You've probably heard of vlogs and vloggers before. Many people love to shoot videos on interesting topics, opinions, points of view or just their daily life. Let's take a closer look at this world.
Steps
Step 1. Think of a topic to focus on vlogs
It can be any, as long as it's not boring, offensive, or illegal. Inspired by the most famous vloggers, such as Katersoneseven, Charlieissocoollike, Nerimon, Frezned, Italktosnakes or Vlogbrothers. However, you need to be unique and show your true self. Do not copy: do not do things seen and reviewed.
Step 2. Open a YouTube account and give the channel a tempting name
It should be interesting. Make sure you think carefully about the username, as it is virtually impossible to be successful with a confusing, illegible, and full of numbers username.
Step 3. Shoot at least 10 videos of excellent quality
They must actually be good and interesting. For some time, post one or two a day, and then do it daily or every other day. Try to be consistent in posting and don't skip too many days, because users prefer to follow trustworthy YouTubers. For example, if viewers get used to seeing your video every Wednesday, they will expect you to upload one on time.
Step 4. It is no longer possible to publish response videos, but you can advertise yourself under the best-known videos, linked to the topic covered in yours
You will attract at least one fifth of the users who viewed the original video. The Awesomeness TV channel allows you to publish videos below those of one of his series, entitled “How to Be a YouTube Star”.
Step 5. Stay active:
no one will be interested if you don't post videos for years. If possible, try to upload movies on a specific day. A vlogger should do this at least three to four times a week. You can not? Offer at least one weekly vlog.
Step 6. Edit the videos
This can make a difference: in fact, the way a product is packaged can convince users to click on the video or ignore it. Follow tutorial to learn how to use the software you have on your computer. Windows has Windows Movie Maker pre-installed, while Apple devices feature iMovie. Android offers Movie Maker instead.
Step 7. If you learn to edit, you can also set the banner, preview and avatar
By gaining the YouTube partnership, a whole new world full of options for enhancing and promoting videos opens up for you. Setting up an avatar is easy, but if you want a banner you will have to choose an image and modify it to fit the margins indicated. When you are a partner, you also have the opportunity to create a customized video preview. As you edit, make sure you insert any text well, clearly show your face or the subject of the movie, and use a cool background.
Step 8. Once you've built a good reputation in the YouTube community, try to become a partner
You will need a few thousand views to do this. This social network pays you to post ads on your videos, in fact many successful vloggers make money thanks to this medium. Plus, your movies will often appear in search results as well.
Step 9. Communicate with users who follow you
Don't close in on yourself or ignore them. Take some time to respond to comments, messages, and videos they tag you in. This allows you to make a good impression and they will appreciate it.
Advice
- Generally, it's not a good idea to post links to your videos that appear to be spam. Try advertising with your friends and ask them to promote the channel's content. Also, try to build a good relationship with other vloggers and comment often before you start spreading your vlogs.
- If you haven't already, open a Twitter and Facebook account. They are great ways to interact with users and inform them of new videos posted. Also, they allow you to share photos.
