- My play button finally got here,
so I'm going to unbox it for you so you can know
what to expect when you get yours.
We're starting right now.
I finally got this is in the mail, thank you very much
if you've been a subscriber to the channel,
if you're a subscriber right now
or if you are watching this video right now and subscribing,
thank you for being a part of this.
Like I said in the beginning of this video,
I'm going to unbox it for you so you can see
what to expect when yours comes.
After that, I'm also going to share some tips
on how you can also get 100,000 subscribers on your channel.
For this, we're gonna have to head into the other room.
Let's go.
When your play button arrives, its going to arrive in a box
that looks like this.
Its going to be wrapped in this plastic stuff.
Just like anybody else, we wanna get this off
as fast as possible so that we can get to the inside
and look at the good stuff.
Okay, that's gone, now let's get to the good stuff.
Once the box is unwrapped, then of course you get
that cool YouTube thing.
It's a really nice box, so it's great for an award
or gift or whatever.
They did a fantastic job on this.
It feels nice and sturdy.
It's just awesome.
Then here we go for the reveal.
You get this nice letter, it's a personalized letter
from the CEO of YouTube.
I'll bring that up close to the screen
so you can read that there if you would like.
Basically it's a congratulatory thing.
Let's get past this part too.
I want to get into the actual button,
I wanna see this thing.
Basically this is just a congratulatory letter
saying that you have done a fantastic job
by reaching the 100,000th subscriber milestone.
Now for the big reveal.
I've been waiting to see this for a really long time
so I'm really excited for this.
As we take this off, look at that.
Glorious!
We are going to take that off.
Once you remove that foam, then you have more foam in here
that this is actually shipped in.
We're going to take this out of the thing here,
see if there's anything else
and it doesn't look like there is anything else.
We are going to unwrap this
and then there is the official YouTube reward.
Congratulations on passing the 100,000 subscribers
on YouTube.
Looks beautiful.
Its not that heavy, it's kind of lightweight,
but it looks fantastic.
The overall presentation that they did here
was absolutely, just gorgeous.
It's fantastic, a fantastic job.
I'm excited to have this.
Now the fun part is trying to figure out
where to actually put this in my set.
Now how this whole thing works is once you cross
100,000 subscribers, you're gonna get a little notification
inside of your creator studio admin.
That notification is going to tell you
that you have qualified for the reward
and that you need to go and fill out a form
in order to receive it.
Once you fill out that form and you get everything
taken care of there, it takes about a long time.
It's like six to eight weeks for you to actually get it
from the time that they send you that notification.
That notification took a month or maybe six weeks
in order for that to even come in.
Once you get that notification,
you get all that stuff filled out,
and you wait that six to eight weeks
to actually receive it, it's a fantastic feeling.
For that feeling, I do just wanna jump in really quick again
and say thank you so much if you've been a part
of my channel for any amount of time,
even if it's just starting with this video,
thank you so much for being a part of this community,
being a part of the channel, supporting me
with what it is that I do to help you.
As a side note, I'm not really sure where I'm gonna put
this thing yet.
Its back over here as you can see.
Now I'm going to tell you some tips
that you can keep in mind for how you can get
100,000 subscribers on your channel if you're not there yet.
Number one: thumbnails are extremely important.
You have to spend time to make quality thumbnails.
If nobody's clicking on your stuff,
nobody's gonna know how good your videos are,
nobody's gonna be able to subscribe to your channel
because nobody's clicking on anything
and you're not generating any views.
Titles, also extremely important.
If you're not making good titles, again,
people are gonna be less likely to click on your stuff.
If you're not making excellent titles,
you're in that situation again to where
you might have the best videos in the world,
but if you're not generating or making
those things interesting for people to click on,
nobody's ever gonna know.
You also wanna make sure that you're doing as much community
involvement as humanly possible.
As your channel grows, it gets increasingly more difficult,
but do what you can.
Because it's those people, all of those people
down in your comments section,
that are talking to you in your comments,
that are sharing your videos,
that are liking your videos,
that are putting them out on Twitter and Facebook
and all of that stuff.
Without that community side of things,
it makes this pretty hollow.
Another trip is to try and add value
in any way that you possibly can.
By value, I mean if you're making people laugh,
you're adding value.
If you're showing people how to do things,
you're adding value.
If you're helping people understand a difficult concept,
you're adding value.
If you're showing people things out of their favorite movies
that they've never seen before to where they watch it
and they're like oh, I never even noticed that before,
you're adding value.
Just find something to make sure that you're adding value
to the people that are watching your content.
Super important.
You've heard it before: be consistent.
Another thing that is really helpful
is to make sure that you are using the platform correctly.
Go into your analytics.
Make sure people are responding to your stuff
the way that you think they are.
Make sure that you're using all of the features
that YouTube provides to you
because if you're not using those features,
you could be missing out on a lot of traffic.
That includes your channel key words, playlists,
the ads that YouTube lets you use, all of that stuff.
Use everything, it's what it's there for.
You also want to make sure that you're educating yourself
as much as possible.
Go through the YouTube creator academy.
I'll put a link to that down in the description below
and make sure that you are up to speed
on what is actually going on on YouTube,
how they expect you to use the platform.
Knowledge is power, and taking action on that knowledge
can get you really far here on YouTube.
Another tip is to try to be different.
Being unique can really help you stand out
because if you're trying to do all these things
like all these other creators,
then you end up being invisible
and you don't really stand out.
You might get views and things like that,
and you might get bumps in channel growth
and all that stuff, but in order
to make something really solid, be unique.
Another tip is to keep creating.
The more that you do stuff with anything in life,
the more that we do stuff, the better we get at it.
Let's say that you are a creator that uses scripts
in your videos.
In that case, when you are reading your scripts,
how you're reading them now compared to how you're going
to be reading them six months from now
is gonna be completely different
because your brain is going to learn different things
that are gonna help you get through
that script reading easier and in a more natural way.
Or you'll end up doing what I did
which is just ditching the scripts
and going with bullet points.
In order to know that that's right for you,
you have to practice and go through those different things
and get through those different learning curves
in order to make sure that you are doing the thing
in the best way that works for you.
Another tip is to make sure that you're using tools.
TubeBuddy: if you're a YouTube content creator
and you're not using TubeBuddy, you're crazy.
You're missing out on so much.
Morningfame: if you're a content creator
and you're not using Morningfame,
you're missing out on so much.
Use the creator studio app on your phone
so that you can make sure you're keeping up
with comments and stuff like that on the go
as much as you can.
I have a bunch of tool videos.
I'll actually link to one right here.
There's a bunch of tools videos that I have,
make sure that you're using all this stuff,
because it really helps in organization
and in creation and all of that stuff.
It really makes a difference.
I also wanna say again that I did make
that other video here.
Its just a longer video on how I got 100,000 subscribers.
If you are interested in that particular topic,
definitely head over there and check it out.
I've even got some sentimental stuff in there
that you might enjoy, or you might not.
Again, I wanna say thanks again for making this possible.
This has been an awesome thing for me.
This whole YouTube thing has just been an awesome,
life-changing thing for me.
I really hope that everybody that's watching this video,
I really hope that you get to experience something similar
to this, because it's absolutely amazing.
Just keep putting in the work, keep doing your thing,
and make it happen.
