1, Know your target market If you don’t know who your channel will
appeal to it will be difficult to create the right content.
If you don’t have the right content you’ll get very few viewers and subscribers.
Here are some of the ways to find your target market
- Visit social media sites where your audience hangs out and interact with them
- Visit YouTube channels that are related to your niche to see what topics are being
covered - Read the comments of related channels to
see what’s being discussed - Enter your main keyword in the Google or
YouTube search box to see what information people are seeking.
2.
Create attractive channel art Make it easy for first time viewers to understand
what your channel is all about when they first visit the channel home page.
Here are a few tips to get you started - Create an attractive channel banner that
represents your channel - Create a channel trailer that encapsulates
your channel content - Describe who your content is for on your
about page 3.
Correctly structure your YouTube Channel Organize the different videos on your channel
into playlists so people will keep watching more of your videos.
This will also satisfy YouTube’s wishes which is to keep people watching videos on
YouTube as long as possible.
Organize your playlists into sections on your channel home page.
This enables channel visitors to watch the videos that they are most interested in.
4.
Create videos with relevant content One of the easiest ways to discover the content
your target market is interested in, is to type your keyword into the Google or YouTube
search box.
You’ll then see a list of suggestions to create videos for.
Also look for questions that your target market is asking then answer them in a video.
If you are your own target market, think about the videos that you want to watch.
This is probably because you share the same thoughts as others who are on the same level.
5. Make engaging videos People have short attention spans so you have
to make your videos engaging if you want to keep them watching the video all the way through.
Here’s some tips to keep them engaged - Tell people what to expect at the beginning
of your video, then get straight into the meat of the content followed by a call to
action such as “please subscribe to my channel to receive more videos like this one every
week.”
- Avoid the fluff.
Make sure you provide high quality content so viewers will want to come back to your
channel every week to view the new content.
- Utilize graphics to enhance your video content.
Use b-roll footage to spice up your videos because nobody wants to watch a talking head
video for 10 minutes.
- Use end screens and annotations.
YouTube added these features to make it easy for viewers to subscribe to your channel or
be redirected to your landing page.
6.
Create engaging thumbnails A thumbnail picture is displayed on Google
and YouTube for every video you upload.
Avoid using the thumbnails that are auto-generated by YouTube.
Instead create your own custom thumbnail so it will stand out amongst all the other listings
in the search engines.
An easy way to make a unique thumbnail is to include a picture of your face.
7.
Promote your videos Extend the reach of your audience by promoting
your videos off YouTube.
Promote them using social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest.
Embed your video on your own website as well as Web 2.0 sites.
If you have some extra cash think about advertising your your video using adwords for video.
