The video is broke down into 4 parts:
1. Finding your niche
2. Networking and growing subscribers
3. Making the BEST Videos you can
4. Video Search Optimization (making it so that people will find your videos)
1. Finding your Niche. You need to pick a focus and stick with it. I’ve created other YouTube channels before, I tried to do a daily vlog, motivational videos, fitness videos, life hacks video, and I even vlog about food, but I rather just eat…. and through it all I found that I naturally enjoy doing tech videos that most. So that’s what I stuck with.
2. NETWORKING and growing your subscribers: Growing your first 100 subscribers. The first 100 subscribers was very difficult for me too, after I asked all my family, friends, and co-workers to subscribe, I was still at around 11 subscribers for weeks! Then I started to network with other YouTubers and it helped a lot. I would subscribe to Luther youtubers channels and asked if they would subscribe to my channel. This is called Sub4Sub, and it’s frequently frown upon, because people typically do it just for the numbers and not for the networking aspect. Sub4Sub can get your channel terminated if you do it just for the numbers and not networking aspect! My advice is find new YouTubers who make videos that are in your niche; subscribe to their channel and build a friendship with them, so you can help each other out. Seriously, take the time to watch each other’s videos and comment with good genuine feedback so you can both grow. This is a big part of how is how UTECHPIA grew, and I think it is very hard to grow without doing this. Once you get to about 100 subscribers, then you should focus more on creating content.
3. START Making videos as SOON as possible, and make videos as OFTEN as possible. Don’t wait until you get to 100 subscribers, start making videos right away. Don’t expect your videos to be perfect, because they WILL not be. This was the hurdle for me because I’m a perfectionist and kept re-recording my videos. So don’t worry about being perfect. The more videos you make, the better you will get.
4. How to get people to FIND your videos? YouTube is a big Giant Search Engine.
You have to learn how to make videos that people will search for. In the Tech Word, that’s talking about the hottest technology, doing a HowTo or Comparison video usually works best, where as unboxing and reviews are typically over saturated and won’t get as many views. Also, in the tech world, you can stay up to date about the news from top blog sites, this will give you an edge so you can make videos about the latest news. These types of videos are often searched for.
You also have to know how to make the video title, description, and tags optimize for search results. I use two tools, TubeBuddy and vidIQ (links in the description below). They are FREE tools that allow help me create tags, and it also shows me the tags that other competing videos use. They also contain a lot of analytical tools that help understand your videos as well as other YouTuber’s videos.
