How To Become A Successful Youtuber?

Youtube has turned 13 .. from being a simple video sharing platform it has evolved itself into something much bigger. And with it has attracted and kindled the creativity of all kinds. So now more than ever is the need for the such questions? But before we come to the answer we must try to understand what success means to us ?

Being fruitful on YouTube can go from social event a specific number of endorsers of profiting; before you set out to advance your YouTube channel for “success”, you should know precisely what you have to achieve with the end goal to meet that objective.

* Subscriber success is usually a matter of promoting your videos as aggressively as possible. It will take time, but you can usually build up your subscriber base in this way.

* Monetary success is a bit trickier on YouTube, as you’ll need to reach a lifetime video view of 10,000 and verify your account before you can start earning money.

* Keep in mind that success on YouTube is still largely contingent on luck. You can do everything correctly and still not gain subscribers or amass channel views due to YouTube’s algorithm.

So first things first, you would   want to determine what genre or field your videos belong to, this will not only help you with the content you would want or need to create plus it will also help you with the demographic you want to target.This is step is indispensable to forming a foundation for your pillars of success, as figuring out the what and the who o your videos will help streamlining your focus and ideas that are relevant.

And once your videos begin to fit a specific pattern, you can make micro-improvements to them to help them continue to fit your audience as it grows.

Now coming to content creation, the first thing one should keep in mind is that you need to adhere to your genre and audience, deviating from which you may end up loosing subscribers, and if your current videos are not engaging the audience bringing in a change in the way you do things would help.

Next, you need to ensure that your videos are seen by people throughout. This has become an important determinant for the success of a youtuber since youtube changed its algorithm in 2017, where creators are rewarded on the basis of watch time rather than the sheer number of view a video gets. So your video not only needs to attract the attention of users but also keep them interested throughout the video. Determine when your users lose interest in your video, youtube analytics is the perfect tool for that, it will come in handy for this information and a ton more, so using that to your advantage can help you win the game.

Using proper equipment and setup for content creation is essential to enhance the quality of the video as well as the experience of the viewers, nobody wants to see a video which is not properly shot or has background noise in it. Try to get a hold on high quality cameras and microphones for shooting a video. A very highly valued and important skill at this moment is video editing, proper placement of sections in the video, clipping at the right time and having awesome effects or transitions can add greater charm to your content and help it become less monotonous for the viewers. So get some hands on experience in video editing or find someone to do it for you.

Getting and maintaining a growth in subscribers is of great value, and the consistency with which you create and upload videos is critical. You should try upload your content at approximately the same time, be it a weekly thing or a daily, your subscribers will expect this consistency and you must honour their time. Everyone has  good days and bad days, this does not mean you can upload fillers or meaningless content just for the sake of it, in case of delays you can explain about  it the next time you upload a video, getting an honest reason for the delay is much better for the users rather than having some piece of crap thrown at them. Neglecting the thumbnail is one common mistake made by creators, your thumbnail is what attracts people, so what you would want to do is have a thumbnail which has high correlation with the content of the video, putting some thumbnail for clickbait is so not cool and it also spoils your credibility. You must also avoid putting thumbnails that are controversial or suggestive in nature.

Now that we have got the basics covered up, what we need to focus on is expanding your viewer base. Interacting with the community, linking your social media accounts like Facebook, Instagram to your channel helps viewers see a non-youtube side of yours.  It is very helpful in connecting to your viewers and knowing what they want next. This will help you bringing them back to your channel by implying that you read their comments and value their opinions. You also need to understand that like anywhere else in this  world you will have a lot of competitors who will give you a fight for the precious watch time of users, so reacting to other people’s works with anything other than positivity can be detrimental to your career, genuine praise for good content will help you gain respect not only from the users but from other creators as well and you might end having a collar with them, which is a win-win situation for both of you.

Hence to wind it all up, success in any form will not be served to you on a sliver platter you need to hustle for it, you need to fully devoted to your goal, half-hearted effort won’t land you anywhere. So if you are willing to work for it, nothing can stop you. And as someone truly said “Success is not a result of spontaneous combustion, you must set yourself on fire”.
