What is a YouTuber?
YouTubers are people who believe in the power of Do It Yourself!
They create their own YouTube channels, vlog (video blog) regularly and
build subscribers over time. The more traffic their channel gets, the
more opportunities they have for percentage-based advertising revenue,
freebies for review purposes, promotions and partnerships.
YouTubing tends to start out as a hobby not a career. However, with
time, effort and luck it can become a career… and one that pays well. At
the very worst, you’ll end up doing something you love and maybe making
a bit of money on the side.
So tell me more about how to be a YouTuber
In the Get Started section we talk about the basics of how to
become a YouTuber – so, how to think about setting up a channel, and
tips for getting commercial revenue out of it. Now let’s have a look at
how you could build your traffic and subscribers – because that’s the
way to make money from YouTube.
YouTube fame tips
- Have a niche
- Make your content funny/shocking/passionate/knowledgeable/inspirational
- Keep adding new content –vlog often and regularly
- Tag your videos with culturally relevant tags so that people can find your vlogs when they browse search online
- If there’s a local YouTube gathering area, go to it. Meet people,
make friends, be friendly to everyone – you’ll probably end up with new
subscribers and new collaborative videos
- Do video responses to hot topics of the moment (and tag them)
- If someone wants to help you, go bold and say YES. Collaborate with
anyone who asks, make it a community thing. The bigger your community,
the bigger your traffic. The world of YouTubers is all about community.
- Go bold and ask people if they want to collaborate on a video with
you! Ask people you like via YouTube and Twitter. You may not get the
really big names, but start small and enjoy the world you do together.
Keep saying to yourself: community.
- Make sure your YouTube channel looks really good. Have a cool name
for your channel, make it look clean and professional but also artistic
in a way that matches your personality. Show the world how much you care
about what you do.
- If you’ve got other websites or social accounts going, make sure you link to them in your channel descriptions.
