Kids YouTube Channel Growth Strategy

I run the children-focused YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@markwatts6456 and I’m struggling to turn views into sustained subscriber growth and, ultimately, full monetization. The content is light, wholesome entertainment aimed at parents looking for safe videos for their kids, and I want to keep that spirit while making the channel profitable.

Right now I only promote inside YouTube itself, so Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter outreach is still untouched territory. I’m looking for a specialist who can analyse what I already have, map out a clear path to faster subscriber gains, boost watch-time, and guide me through every step of the monetization process—AdSense approval, COPPA-safe optimisation, thumbnails, keywords, titles, community posts, cross-platform promotion, you name it.

Deliverables
• Channel audit with actionable fixes (SEO, thumbnails, playlists, metadata)
• 90-day content & upload calendar centred on entertainment videos for kids
• Strategy to expand promotion beyond YouTube, detailing how and when to deploy Facebook, Instagram and Twitter outreach
• Road-map to hit the watch-hour and subscriber thresholds, including projected milestones and KPIs
• Compliance checklist covering YouTube Kids and general monetization policies

If you have a proven track record growing family-friendly channels, I’d love to see examples and hear how you would tailor your approach to Mark Watts Kids TV.
