5) provide a lot of value for your audience by researching in depth
“10 Lessons I Learnt After Crossing Over 7.5 Million YouTube Views On My Channel”
1. Long Term Consistency beats Short Term Intensity – Don’t just post for few days and forget. Post each day, at the same time for longer time, then your videos will get the traction.
2. Long Form Content – Posting anything between 10 to 30 Minutes are ideal duration.
3. Engaging Presentation Styles – Like Mind maps, which will create a curiosity. Keep Attention span high.
4. Deeper Research You Do, The Simpler you make it for your Audience – If your value per minute is Super High then the people will come back to you. Straight Forward, Point Shooter Style.
5. Optimize Your Uploads – Thumbnails, Description, Tags, Cards, Captions, End Screen, etc.
6. Quality of Video & Audio – Quality matters a lot for Videos, Audios, Background.
7. Having Interactive Cues – Generate Interaction in your Videos. Not only speak, also have interaction in Comments.
8. Turn on Monetization on your Videos – You Tube gives a better reach on which the Monetization is turned on, that’s how the Algorithm works.
9. Publishing Frequency – Use tools like VidIQ, which analyze your channels for best time to post as per your audience. When you launch any Video on You Tube, send the link on the emails to the leads also. Engagement within 24 hours will help your videos get better ranking and You Tube will give a push to your Videos as Suggested Videos.
10. Have an X Factor :
a) Authenticity – Be Real. Content should be real, which connects you to the audience.
b) Likeability – You should have a pleasing personality so that people will be able to connect with you.
c) Transparency – Don’t hold anything back. Don’t use You Tube just as marketing medium. Value per minute is so important. When people will see the value, they will come to you.
You need 3 things to be successful in this business :
1. You need to work on Yourself
2. You need to Follow the System
3. You need to Leverage the Power of the Tribe
You Tube is replacing TV & the benefit is that the videos on You Tube are discoverable.
