Annotation may seem like extra work, but it drives subscription rate. However fantastic a tool they may be though, annotations should be utilized sparingly and chiefly for call-to-action links. The more they are utilized, the greater the possibility of users switching them off completely as viewers can go into the video player menu screen and turn them off.

Nigerians are certainly moved by incentive. Launch an incentive that would entice users to subscribe. Ensure that you publicize your present follower count is and the count (which should be practical) that you are aiming while you are at it.
