All right first Wow, you know, I'm still trying to process that I brainwashed 10,000 people Positively, you know, that's got to be more people than I met in real life So, you know big thanks. I really mean it, you know, I know it sounds cliche, but without you guys there wouldn't be a channel Now if you're a youtuber or you're interested in becoming one and believe me, it's not too late Then stick around until the end of this video because I'm giving away free access to my ebook 50 big tips to improve your YouTube channel. Normally, it's priced at 1999 but just for you guys as a thanks for watching. It's gonna be free So let's begin tip number one if you want to become a youtuber and actually grow Then you first need to choose the right niche for you Because you can follow all the great tips in the world But if you don't get this right then your foundation will be no good So I suggest that you follow these three guidelines Number one, you got to make videos that you actually love and are actually passionate about You know Steve Jobs said the only way to do great work is to love what you do Next you got to make videos that you're an expert in Otherwise, you won't have credibility I'm not gonna make a video on how to gain a hundred thousand subscribers because I've never done it and Lastly, you got to make videos that are in demand or not saturated because real talk Otherwise, you're not gonna find an audience to watch them Tip number two is to practice good YouTube SEO now I can be a nerd on this and talk about it for hours, but this includes optimizing your title Writing long detailed descriptions Researching your tags and all that good stuff. There's still way too many youtubers who neglect this This isn't 2006 where you can just upload yourself eating a banana in a bridge position Going down the stairs and then expecting to get 86,000 views and then going to work the next day and your boss telling you He watched your video Tip number three is to use the right tools. They say a dog is a man's best friend Well, TubeBuddy is a youtuber's best friend You can use TubeBuddy for numerous things like researching your tags and keywords Knowing when's the best time to upload to even knowing where your competitors are posting on Reddit The point is you're at a big disadvantage if you're not using TubeBuddy Tip number four is to thank every supporter and that starts with replying back to every comment If someone takes the time to watch one of my videos and write something then I'm gonna take the time to write something back So I want to thank every single viewer who's ever given me feedback Even if they didn't like my videos and I also want to take the time to thank my four patrons who help support this channel I want to thank Adam of AskAdamTorres.com. I want to thank Matthew I want to thank Romain if you guys like cars then you guys got to check out his Facebook fan page And I want to thank Julian from Far From Average He does whiteboard animations like me and he has a lot of potential so check him out Tip number five you have to understand what's relative audience retention and overall watch time session You have to understand that YouTube is a business Their goal is to keep viewers like you engaged and ready to watch the next video So you have to try to find a way to make your viewers watch the entire video If you guys have watched the endings of my videos There's a reason why I ask a multiple choice question and keep option D a mystery until the last few seconds It's so you watch the entire video Similarly, it's the same reason why I ethically bribed you guys early on with my free ebook So you guys have to find a way very early on to give incentives to your audience Like hinting them towards the best part of your video towards the end But of course you guys can't bore your audience So make sure you put good parts in the beginning and middle as well Tip number six is to network with other youtubers There's lots of ups and downs being a youtuber and you don't need to do it alone So get to know others, especially those in your niche like comment and other videos or Join forums like the YT talk That's actually how I met this handsome fellow Brandon from 1% better when I barely had 300 subs And if you guys don't know Brandon Well, he makes whiteboard animations like me but focuses more on book summaries And I encourage you guys to check him out because he was able to grow to 25,000 subscribers in one year Which is like crazy Also, I want to thank him because he was the first person to say that I was gonna make it to 10k subscribers When I didn't believe it yet He's one of the reasons I was able to grow because I studied channels like his this brings me to tip number seven Learn from the Titans I believe it was Tony Robbins who said to model yourself after successful people because success leaves clues So follow people like Roberto Blake, Tim Schmoyer or Daryl Eves These people know what they're talking about so join their Facebook groups Retweet them and hop on any opportunity you can to get to know them Like I hopped on to a live video chat twice on blab with Roberto Blake when I had just 200 subs Which accelerated my learning curve now? They are very busy people they can be difficult to get a hold of but there are rising YouTube experts like Nick Nimmin and Brian G. Johnson Now I couldn't decide which of the three pictures he sent me to use so I'm putting all three Tip number eight is to become more efficient with your time For example when you first get started experiment with a lot of different ways on how to promote But as soon as you start seeing results then start to focus and double down on what works and then reduce or even completely cut Out what isn't helping you much? This is basically applying Pareto's 80-20 rule like for me It was Twitter at first giving me the most traffic so I spent most of my time there But then I came across Brandon's post in the YT talk forum and there he shared some great tips on Reddit Now at that time reddit was a strange and scary place for me So I only spent a little bit of my time there But as soon as I started seeing results on Reddit much greater than Twitter I quickly start to shift more and more of my time there tip number nine is to do collaborations I've seen a lot of youtubers grow rapidly this way. You could even grow more than 10,000 subscribers Overnight with this method now I've personally not started doing collaborations yet for one main reason and that's because I see it like winning a lottery They say 70% of lottery winners or a some number like that go broke after five years And that's because they never really understood how money works So if you gain 10,000 subscribers overnight because you did a collaboration with like PewDiePie or someone huge or They gave you a shout-out or you uploaded a video that went viral. You might not be able to handle the momentum Now I've seen a lot of youtubers plummet and views and subscribers and It can get very depressing when your stats are going downhill like that So in my opinion, you know, you can collaborate your way to the top, but I think it's better when you learn the foundations first But with that said I'm finally opening my doors for collaborations So moving forward you might see other faces on this channel so if you're in my niche or you just want to create a win-win situation or you just want a network and feel free to message me My last tip is on persistence Now I'm sure you've heard this a thousand times, but there really is no magic formula for success Once you start seeing results, you just got to keep going and going In fact, my entire channel is based on my seven-step system to have endless motivation I wanted to design a system that would eliminate my procrastination and maximize my productivity I wanted to originally write a book, but then I realized that I could impact more people if I created a YouTube channel You know, I often think of success like chopping a big tree down with an axe Nothing will really happen if you just give it a few whacks But if you keep hitting the same spot again and again, the impossible becomes possible Now if you're still waiting for the free e-book, well, here's the promo code to get your 100% discount The link will be in the descriptions below.
