So, you can make money on YouTube, the main thing is to choose the most suitable way for this. I will not advise anything, it's up to you. And we will move on to the most interesting, how to properly set up your channel so that it can be monetized?
Basic steps to create a channel
All methods of channel monetization will be good only if you make the right settings and add only high-quality videos. But before thinking about how to set up YouTube, you need to get access to it.
To do this, we go through a simple one, confirm our phone number and get everything you need in one set. This step is simple, accessible to everyone and absolutely free.
First you need to make the initial channel settings. In the upper left corner, the avatar that you set in your Google account is automatically displayed. The background image of the channel is quite large, 2560×1440 pixels. Picking up a picture of this resolution is not difficult, but it is better to do it in advance. It is important to choose such an image for the header of your channel so that the avatar against its background is not lost and is clearly visible.
Before adding video to hosting, you need to decide on the subject of the channel. This step requires a responsible approach and a thorough analysis of the most popular videos. Here it is important to understand what topic is interesting for you and makes you want to create videos as often as possible. You can choose any direction - pets, cooking, travel.
It is important to do the overall channel setup correctly. This is the final step and the most responsible. When filling out the “About the channel” section, try to describe your topic as fully as possible. Tell a little about yourself, what you do, attract your viewer, interest him. Specify keywords - this is a list of the most popular search queries by which users can find your videos in the general mass.
Don't forget that keywords, a quality description, and a catchy title are essential for every single video. If it is difficult to select keywords at the stage of adding a video, you can return to these sections later and fill them out slowly and slowly.
That's all, your YouTube channel is ready to go, the basic settings are done. However, do not rush to upload all the videos at once! It won't do any good. Remember, they must be added periodically, that is, with a certain frequency and regularity.
To get started, create a video that you'll set as a trailer for new subscribers. It should be short in duration, but the highest quality video.
What kind of videos are you interested in?
I think you understand that videos need to be added regularly. With such actions, you accustom your viewers to constancy. Remember yourself, are you also looking forward to the release of a new film series or a continuation of the book? So please subscribers with constancy.
So, what you need to do on the channel, which was created for the purpose of monetization:
- Add videos created only by yourself. Videos from other people's channels can not be placed on your own in any case! The owner of the video can file a copyright infringement complaint, and you will lose your offspring in an instant.
- Very interesting variety of performance videos. These can be educational videos where you share your own experience. Or review videos dedicated to your hobby and passion - music, films, needlework and more. Personal and family videos arouse a burning interest in the audience. But here it is important not to overdo it. Walking in the park, playing with children, pet behavior - these videos will help viewers to feel your personality. You will make the channel more alive.
- Create a series of videos and upload them regularly. It all depends on your topic and interests.
Account blocking is a very unpleasant thing and always happens unexpectedly.
The reason for the closure can be a banal thing - music or a well-known logo that has unsuccessfully entered the frame and has copyrights.
Therefore, when creating a video, it is important to pay attention to what surrounds you in the frame: nature, home interior, supermarket or something else, whether you hear a conversation nearby, nature sounds or background music.
I recommend that you read and strictly follow all the rules, paragraphs and subparagraphs of these rules, so that in the future no trouble will befall you. It is better to read them twice in order to understand how to set up the channel so that no complaints arise at all and any monetization methods work perfectly.
How to determine the popularity of videos
This can only be determined empirically. No theories will help until you yourself understand what and how to do. It is advisable to conduct a small experiment: shoot a video, process it and add it to your channel. Since you can wait a long time for the first subscriber and viewer, and the channel is unknown to anyone, share your creation on social networks.
This is where the fun begins! If the audience likes the video, then they share it with their friends, the number of views is growing very quickly, so you did everything right. It is especially nice when viewers leave comments. If the views of the video are growing slowly, then something needs to be changed in the video, settings, descriptions.
It's a shame if the theme is not attractive to viewers. It is important to understand that the higher the popularity of the videos, the more views, the more real it is to make money on YouTube.
If you conduct a little analysis, you will notice that a lot depends on the popularity of the channel, the number of subscribers, the regularity of adding interesting copyright videos. It is important to understand, dear readers, that those big fees that famous video bloggers receive are an indicator that you can really make money on YouTube.
At the very first stage, be patient, no need to chase popular people. You will also have everything, just treat your channel as your favorite hobby. I am sure that with such an attitude you are guaranteed to get success and popularity.
