It’s always a struggle to get people to subscribe to your YouTube channel but here’s a really easy way to do it using a special URL. By adding the following text

?sub_confirmation=1

to your YouTube channel URL you create a ‘clickable’ subscription link.  People clicking that link will get a pop up, asking them to confirm, and that’s it.  Dead simple.

Here’s the confirmation button that clicking the link generates.

Here’s how the text should look in a URL:

https://www.youtube.com/user/YOURCHANNELNAME/?sub_confirmation=1

So if you’re trying to get someone to describe to the Doctor Who channel, the URL to use would be

https://www.youtube.com/doctorwho/?sub_confirmation=1

Obviously, you can use something like a bit.ly link shortener to make the text even more snappy. Use it in every video description on YouTube, on a web page etc to boost thosse subs!
