Do you want to start a YouTube channel? And you do not know exactly how to go about doing it? Well, you have come to the right place. We will give you tips, tricks, and ideas to get you going in the right direction. With YouTube being one of the most used social media platforms for posting original works it is not a wonder why so many creative people gravitate towards it. However, this also makes it difficult to stand out from the crowd, but if you stick to it you can get results. And marketing what you post can also help out a lot, especially for small businesses that you might want to become even if you are a one-man/woman/z show.
What You Should Be Doing
The first thing you would want to do is to know what you want to post. Is it a vlog? A how-to-video? Gameplay? Animation? Short films? Reviews? Commentary? Or a mixture? Nailing this down can go a long way to give you focus as well as help with your branding. A mixture of content can be tricky since the audience usually likes to know what they would be getting. However, it is possible with a schedule.
Scheduling is important but it is not only when you upload but how you go about creating your content. You should treat it as a business with a plan. When will you film? And when will you edit? Plus, what time and day would you post? As well as how often? Every “genre” on YouTube takes time, some more than others. Daily uploads are usually done with vlogs and gameplays while the rest could take longer depending on the amount of research. Even for reviews and commentary since you would have to know what you are talking about.
Another factor is to post regularly. This can be done daily, weekly, monthly, twice a month, etc. Posting once a year would not be required since people cannot wait that long and they will forget. They would think that your channel is dead. The content that you what to make should be the best that it can be since this can help you market it.
How To Market?
Content should be entertaining, fun, and informative even if you decide to do gameplays. The better your content is the easier it can be marketed. Plus, your audience can even help you with that by sharing it. Tags are a good way to get your content to a certain audience since people will search for what they need to know or what they want to watch. This can help increase your YouTube views which will help you gain more traction. You should also research what tags can work as well as research and play around with thumbnails. The latter is the first thing people will see, and they will come back if your content is good. You can opt to buy views to give yourself a boost but do not do it regularly since an audience will notice giving your work a bad taste.
