The quiz is down there, scroll down at the bottom of that page and before you take the test make sure you read everything on that website and we're going to go over the key points in this video so that you can prepare and take the test. Note, it is not a timed test which means you can take the test anytime and retake it if you mess it all up but it's a good idea to get everything right the first time, it'll make you feel a lot better and you should get it right the first time if you study. Alright guys, let's begin! Let's start with how to get viewers to find the audience. So the first step is really to be a collaborative. The best way to get an audience is to build it with another channel of similar size and similar content. Cross promote between your audiences. Now being accessible is also very important. What that means is if someone stumbles upon your videos in the middle of one of your series they should be able to get the context of what they're watching otherwise they may run away because they don't get the point of your video. So if you're in episode 10 make sure that you assume if someone joins right there for the very first time on episode 10 that they can also figure out what's going on and not feel like they're lost. Now being discoverable is a no-brainer actually. Just means that when there's a popular event or a major holiday make sure you have content around that. For example, the Twitch sale for $1 billion. YouTube bought Twitch for $1 billion. That's the big story of the day. Make a video about it like I did. If you go to youtube.com slash gamers you'll see it. Now if you search for Twitch or YouTube buys Twitch I am actually on the front page not at the top but on the front page and you can be sure that wouldn't have happened if I waited for a few days to make that video. So when there's an event make a video about it ASAP and if there's evergreen content things that people are always searching for also make that because you'll get views over time and be shareable. That means word of mouth. Make sure that you make content that people want to tell their friends about. That way you get free advertising and it's not just you trumpeting watch my videos it's your fans doing it to their friends. How do you keep your viewers happy so that they get what they signed up for? Let's find out. Be conversational. What that means is talk to your audience. Don't just talk to the camera. Ask them what you want. Read your comments. Make videos based on what people suggest to you in the comments. Don't just do what you want to do. Do what your audience wants you to do. Bond with your fans. Now the whole point of being interactive is that you need to gamify your videos. Offer multiple endings through annotations. Make sure that they'll have fun watching and participating and not just you have fun because it's all about the fans. It's actually not about you. And it's about being consistent. Being consistent means you don't change up the style of your channel. If you begin a channel with one kind of content keep doing it. If you want to create a new kind of content create a new channel. The reason for that is because your subscriber base expects a certain kind of stuff and if you change it they may unsubscribe and never come back. Polish your brand identity on YouTube. Make sure that people see a consistent brand so that they recognize you if they see you in thumbnails, in YouTube icons and that is very important if you're going to build a loyal audience because if you keep changing your look they won't recognize you the next time you change your look. Give your channel a proper introduction. Create that unsubscribed video. The one that people see when they come to your channel and they're not subscribed and make sure it's short. It's to the point it tells someone why they should subscribe so that they want to watch more of your videos. Don't just put your latest video into that featured spot. Make sure it's a video that's designed to get someone who's never heard of you before to subscribe to you. Get your viewers to interact. Use annotations. Use descriptions. This is extremely important because an audience that just watches your content is probably going to go somewhere else to watch the same content unless you give them something back. For example, shout outs. Talk to your audience and tell people who you like, whose comments are your favorites, whose channel you've checked out. Give them shout outs. And use Google Plus to get promoted off YouTube. Google Plus, even though some people don't like it does reach an audience away from YouTube and if you don't use Google Plus you're giving up a potential subscriber base that could discover you through the Google Plus search page. How YouTube videos make money in the YouTube monetization ecosystem. The key thing to remember here is that you don't need AdSense to make money. You just need to enable monetization in your videos or partner with a network and then automatically monetize all your videos so that you earn revenue. The most important thing is to make what you love. Don't just make things as a job because people will see through that. You have to make videos about what you truly love and your audience will be inspired with you. Keep yourself happy. Keep your viewers happy and that's the best advice we can give to get viewers. Those are the key points, I think, in the YouTube Bootcamp. I encourage you to go through the entire Bootcamp and tell me in the comments below what key points you felt were the most important so we can all learn from each other's experience.
