How
To
Youtube
Hey do You wanna be crazy famous, on YouTube like Jake Paul, Vsauce and Dodie Clark?
Well last week I was at Summer In The City in London - a YouTube Gathering, and everyone was talking about the creator viewer
divide, like some kind of Donald Trump Wall between us so I thought I'd break down that wall...ow
ah cr*p
Explaination
NCS, the nonprofit who I did my body Image video with have asked me to teach you how
to, be a big famous YouTuber like me, oh
By the way guys please smash that like button if you've ever breathed! Make sure you stick around 'til the end as I'm doing
an exciting competition of you may be able to enter!
Big thumbs up please guys I wanna try and reach
10,000 Likes and if we do it might help fill the void in my soul...
Step One: Getting Started
So the first thing you've gotta do if you wanna be an Internationally famous YouTuber is you have got to
open a YouTube Account
You're gonna want to think of a brand name - something catchy, quirky or cute that generally reflects what you're going to be doing on your
YouTube Channel. It might be helpful to imagine that if you become successful in this, people are going to be calling you this name for
literally years and shouting at you in the street so make sure it's something that people
can say and remember easily and not something embarrassing...
Like for example
Luke Is Not Sexy?
Step Two: Ideas
Before you can even think of recording a
YouTube video you have to have an idea so sit down at your desk, your working desk, your writing Desk with your
little quill and start to hate yourself for your complete lack of creativity and then
Go to the YouTube homepage and steal someone else's idea
Seriously though, spend like an hour trying to write down ten ideas and maybe
one of them will not suck...one of them maybe, and that doesn't work just do a Q&A or try some American candy
Step Three: Equipment
Before you can film anything you're gonna want to make sure you have a camera and a microphone because if you don't
Also you might not believe this when you're first starting out but trust me
Sound is so much more important than video. Focus on saving up your money for a microphone first for whatever camera you just have lying
around like your Phone
Rather than dropping loads of money on a camera straight away. Microphones are generally a lot cheaper than cameras and people ears get a lot
more angry than their eyes when it comes to quality.
This for example is perfectly
okay to watch even though the video kinda sucks because the sound
is yummy
yeah I'm ok with this, Ican deal with this said the eye
But no amount of sexy camera is going to save this video, when the sound is
disgusting
Said The Ear
One of those is obviously worse, and the cameras in phones these days
are fantastic but the mics
generally suck
I put links and descriptions of pretty much every single piece of kit I've ever used down the description below, please check those
out they might be Useful to you. You are also gonna want to have some kind of editing software to remove the bits of your videos you don't
really want to share, for example
Hey guys so today I'm going to tell you about my Top 10 Favorite Cats *meows*
Oh, oh I hate myself so much
No one cares *sighs*
My first one is the Persian Blue! And through the magic of editing, that becomes
Hey guys so today I'm going to tell you about my top 10 favourite cats! *meows*
My First one is the Persian Blue! meow meow meow Persian Blue
Now nobody will know about your existential angst!
A good way to make your audience love and adore you is to
have relateable jokes in there such as 'Hey guys today I'm finally making a new video because I finally got out of bed'
Because I sometimes struggle to make myself get out of bed
LIKE
(Alarm) Wake up you're wasting your life, oh
(Alarm) Wake up you're wasting your life
Aw man I wish I could just lay in bed and go on Tumblr all day
LIKE
That's a Funny Tumble
*Laugh track*
Step Four: Recording
So after several days of putting it off due to low motivation or lack of any discernible skills
You should sit down or stand up, probably with your questions from Twitter or American Candy and get ready to record your first YouTube video!
*many awkward stutters and attempts at introducing his new YouTube channel*
And when you finished recording, get that video edited and get that baby ready to upload
*sings tune*
Step Five:Uploading
Uploading
Hit that upload button.. not in a... in a nice way and drag your finalised video into place to begin the upload
Make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi and not your phone data or you'll run out of phone data and you'll not have any left
to Tumblr with
That'd be bad
Step Six: Monetize
Once you become crazy internet famous like Dean from Jack and Dean
you're gonna be able to put adverts on your videos to earn that sweet
Sweet dollar. Think of it like YouTube throwing pennies at your face everytime
someone watches one of your videos. It's not much, but it'll definitely leave a dent in your bank account
As well as your face. At the end of the day, the money, the fame, that's really not
what YouTube is about. I can give you all these tips and advice but really Youtube's just about making great stuff. There is no secret
Because ultimately only good stuff does well on YouTube
*laughs*
Sorry I could not do that with a straight face, there is a secret and the secret is: Step Seven
Clickbait. Clickbait is the greatest invention of all time
All you've got to do to be big on youtube is to sell out and have a catchy title. It doesn't even have to be true!Just make it up! You slept in a
bit late? Title: I Nearly died from too much sleep! Someone bumps into you in the street
A stranger tried to beat me for no reason
( I Barely survived ) And the thing you had no idea about, I was I was using all the rules
Success against you for this entire video. Wanna do a video about how to make YouTube videos? How to YouTube
( Not Clickbait) It's so Easy!! Do a flashy
thumbnail, maybe put me in a bikini
that'll get some attention! Once we've got them there, over load them with something loud and obnoxious to get them excited!
Mention that something is happening at the end to keep them watching 'til the end of the video- Make sure you stick around til the end because I'm doing an exciting
competition that you may... Beg them for likes to make that sweet YouTube algorithm love you
By the way guys please smash that like button if you've ever breathed! It's all a game and you're playing it right now and that my
friends is how to YouTube.
