Pick A Niche
It is important to know what you want to talk about and love it enough to want to talk about every tiny detail about that topic…. because you will need to! Once you know the niche you want to talk about you can then research the existing video creators on the platform to learn the style, branding and content length needed to match the market expectations. Once you know what if needs to look and sound like you can start cranking out evergreen FAQs videos to get your name known in the niche itself.
Consistency
Being consistent with branding, style and content topics helps people get used to who you are and when you upload. You want people to get so used to their routine that they can integrate it into their own daily routine just like their favourite tv show and sports team.
Video Optimization
You should always think about how a video or any piece of content is going to be found in search. When writing a video title, description and tags you need to be thinking keywords and search engine optimization.
Keep Learning and Improving
You can always improve, you can always learn to get better. Take some time out of your schedule to look at other YouTube channels in your niche. What do you do that would help your videos improve? Is their anything you could do better with your own content? Is your audio the best it could be? Do you need to up your camera game? Is your lighting crisp and clean? Alternatively, maybe you need to level up your own knowledge of your niche and its time to pick up a book and educate yourself further into the topic.
