Tips to Creating a Successful YouTube Channel
In the last decade or so, social media platforms have become something that we visit on a daily basis whenever we access the Internet. Needless to say, these platforms have started affecting the way prospective customers think of a business. Keeping that in mind, businesses also have started leveraging the power of these platforms to reach out to new customers.
When we talk about social media platforms and online marketing, there are a few names that stand out. They are: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and YouTube, among the others. And believe me when I say this: YouTube is the most underutilized platforms.
Talking specifically about video sharing platforms, no other platform stands even close to YouTube. The best part is that there is no competition for YouTube. With over 1 billion unique users in a month and over 6 billion hours of videos watched in the same duration, this is a platform every business should look to leverage.
This article outlines how you can go about creating a successful YouTube channel. Here are a few things that you should take a note of:
1. Have a cool intro
Your channel needs an intro. Renderforest intro maker provides a variety of different intros to choose from. It is one of the widest template categories provided by Renderforest, and is a good option for individuals who are interested in experimenting with various animations. There are hundreds of templates to choose from. Check them out here.
2. Know Your Audience
This is something that comes directly out of a magician’s box. If you are familiar with your type of audience, it puts you in a better position to develop a content strategy. To be familiar with your audience, keep these four things in mind:
- The age group of your audience,
- Their professional qualifications and level of expertise,
- Things they would search on YouTube, and
- Their interests.
Now that you know your audience, you need to make sure that they stay connected to your channel. Not only this, but also you have to keep your content interesting so that they share your videos over social media.
Again as I mentioned about businesses leveraging the power of social media networks, this is how you can do it as well. So, before creating any type of content, let it be videos, infographics, posters, blog articles, etc., do a crosscheck to ensure that it caters to the particular audience that you want to target.
3. Posting on a regular basis
Maintaining continuous contact with your audience is of utmost importance. All it takes is posting videos on your YouTube channel on a regular basis.
For this, you don’t need to go too harsh on your content strategy. If it is not feasible to produce a video every week, make it a bi-weekly thing. At the end, all you need to be sure of is that it you’re on some type of schedule. Mark my words!
What will this do? The answer is simple. I follow you today because I saw one of your videos and found it interesting. I am bound to watch another video you put on your channel and probably another etc. Once I start feeling that your channel is one that I find interesting, I will always look out for your videos.
4. Good Quality Video
You see the bold letters? Yes, that is how important it is to have quality video. No matter how interesting the information in your video is, how it looks to the eye is more impressive. Having a good quality video makes sure that your videos actually look good to the audience. Coming back to the interesting information, it is equally important here as well.
So, two things here to focus on: Good quality videos & Interesting information
5. Audience Interaction
In the second point, we talked about having a regular posting schedule. On the same lines, it is also important that you interact with your audience. If you are posting interesting content with good quality at a targeted audience, you are bound to get a lot of people to subscribe to you and follow you on a regular basis. When you have a number of followers, they will certail leave comments on your videos. When they leave comments on your videos, always reply to them. And when it is something negative, counter it effectively; It’s like silencing the critics! But in a positive way!
6. Your views
When making your video, please remember to incorporate your own views. Think about the following:
- What do you think about that topic?
- How did your opinion come to be?
- In what areas can improvements be made?
- What are some things that you think people should consider when making these decisions? and
- Why doing a specific thing is important?
What does this do? It adds a personal touch to your videos, hence connecting to your audience in a better way by including the required emotional aspect.
These are a few things that we think you should know. This will definitely help you out in creating a successful channel!
