After being a part of YouTube for a while, you might have reached a point where you'd be super happy for more views and subscribers. To gain a wider and bigger viewership, you need to produce a more sophisticated and attractive YouTube channel. This can be achieved by following these suggestions, many of which are overlooked by many users when trying to become successful on YouTube.
1.Craft a recognizable channel name. It is best to start off from scratch when creating a channel dedicated to what you think could be successful on YouTube. Don’t just add new videos after reading the top ten tips to your badly named channel (e.g. catlover99), with videos of your cat from 2003 still available to view. Use a channel name that is well thought out, to show a professional and iconic channel for users to remember.
For example, a boy named John Smith who likes to sing covers could use numerous channel names like these: JohnSmith, JohnCovers, SmithSings. All easy to remember.
Users will search for your videos and you will soon show up in the first search page rankings and in the auto-remember search bar. That will bring a lot of website traffic to your channel. As well as this, if you do your research into what's trending with current subjects relating to your videos, you can get high views from posting the first video to a new topic (e.g. the first cover song of a certain artist).
2.Promote yourself and your brand. Self promotion is of the utmost importance. Some sites will share out channels for free. YouTube gives you space around your channel to put in a cool layout, so use this space to your advantage. Many successful users use text and images to show their subscribers and followers their brand.
The "brand" refers to the way that you promote yourself and/or your company/gig and can help define who you are and what you do.
Attractive graphics can bring people back to channels, and help users remember you/your company, which is very important to becoming successful on YouTube.
3.Name and categorize appropriately. Naming and categorizing your videos correctly is vital to keeping users happy with your content. People like a descriptive title, and a description that's evaluative and truthful. If you lie in your title, you will get negatively thrashed in the ratings bar (putting viewers off instantly). So be sure to keep titles short whilst tagging videos effectively with relatable words to your videos such as: "car", "vehicle", "lorry". Many blogs refer to these techniques as ‘tricks of the trade’. However, in reality, YouTube originally set out the idea of tagging correctly as common sense, and it effectively names your videos appropriately, therefore you will get views from the correct audience. If you don’t you will fail, and end up posting videos in bad categories (like tagging a music cover with: ‘reviews’ ‘technology’... not good.)
When you first start out on YouTube, don’t expect any more than three ratings per video.
4.Produce good quality videos. When creating a video, produce high quality and fresh content for your audience to look forward to. If you keep a schedule of 'one video a week’ you can spend time working on your video. When shooting a video, there are many methods to success. If you are shooting yourself at a desk, be sure to buy a (white) light to sit in front of you and a high-definition camera to record your beautiful face. Nothing is more annoying than a blurry video, which has been shot in a dark room with rubbish sound and no faded music in the background.
5.
Believe that yourself. This simple yet vital aspect can help you to succeed when putting hard work into building and maintaining your channel.
