement in the protest, Comrade Stanley Ezediuto had accused the duo of collecting N78 million from Senator Ike Ekweremmadu to campaign against the incumbent governor of the state.
“We are aware of the gifting of a huge sum of N78 million to Phyno and Flavour to campaign against the governor of Enugu State in the ongoing #EndSars protest nationwide by Senator Ike Ekweremmadu. But we are warning against hijacking of the protest by strange characters for political reasons. Enugu State Government has lived up to expectations and the governor will continue to deliver dividends of democracy to the people.â€
“Ike Ekweremmadu should not use this opportunity to castigate the working government of Enugu State through Phyno and Flavour for his 2023 guber aspiration. If he fails to desist from so doing, we shall remind him of the many abandoned projects in his constituency which should be of major concern to him. These revered artistes should not allow themselves to be used against the peaceful state of Enugu,†he warned.
However, reacting to the allegation, Flavour’s elder brother, who’s also his booking agent, Benjamin said the highlife Afro singer participated in the #ENDSARS protests like other celebrities across the country.
“It means that all the celebrities that participated in the #ENDSARS protests also collected money from the politicians. That’s what the allegation implies. So, in this case, you just have to use your common sense,†he added.
Also, reacting to the allegation when contacted, Flavour’s younger brother, DJ Derekz, said the “Nwa Baby†singer will soon release an official statement to that effect.
Recall that days back, Flavour and Phyno took to their social media platforms,warning that should anything happen to them, the governor of Enugu State should be held responsible for it. They alleged that the governor threatened to deal with them for announcing that he should do more in delivering dividends of democracy to Enugu people. “Today our lives were threatened and we are making it clear that if anything happens to any single one of us or any protesters, let it be known that it was done by the Enugu State Government,†Flavour wrote on IG.

US Forces Rescue American Citizen Kidnapped In Nigeria, Kill 6 Of The 7 Captors
~1.8 mins read
US forces rescue American citizen held hostage in Nigeria
(CNN)US forces on Saturday rescued an American citizen taken hostage by armed men earlier this week in Niger and held in northern Nigeria, the Pentagon said.
"U.S. forces conducted a hostage rescue operation during the early hours of 31 October in Northern Nigeria to recover an American citizen held hostage by a group of armed men. This American citizen is safe and is now in the care of the U.S. Department of State. No U.S military personnel were injured during the operation," Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman said in a statement.
"We appreciate the support of our international partners in conducting this operation. The United States will continue to protect our people and our interests anywhere in the world."
The mission, which was several hours long, was conducted by the Navy's elite SEAL Team 6 who were flown to the region by Air Force special operations, a US official with knowledge of the operation told CNN.
The US forces who conducted the mission killed six of the seven captors, the official said. The US believes the captors have no known affiliation with any terror groups operating in the region, and were more likely bandits seeking money.
The State Department confirmed earlier this week that a US citizen had been abducted in Niger.
Local media outlets reported that the US citizen was a male missionary. CNN has not been able to confirm the citizen's identity.
The governor of the local region where the abduction took place was quoted in various local media and by French media reporting from Niger as saying that six men on motorbikes armed with AK-47s came to the man's property in the village of Massalata, close to the border with Nigeria.
The governor, Abdourahamane Moussa, told these media outlets that after demanding money, the men took the American citizen with them in the direction of the Nigerian border.
The State Department spokesman said that "when a U.S. citizen is missing, we work closely with local authorities as they carry out their search efforts, and we share information with families however we can."
On Saturday, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the US citizen would be reunited with his family.
"Thanks to the extraordinary courage and capabilities of our military, the support of our intelligence professionals, and our diplomatic efforts, the hostage will be reunited with his family," Pompeo said in a statement. "We will never abandon any American taken hostage."

We Can’t Walk Freely Again — Police - Politics - Nairaland
~3.1 mins read
Irate youths kill police, set police station ablaze in Ogun
•Our lives, family threatened by hoodlums
•We lost 23 policemen, 205 police stations burnt —IGP
•It was total anarchy— Gov
•It’s my worst nightmare —Victim
•As others count their losses
No one had envisaged that the#EndSARS protest by Nigerian youths against police brutality which started peacefully about three weeks ago would turn out a nightmare for the entire country with the level of destruction that ended it after it had been hijacked by hoodlums.
At the initial stage, some state governors not only received the protesters and addressed them but even joined in the protest march to the police headquarters. But miscreants and hoodlums soon took advantage of the protest to molest and extort residents. The turning point was the shooting at the Lekki Toll Gate in Lagos on Tuesday 20th October 2020 by soldiers where a number of protesters merely armed themselves with the national flags and singing the Nigerian national anthem.
This resulted in national and international outrage. Angry residents went on the streets to vent their anger by attacking both public and private assets.
The police withdrew from the streets to avoid bloody confrontation with the protesters while the hoodlums armed with cutlasses, axes and other dangerous weapons took over and had a field day breaking into shops, looting and burning.
The discovery of a government warehouse in Lagos where COVID-19 palliatives meant to be distributed to the people were kept and which were looted by the residents appeared to have opened the eyes of the residents of other states of the federation who went in search of such warehouses and looted them.
The looting and destruction reached a ridiculous level that even signboards of public institutions were uprooted and agricultural tractors carried away. It was a reign of lawlessness and by the time sanity returned, many lives had been lost, several police stations and other public buildings burnt and hundreds of vehicles set ablaze.
The victims have been counting their losses. They have been thrown into a state of hopelessness.
Their businesses have been ruined. They are completely at a loss as to how and where they would begin to put the broken pieces of their lives together again.
The major casualty in the whole crisis is the Nigeria Police Force. In spite of the directive by the Inspector-General of Police to policemen nation wide to return to the streets and maintain law and order, this has not been complied with.
Most of the policemen kept away from the public claiming that they could no longer walk freely again as their lives and those of their families were being threatened by hoodlums who pretended to be #EndSARS protesters.
Few of the policemen who summoned the courage to come out would rather hide their uniforms in their bags until they got to their stations for fear of mob attack.
In his account of the magnitude of the damage done to the police, the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu said 23 policemen were killed during the crisis and several police stations burnt.
He described as untrue report by Amnesty International that policemen shot at peaceful protesters while the #EndSARS protest lasted. Rather, the Police Chief affirmed that policemen acted professionally, by exercising what he described as commendable restraints, with some of them paying the supreme price for peace.
The IGP, in a statement signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Frank Mba, noted that “during the protests, officers of the Force used legitimate means to ensure that the protests were carried out in a peaceful manner and in most cases, physically protected and walked side-by-side with the protesters.
Even when the protests turned violent in some parts of the country, the officers still maintained utmost restraint and did not use excessive force in managing the situations.
“Available reports show that twenty-two (22) police personnel were extra-judicially killed by some rampaging protesters and scores injured during the protests. Many of the injured personnel are in life threatening conditions at the hospitals.
“Two hundred and five (205) Police stations and formations including other critical private and public infrastructure were also damaged by a section of the protesters. Despite these unprovoked attacks, our police officers never resorted to use of unlawful force or shooting at the protestersâ€.

3 Important Things To Always Remember Before Dating Again
~1.3 mins read
When one faces a rough break up, in most cases the affected people take breaks in dating.
This allows one to reflect on a lot of things and while making a decision on whether to love or not to love again.
Usually, after a breakup, there is so much pain and frustration that it becomes quite hard for anyone to love once more.
When anyone talks about it, you feel like they are a thorn in the flesh because this is a subject that you honestly do not want to delve into by any chance.
After staying out of the game for enough time, it also reaches a time where one is ready to give it another shot. When it comes to dating again, there are several things to remember and here are some of those things.
Think through who you want to date
For one to start dating again, one needs to make sure that their new partners care for them. Don’t find someone who will just be there to fill the void but someone who will make you feel lively in your new relationship.
2. Keep your friends in mind
Don’t ever forget your friends most especially those that were by your side at your lowest time. Don’t commit in your relationship excessively in a manner that you will end up forgetting everything that your friends did to you.
3. Don’t compare every guy with your ex
For a woman who has just come out of a breakup, they easily tend to assume that all men are the same. This is one thing that makes women push away better men. For that matter, it is important to not assume that every other man is similar to your ex-partner.
