Introduction

Boost your YouTube views and grow your subscriber base by optimizing your YouTube channel's home page with curated playlists. This article provides a detailed, step-by-step guide on how to go about this with ease.


YouTube Studio Navigation

To begin, navigate to the left side of your YouTube channel's home page. Here, you'll find the 'Customization' tab. Click on it to arrive at a page that allows you to modify your channel's layout.

How To Add Featured Sections On Youtube

Scroll down this page until you reach 'Featured Sections'. Before proceeding to this stage, ensure that you already have a playlist created.

If not, create a new playlist by clicking 'Create', then 'New Playlist', located at the top of your YouTube channel. Here you can add a title and description that details what your playlist is about. You also have the choice of setting your new playlist’s visibility as public, private, or unlisted until everything is in place.

Populate Your Playlist with Relevant Video

With your playlist created, it's time to populate it with videos. This is important because YouTube often recommends videos to viewers based on the relevance of the video content they are currently viewing.

To edit your playlist and add videos, go to 'Content', then select 'Playlist', and click the three dots beside your chosen playlist. Choose 'Edit on YouTube', and add the videos you want. Put effort into choosing videos that are closely connected to each other, enhancing the chance of YouTube recommending more of your videos to viewers.

How To Add Playlists to Your Homepage

Return to the 'Customization' page, then scroll down and click 'Add Sections'. Choose from three options: 'Single Playlist', 'Created Playlist', or 'Multiple Playlists'. All of these are based on playlists you have already created.
  • Single Playlist: This option allows you to display a specific playlist on your homepage.
  • Created Playlist: This will compile all your playlists into one massive playlist, which is not typically recommended.
  • Multiple Playlists: Allows you to choose multiple playlists and combine them into one major playlist.
For most purposes, the 'Single Playlist' option is recommended. Select your preferred playlist, then hit the 'Publish' button. Your playlist is now successfully added to your YouTube channel's home page.

Conclusion

In conclusion, adding a playlist to your YouTube homepage is a straightforward process that can significantly boost your views and subscribers. Always ensure that your playlist's videos are relevant to keep your viewers' experience smooth and enjoyable. If a viewer clicks on a playlist expecting a certain theme and they get a video about something entirely different, it might not work in your favor.
