YouTube used to be a video-sharing website back in 2006, people used to share their cats and funny home videos. A decade later, making videos on YouTube is a full-time job for a lot of creators. So much so that YouTube is no longer a website, it’s an industry with its celebrities, annual conferences, and award shows.
This infographic takes you through what it takes to create a Successful Youtube channel.
Getting Started
First, you have to start with your purpose and yourself with the following questions:
- Who will watch my videos and how big is my potential audience?
- What type of content will I create?
- When have people done this before?
- Why do I want to start?
- Where do I want this adventure to lead me?
- How will I keep making my content better with time?
You’ll also have to think about the category for your channel. Whether you’ll decide on a gaming channel, a beauty channel, or do daily vlogs, all of those are popular categories on YouTube that have taken off in the past couple of years.
Getting started also means you need to come up with a creative channel name, set up social media accounts, and invest in quality video equipment for YouTube.
Should you buy a professional 4K DSLR right away or buy a point-and-shoot for vlogging? Will a Mirrorless camera be a great alternative to both? Which action camera will give the most bang for your buck? Find out in the infographic below.
Creating a successful YouTube channel also means you need to produce great content and monetize efficiently. Except for getting paid by YouTube, you can monetize your content with brand sponsorships, merchandise deals, selling clothes, affiliate products, fan funding, or book deals.
