Having a YouTube channel means that you\u2019re always on the lookout to get more subscribers.\u00a0If you have a WordPress blog\/site, then adding a YouTube subscribe button<\/strong> to your site can come in handy to help you gain more subscribers. By adding a YouTube subscribe\u00a0button to your site, you can turn\u00a0your visitors into subscribers of your YouTube channel. In this tutorial, I will show you how to turn your website visitors into subscribers of your YouTube channel by simply adding a subscribe button widget on your website.<\/p>\n

Method 1 \u2014 Adding Subscribe Button via a plugin<\/h3>\n

To add a subscribe button to your website by using a plugin, go to your dashboard Plugins>AddNew. Go to the search form and type in \u201cyoutube subscribe button\u201d. I will be using the first plugin that shows up, which is the\u00a0YouTube Subscribe Button<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0plugin.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve installed and activated the plugin go to your dashboard Appearance <\/strong><\/span>><\/strong> Widgets<\/strong><\/span>. You can drag and drop your\u00a0YouTube subscribe button widget anywhere in the sidebar. From there you can start customizing the features.<\/p>\n

\nTo find out your YouTube ID go to this page<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.\u00a0Copy your YouTube ID to put in on the ID form. After putting in your channel ID and are finished editing the widget, press save. Your website will now have a YouTube Subscribe button for your website visitors to subscribe to:<\/p>\n

Method 2 \u2014 Adding YouTube Subscribe Button Manually<\/strong><\/h3>\n

To add the YouTube Subscribe button manually<\/strong>, go to the Configure a Button<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0page in Google Developers.<\/p>\n

\"\"
\nYou can put in either your channel name or your channel ID in the form. You can configure the layout and theme to your liking. On the layout you can switch between \u201cfull<\/em><\/strong>\u201d and \u201cdefault<\/em><\/strong>\u201d. On theme, switch between \u201cdark<\/strong><\/em>\u201d and \u201cdefault<\/strong><\/em>\u201d. You can also choose whether you want your subscriber count to be shown. You\u2019ll get a live preview of the changes you are doing to your subscribe button.
\nOnce done, you can copy your code in the code box. After you\u2019re done copying, go to your dashboard Appearance <\/span>> Widgets<\/span><\/strong>. From there, drag and drop the text widget to the sidebar. Paste your code into the box and save changes.<\/p>\n
