Twitter has a 44% average follow back ratio if you tune your bio to look attractive and relevant to the people you’re following. Youtube’s number is much lower. The reciprocation rate is at about half: 28% given the same relevancy.
However, Twitter lets you add 250 people a day while Youtube stopped me at 15 people added in 1 minute and 43 seconds. It continues to let me subscribe to users but i get this message when trying to friend people after a 5 minute pause:
Now I’m going to continue the test and see how many more people youtube lets me subscribe to in the hopes of getting subscribed back… BRB…
PS… before I began, I had 2,694 subscribers. Lets see where the numbers land in 2 days: See my subscribers.
Back to the test…
OK… results:
In 11 more minutes and 43 seconds, I added another 75 subscriptions. Then something strange happened. After clicking the 76th golden subscribe button, instead of changing to “unsubscribe” as it normally does, it stayed, “Subscribe.” If i wasn’t paying attention, I would have kept clicking that Subscribe button till the cows came home. The button behaved exactly as if the Subscription was successful.
the amount of reach and ripple you can generate with a small 1,000 person audience can be huge if your reach into their contact base
Then, I decided to go back to the “Add Friend” button. About 20 minutes had passed since the last click. It works. So when “Subscribe” fails, just go back to “FRIEND” I added another 15 before it stopped me again.
While Facebook has the lowest contact acquisition rate, it has the highest conversion to sale rate. Twitter has the highest contact acquisition rate but it has the lowest conversion to sale rate. So, to project sales figures you must…
Essentially, if you repeat this process twice a day, you should be able to reach about 200 youtubers a day. This would translate to about 36 subscribers a day. At the end of the month, we’re looking at about 1000 subscribers.
The number itself is not staggering but the amount of reach and ripple you can generate with a 1,000 person audience can be huge. If you sponsor a contest, audition, or some sort of exciting content, and half of your new subscribers share your video out to their average 280 Facebook friends, you’ve got 500×280 reach. That’s a reach of 140,000 people.
How many of them convert into subscribers and how many of them become customers is a totally different equation. Let’s deal with how to multiply your conversion rates from the average 0.001 to something 500% higher. That’s in the next revealed secret.
