*WARNING MILD LANGUAGE*
If you wan't a successful channel that you are happy with you have to work your ass off. I've learned this over 6 months of being on YouTube. When I first started my channel I figured I was going to get thousands of views but I wasn't and you wont, unless you work for it.(THIS IS NOT A PROMOTION TO SOME BOOK LIKE MR. LAMBORGHINI GUY, THIS IS SIMPLY MY STORY OF BEING A YOUTUBER AND MY ADVICE) I had to figure something out to get subs/views because that's what we want right? Well at first I had no idea what I was doing but I had a plan I just needed some supplies to craft my plan. I did digging for a while searching "how to get views on youtube" and not much really helped me. I have to this day learned that if you want something you have to earn it. You can't wish for it and you cannot have a easy way in YouTube. I don't consider myself a big YouTuber but I consider myself successful and that's all I can ask for right now.
Love what you do: In order to become happy as a YouTuber, you need to find something you love doing. I love helping people out, and I noticed how YouTubers use a lot of sound effects. I decided to make a sound effect channel and give people the sounds they need in order to make their videos better! It's something I love to do and I enjoy it. What I'm saying is, if you don't like what you're doing you're doing it wrong. If you love gaming but you're making a channel that is music or something you wont enjoy you're channel and you wont put as much effort into your videos. I know this because when I was a "YouTube Gamer" I put little effort into my videos. And got nowhere with my gaming channels.
Working your ass off: To become successful you need to put in work. You can't just put raw video on you're channel and hope that you get thousands of views. You need to edit it, cut it, whatever it. Make it look good. Put background music in it. Have a good time while making these videos. Post frequently, if you are someone like a vlogger you should post daily that's what most vloggers do. If you are a gamer that makes Funny Moments or similar to that post about every 2-3 days. If you are a gamer that does letsplays you don't need to do a LOAD of editing so post about ever day. And don't have most of you're videos 1 hour long. Start at 20 minutes long each episode then advance to 30 then 40 as you gain subs. You need consistency and cannot stop or you will lose people's interest in you.
Talk to people: Talk to other YouTubers and try to collab with them. Or collab with your friends. It gives your viewers and your friends viewers to go to you and your friends channel and potentially subbing and watching. Reach out to your viewers, they are the best tool to your success. Listen to them ask them what they want that is in the means of your channel. If you gain their friendship you will have someone else to play with and someone else to advertise your channel.
Owning it for yourself: YouTube is basically a giant monopoly and you have to be the king not the Squire, Knight, Guard, you need to be the KING of what you do. You want to have a plan that puts you on top of what everyone else does in the category of what you do on YouTube. Fight for what is your's, and don't quit.
It will pay off for you. And plus you will remember it for the rest of your life.
Just felt like making this to motivate people for 2k16 and there is to many people on freedom that think success will come to them. I thought it would to at first but I realized that I needed to get my **** together and "Work Harder" as Casey Neistat always says.
