7 Stellar Tips to Starting a Youtube Channel

February 1, 2019

Are you the next big YouTube star?

If you’re under thirty, you’ve probably had aspirations of becoming a content creator. It’s easy to plan to start a YouTube channel, but following through is a different story.

You’ll need to develop a combination of technical know-how, creativity, and charisma to make your channel rise above the rest.

Some things can’t be taught, but here 7 tips for starting a YouTube channel.

1. Get Some Good Equipment

First thing’s first, you’ll have to get yourself some decent equipment. You could probably get by using your smartphone, but most successful YouTubers will have a DSLR camera.

The camera is the first step, but you’ll need a tripod, lighting, hand-held stabilizers, and different lenses. Once you’ve got all of the hardware, you’ll need some editing software to chop up your footage.

2. Have a Niche

It’s important when coming up with the idea for your YouTube channel that you have a niche and stick to it. Are you going to review movies? React to other YouTube videos? Make short films? 

Create a voice and become popular by being good at one thing instead of trying to be a jack-of-all-trades.

3. Plan Your Posts

Sit down ahead of time and plan out your content. You’re going to start a successful YouTube channel, so you need to be calculated and smart.

If you’re doing a lot of talking, write down a script for yourself. You don’t have to follow everything you plan out but you should have a strong idea of what the video is before you work on it.

4. Don’t Waste Viewer’s Time

Cut all of the fat out of every post. It seems like a lot of work, but it’ll pay off when the views start piling up.

There’s nothing worse than clicking on a video to watch and having to sit through a bunch of useless content that isn’t what you thought you were getting.

Value the time of your viewers as much as you value your own.

5. Learn How to Edit

When you start a YouTube channel, you’ll purchase some editing software. Take your time learning how to edit your videos properly.

You could even start out with free software to learn with. As you gain more followers, you can take editing more seriously and purchase Final Cut Pro.

As you get better, your videos will get more flashy. Check out this free YouTube intro maker to create cool intros for your videos.

6. Optimize

To get viewers, especially at the beginning, you should have knowledge of current SEO practices. Having the right SEO descriptions for your videos will get the right viewers to your page.

Bringing in the right kind of audience to your page will immediately help you grow.

If you get the wrong audience, they won’t watch the videos and they won’t tell anyone to watch the videos. Things still go viral via word of mouth.

7. Engage with Viewers

Once you have strong viewership, take the time out of your day to engage with your audience. It’ll be appreciated and you’ll grow as a YouTube personality.

Starting a YouTube Channel Is Easy…

Keeping a YouTube channel is hard. It’s difficult to make a living with a YouTube channel, but you won’t know if you’re cut out for it until you try.

There are millions of YouTubers gunning for stardom. You should be starting a YouTube channel right now before it’s too late.
