The LCCA was an early subscriber to YouTube joining in January of 2011. During that time, it continues to add to its video archives focusing on LCCA member layouts and videos of interest to the train collecting community. Subscribing to our channel is a benefit of membership, a chance to participate in the hobby visually. Join your fellow members and be a regular on your club’s channel. Just go to our channel https://www.youtube.com/lionelcollectors and subscribe.

The LCCA encourages all its members to subscribe to the LCCA YouTube Channel and receive future videos as they are released. As you may know, the LCCA does benefit from a higher subscription rate in many ways. 

  • Social Proof: A large subscriber count signals credibility and popularity. This can attract more organic traffic from users who are more likely to subscribe to channels with a substantial following.
  • YouTube Algorithm: The more subscribers you have, the better your chances are of being recommended by YouTube’s algorithm. This can lead to even more exposure and views for your videos.
  • Opportunities for Collaboration: With a larger following, other creators or influencers may reach out to collaborate, which could expose your channel to their audience, further increasing growth.
  • Brand Recognition: More subscribers can also lead to your content or brand becoming more recognizable, which can be beneficial for long-term channel growth and personal influence.
  • Increased Interactions: With more subscribers, you're likely to get more comments, likes, and shares, leading to a more engaged community around your content.
  • Community Building: A larger subscriber count allows for building a community of fans who may interact more frequently, which in turn increases retention and loyalty.

While these goals are important to the growth and influence of the club and the hobby, it is important to remember that engagement (views, comments, likes) or the value and interest of the videos is just as important, if not more so, than the number of subscribers.
