How to be Successful on YouTube in 5 Easy Steps

Introduction

YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world, and it's also one of the most popular ways to share videos online. If you want to be successful on YouTube, then you need to understand how to leverage this platform for your own benefit. There are many things that go into being a successful YouTuber, but if you follow these steps then they will help you build up an audience who loves watching your videos!

1. Understand Your Niche

The first step to becoming a successful YouTuber is understanding your audience. Who are they? What do they want to see, hear and do? As you begin to create content that addresses their needs and interests, it will become apparent how much time and effort it will take for them to tune in.

The second step is knowing what kind of content works best for your audience’s demographic. When creating videos specifically with teens in mind, there are certain topics that can be explored more deeply than others (such as relationships). If you want young men or women who like gaming or sports movies then those topics would be suitable; however if instead one wants something more educational then perhaps science lectures would be better suited!

2. Tailor your videos to your viewers.

To be successful on YouTube, you must tailor your content to your audience. In other words, make sure you're publishing videos that are relevant to the people viewing them.

For example: if you have a channel about technology and gaming, then it would be in your best interests to include relevant keywords within each video title and description so they can easily find what they're looking for when searching Google or another search engine. This way if someone links back to one of your videos from their own channel (which will happen quite often), it'll show up at the top of their search results page as well! The same goes for tags: If a viewer searches "Microsoft" or "Windows" and finds one of these two topics within an article/video on yours but not yours specifically...well then maybe there's something wrong with this system!

3. Create consistent content.

You can't be successful on YouTube if you don't create content. If you're serious about growing your channel, it's important to make videos consistently and at a high quality. This means that you should plan out how many weeks in advance of posting new content you'll be creating each week.

As with any other aspect of being successful on YouTube, consistency is key: consistency in frequency (how often), consistency in quality (what kind of video), etc., so make sure that whatever schedule you set up works for both yourself and your audience!

4. Engage with your audience.

Respond to comments and questions. This is the most important part of building a community because it gives you a chance to interact with people who care about what you have to say and gives them more reasons to be interested in what you do. If someone asks a question on one of your videos, take some time out of your schedule to address it directly and make sure they feel heard (and not ignored). 

When someone comments on one of your videos, thank them by name! They'll appreciate this gesture more than anything else ever could; it shows how much effort you're putting into connecting with viewers so that they feel like part of something bigger than just another viewer watching content produced by an individual or company. 

Invite others into conversations about topics related to yours through questions posed during live chats/discussions held at specific times throughout each week (or month) where all subscribers participate together as well as those who don't subscribe but visit regularly enough such as friends visiting from other countries where English isn't spoken natively yet still want access.

5. Stay true to yourself and earn subscribers.

It's important to stay true to yourself and earn subscribers.

This will help you stay consistent, authentic, and true to your brand. It also means that people will know who you are when they come across your content—and that's what matters most!

Your channel should reflect the kind of person you are: If someone watches one video from your channel, does it make sense for them to watch another video? Do these videos have similar themes or topics in common? 

How could someone find these videos interesting if they had never heard about them before? If so, there are probably other people out there who want an opportunity like this as well; they just haven't found it yet (or maybe didn't even know how).

 This is where being honest comes into play: Don't try too hard or take things too seriously—just be yourself!
If you have great ideas that are executed well and consistently you will get more views on YouTube


If you have great ideas that are executed well and consistently you will get more views on YouTube.

In order to be successful in this process, it's important to have a good idea. It's also important to execute your idea correctly. The way you execute an idea is by making sure that it's consistent or repetitive in nature - so having different versions of the same thing every week can really help with this!

If you want more success on YouTube then I recommend taking one step at a time: start small by posting once per day for 3 weeks; then increase your posting frequency but keep everything else constant (i.e., length/quality etc.). This allows viewers who might not click back after their first viewing session because they've already seen enough videos today - which means we won't miss out on new viewers who haven't yet seen our channel!

6. Conclusion

It's a lot of work to build a successful YouTube channel, but it can be done. It all comes down to the right plan and consistent execution. You will need to be patient and follow through on your goals for success. If you're looking for ideas about how much money an average YouTuber is making per video then check out this article!
