Introduction
Have you been thinking about creating your own YouTube channel? In this blog, I will explain how to create a credible channel, how to market your channel, how to use your channel to create a brand, and how to make your channel profitable. Starting a YouTube channel can be a fun and exciting way to share your interests. You can reach many people and build a community around your content. I will be your guide to help you succeed on this competitive platform.
Credible Channel
It would be in your best interest to make the quality of your videos good and don’t skip this step or else people may not trust your videos. You have to consider your upload schedule and make it consistent and good quality, not just high quantity.
Having a consistent upload schedule is useful so people know when you drop videos, for example, Tuesday and Thursday. This predictability helps build anticipation among your audience and encourages them to return regularly for new content. Try to use good and popular editing software; if you can, find a free one or invest in a quality paid option while starting out. Quality editing enhances the overall production, making your videos more engaging and professional.
A way to get people to trust you more is if you cite your sources, furthermore, correcting misinformation that you may have stated. Another way to gain traction is to make playlists/episodes of content so viewers stay engaged and come back, which is why its important to have a consistent schedule makes this much easier for viewers to know when to come back.
The last tip is to have a good and professional about me/bio section to make yourself more legit. A good example of this can be “Welcome to my channel! Here, you’ll find a mix of fun, inspiration, and knowledge as I share my favorite topics, adventures, and tips. Don’t forget to subscribe and join the journey!”.
A channel that does good on posting high quality content and with effort while still being consistent is “Striped” and “Ryan Trahan”.
Marketing
The best way to get people to click on your video is having a very good thumbnail that pops-out and will stand out from other videos. Adding onto that, Having your title descriptive, but short, along with your description optimized is crucial. A good title can be something like, “TOP 10 *BEST* ways to GAIN subscriptions”.
Making sure to have other social media, such as TikTok, linked to your channel is a very good way to promote and advertise things like giveaways to gain engagement. To link your socials to TikTok, go to Profile, then Edit Profile. Once you find YouTube, you can link it there. Additionally, cross-promoting content can broaden your reach and attract new viewers from different platforms. Engaging audiences on TikTok through creative videos and challenges related to your YouTube content can generate excitement and drive traffic to your channel.
Two people who do marketing well are “MrBeast” and “Ireland Boys Productions” because they make their thumbnail and title very appealing which attracts possible viewers and brings some in.
I would say YouTube is like fishing, trying to reel people in with bait (the title and thumbnail), and once you do, you earn a reward (the view). Just as a fisherman must understand the waters and the behavior of fish, a creator needs to know their audience’s preferences and interests.
Profitable Channel
Selling merch along with products while having a popular channel can get your brand name out and a big amount of sales. The best way to start selling merch is Shopify as a beginner because it is simple and self-explanatory.
In my opinion Shopify is the best because it’s literally a shopping website set up for you AND you can bring it to a shop in real life with their POS system. My favorite Shopify website are “Bruvi” and “Cowboy” because they display what Shopify can do very well and to prove its not just a basic website to make websites on.
If you want inspiration, go to “Shopify Best Stores” because you can find sites you like and take inspiration from them. If you’re able to turn on ads, then you can get profit from most views you receive. Additionally, explore the design elements that catch your attention, and consider how you can incorporate similar features into your own store. Engaging visuals, concise messaging, and a seamless user experience can significantly boost your sales and customer loyalty. Always remember to analyze performance metrics to optimize your strategy effectively.
The partner program and channel membership gives your fans perks who buy it which are made and customized by you. If users click “Join” on your channel, they can buy the membership subscription and receive the perks you made, it can feel rewarding.
Once you get popular you should try to be an influencer for brands which benefits you and the partnership. As a youtuber, you should try to have a partnership with a brand or other Youtubers. You could earn a lot of profit and gain even more viewers.
