Have you ever considered starting a YouTube channel? YouTube has been big in the Social Media department all the way back since it launched in 2005 and it only keeps growing in popularity each year. YouTube was a big piece of what sparked Social Media to become what it is today. With that being said, it is a platform that gives anybody the opportunity to get big and become successful on the platform. So here are four tips you can optimize to gain some of that popularity and you can possibly make it big on YouTube as well.

Tip 1: Make Videos that Grab your Audience’s Attention

When creating videos, it is important to create videos that your audience can relate to as well as something that is going to get hold of their attention and make them keep coming back to your channel for more content. It is important to know what your audience likes and post content that they do indeed enjoy. Does your audience want entertainment that is educational? Do your audience maybe want something that they may find funny to get a good laugh? There is an abundance of options to pick from but whichever option you choose, it is important you post the right kind of content that relates to which option you pick.

Tip 2: Create Attention-Grabbing Titles

Another key to gaining popularity on YouTube is to make titles that will grab your audience’s attention. There are many ways you can create titles that can make people gravitate towards your channel. Some of the things you should include in a title are keywords and something your audience will find interest in and pursue what you post. Your audience can be more likely to view your videos and content just by using the right words in your titles.

Tip 3: Post Content Frequently

The third tip to help to gain an audience and possibly one of the most important tips is to make sure you are posting content frequently when starting. If you want to gain an audience, you need to make sure you are posting content that will gain interest about three or more times per week. Optimizing something like this can take a lot of dedication and time out of each day, but it is important to keep putting content out there for your audience to view. Gradually by putting content out there each week, your channel can possibly start to see a gradual increase in the number of people who tune into your channel.

Tip 4: Put Out Good Quality Content

The last tip for growing your channel is to make sure that the content you put out is of good quality and is not sloppy and rushed. When you put content out on YouTube, your audience can tell if a video's production is sloppy or done well. It is important to make sure you take the time to produce good content and not rush the content if the video is not ready to be posted at its full potential.
