A YouTube Channel Trailer is an excellent way to grab the attention of new views that visit your channel. It’s like a commercial or preview for first time visitors. You set-up a short welcome video and YouTube magically shows it to new viewers that are not already subscribed to your videos. Setting up your channel trailer is a simple matter but there a couple of steps you need to be aware of first. Sheryl Loch takes you through these simple steps in this short how-to video in less than two minutes.

I was thinking of doing something like this…but in a different way. I’m going to start working on it now. – Scott Craighead
Be sure to let us know when you have it up on your channel Scott, I’d be interested to see what you come up with.
Well, you see it’s not for me. It’s for you. – Scott Craighead
It’s definitely worth adding a channel trailer. I’ve found it increasingly difficult to gain subscribers for the past few months and having your best video featured can make a difference. It’s all about the first impressions you give to your (potential) subscribers and you need to make them stick.
I just looked up for the trailer in hotblogtips channel on youtube. I liked the way you kept it short to only 45 seconds and yet got all contributors to tell the kind of videos you do. I believe having a good trailer will give visitors more reason to subscribe.
Thanks Chang, I think the shorter the better for a trailer. We rushed that one and might record a better one soon.
