- I'm going to tell you 10 YouTube tips
that every beginner needs to know.
And we're starting right now.
What is going on?
My name is Nick and if this is your first time here,
make sure to hit that little subscribe button down there
because I give all types of useful YouTube tips and advice
along with video tips and advice.
And from time to time I even give away some free stuff.
Oh my god, did he just say free stuff?
Yep, sho' did.
If you are a beginner here on YouTube
and you are just getting started,
let me know down in the comments,
things that you might be struggling with,
things that you're having difficulty with
while getting started here on YouTube,
so I can make a video about it in the future.
Now with all of that out of the way,
the first tip that I have for you is,
quality counts.
What do I mean by that?
Your video quality, your audio quality.
The quality of the actual content
that you are sharing on your channel.
As well as how your channel graphics and your thumbnails
and all that stuff looks.
All of this stuff comes into play and makes people decide
on if you have a channel worth subscribing to or not.
So if you can, make sure that you up the quality
of what it is that you're working on.
I have other videos on this channel on how to do that.
So if you are not sure on how to do that,
then make sure that you go
check out some of the other videos
about how to make videos more professional
and things like that.
And of course I'll put some recommended links to some videos
that you should be watching to improve your quality
down in the description below.
The main reason that you want your quality
to be as high is it can,
is not necessarily so that you
can have a professional-looking video,
but more so so that people on the other end,
the people that are watching your videos
will take your videos and the stuff
that you're making more seriously.
And if your quality is high,
then you have a better chance of other people
wanting to collaborate with you ,
and other people wanting to work with you,
and other people wanting to share whatever message
it is that you're trying to spread.
I don't make the rules.
But unfortunately it seems that
that's just the way that it works.
And that will get you more subscribers and more views
and get more people interested
in what it is that you are doing.
Two, the time that you spend on this stuff matters,
so make it count.
What I mean by that is, keep track of the time
it takes you to record your videos.
Keep track of the time that it takes
to set up to record your videos.
Keep track of the time that it takes you to edit your videos
and find all the additional footage or photos that you need,
and to write music tracks and so on.
Because it's extremely important to make sure
that you are doing something or that you are
working on something that's sustainable.
Let me give you an example.
In the last two days, I've pumped out eight videos
for this channel in the amount of time it takes me
to do one video for my other channel.
The reason for that is because the information
that I share here on this channel, it's all inside of here.
Right, it all comes from experience
and things that I've done or, you know,
projects that I've worked on or whatever.
So this channel, all the information for it,
is inside of here.
All our questions however,
the information for that channel,
I actually have to go and hunt it down.
If you're not familiar with all our questions,
I'll put a link to that in the description down below.
But with that channel, I have to go and actually
hunt down the information.
Now I'm not saying that I don't love
making videos on that channel, I do.
I'm just saying that these videos come out a lot faster.
I can make a lot more videos here on this channel.
I can get a lot more videos up on YouTube
in a lot less time because I'm a one-man show.
You know I don't have a team of working on this stuff.
So I can do a lot more content on this channel,
compared to the amount of time that it takes me
to put out content on the other channel.
If you are a subscriber of All Our Questions,
don't worry, I'm not abandoning that channel.
All I'm saying is that I can make a lot more videos
for this channel faster in the amount of time
that it takes me to do just one video for that channel.
Number three.
If you're just starting out with all of this YouTube stuff,
don't worry, it gets easier and it gets faster.
What do I mean by that?
Okay, right now when you are putting a video together,
you know in a lot of cases because of the comments
that I get on my videos,
people are saying that they have trouble
coming up with a video idea.
They have trouble editing their videos,
they have trouble figuring out how to actually structure
their project files, you know when they're actually editing
their videos together and things like that.
Because of that, the process takes longer than it should.
As you develop your work process,
as you find ways to make everything
a little bit more efficient,
your scripting process is going to get faster,
your video editing process is going to get faster.
You're going to come up with ideas faster as you
learn how to research to find out what people
are actually looking for.
All of that stuff is going to happen faster for you
as you make more videos because you're going
to streamline your process.
You're going to learn what works, what doesn't,
how to be more efficient.
You know, things that are costing you time
that you shouldn't be spending time on.
All of that stuff is going to make that part of it faster
and easier for you.
In addition to that it's going to be easier
to work with other people because people are more likely to
collaborate with you if you have a catalog of videos
that are getting views and they can check out the quality
and the consistency of what it is that you're doing.
In fact, if you follow the tip number one about quality,
then chances are in a very short time,
people are actually going to be getting touch with you,
wanting to collaborate with you.
So that makes everything a lot easier.
So rest assured that as you grow your channel,
things are going to get easier for you.
The process is going to get faster for you.
So just hang in there, keep making videos,
focus on your quality, keep track of what it is
that you're doing and things will get
faster and easier for you.
I promise.
Number four.
If you're not making videos for the sake of going viral,
then the best foundation that you can lay for your channel
is making a channel that actually helps people.
Help them learn how to put on makeup.
Help them learn how to make stuff at home.
Help them learn how to cook.
If you're making gaming videos,
you can make videos that help people get past certain parts
that you may have struggled with in the past.
Even if you're making fact videos or videos like that.
Or comedy.
You're helping lighten the mood of someone.
So you are contributing.
Think of your viewer first.
If you're making helpful content that helps your viewer
in some way, then you're going to make a really solid
foundation for your channel here on YouTube.
Five.
Researching your videos is going to help you grow faster.
Researching the topics that people are looking for
and having a channel that is interesting,
is going to help you grow faster.
Because, if you're making videos that people are looking for
then people are naturally going to find you easier
inside of YouTube Search and things like that,
as long as you are doing your video SEO correctly
and things like that.
And that brings us to number six.
You have to learn at the very least,
the very basics of video SEO.
What does that mean?
SEO is search engine optimization.
YouTube is a search engine.
So you have to learn what YouTube looks for
when it's trying to serve videos to people.
I'm talking tags, titles, descriptions,
to better your chances or ranking inside of YouTube Search
and Google Search.
All of this stuff, it might seem like a lot to take in,
you know when you're first starting out.
But once you get all of this stuff down,
this is what I was talking about a few tips ago
where I was talking about it gets easier.
Once you get all of this stuff down,
then everything starts rolling.
You're like, "Oh, okay well I understand this."
"So now when I write my descriptions I need to do this."
'Now when I tag my videos I need to do this."
So, you know, as you learn all of this stuff
it gets easier.
So don't be overwhelmed by the stuff
that I'm telling you right now.
But, learning how to do your keyword research
and how to title and tag and describe your videos,
is huge for getting found here on YouTube.
Seven.
You have to promote your content.
Look, if you're making videos just for the sake of,
hey, I love making videos,
I love just putting videos out there, and I don't care
if anybody watches them.
Well you know, that's fine, you can do that.
However, if you want a larger audience for your videos,
then you have to do the research for them.
You have to optimize them for search and
you need to promote your videos because
these are the ways that you get your videos
in front of other people.
If you're new to YouTube and you want to use YouTube
to promote your brand or your product
or for some other professional reason,
in that case it's extremely important,
it's even more important for you to learn
how to do this stuff and to promote your videos.
Because that is how you're going to get your videos
in front of people, unless you're running at.
Whew, that just dragged on for a little bit, didn't it?
Whew, speed that up a little bit.
Number eight, it's best to have a niche or some type of
specialty or a specific narrow topic
that you talk about on your channel.
Now a lot of new YouTubers will say,
"Hey guys I'm doing all type of different things
"on my channel."
'I'm doing reviews, I'm doing gaming,
"I'm doing YouTube tips, I'm doing makeup,
"I'm doing all of this different stuff."
And because of that, when people go to their channels,
they don't know what's really going on.
You know if I go to your channel to watch a GTA video,
and then the next video that I watch of yours
is a makeup video, or you know,
a how to build cabinet video,
well I'm probably going to undo my subscription
because I came to your channel for gaming videos.
For example, on this channel you know for a fact
if you come to this channel you're getting YouTube tips,
you're getting video tips, you're getting a tip
that has to do with some type of content creation.
You know that's going to happen so that's my narrow focus,
is basically YouTube tips, video tips,
and tips on creating content in general.
But all I'm saying is if you narrow down
the topic that you're talking about,
then it gives people a specific purpose for your channel
and they're ore likely to stick around.
Nine.
Constantly continuing your education for YouTube.
Okay, here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to put a link down in the description
to a page on Tuber tools,
and it's going to be a page that's going to list
a bunch of YouTube educators.
So you can go to that page and you can see
the people that I recommend that you learn from.
People that have experience on YouTube.
Actual credible experience here on YouTube.
Or they have credible experience on how to get exposure
or something like that.
I'm going to put that link down in the description below.
So make sure you check it out,
click on every single on of their channels,
and make sure that you subscribe.
And when the video comes up in your feed,
make sure that you watch it.
Because these are the people that you need to learn from.
These are the people that are going to help you grow,
and help you advance, and help you excel here on YouTube.
In addition to me of course.
10.
Sub-for-sub, comment spamming, all of those tricks,
they don't work.
You have to put in the work on YouTube if you want
to grow an audience, if you want to get people
watching your videos,
if you want to share your content with the world,
you got to put in the work.
You have to take the time to learn the stuff.
You can to take the time to learn to use your equipment.
You have to take the time to learn
how to promote you videos.
You have to take the time to learn how to
get your videos ranked in the search engine.
You have to take the time to learn the stuff,
put in the work and I promise you
that it will pay off for you.
If you know other YouTubers that are just starting out,
share this video with them.
Because it's helpful information,
it's going to help them grow their channels,
it's going to give them some stuff that they need
to keep in mind.
If it's a family member, if it's a friend.
If it's somebody else that you et on the internet.
Another YouTuber that you've worked with.
Share this video with them because this is
important information that people
just starting out on YouTube really need to know.
