 There you are how to actually become a youtuber. Hey if you've been wanting to be a youtuber You just got on the right video I'm going to show you how to do the simple steps that you need to become a youtuber and we're starting right now You know, it's really not that complicated a lot of people try and try and try they aren't successful on YouTube But it's because they're missing one of the 11 steps I'm about to give you right now and I've got a bonus for you at the end too. I've got a free course I want to give you about how to make some money online, but let's go ahead and get into this video first, okay? so the first thing that you want to do is Define what successful is okay if you want to be a youtuber and you want to make videos and do all this stuff What exactly does that look like is that a certain number of subscribers is that? How much money you're gonna make is it fame and notoriety? What exactly is it because if you don't define that it's kind of hard to tell if you got there or not And keep in mind if you're picking money here, you're not gonna make money off ads in the beginning It's just not gonna happen. It takes a while You got to have a thousand subscribers and four thousand hours of watch time So you kind of got to set that on the back burner and work on your channel more and work on other streams of income Number two you got to define your channel's content. What is it gonna be about? Who's gonna be watching your channel now? Yeah, it can be fun shooting videos. It's fun, but it's also work today. I'm shooting videos from my YouTube channel This is one of them. This is one of 12 that I'm shooting today. So that's a lot of videos That's a lot of content, but it's also a lot of work and you got to realize it is a job Okay, so making these videos on YouTube are gonna take you a lot of time and a lot of effort And if you're not willing to put forth that time and effort, you're not gonna be a youtuber It's not gonna happen. Number three. You got to map it out. How are you gonna do all this? What equipment are you gonna need? How many hours are you gonna spend working on this? You've got to map this out guys. This is something you really have to plan and you've got to make time for it I think a lot of people say they want to have a YouTube channel and then when they feel like making a video They'll go ahead and make a video, but unfortunately, it doesn't work that way. This is a real business You really have to put forth the effort. You've got to have the equipment you need now in the beginning Can you use your iPhone and stand in front of something that's lit? Yeah, you could do that However on down the road, you're gonna want to improve it You're gonna want to get more equipment. You're gonna need to know what you need Number four you want to make sure that your page channel is welcoming. It's something that people want to go to understand This is a visual medium. Let's check out mine right here. Alright, so here's my page right here You can see it has a banner at the top. It states clearly what I do I help people start running grow online businesses. That's pretty clear I and if you notice over here also, I have some links that go to different things some of my other websites I've got a video there in the center Which is a video that I've programmed to pop up at a certain time and then below that I have my other videos But basically it looks professional. Okay, it looks like something people would want to stay at you've got to do the same thing with your Channel I've seen so many channels where they don't even have a banner. They don't have a picture there They don't have links. They haven't set what videos are going to play when they go to the channel Understand people will watch one of your videos They'll search and watch one of your videos and then they'll go to your channel to see what other videos you have If they get there and it looks like it's incomplete. They're gonna leave and you're not gonna get subscribers Number five mind your SEO on your channel I think a lot of people forget about this the way channels are found or the same way that videos are found You have to put the right keywords in there You've got to SEO it correctly or your channels not gonna come up now Some people will actually put in a few keywords like how to make money online and then they will sort by Channels so they can find channels that talk about that particular subject if you don't have all that setup in your account And you don't have all that SEO done then you're behind the eight ball Okay, you need to have all that fixed now the best way to go about this is find some successful channels They're in the same niche as you and use something like TubeBuddy, which I'll put a link below It's a free software and you can actually see what keywords they're using on their channel And you can use similar keywords on yours Number six is be Consistent now this is something I struggled with when I first started because I didn't really know how it works I didn't quite understand YouTube loves consistency. They love love love consistency So if you start making a video every Monday Wednesday and Friday and you keep doing that You're gonna have that consistency now if you make two or three videos in a week And then you wait a month and then you upload five more and then you wait two weeks Then you upload one video you'll never grow your channel. It's not gonna happen You need to decide how many videos a month you're gonna do and you need to spread those out So if you're gonna only do four videos a month, that's fine It's gonna take you a little bit longer to grow But you'll want to do it once a week on the same day in the same time you need to have this consistency as YouTube algorithm starts to search your platform and see this they're gonna realize that you're always doing this on a Monday You're always doing this on a Wednesday. You're doing it at 10 a.m. Whatever it is and that's what feeds the algorithm having that consistency in there You've got to have consistency number seven is get to the point super important now when I started this video I told you what the video was gonna be about and then I immediately jumped into number one and what it was Okay, so number seven is get to the point people don't have time to waste with long bumpers in the beginning with long Explanations about who you are or what you've done They want their question answered and if you don't answer it quickly in the beginning They're gonna click off and they're gonna go to another video So if something takes five minutes to explain and you're taking 20 minutes in your video to explain it You're gonna lose viewers. You're just gonna lose viewers Now the question is well, how long should my video be then it should be long enough to Concisely explain whatever you want to say or demonstrate whatever you want to demonstrate now Ideally a video should be between 10 14 minutes. They tell you at least eight minutes I like to do a little bit longer to get a little bit more watch time But I can't just fill that time with fluff It's got to be actual usable information or the viewer is gonna click away number eight is keep up with your niche Whatever your niche is Now my niche is selling stuff online. So since I sell stuff online I have people who are affiliates. I have people who have products. I have people who have digital products I have people who sell their services and I need to know all those different areas You want to be looked at as an expert in your niche and mine is making money online, whatever that encompasses So whatever new software that comes out. I've got to be on top of that People want to know, you know, is this a good email marketing software? And by the way, you want to get Cartra for the best email marketing software best funnel builder best everything a little Little off track here but go down in the Description section at the end of this video and you can watch what Cartra will do for you And you can get a trial for a dollar that is my affiliate link But anyhow, I have to stay on top of this stuff if I don't know about these things I can't share it with my audience if something new comes out or a new way of sending emails or texting people comes out And I don't cover it Then they're not going to come to this channel to get the information they need and my channel won't grow So it's super important that you stay on top of your niche You can't learn about this one thing that you're teaching and never learn anymore You've got to consistently learn more and more and more every single day So that your audience stays on top of the niche to number nine is manage your community now What do I mean by that? I mean that you've got to stay involved people when they watch your videos They want to have that one-on-one connection with you and they may comment on something if they comment on something and you guys That are welcome to comment. You'll see I'll do this. You've got to comment back You've got to respond to them They are actually trying to reach out to you by writing something on your video in the comment section and guys Feel free to do that. I would love if you've reached out to me They're giving you some feedback if you ignore them and you never respond to them and you never go back to the comments They're gonna quit doing it and other people who are thinking about commenting if they look in there and they see that you never Respond to anybody they're gonna say well, that's a waste of time. Now. Why is this important? well, it's important because if YouTube sees that people are interacting with your video by putting comments by subscribing You know by giving you a thumbs up or whatever it is They're gonna push your content out to more and more viewers and you're gonna get more viewers You're gonna get more subscribers So you've got to be part of it another great thing to do and I do it a lot lately is I go live I go live and just answer their questions They have different questions about different things and they want to know about it I go live and I help them out that way. I do it at 9 a.m. In the morning I have regulars that show up and watch the videos and then I have new people that pop in there, too And they can see that I'm actually trying to help them out and then makes more subscribers come in Number 10 spread the word with a killer website. Yeah, I really recommend you having a website guys It's so important that if they watch your video They have someplace else to go to get more information about you They can see different products but different services Whatever it is that you have to offer if you don't have a website to back up all this You're missing out. You really are missing out because people who like you who like your videos who like your content They're gonna want to get more information from you. And yes, that's more work. It's gonna cost you more work It's gonna take you more time, but that's what it's gonna take to be a youtuber if you're serious about this Then you need to do these things and if you don't want to do these things Don't waste your time and make any videos at all because if you don't do these other things your channel won't grow Super important that you do it number 11 learn from the analytics inside YouTube studio is gonna have all your analytics You're gonna see how long they're watching your videos You're gonna see which videos are the most viewed videos So I would also go in after you have a hundred or two hundred videos Which may sound like a lot to you, but it really isn't your your first hundred videos is really your learning platform And I don't want to disappoint anybody watching this video and you had ideas that you could do 20 videos and go viral And make a million dollars. It's not gonna happen. It just doesn't happen. It's extremely rare for that to happen Usually what happens when somebody makes say 20 or 50 videos and they get a huge audience It's because they already had another channel and they were telling the people in the other channel Hey, I started a new channel come on over here and check this out. That's normally how it's done I looked at a channel the other day from Quantron and I watch him and he does a lot of cooking stuff He's gained some weight. So he started another channel called chubby QT Which is the first initial of each of his names and he got a lot of subscribers real fast And he got thousands of views But it's because he already put in all the work on his first channel and he brought over a lot of those people now Will he get new subscribers off that channel? Of course he will but you'll find a lot of youtubers will have two three four channels I know one guy has 20 different channels because once you built up that audience You can push them to another channel and quickly build up another channel But if you think you're gonna do that in the beginning, it's not gonna happen. It takes time You've got to put in the effort now another good little hack here and something you can do is go to one of your competitors Channels somebody who's got a lot of subscribers a lot of views that type of thing Go in there and click on their videos when you're inside the channel and sort by the most popular video the most Viewed videos and look at those videos Can you do a video that's similar to that video because what you're doing is actually borrowing data from another channel? They've already figured out certain things work on their channel odds are it's probably gonna work on your channel, too So find that video that's done really well try to make a better version of that video Maybe yours is a little bit longer. Maybe yours goes into a little bit more depth Maybe yours has a little bit better edits to it Maybe the quality of the filming is better, but try to improve upon something that was already successful This is a really great hack for anybody growing their channel. So with those steps You can be a youtuber too. You can actually do that now. I also told you that I have a course. It's a $97 course It's below in the description.
