so recently we just crossed 50,000
subscribers here on YouTube so first of
all thank you and secondly here are our
five biggest lessons that you can apply
for your channel coming up
hey what's up guys Sean here Benji here
and this is video influencers help you
build your influence income and impact
with online video and on this channel we
put out weekly interviews and tips and
tricks videos just like this one so if
you're new consider subscribing right
now yes and we are so excited because we
got to 50,000 subscribers we're so
pumped and thank you for all your
support we want to share our 5 biggest
takeaways and lessons that we've learned
along the way so the first one is
clarity it's that if you try to reach
everybody you end up reaching nobody and
if you have a clear focus it's going to
be much easier for you to create content
to build your influence on your channel
yeah so definitely think about having a
focus niche you know for us we set out
saying this is going to be all about
online video it's not going to be about
cooking this isn't going to be about
travel vlogs this is going to be about
online video and one of the lessons
we've learned from over a hundred
interviews is that the most effective
channels are the most focused channels
absolutely this is why this phrase is so
important for us helping you build your
influence income and impact and
everything we do revolves around that
phrase and that's our focus so what is
your focus gonna be how are you going to
be clear in your content to help you do
the same thing now the second tip is
consistency and here's the thing we
really think that to succeed on YouTube
you've got to post at least once a week
and that's what we set out to do and
from that time no matter what we said
we've got to get at least one video up
per week absolutely and beyond
just connecting with your viewers
consistently every single week sometimes
every single day why it's so important
to be consistent is because you learn
something when you're consistent right
like all the experiences that you go
through consistently uploading you're
going to gain something some wisdom
that's going to help you improve your
content on your channel absolutely and
one of the interviews we did we learned
a cool phrase and we learned this that
along with consistency it's all about
consistent quality content you know it's
not just about being consistent but
always try to make your content better
we've learned a lot along the way and we
know that content matter
we want to bring you the best interviews
always try to be you know learning the
best tips and share them with you so
always be working on consistent quality
content lesson number three
collaboration since the beginning of our
experience on YouTube collaborations
really move the neddle more than anything
else for us we've interviewed other
youtubers friends of ours people we've
met along the way and they've been so
gracious to share their information
their experiences with us and that
collaboration has helped grow our
influence more than anything that we do
so when it comes to collaborations you
know it can kind of be discouraging and
sure we've had almost you know 100
interviews but there's probably been 200
or 300 or more than that people that
have said no or never responded to a
tweet or you know didn't reach back out
to us so we just want to encourage you
to keep trying to keep hustling and to
just invest to make it happen go to
youtube events look try to find other
youtubers in your city do whatever you
can because collaborations are super
powerful and the last thing I'll say
about collaborations that a lot of
people you know references people don't
want to collaborate with me I'm a new
youtuber I don't have any subscribers
keep in mind what value can you add to
other youtubers that is probably just as
important if not more important to the
youtuber that you want to collaborate
with so keep that in mind what kind of
value can you add to the other person
you're collaborating and their audience
now the fourth lesson we've learned is
community it's all about community it's
all about you and we want to shoot this
video because we are so thankful for you
you know there wouldn't be a video
influencers if it wasn't for you and we
never set out just to make videos we
wanted to build a community and a couple
tips on that is we've always tried to
have a question of the day we try to get
into the comments as much as we can
we've tried to make videos as we hear
you know your video ideas we try to turn
those into tips and strategy videos so
ask yourself what can you do on your
channel to cultivate community the thing
about building a community is it's what
you do after you upload the videos it's
the replying back to comments it's
adding value to people you know like in
the comments area it's
to do with your audience outside of the
video on social media you know like
tweeting back to people replying back to
comments on your Instagram and that's
what builds the relationships and more
importantly that's what builds the trust
to build the community and then number
five is courage I've heard it said that
you don't have to be great to start but
you have to start to be great and you
know when we are starting video
influencers we weren't sure anyone was
gonna care we weren't sure if we had the
time if it was gonna work we weren't
sure about all the details but the one
thing that we did do is start we stepped
out and so how can you be more
courageous how can you be more
courageous and sharing your voice and
being yourself and sharing your
authenticity with your community and why
this lesson is the most important one is
because the number one challenge that
people have when it comes to YouTube
starting a channel recording a video
uploading it to YouTube is fear fear of
judgment fear of the comments fear of
haters and that's why it's so important
to have courage to like you know be bold
be yourself and know and expect that
people aren't gonna agree with you you
know people will leave negative comments
people are gonna like maybe hate on you
that's part of YouTube I have not met a
youtuber that's successful that hasn't
dealt with that so be courageous put up
the videos and know that along the way
you're gonna get better you're gonna get
more comfortable and you're gonna live
up to your full potential and so we hope
that those five tips add value to you
and that you can apply them to your
channel and you know most of all we just
want to say thank you so much we're so
grateful that you are part of the video
