What advice would you give to the average YouTuber out there who's just really looking
to grow and improve and do better? What just general suggestions would you give to that
person?
You know nowadays, still collaborations do a lot of benefit to your channel because you
cross over audiences, but another thing too is keep creating the content you wanna create.
If after a while you kinda get tired of it and feel it's not progressing you forward
then change it up, but don't ever talk yourself out of it. If you believe in one particular
project you're doing, keep doing it and doing it and doing it and eventually someone's going
to start watching and it'll take off from there.
Don't give up. Ya know, I've been doing for almost 3 years now. You just gotta keep grinding
it out. I think persistence pays off. Try not to go off onto too many different styles
of content. I think a lot of people have that problem where they try to do a vlog and then
the next video will be a comedy and the next will be about makeup. You gotta stick with
a certain niche and then so when people subscribe they're not like, "This isn't what I subscribed
to you for."
I think it's actually cool to experiment starting out, but if people subscribe to a channel
because it's doing music parody videos and you start uploading book reviews, they'll
be like "what's going on?" So when someone's just starting out they should create a channel
and honestly do whatever because at that level you can do whatever.
I think the biggest thing is find your voice. There's obviously a lot of creators and newer
ones coming up every single day. So, I think you have to find the unique voice that makes
you stand out that makes a person remember you, ya know? As you know with being on youtube,
sometimes the subscriber feed doesn't work, sometimes you have different changes and thing
like that and that's gonna happen. That's par for the course, but I think if people
remember you and remember to come back to you, you can gain the audience that can know
the keep watching without worrying about those specific ways of doing it all the time.
You know, just have fun and be yourself. I see so many people out there who are trying
to be a character or trying to like things that they're not into and I think the most
important thing is to know what you like and just talk about that because there is a huge
variety of people out there that wanna see that.
Uh, short and engaging and quick. You know there's some people who you can go out and
watch twenty minutes of them and they're engaging and i'm certainly not. If i'm saying something
more than a couple of sentences i'm sure I lose people's interest. So really make sure
you cut out all the stuff that doesn't have to be in the video and just make it really
quick, punchy, and engaging.
Viewers, they want engagement. They wanna ask you questions or they wanna participate
in the community and if you have participation, you should definitely be responding to as
many questions as possible.
Go out there and really study what you're trying to rank, what you're looking for and
then look at those videos that are successful and then try to make your video ... now i'm
not saying exactly like it, but use those successful tips that they used to get there
in your own videos to help grow.
Look at how other people have been successful in the past and what it took them to get to
where they are and then also really do what you love, because no matter how far you go
-- if you don't like what you're doing, then at some point you'll get discouraged and the
whole operation will fall to pieces. So if you really love what you're doing, find the
way to make that work.
Coming to events like this, meeting people. Uh, interacting on twitter and things like
that. Um, just connecting with other people, because as it's grown, as it's become just
this massive entity, there's sorta this need to know people in a way. And it's also just
great to make friends. Some of my friends i've made through this website and ya know
it's meeting people, it's creating things with people who are like-minded with you.
That's actually how I found out about you, because you did a collaboration with Ashley
and my wife and I saw it and we were like, "Oh, let's check out his channel!"
Find the people that you love and find a way to connect with them. But also do not aim
way too high and go for someone who is intermediate. So if you see someone that you love that is
like 17,000 or 18,000 subscribers, they're more accessible than the really big people.
So try to connect with those people and that way you will be on a upward slope versus going
way too high and that person is like "I can't answer that, there's way too many people."
Make videos that you want to watch; not that your audience necessarily wants to watch.
Because if you're not making videos that you enjoy, it really shows. Maybe making a prank
might get you a lot of views on YouTube, but if you're not good at doing that or if you
don't like making those type of videos, you're just doing it for the views, your audience
will tell that you're not fully into it and it's jut not worth it.
Shoot every day and shoot constantly. Honestly, that's what you have to do. I've had three
channels and the first two, nothing happened with them. So it's not going to happen right
away. But I was constantly shooting and learning from it and then I established my style from
that.
