There are quite a few people making money on YouTube; you just need to know how. Today’s post has some helpful information to help you make money by producing and posting your own YouTube videos.
Keep in mind that you can’t just pull out your phone on a whim, video whatever comes to mind, post it, and find instant success. It takes some foresight and planning, but it can be done. Read through the following tips and tricks for the best shot at posting successful YouTube videos. Here’s hoping you ultimately go viral!
- Your success as a YouTuber is really dependent on the investment of time you make into producing a YouTube channel that is special or unique enough to attract lots of subscribers. So let go of the notion that you can spend a few minutes a day and make it big.
- Don’t just upload a few videos and hope one of them is lucky enough to go viral–it happens, but it isn’t likely. Most likely is the need to build a solid YouTube following, and you do that by regularly posting quality content that people want to watch. Besides the fact that YouTube won’t even allow you to turn on the monetization feature for your channel until you’ve proven that your content is worth it.
- You can use a smartphone to record your content if you have no other option, but it’s worth using the best equipment that you have access to. Make sure your videos are stable and not jerky–that means investing in something with good image stabilization. The other must is high-quality audio! Minimize background noises when you record, and invest in {or borrow} a good microphone if possible.
- Make sure that the viewers you do have know what to expect from you. That means engaging with them on a regular basis. It doesn’t matter if you choose to post your content daily, weekly, or less often. Just make sure that you establish regular posting your subscribers can count on.
- Establish a brand identity! Answering these questions will help: who are you? Who do you want to reach? What is your content about?
- Once you establish who you are and what your content is about, stick to it. Create a niche and work on growing your subscriber list. Being enthusiastic and passionate about your brand will help you do that naturally.
- Engage with your viewers through interaction. Post questions and reply to comments you receive, especially when you’re just starting out. Connect your other social media accounts to encourage more interaction with your subscribers.
- Last, but not least: BE PATIENT. Growing a following and making money takes time. Believe in yourself, and don’t give up!
