After being a YouTuber (people who make videos on YouTube) for some time, you may want to get more views and subscribers. To increase the number of viewers, you must create a more attractive YouTube Channel. This can be achieved by following the tips in this guide. Many people do not know these tips. As a result, they did not manage to become successful YouTubers.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Creating a Successful Channel
Step 1. Create a memorable and catchy Channel name
You should create a new Channel if you decide to focus the Channel on certain areas. If you decide to rename your Channel and focus on certain areas, you must delete the videos that have been uploaded previously so that the content of your Channel is consistent. For example, if your channel specializes in music, you should remove videos that are not related to music, such as cat videos or other videos. Use a well thought out Channel name to show professionalism and distinctiveness so that YouTube users can remember it easily.
- For example, a person named Ridwan Nur who likes to sing cover songs (songs performed by other singers) can use the following names: RidWanur, MusikRidwan, NadaNadaRidwan, and others. Make sure your name is easy to remember.
- YouTube users will search for your video and if your video has been viewed by many people, it will appear on the first page generated by the YouTube search engine. In addition, the name of your video will be saved in the search bar (search bar). Thus, if a user searches for a video name that is related to your video, your video name may appear in the search field. This will get more users to visit your Channel. Also, you should do some research to find popular topics related to your video. That way, when you make videos related to popular topics, you will get a lot of views. For example, if there's a new song that's currently popular and other YouTubers haven't made a cover for it yet, you might want to make it a cover song so that your video gets more views.
Step 2. Promote yourself and your Channel brand
Promoting yourself is very important. Some websites will recommend YouTubers' Channels to internet users for free. In addition, YouTube gives free space on Channel. You can use this empty space to create a cool layout that will attract the attention of visitors. Therefore, make the best use of the free space. Many successful YouTubers use text and images to showcase their channel's brand to subscribers.
- You must remember that the Channel that you create is a brand that must be maintained. Like any company or product brand, your channel must have its own image. If you have determined the image of the Channel, you must promote the Channel by using certain distinctive styles. In addition, the videos created must reflect the channel's image and have consistent content.
- An attractive design can attract people to visit your Channel. Plus, a distinctive design can help them remember your Channel. Therefore, if you want to be a successful YouTuber, you must create an attractive and distinctive design.
Step 3. Name and categorize videos well
Naming and categorizing videos properly is very important to keep your subscribers happy with the content you create. People love titles that describe the content of the video. In addition, the video must have an honest description that reflects the content of the Video. Otherwise, your video might get a lot of Dislikes. Visitors who want to watch your video may become reluctant after seeing a large number of Dislikes. Therefore, make sure the title of the video is not too long and use tags that are appropriate to the topic of your video. For example, when making a video about the automotive industry, you could use the following Tags: "car", "vehicle", and "four wheeler". Many people call this technique "tricks of the trade" (a term used to refer to a special technique that is not known to many). At first YouTube designed the tagging system as a system that should be used properly by many people because tagging is not a difficult thing. Unfortunately, many YouTubers give inappropriate video tags and titles, such as tagging "tech" and "funny" for cover video. By providing the right title and Tags, you will get a lot of viewers who are interested in your video. If you don't provide the right title and Tags, your video will fall into the wrong category and you won't get a lot of viewers.
If you are just starting your career as a YouTuber, you should not expect to get a lot of subscribers and views in a short time
Step 4. Make a high quality video
Create unique, high-quality videos to grab viewers' attention. If you make a schedule to produce one video a week, you can devote sufficient time to making high-quality videos. When you're shooting, you can apply many methods to produce an engaging video. If you plan to film yourself sitting behind a desk, you may want to buy a lamp that glows white and place it in front of you. Also, buy a high-resolution camera so you can see your face clearly and include songs in the video. If you take pictures in a dark room using a low resolution camera, the resulting video will be blurry. This can annoy the audience.
Step 5. Believe in yourself
You must have confidence in order to create a successful YouTube Channel. By having confidence, you can work hard to build and maintain a quality channel.
Method 2 of 3: Make Attractive and Trendy Videos
Step 1. Have an original idea
YouTube is considered a phenomenal medium because many people are getting success there. For example, Justin Bieber became popular after uploading videos on YouTube. Scooter Braun, an American businessman, asked him to pursue a career with him after seeing his videos on YouTube. Justin Bieber's career took off and he became the highest-paid teenage musician in the world. You don't have to be a singer to be successful on YouTube. If you have talents and interests in certain areas, try showing them by making videos on YouTube.
- If you've ever made a video that gets a lot of views, don't have high expectations, such as getting one million views for every video you make. You will be devastated if the video fails to live up to your expectations. Therefore, you should have realistic targets and keep trying to achieve them.
- You will not get a lot of views and subscribers in one month. Therefore, make realistic targets. You'll have a hard time hitting a lofty goal unless you manage to make a video that doesn't make any sense, like filming an alien craft landing on earth. As such, you should make videos using original ideas. In addition, make sure the video is made in detail and apply video-making techniques that can attract the attention of the audience.
- Don't copy other people's videos. Viewers are reluctant to see videos whose content is similar to the videos they have watched. In addition, they may dislike or even report your video if you are caught copying someone else's video.
Step 2. Make an interesting video
Make unique videos that grab people's attention. For example, if you like singing and want to upload a cover song video, you shouldn't sing while sitting in a chair without providing interesting interaction to the audience. To create a catchy cover song video, you'll need to spend a fair amount of time learning the song. In addition, you also have to practice singing while looking at the camera and showing things that are unique to you while recording. Don't upload videos that just show you singing. Try to combine different styles in making videos. For example, upload a video of you singing at a talent show or in your car. When you create high-quality videos that exceed people's expectations, they will revisit your Channel to keep seeing your latest videos.
For example, Edho Zell is a famous YouTuber from Indonesia. He managed to get one million Subscribers for uploading videos regularly and making videos that entertain his audience
Step 3. Upload videos regularly
YouTube has many successful video bloggers, such as Raditya Dika and Fathia Izzati. However, their success makes some YouTubers feel pessimistic about getting the same popularity as them. Like other successful YouTubers, both Youtubers upload videos every week on a regular basis. Uploading videos regularly is the most important thing to do to get and keep viewers watching your videos. Making videos on a regular basis can be a major job and even a career for many YouTubers. Creating new videos on a regular basis can help you get viewers' attention on YouTube. While uploading videos can be a time-consuming and tedious process, it's well worth the payoff. When you've made fifty or more videos, your Channel should have an audience that likes your videos and continues to enjoy them. Surely you have to work hard to become a successful and famous YouTuber.
- To upload videos regularly, you can make videos every day, every week, or several videos in one week. If you have a busy schedule that you can't leave behind, like work or school, you might want to consider uploading a video every week. That way, you can use your free time on the weekends to make videos.
- If you have a unique idea, make a video using that idea. Many YouTubers fail to find success because they make videos that are monotonous and don't have a unique idea.
- Try to upload interesting videos on a regular basis instead of uploading a large number of poor quality videos. Some YouTubers even upload a hundred videos in one day because they want to get immediate success. However, viewers will see the video as spam (data or messages that appear in large numbers that annoy internet users). This can make them reluctant to watch the video and these YouTubers don't get a lot of views for their channel.
Method 3 of 3: Getting the YouTube Community to Know You
Step 1. Get active with YouTube users
To become an active YouTuber, you must comment, like, and subscribe to channels made by other YouTubers so that you are known and can get new subscribers.
Step 2. Give a positive response to the work of others
By doing this, you will get the following benefits:
- Responding to popular videos is the way to get View. Besides, it can help you become a famous YouTuber.
- Make interesting videos that relate to other people's videos. This is done to build a relationship between you and the YouTube community.
- Apart from uploading videos in response to other people's videos, you should also provide feedback to other YouTubers. You should comment on unpopular videos that are related to yours. This way, you can build a relationship between you and the YouTube community. This can increase your subscriber count and even help you make new friends.
- You shouldn't give other YouTubers casual comments, such as "cool!" and "the singer is beautiful!". Instead, you should leave comments that can lead to interaction between you, other YouTubers, and viewers. In this way, you can develop an emotional bond with them. We recommend that you don't ask people to subscribe to your channel because it can present yourself as desperate to get subscribers. On the other hand, you have to get to know other YouTubers as well as the audience in earnest.
Step 3. Respect others
You shouldn't have high hopes for anyone on YouTube. If you are polite, you have a better chance of success. Asking viewers to like and subscribe will make them irritated and bored. Try imagining yourself getting hundreds of emails with the same content. Of course, it can make you annoyed and bored too. If you view your audience as a stepping stone to success, you will achieve nothing in your career as a YouTuber. You should use your videos as a tool to inform or entertain people. Also, you shouldn't expect any kind of response from the audience.
Step 4. Add your social media accounts into Channels, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat
Social media accounts can help you keep in touch with your audience on social media websites.
Don't vlog (video blog) if you don't have a huge fan following. Only fans of famous YouTubers want to see their idol's daily activities
Step 5. Give gifts and thank the audience
You can give a giveaway if you achieve certain targets, such as getting one hundred thousand subscribers or uploading one hundred videos. You can also thank your fans, follow them on Twitter, or make a video to thank them.
Tips
- Whenever possible, use a high-resolution camera to wow the audience. However, many YouTubers start their careers without using sophisticated equipment and manage to become successful YouTubers. High quality equipment can give you great benefits. However, you don't have to have these tools to be a successful YouTuber.
- Don't reply to negative comments from viewers as it will only waste your energy. You should ignore those comments and reply to comments that support you and constructive criticism.
- Use lighting effectively. You can find videos explaining lighting techniques on YouTube.
- Download non-copyrighted songs to use on your videos.
- Put music into the video.
- Try to show a good appearance.
- Present yourself as confident and polite. Plus, getting your friends and family to subscribe to your Channel can help you as long as the videos aren't boring and you don't force them. If you force people to subscribe to your Channel, you won't get a loyal audience.
- Make sure you know how to edit videos. Polishing videos in the post-production stage (post-production or the stage of making videos after taking pictures) is very important. Editing a video can make a video look and sound more attractive.
- Here are some video categories commonly used by YouTubers: Gaming, Music, Vlogging, Comedy, Beauty, Fashion, and others.
Warning
- Make sure you don't provide any personal information in the video or video description.
- Be wary of scams and violent videos all over YouTube.
- Report anything inappropriate to YouTube.
- Don't make videos that contain violence, pornography and terror because YouTube is a family-friendly website.
- Don't message YouTube users under the age of 13.
- Don't upload videos that are inconsistent with other videos you've uploaded. Otherwise, you may lose the audience.
- Don't copy other people's videos. While you can use other people's ideas, you should not copy the content of the video.
