This question has no further details.
Answers
Excellent question. The great thing about youtube is that videos you post very quickly tend to show in Google search results, often quicker than the corresponding website would rank. Here are some tips:
- When posting videos paste your contact details/offer in the description and in the comment section
- When posting, ensure you copy paste a lot of the content in text form in the description so the video is easily findable when searched
- if you are in the US, you can use direct marketing to market the channel
- contact influencers and bloggers to link to you
- partner with other channels to advert vice-versa your channels
- paid ad
- link your channel with freebies and lead magnets

Upload video's?
Hello Otatade Okojie here it's all about content, engagement and shares. The videos are supposed to be minimum 10 minute videos.
Growing a YouTube channel takes some effort. You definitely need a good catchy content. Here are few things you could try
1. Have a cover photo which captures audience interest.
2. Create content on latest topics . Usually people search for latest topics which give more option to find your video
3. Make sure you use SEO properly . Your title, description should also contain the key words which relate to your video
4. Do put subtitles . Most of the times people scroll though on mute. Sub titles help you grab attention
5. Reach out to friends and family and shamelessly market ur channel
6. Use competitor info to divert traffic to your channel. Eg: if you run a CRM content and your competitor is well known. Your title could say “Simpler content than <competitor name> “ google search only goes by key words
7. Paid ads is last option which could take a lot of your money, use the option wisely.
Upload quality content, may be create content on trending topics that attracts more views, if you have monetize your channel then use relevant ads. If your content is age or region, language specific, target specific audience, use subtitles for better experience.

On which platforms can I find a reputable Growth Hacker for hire?
The reality is "reputable" growth hackers - aren't sitting around on freelance sites waiting for you to hire them. If they are good, they are either (very) gainfully employed at a reputable company making very good salaries or more likely using our super powers to create multimillion dollar companies. So the bad news is there is no platform where you can hire reputable growth hackers BUT here is what you can do: You can borrow some of their time on here for just a few dollars a minute and learn what you need to learn to do it yourself (or at least get started) or find courses to learn "growth hacking" yourself. Get the tips, learn the techniques, tons of free resources and sites too. Unfortunately there are no silver bullets and very seldom magic hires that will suddenly get you growth. It's a painful, iterative long process. And the term growth hacker is very broad. Some of us can help you with SEO/SEM, email list building, partnerships and PR (I'm heavily specialized in PR). TL:DR Talk to specialized growth hackers, learn, and apply the techniques yourself.AS

What is the best way for a social media startup to get new users, aside from friends and family?
Always look for the free avenues first before putting down any dollars as you are running lean as it is. Look to on-line forums, groups in your target market that are discussing the subject area and begin engaging and sharing insights to show credibility for your offering. As you move forward, begin to request advice in developing the basic product offering. You can then start providing incentives like entries into a draw to this focused target market, as opposed to general contact lists that get very little conversions (unless it is a targeted e-mail list). This should get you started.SK

Which link shortener should we use in our social sharing strategy to track our Analytics?
I might suggest starting with Bitly and exploring the possibility of getting a custom branded shortener, which you can set up through Bitly once the domain is purchased. For example, my website is philpallen.com but I shorten all links to philp.al/link so it's more professional. I feel like many other shorteners look like spam, but I'd say your safe with Bitly because it's widely used. A custom one would be even better!PP

As a freelance marketing, I currently offer a plethora of services. Should I scale back to offer one service?
Hello! Thank you for reaching out to us here, I launched a consulting business almost 10 years ago to leverage my Masters in Strategy and experience with several successful startups. I merged business coaching with marketing and for the past 9 years have been helping small-large organizations globally. All clients are acquired through zero cold calling. I have learned through the years to ask, what is your experience level? Did you take a course on marketing and are now launching a business or do you have a degree or relevant networks that can boost your launch? - This is important for you to answer honestly because the digital marketing industry has become really crowded, marketing has become jargon for anything that has to do with sales, advertising, networking and marketing. So don't get fooled by the word marketing, make a plan on how you advertise your clients' services, but you can also use that yourself. I think the experience question is relevant for you because as an SEO expert as you mentioned you were since you offer the service, I would expect you have a decent traffic to your website from the right prospects, and if you are an experienced or actual marketer - you would know just how to create a funnel system for your website so that you are capturing leads as much as possible - telling you just what services are being requested the most by your prospect audience. If this sounds brisk, I apologize; I just want to make sure my thoughts are clear on the how you can approach and where your level of value might be which could lead you to offer a limited number of services that you are also 100% awesome at, because your initial clients can be a great source of validation and the last thing you want is to not deliver and delight. As a marketer and strategist, I can guarantee you that having a niche is more beneficial than offering many services.
