It is very easy to start a YouTube Channel and start uploading videos, for that, you just need a PC or Mobile Phone and an Internet connection. But for uploading a single video, you must consider a lot of things. If you want to be a successful YouTuber, you should follow all the YouTube terms and condition.
Here, I am going to share some of the major points to follow to be a successful YouTuber, some of the points you should follow are:
1. Regular Uploads
If you want to be a successful YouTuber, you should upload videos regularly in your YouTube Channel. You must not let your channel to run out of videos for your visitors. If you cannot upload videos regularly, your subscribers might go on unsubscribing your channel. If your channel is related to Technology, Programming or Tutorials, you need a lots of videos and series to fulfill the needs of visitors. These types of channel need both the quality and quantity videos. Or if your channel is related to entertainment, fun or music, you will need to upload regularly.
As there is a competition among the YouTubers to attract viewers and subscribers by providing quality videos regularly, your channel might lose the current position it has achieved if you do not upload regularly.
2. High Quality Videos
Whatever videos you upload into YouTube should be of high resolution and high quality. If you low quality videos, your viewers will no longer want to watch your low quality videos even if the video is good or helpful. Nobody want to watch low quality videos this time. If your video is in low resolution, your visitors will leave your video and jump to another one. So, always upload a high quality video regularly.
3. Focus on Post Topic
On your every videos, you should clearly focus on the topic on which you are going to make the video about. This point is very important for Tutorial, Tech and Programming YouTubers. They should try to explain the topic clearly and detailly in order to attract more permanent visitors of your channel.
4. Use of Music
Intro Music, Outro Music, Background Music, etc. plays a important role in making an attractive video. But while using such music in your videos, be sure what type of music you are using there. As per the rule of YouTube, you are not allowed to use any part of music downloaded from YouTube or Internet in your videos. Such music might be copyright protected music. If you use such music in your video, YouTube will automatically detect such them and mute those sections where the music is put. Or Your videos will be deleted if you use copyright music. This is a strict rule you have to follow on your every video.
Some YouTubers change the pitch and speed of such music and use it in their videos. Such modified music cannot be easily detected by YouTube System. If the creator of the music manually find their song used in your video without permission, you might get a copyright strike on your channel. Getting three strikes in three month lead to termination of your YouTube channel.
So, to avoid this, you should be very careful in choosing a music for your videos weather the music is a copyright protected music or not. To use such music, you need to get a permission from The Creator and Publisher of the song/ music. Or, there are lot of No Copyright and Free Music available on YouTube, choose any one of them and use it in your videos.
5. Original, Unique and Creative Content
This is a most important thing that every blogger, YouTuber, writer, creator, etc. should follow. Every videos you upload in your channel must be your creative content and unique one. Downloading and Re-uploading from other successful YouTubers and Channels and uploading them in your channel may lead to termination of your channel. Or if you try to copy the act and style of presenting videos of popular YouTubers, it is also might be called copy. Do not do that. Always try to be creative and unique.
6. Channel Art and Channel Logo
Channel Art and Channel Logo is very important to attract more visitors, subscribers and for various YouTube verification. Users subscribe more to the creators with good channel logo and cover than a channel with no such things. Logo and Channel art is too important for getting custom YouTube Channel URL and getting a verification badge for your channel. If your channel is by your Name, you can use your photo logo and channel art. Or if your channel name is not your name or it is your company name, use your company logo and cover photo.
7. Use of Simple, Polite Words and Sentences
Always use simple words and sentences in your videos. Speak politely and clearly so that all your videos so that your videos would be easily understood by your regular and future subscribers. Don't use bad and curse words to describe anyone or anything in your videos. Using too much bad words in your video might cause your video get age restricted and you won't be able to monetize that video. So, do simple, make simple.
8. Channel Name and Video Title
You should set your channel name to easy, short, suitable and which can be easily remembered. This is useful when someone tries to search your channel. And it will be good that if your channel name matches with your video types. Also set a video title to short, easy and actually the point of the video. Always try to make the video name simple.
For example: suppose there are two same videos, "Funny Video 2019: Must Watch" and "FuNNy viDeO?? ???? 2019??, vERy fuNNy muSt watch????????", which one is probable to be watch, surely first one.
9. Category of your videos
If you have lots of videos related to same category or if you have any course or tutorial in your channel, you should put them in a playlist so that your new visitor or subscriber can find all the video related to a category at one place.
10. Content Language
It really matters in which language you are creating your videos and can your viewers understand your videos in that language. So, be careful to use only that language that most/all of your regular viewers can understand. If your video is related to tech or programming, people from around the world may come to see your video, so, for making them all able to understand your video, make sure to use English Language or at least subtitles.
11. Your Content Type
This is a serious topic to consider what type of contents you are going to upload on your channel. If your videos go against the YouTube Terms and Conditions, it might get deleted and if your all videos on your channel are of same category, your channel might terminated. So, if you want your channel to last long on YouTube, always follow the terms and conditions. Do not upload any videos related to hacking, pornography, drugs, fake news or dangerous weapons, smuggling, kidnapping or murder. If YouTube team find these types of videos in your channel, they will immediately terminate your channel. And you cannot monetize your channel with AdSense.
12. Service motive rather than profit motive
After your channel monetization is approved, you can earn whenever someone watches or clicks on Google Ads on your videos. In order to be a successful YouTuber, focus on your content rather than the ad revenue. You should upload quality videos regularly rather than uploading useless videos for ads and views. If you upload good quality and useful videos, you can achieve good position YouTube as well as earn as well. So, always try to upload videos to provide help or entertainment than for views and revenue.
