 Hey there! These days, YouTube has more than 1.8 billionusers, and those are only the people who get logged in! No wonder this platform is one of the world'smost successful and popular services ever! But it's not enough to upload just any videoto start your own YouTube channel and make the grade. You need to know several vital points that’llhelp you get started, and earn good money at that! 1.

 One of the most crucial steps you should makebefore creating your own channel is to plan your content. It should be engaging and interesting. Plus, the more people can relate to it, themore they’ll click on your videos and watch them till the end.

 2. The best idea is to make videos about somethingthat’s trendy at the moment. This way, more people will click on them. At the same time, you have to find your ownoriginal content – don’t copy the ideas of other vloggers.

 3. Once you've chosen one theme for your channel,try to stick to it. For example, if the main concept of your channelis traveling, a make-up tutorial might not be too interesting for your audience. 

4. Choose a unique, catchy, and easy-to-remembername for your channel that will also describe your content. 

5. Pay particular attention to the profile picture- it should be clear and eye-drawing. 

6. If your goal is to monetize your videos, makesure they don't mention controversial topics, for example, politics, or tragic events. Also, avoid inappropriate language and hatefulcontent. Check out certain "trigger" words which willmake YouTube demonetize your video. Spoiler: these words may sound entirely innocentat first glance! 

7. Remember that there will be times when you'llfind it hard to come up with new ideas for your videos. No need to fret - even the most experiencedvloggers occasionally run into the same problem. Make it a habit to write down all the ideasthat come to your mind, and try to look for inspiration everywhere you go.

 8. Get yourself the right equipment. Your content may be super cool and useful,but if the quality of your videos is poor, most people won't want to waste their timeon a blurry image. 

9. Popular YouTubers normally use either a mirrorlessor a DSLR camera (the latter stands for a digital single-lens reflex camera). Other essentials you may need include lenses,tripods, or even studio lighting, depending on the concept of your channel. 10. If you shoot videos on the go, you'd betterchoose a good monopod or handheld stabilizer, and a high-quality action camera. 

11. Clear sound is just as important as the pictureitself. That's why it's a great idea to invest ina good microphone before you start shooting your videos. Always check your audio to make sure the viewerswill be able to understand your words.

 12. To get better sound while shooting outside,use a directional microphone - it filters the background noise around you, singlingout the sounds of whatever it’s pointed directly at. 

13. Until you've gathered a big following, makesure that every second of your videos has some meaning. Choose the very best content, and cut outany boring moments of silence. It’ll keep your viewers' attention throughoutthe video. 

14. If you're new on YouTube, and video editingis still something you don't excel at, don’t use advanced editing software, like FinalCut Pro. Try something basic and simple at first. 

15. Never compare yourself with other YouTubers- that's a sure way to a fiasco. Concentrate on your work and use every opportunityto learn something new: test original editing styles, try new presentation techniques, andexplore new areas that may interest your viewers. 

 16. Commit yourself to posting on your channelat least three times a week. Statistically, such channels are much moresuccessful and get significantly more recommended views. This tip is especially important for thosewho are just starting their YouTube channel, because it's a sure way to gain popularity.

 17. On top of that, if you post tons of videosfrom the very beginning, you build up your own video library. This way, the viewers will be able to movefrom one video to another, boosting your watch time. 

18. Your content should be simple enough to beproduced regularly and in a relatively short time. Experienced YouTubers often have a small videostudio of their own (even if it's just an ex-storeroom in their apartment). All you have to do when you need new contentis turn on the lighting and start shooting!

 19. Illustrate your videos with different storiesand life examples. It engages people more, and they’ll continuewatching to see what will happen in the end.

 20. If you already have a large, trusting audience,you can begin your video with a fact that seems totally off-topic, and then make a suddenturn and connect it with the main idea of your video.

 21. Start your videos in an intriguing way. For example, if it's some tutorial, show thefinal result first. It’ll hook people and make them watch yourvideo until the end.

 22. The titles of your videos should be shortand intriguing to make the viewers interested enough to click. The same goes for the opener: if it's toolong, people might get bored, lose interest, and close the video. 

23. Make your title no longer than 10 words, usesimple vocabulary, and try to come up with something intriguing and catchy. Don’t use academic words, metaphors, orclickbait phrases.

 24. Remember to add end screens which are interactivelinks to your playlists and other videos. It's a great way to promote your channel,or even your website!

 25. But you should keep in mind that end screensappear in the last 20 seconds of your video, so you should plan exactly where and whenyou want to have them. The best option is to organize the layoutof your video in such a way that end screens frame the main subject on the screen.

 26. Another crucial point is the thumbnail. Depending on how well you work on it, a thumbnailcan make your video a roaring success, or let it go completely unnoticed. First of all, the thumbnail should be relevantto the content and the title of your video. Otherwise, the viewers will immediately clickaway. 

27. Also, always describe the thumbnail in thevideo. Your audience clicks on the picture becauseit's got them hooked, and they want to learn more about it in the video itself.

 28. Design your thumbnail to tell a story. The image should intrigue your viewers andmake them wonder what's going to happen next, and which actions have led to this situation.

 29. Use one style while creating all your thumbnails- this way, people will recognize them at first glance. You can also add your channel's logo, designparticular shapes or patterns, or use the same element on all your thumbs. 

30. You can test which of your thumbnails arethe most clickable and have the highest view-through rate. To do it, you'll have to spend some moneyto find out your YouTube statistics for a week or so, but the results will be worthit.

 31. Making long videos can help you to improvewatch time. Despite the infamous attention span thesedays, videos that last for more than 10 minutes get recommended by YouTube more often thanshorter ones.

 32. Watch time is vital for a vlogger nowadaysbecause recently, YouTube has changed its algorithm. Thus, content creators get rewarded dependingon how long their videos are watched rather than how many people click on them.

 33. Another good idea is a collaboration withother YouTubers. You can advertise each other either throughend screens or by mentioning another channel or person in your video. Such promotions have a great influence onviewers and often let you gain many new subscribers.
