An hashtag can be referred to as a tag word or specific word prefixed by the special sign"#" in which all videos in which it was used for, are all within it. So whenever a viewer clicks on an hashtag e.g "#foryou",all videos which were tagged with "#foryou" shows up. Therefore, the use of hashtags also increases the chances of videos getting views by many people as long as the right hashtags are used. It is also advisable to make use of general purpose hashtags which has millions of views along with hashtags related to your channel's niche.

However, if you don't have a good editing skill, please employ people to do this for you. Creating good videos is very important because this is what would determine if a viewer would turn into a subscriber. When a video channel provides amazing videos for people, they would definitely want to come back ,hence,they suscribe and this way the channel just earned itself a loyal viewer.
