- I'm going to tell you how to be confident on YouTube
so you can get more subscribers.
And we're starting right now.
(hip hop music)
What is going on?
My name is Nick, welcome to another video.
If this is your first time here, and you want to
know how to grow your channel,
make videos, and all types of other YouTube related stuff,
start now by subscribing and clicking the bell
so you don't miss anything.
Okay, I'm gonna break this down into two different parts,
first part is how to be confident on YouTube as far
as the camera is concerned, or being on camera is concerned.
In the second part, which is most likely gonna be the
most valuable to you, is some tricks that you can use to
actually show your confidence on YouTube.
And real quick before we get into it,
if you are somebody who is already confident on YouTube and
you want to share some of your tips and tricks,
let me know down in the comments.
Okay, the first thing that you want to do to be confident
on YouTube, is you wanna get ready before you shoot.
I'm talking stretch your vocal cords.
Ahhhhhhohhhhhahhhh.
Do mouth exercises to get your mouth nice and warmed up
and ready to blab.
(hip hop music)
And that also includes exercising your tongue as well,
but I'm not gonna show you that one because,
you know, it's probably not something that you wanna
sit there and look at for a few seconds.
But the overall idea here, is that you want to get used
to using your face, you want to get used to your expressions
that are coming across on your face,
and you want to get used to basically having your face
warmed up and ready to roll so that you don't feel all
stiff, and you're not messing up your words a lot
and things like that.
It's really helpful for bring confident on camera.
Number two.
Use your body and be mindful of your body language.
The best way that I can sum this one up is,
consider yourself if you've had a bad day,
everything just went horrible, and you're just kind of
roughing it and you're doing everything you can just to
get home, just to kind of make it through the day,
just to get that shower before you can make it to bed.
How do you feel?
Or more importantly, what is your body acting like?
Most likely, you're probably slunched over a bit,
you're tone is probably really low,
you're head maybe is hung low a little bit because
you know, you feel defeated.
But if you've had an awesome day,
how do you feel then?
What does your body language look like after
you've had an awesome day?
Everything just went awesome.
YouTube are on top of the world.
What does that look like, or more importantly,
what does that feel like inside of your body?
Most likely, in that case, you're going to communicate
a little bit more confidently.
You're gonna be standing up more straight.
You're shoulders are gonna be back,
your head is gonna be a little bit higher and
overall your body is going to be a lot more loose
because you are winning and you know it.
Clap your hands.
(hands clapping)
The big idea here is basically,
you want to take all of those things from the awesome day,
you wanna stand up straight, you wanna put your head up
you wanna communicate confidently into the camera.
When you do all these things,
one, you're gonna feel more confident.
And two, you're gonna come across on the camera
a lot more confident as well.
Number three, which is the most important in my opinion,
is to be confident in the editing process itself.
We all make mistakes, that's part of creating content.
We all make mistakes, we all jumble our words up
from time to time, we all say things that we think,
'Why did I even say that'?
But, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter.
Because anything that you don't like, you can edit out
or you can just reshoot it all and it doesn't even matter
because nobody's gonna see it except for you.
Now for the stuff that's really going to
make a big difference.
It's important that you are mindful when you are creating
your content.
That you are mindful of the language that you are using.
(foreign language)
Do you speak english?
I'm not talking about the actual language
of the language that you use,
I'm talking about how you communicate.
The confidence that you communicate through the
language that you are using in your videos.
As an example, instead of saying,
I'm going to try to upload every Tuesday and Thursday,
make a statement, make a stand and say,
I upload every Tuesday and Thursday.
This also applies to anything about your content.
Instead of saying, well you know, I'm busy with school
right now so I'm gonna try to get videos up, you know,
when I can.
Instead of saying stuff like that,
make the commitment.
And if you're not putting up videos on that regular basis,
if school does take over your life or whatever,
obviously schools more important, so it's not that big of
a deal that you made that statement in the first place.
I'm not saying to lie, but the idea here is that you don't
want to be trying, you want to be doing and the
people that are gonna subscribe to your channel they
want to know that they can count on you for the content.
They, if you tell somebody hey,
I'm going to try to upload every x and x,
then people are going to say, 'Well then why should I
subscribe when this person doesn't even know
if they will be uploading or not'?
Me personally, I've never subscribed to a channel that says
that they are ever gonna try to upload videos.
It doesn't even make sense.
It's also important that you stop apologizing.
When you make a video, and you start the video out with,
'Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't made a video
in x amount of time,
you know, I've been busy with this and busy with that'.
Most of the people that are watching that video are not
subscribed to you in the first place, or maybe it's the
first time that they've seen any of your videos or
something like that, so you're speaking to people and you
are apologizing to people that don't
know anything about you.
What does that say about the confidence of your channel
as far as generating subscribers are concerned?
Here's and exercise that I want you to do that can make
a humongous difference on how people perceive your channel,
which can also make a humongous difference on the
amount of subscribers and views that you generate.
In this exercise, I want you to imagine that
you already have success here on YouTube.
I want you to imagine what that looks like to you,
not just in subscriber numbers, but I want you
to imagine how you would be presenting your content.
I want you to imagine what your content would look like
what your channel page would look like.
I want you to imagine everything about if you were
to reach the success that you desire here on YouTube,
I want you to imagine what that would look like,
how you would feel.
How you would present on the camera, what your
camera optics would look like, what everything it is
that you are doing, how you would to everything.
I want you to imagine that and then what I want you to do,
is the next video that you upload, take all of that
and actually make that happen.
Be that person now
while you are trying to grow your channel
and people are going to respond to that.
For me personally, anybody that's been watching my channel
recently, you know that I've had a decent amount of
growth on my channel and things really started to take off
for me when I stopped trying to do things the way
I thought they should be done.
And I went through that exercise with myself and I said
you know, okay, well if I'm going to do things.
I'm going to try to grow this channel to a certain point.
When everything's the way that I want it to be,
what's it gonna look like?
When I did that, and then I started applying all
of that stuff to the way I present my content, the way
everything looks and all that stuff.
When I started doing that, that's when things really started
working out well for me.
And because of that, I encourage you to at least give
it a shot and put it into practice.
If you don't know what that looks like now,
just keep working through it you know,
write down ideas.
Okay, when I get my channel to a certain point,
this is what it's gonna look like,
this is what I'm gonna do, this is the kind of content I'm
gonna make and things like that.
Go ahead and start formulating that now so
that you can start doing all of that right now.
Now in addition to everything that I've talked about here
I also put a playlist together,
