Stay tuned for Life hack #1 1.
Purpose When I started my youtube channel way back
in 2006 I would just upload videos every now and then.
This is because I didn’t clearly define the purpose of my channel.
As a result my channel received little or no views and subscribers.t was only when I
decided to use YouTube videos to generate leads to my web design business, that I received
an uptick in traffic.
2.
Passion My passion for creating videos kicked into
high gear when people started asking me how to use video marketing to promote their services
and products.
I get inspired and motivated when I can help people solve their problems.
As a result I began uploading tutorials and creating online courses related to video marketing.
3.
Belief When I first began my YouTube Channel it was
hard to believe that it would be successful, because I had no audience.
One of the keys to success was to find keywords that people were searching on in Google and
YouTube.
I would then create videos based around those keywords.
As more people discovered my videos based upon their searches in Google and YouTube
my audience growth increased.
People often give up when they don’t see immediate success.
I discovered that YouTube channel growth is slow at the beginning, but speeds up as your
videos gain traction in the search engines.
4.
Fear Fear leads to inaction.
One of the scariest things I had to overcome was appearing in front of a camera.
It initially made me very nervous as I stuttered to get my message out.
When I focused more on sharing the message that I wanted to get across to my audience
rather than worrying about what I look like or sound like, then my fears went away.
It also helped that I could edit out my mistakes before my video went public.
5.
Perfection Striving for perfection doesn’t produce
immediate results because you’re always analyzing.
For example recently I spent 1 hour recording a video only to find out later, that I hadn’t
plugged in the microphone.
As a result the audio on the video sounded terrible but I uploaded it anyway.
It’s better to take action and upload an imperfect video rather than not uploading
a video at all.
6.
Perseverance Perseverance is not a long race.
It’s the accumulation of many races one after the other.
Success is the result of hard work, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, loving
what you are doing or learning to do.
You can’t learn all the steps that it takes to grow a YouTube channel in one hour.
Channel growth is a process that requires a great investment of time and energy over
a certain period of time.
7.
Procrastination Procrastination is the bad habit of putting
off until the day after tomorrow what should have been done the day before yesterday.
For example I sometimes get stuck for content ideas for future videos.
If I put it off until the last minute it kills my creativity and causes anxiety and stress.
I’ve now learned to keep an ongoing list of content ideas when I’m in a creative
mindset. 8.
Consistency In my of my recent videos named “YouTube
Channel Growth Rate Case Study” I showed how my channel growth rate was very slow at
the beginning because I was only uploading videos every now and then.
I’d only hear crickets.
When I changed my upload frequency to twice a week, my growth rate increased dramatically.
9.
Community It’s easy lose to inspiration and motivation
when you receive little results from all your efforts.
You may get discouraged by reading negative comments or comparing your channel growth
with others.
Instead of going it a lone get support from other YouTubers by interacting with them in
the comments, joining their facebook groups, newsletter, or forums.
You’ll find that other YouTubers are experiencing the same problems as you.

10.
Be yourself It’s impossible to please everybody so instead
of trying to impress people just be yourself.
It's better to be yourself than to try to be some version of what you think the other
person wants you to be.
Focus more on the tasks that you love to do that generate energy rather than activities
that leave you drained.
If you love what you are doing you will be successful.
