Since there’s no excellent information from my personal experience, I decided to look at what other YouTubers with more significant followings had to say about it.
The following is a summary of their advice and the original video of the strategies taken.
Start Before You’re Ready
Before you start analyzing your results, Sean recommends producing at least 35 films.
A decent number of videos is necessary to get the YouTube algorithm working for you. And, don’t worry if your first videos are terrible–they usually are! Just film them anyway and work on getting better as you go along.
Answer the “Who” and “What” Question
Whom do you want to reach out to, and what problem are you trying to address for them? For example, how will your channel help them solve their problems? Most people haven’t given these questions adequate consideration before uploading videos.
Don’t just think about yourself when creating content. Always put your audience first. They came to YouTube for a reason, so it’s up to you to provide them with what they want: entertainment or education.
Improve Your Skills
Think about a specific aim you want to obtain, and then consider what capacities you’ll need to develop to achieve it. You may, for example, take an online video production or editing course, work on structuring your videos so people will pay attention longer, or improve your thumbnail creation.
Study Successful Channels
Determine which channels are currently performing or have previously completed the tasks you want to achieve. Then study them. Please don’t imitate, but take inspiration from their success and apply it in your unique way.
Focus on Search-Based Content
Millions of people rely daily on YouTube as the second-largest search engine for help with their problems.
People will only know about your channel if you produce content that relates to what they’re already searching for. Keywords in your title, description, and tags should be relevant.
Commit — Don’t Dabble
If you don’t make a promise to get your first thousand subscribers, you’ll never reach that goal. With few exceptions, uploading one or two videos or producing content irregularly will not provide the desired results.
Make a promise to yourself to upload one or two videos each week. Getting results on YouTube is similar to getting them in the gym.
Expect That You Won’t See Results Immediately
It’s like being in charge of your garden when you launch your YouTube channel. It would be best to plant many seeds before allowing them to grow. If you are diligent and continue, you will be rewarded sooner or later.
The 1% Rule
Blake suggests that most websites have a one to two percent conversion rate. So, if you want 1,000 subscribers, you’ll need around 100,000 views.
Make 100 Crappy YouTube Videos
Before he reached his first 1,000 subscribers, Mr. Beast made 100 videos. He has over 46 million followers five years later.
His first one hundred videos were of average quality, at best. However, they taught him much about what content does well on YouTube and what doesn’t. With poor-quality videos, you might be lucky enough to experience success on YouTube.
