Karthika S.
YouTube Channel Manager & Growth Strategist | SEO, CTR & Analytics Exp
I help YouTube channels grow through 100% organic, white-hat strategy — no bots, no purchased views, no shortcuts that put monetization at risk. Over 7+ years I've managed and grown 100+ YouTube channels across entertainment, education, business, and lifestyle niches, working full-time as a hands-on channel manager: research, scripting support, thumbnails, publishing, SEO, and analytics. Recent results: - Took a channel from a typical baseline to 43.6M views in 90 days (+165%) and 139.6K new subscribers (+122%) after fixing keyword and metadata gaps - Grew a single video to 350K+ views post-publish, with 59.4% of traffic coming from YouTube's Suggested Videos — a strong signal the algorithm was actively recommending it - Improved a video's click-through rate from 3.2% to 9.9% through thumbnail and title testing alone, same content, same topic - Delivered 790K+ views and 1,300+ new subscribers in a single 28-day period on an active client channel What I actually do for a channel: - Full content pipeline management — idea generation, scheduling, coordinating writers/editors/thumbnail designers, and publishing - Keyword and competitor research to find what audiences are already searching for - Title, thumbnail, description, tag, and metadata optimization for CTR and search - Weekly analytics review (impressions, CTR, retention, traffic sources) with clear, data-backed recommendations — not guesswork - Building repeatable systems so growth doesn't depend on luck or one viral hit I'm looking for long-term channel management relationships, not one-off gigs. If you want a manager who treats your channel like their own and reports on real numbers every week, let's talk.
