- I'm gonna tell you five signs
that mean you'll probably do okay as a YouTuber,
and we're starting right now.
(hip hop music)
What is going on?
My name is Nick from TuberTools.com.
Welcome to another video.
If this is your first time here,
and you wanna learn 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, so I've been on YouTube for a while now,
and I've seen a lot of people come on
and I've seen a lot of people
that don't upload videos anymore.
And that's because for whatever reason they decided to quit,
or decided to walk away,
or just decided that it wasn't for them for whatever reason.
So I'm gonna tell you some things that I've noticed
in the people that have stuck around for a while
and that are actually doing pretty good here on YouTube now.
The very first is that you've
worked YouTube into your schedule.
And what I mean by that is that you've
dedicated a certain chunk of time,
every week, or every couple of weeks,
or maybe even once a month,
to sit down and just crank out your content,
or you make content over a period of time
and you always work it in
to where it's become a priority of sorts.
I mean I know that life comes up, things happen,
but the people that seem to do well on YouTube,
they make it a priority to where
even if something else happens,
maybe they end up having to miss a movie
so that they can make content,
maybe they don't watch a certain TV show
so that they can make content,
maybe they stopped playing games for a while
so that they can make sure they get the content out
that they need to get out
in order to keep everything going on YouTube.
Now I know that you might be thinking
well, I've got this other stuff
that just doesn't allow me to commit to it,
and that's cool if you're not actually trying
to do anything with it.
But if you're somebody that's like
hey, I actually wanna turn this into something
or I wanna be on YouTube for a long time to come,
then in that situation it's really important
that you do commit to uploading
on a regular schedule here on YouTube.
Or just videos in general on whatever platform
of your choice, to make sure that you're consistently
putting yourself out in front of people.
The second one is that they are actually into YouTube.
And what I mean by that is they're watching videos,
they're participating in livestreams,
they are looking for YouTube news,
trying to stay up to date
on what's actually going on on the platform.
And when they're watching videos,
they're not just watching the video.
I mean, of course they're watching the video
for entertainment, but they're also watching the videos
to see how they're edited.
Hey, this video did well.
Why did this video do so well compared to the other videos
that are on this person's channel?
But they're watching for the sake of research
and for the sake of entertainment.
Which brings me to the next one.
Not only are they into YouTube,
but they actually research other channels.
They actually take tons of effort,
and they try to figure out what makes other channels tick.
In a lot of cases, that's based solely on theory
because unless you have access to the backend
of a channel and you can see everything that's happening,
you're really just taking guesses
unless you have some type of insider information.
But people that do well on YouTube,
typically, if you talk to them, they'll talk about
yeah, I was looking at this one channel,
and I noticed that they, this particular video did okay,
so I went and I just spent some time looking
at that video to see why it is that it did okay.
What I'm getting at is they are trying to figure it out.
The third thing is they have a plan of some kind.
Instead of just putting out videos
for the sake of putting out videos,
and I talk about this a lot,
but instead of putting out videos
for the sake of putting out videos,
they actually have a plan,
like this is what I'm trying to do,
these are the videos that are gonna help me do it,
this is the type of content that I need to make
in order to become an authority
in this particular niche of content.
These are the brands I wanna work with,
these are the people I wanna collaborate with,
these are the people that I wanna get to know, and so on.
They just have a plan.
They know what it is that they're after.
And therefore, all the decisions that they're making
are driving them towards whatever it is
that they're trying to accomplish.
Next is they're making content
for a specific group of people,
or a specific niche, or a specific genre of content.
Everybody on YouTube, everybody,
wants to just make whatever they wanna make
and put it up and hope that people respond to it.
But in reality, that used to work,
but these days it doesn't work so well.
So it's really important to make sure that you are focusing
on a specific topic of interest
for a specific group of people.
The more you focus in on that, the better you're gonna do.
And this is something that we're all kinda forced into
because of how YouTube works,
because YouTube is trying to share your content
to the people that are most likely
to watch that piece of content at that particular time.
And because of that, you have to make sure that the people
that originally come into the content when you publish,
the people that are already subscribed to your channel,
also have similar interests so that it's putting
your content out in front of the people
that have a similar interest to the people
that are already subscribed to your channel.
Having a specific interest set around your content
also works to your advantage
because if somebody watches one video
and then they go to your channel
and then they see other videos
that you have that are also based on the specific thing
that those people are interested in,
well, guess what?
You're gonna get more people watching more of your content.
So every one person that comes in,
that comes in on that interest set,
they're interested in everything you have.
So the likelihood of them watching more of your content
gets drastically increased because all the content
that you have is stuff that you're interested in.
And if they're interested in all your content,
they're gonna subscribe,
they're gonna watch, and watch, and watch,
and they're gonna leave and then they're gonna come back
and they're gonna watch more,
and then you're gonna publish something,
they're gonna watch that, and so on and so forth.
Next up, you are learning and applying.
That's the keyword here.
You're applying all that you possibly can.
All the stuff that you're learning.
All the stuff you learn from my videos
and watching other videos like mine,
and from looking in your analytics
and all that stuff yourself,
you're applying all that information into what it is
that you're doing on YouTube.
Watching videos on how to YouTube,
listening to podcasts on how to YouTube,
reading articles on how to YouTube,
none of that is gonna do you any good
if you're not taking action on it,
if you're not actually applying the information
to what it is that you're doing.
I can't tell you how many times,
you'll probably see it in the comment section
of this video too, but I can't tell you how many times
people will say in the comments
oh, Nick, I'm doing all the stuff
that you talk about but nothings working for me.
And then out of curiosity, I go and then check out
their channel, and they're not applying anything
that I talk about.
So what they're doing is they're listening
to the information, but they're not
actually applying the information,
which is what's making their channel not perform.
So apply all the stuff that you learn,
test as much as you can,
and you'll probably be fine.
On that note, growing a YouTube channel does take
a lot of effort and a lot of understanding.
So what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to link
a playlist right here that you can watch
that's going to show you how to grow a YouTube channel.
And this one down here is one that
YouTube thinks you should watch.
And if you wanna learn more about growing your channel,
making videos, and all types of other YouTube-related stuff,

so you don't miss anything.
Thank you so much for watching.
I'll see you next time.
