How To Become Sucessful on YouTube

When starting your YouTube Channel, try to think of a niche that isn't too over-saturated to prevent competition with too many channels. After choosing a niche, try to focus on that niche only, because if you try to make content that spread over many niche, your viewers will be confuse about what you're uploading and your uploading schedule, meaning less people will tune in regularly to watch your content. Focusing on niche help the the viewers know more about what your channel is about helping you get more subscribers and views on all of your videos. To conclude, only upload content focusing on one or maybe two niche and remember, if you trying to reach out to everyone, you are reaching out to no one.

If you know about the YouTube algorithm, you will know that YouTube have always favored longer videos (longer than 10 minutes to be exact). Why? The longer the the videos, the more advertisement can be shown while the video is playing. Not only longer videos bring more profit to YouTube but to you too, because YouTube pays you 45% of the income from the video, not a fixed amount.. But longer video aren't always more effective since viewers can you don't necessary have to make your content long because there's still video that only last 3 to 5 minutes but still get millions of views, one example of these is animation from the channel called Domics. So to conclude, longer video are usually more effective but it not really necessary for a successful channel.

"Wait, clickbait? I thought you said to make high quality contents?" you might said.

If you want your video to have many views, then create a title that viewers will want and likely to click on, but the title must not be misleading and the content must be true to what the title is saying or not your channel reputation will be ruined and nobody will want to watch video you post in the future. The thumbnail must be like the testimonial for the video to prove that the content in the video is true and not a lie.

Uploading frequently will give you 2 benefits, you have more videos, which meaning more money maker and your viewers can stay entertain or your channel. And if you upload sticking to a schedule, that is even better because your viewers can know when will a video will be release, meaning your video is more likely to be watch. Even if you're just starting out, uploading frequently is very important because viewers and subscribers can know that you're keen on making videos and not dropping it off after a month or two. Make sure that all of your videos are all high quality and not only your main series, if you're busy then upload some shorter or easier to make content to keep your viewers entertained.

YouTube is platform friendly for all ages, so if you upload contents that are inappropriate ( contents that violate one or more guidelines the YouTube's Community Guidelines ) you will get punish by YouTube.

After the punishment, your channel's reputation reduce and YouTube will keep an eye on your channel for a while.

There's two types of contents, Evergreen Contents and Skyscraper Contents. Evergreen Contents are contents that stay interesting and entertaining over the a long period of time or sometime, forever. Skyscraper Contents is like the opposite of Evergreen Contents, instead being entertaining for a long time, Skyscraper Contents only stay interesting for a short amount of time. Skyscraper Contents are basically viral and trend contents, some examples of the Skyscraper Contents are the Fidget Spinner videos, Bottle Flip videos, etc. Skyscraper Contents may easily bring you income for a short period of time but after that it would bring you very little to no income after that. But, Evergreen Contents will have lower traffic at first but it will bring you income over a long period of time. So if you want the most money from your work and for a long time, then create Evergreen Contents, it will be hard when you started but it will be easier after a while.
