Video Creators | Grow Your Youtube Audience, Get Subscribers, Tips For More Views, Strategy, And Make Money With Your Channel

You want to stand out and get people to notice your videos. You want them to stick around, for it to grow into an amazing community, and grow your business. But it seems like there are already so many people doing something similar to you. If you can't find a way to stand out from the crowd, your content becomes too skimmable. A new viewer will get the information they need and then click away, never coming back to watch more. So you make another video hoping this next one will actually contribute to your channel's growth, but it likely doesn't. Today we'll discuss a few concepts that will help you stand out and grow.   CREATOR SPOTLIGHT Johnny Harris - https://www.youtube.com/user/johnnymangosteen   REGISTER FOR THE NEXT VIDEO LABS IN JUNE: https://videocreators.com/videolabs

We talk a LOT about how to best utilize YouTube analytics in order to grow your reach. Because, with YouTube analytics, you can learn so much about how your audience is or is NOT interacting with your content, and thus, you can know what you need to work on in order to get your viewers (or potential viewers) to engage more with your content, which gets your videos in front of more people on YouTube. But, what if I told you that using YouTube analytics is actually crippling your growth? We see this in creators more often than not, and so that's what we want to talk about today.

Most creators shoot on a nice camera, edit on a big screen, listen to their videos through nice speakers, and publish from the desktop. Mobile considerations don't often enter the picture, but that's a huge mistake because a massive amount of viewership on YouTube takes place on mobile devices like cell phones and tablets. In 2021, we have to consider mobile viewers when it comes to how we craft and optimize our videos. But what does that look like? How do we do that? And how does the viewing environment change the expectation people have for our videos? We're going to talk about that today and help you out with some ideas so your videos perform better with the massive mobile audience on YouTube.

You're likely doing keyword research all wrong on YouTube. In fact, when we start working with a YouTube creator and they tell us how they're doing keyword research, all I usually have to do to make my point is ask, "That sounds great. How's that working for you so far?" and typically they chuckle and say that it's not. It's not surprising because the whole idea of keyword research is based on an outdated understanding of how YouTube's search and discovery systems work. The idea is that if I can find keywords that have a lot of search volume with low competition, then there's a greater chance that I could rank for that keyword and thus get a lot of that traffic. But just because there's high competition and high search volume doesn't mean you can't outrank everything that's there. It happens all the time! Maybe you've experienced it yourself with a video that performed well for years, but now suddenly isn't. Someone else's video took over. Furthermore, there's no such thing as ranking number one for anything

The normal approach for most creators making educational content on YouTube is to just straight up teach the content. Provide the cold, hard facts and wrap up the video. After all, years of experience in the modern educational system have taught us to deliver information void of emotion, feelings, and sometimes even context. While there is still certainly a place on YouTube for tutorials and educational content that delivers information in that way, there's another approach to education that, when done well, many people don't even notice that it's actually education. That's because the education is wrapped up in a story that captures the viewer's attention, holds their attention, and actually makes them feel something. It gets the viewer's heart involved and, before long, causes them to even build a perceived relationship with the educator. Those are the channels that often find the most success on social media platforms like YouTube. Justin Rhodes is a great example of this. As a homesteading channel, if his

It’s one thing to have a channel with a big subscriber number, but it’s another to have a thriving community of people surrounding the channel. People that, if you didn’t show up to post would be DM’ing you to see if you’re okay. People that comment on every video and defend you to the haters. People that even PAY you.  The problem is that we see community as something we build. Something that if we post consistently and ask people to comment, that’s all it takes. But, community is not built - it’s earned. We’re not here to lay the right tactical bricks so people sit in our house, it’s our job to foster a culture that allows them to lay the bricks alongside us.  Today we’re going deep into how you can start to build a thriving community that serves your channel, your business, and each other. CREATOR SPOTLIGHT: Mike and Erin of, "Our Wyoming Life," are a perfect example of what a strong, online, earned community looks like.

Many creators feel frustrated when they don't understand why some videos take off and others fall flat. Or why one thing on their channel is working well, but everything else isn't. Or when the thing that used to work no longer is. Is it possible that there's a process, or even a formula, that any creator can follow and get predictable results? There is. Derral Eves has been actively growing YouTube channels for years. In fact, he's behind over 70 billion views on YouTube. He recently wrote a book called, "The YouTube Formula," where he breaks down everything he's learned about growing channels and millions of views and subscribers. In this episode, he introduces us to the YouTube Formula and provides insights into the mistakes that often hold creators back as well as the things they should be doing, but often aren't. Take this information, implement it, and watch your channel grow! GET DERRAL'S BOOK HERE: www.ytformula.com CHECK OUT DERRAL'S CHANNEL HERE: https://www.youtube.com/derraleves

Google is always tweaking its search algorithms. In fact, they're making changes to it every single day. But last month they rolled out a big core update that was clearly noticeable, which they tend to do several times a year. December's core update impacted a lot of websites and, while we won't get into all the details of what that looks like on the website, it paints a picture for us of where YouTube's search and discovery systems are headed in 2021. Today we want to dive into what that is, what we can learn from it, and what we need to focus on as creators in 2021 if we want YouTube's improving algorithms to continually surface our videos to the right viewer at the right time.
