What YouTubers Don't Tell You About Starting a Channel (using Fiverr)

Every day I see more and more people trying to become YouTubers. I made my first video 10 years ago. It has truly changed my life in more ways. I imagine there is a lot of advice on the subject, but today I wanted to do it. Share some of the lesser-known tips I've learned over the years. The things I found. Great YouTubers don't really talk. So, the first and most obvious thing when creating a

channel

is to decide

what

you are going to make videos about. We discovered that there are two types of people who want to start a YouTube

channel

.

The first is someone who has a hobby or passion with a very specific skill set and really wants to make videos about it. It also includes people who have businesses and who want to do business. YouTube channel and the second is people who just like to make videos in general, they love making films but they don't really know

what

to do. Videos about both types can definitely be successful, but what people won't

tell

you is that there is some strategy behind it. Getting viewers isn't actually a random thing, so if you're one of those people who doesn't really know what to make videos about but you just like doing it, what you should try to do is make videos about things that really interest you. in and also right now this is very important that people are also looking for, it's really as simple as that, if you can fall in the middle of these two things, you are golden, there has to be a good balance between this, although if you are alone you do videos to get views and you don't care at all about the topic, you will burn out, believe me, you will if you are just making very obscure random videos that you are passionate about and no one else, no one will find them. them and you're not really going to get any viewers the good news is that people are searching for so many different things nowadays there are so many different niches on youtube fishing channels gardening channels there is a golden retriever with over a million subscribers his name is tucker and he's adorable his channel works better than mine you're bound to have some overlap with something people are searching for and what you're interested in the secret to finding what people are really searching for this I can't even believe it.

I'm putting this in this video because I want to keep this information to myself. I'm just going to share it anyway. Okay, so what you want to do is open an incognito browser on YouTube. It sounds like what we are going to do. to do is very sketchy, it's not, so just go to youtube and type how to do it and you will see everything that people are searching for, so this list changes all the time according to trends, but I was surprised by what I found, how to draw , how to make french toast things I had no idea people were searching for that's how I started making videos just doing different tutorials I wasn't even necessarily good at this stuff but when you start from scratch you can see it I actually got some views and from There I changed my channel enough to be what I'm interested in, but just because a lot of people are searching for French toast doesn't mean you have to make a video.

About French Toast, you can see trends within any topic you're interested in, so for example, let's say you want to start a gardening channel, if we write how to plan, we'll see everything people search for in this category. Instead of guessing and making a video that no one really cares about, you can see that what people are really searching for is how to plant potatoes. It's kind of amazing, so you can take this technique and apply it to any niche on YouTube. There's no rule that says you have to stick to one category of videos that you're making, if I find something it's going to really kill your motivation because you're going to burn out like you get tired of it, so it's good to introduce some new styles and be creative, try things new like all. that's good if a video doesn't do well, that's fine, you can make another one next week.

The next secret that many YouTubers won't

tell

you is that many of them don't actually edit their own videos very many times. YouTubers, both large and small channels, hire another person to edit. If you've ever made a video yourself, I'm sure you quickly discovered that editing is time-consuming, usually the most time-consuming part of my process, and the reality is that if you have a full-time job it's possible. You don't have time to edit, that's why many YouTubers are full-time YouTubers. It's the editing that takes forever. A great place to find a publisher is Fiverr. There are editors in all different price ranges and since editing is remote, you can hire someone from anywhere and they can do anything from a basic cut to cool animations and intro sequences.

I hired many of the things you see in this video from Fiverr. These whiteboard animations were all from

fiverr

and this was too. Cool new intro graphic I made. I love it. I think it looks very professional. I don't know how people make these kinds of animations and I know it would take me forever to figure out, so I was happy to hire someone to do it. it

fiverr

has thousands of freelancers to review. You can also post your own request with exactly what you want. You can hire people for specific things like animations or you can hire them to edit the entire video so you don't have to touch. something you could even hire someone to do a full voiceover for you like this one you're watching.

Shelby Church. Doesn't that sound as good as a movie trailer? Anyway, you could basically rent almost anything you need for the post-production process. The production on Fiverr isn't that great, although there are entire YouTube channels where the person making the video is not on camera and hires someone else to do the voiceover on many of those top 10 channels or compilation videos. . I'm hiring for that and to show you another example of what you can get, I hired someone to do a 30 second intro sequence. Now another thing that I know a lot of big time YouTubers do, but haven't heard of on YouTube, is hire an editor in a different time zone, what a lot of daily vloggers do is record their footage all day and then At the end of the day, send them to an editor who is just

starting

their day this way while you go to sleep, the editor is actually waking up during your entire work day and then they can send it back when you wake up.

Fiverr actually makes this very easy to do because you can choose which part of the world you want your editor to be from. I know a lot. of people who are daily vloggers do that because it's really the fastest and most efficient way to publish your vlog the next day. Really the wonderful thing about fiverr is that you can get things done quickly, you skip the whole process of negotiating the price and everything that it's all up front and it's a one click purchase so you can have everything ready as quickly as you want. They also have express delivery so they can do it within 24 hours.

Just check that filter and you'll find all the sellers that can return something in a day and I actually did a couple of these and some of them even returned it a few hours later which is awesome and honestly key for youtube because youtube is It moves pretty fast, you know you want to turn it up once. a week once every two weeks at least, so it is key to have people who return things to you and change them very quickly. Fiverr actually has a YouTube store, so here you can find thumbnail designs, channel art designs, it's really an all in one. place to find everything you might need for your channel, you can find it by going to influential industries and then youtube services, so they have a lot of freelancers that edit, but they even have different things beyond that.

In fact, I'm hiring five people. freelancer to write a video concept for me and then I have to make the video no matter what it is, so stay tuned for that video coming soon, maybe it will be something useful if you really don't know what to make videos about, you could hire someone. write a concept for yourself and then you could go film it, another thing that

youtubers

won't tell you is that the thumbnail is the most important part of your video in terms of getting some views, it's so important that in fact I think it's more important that the title of the video is the thumbnail think of your thumbnail as a movie poster or a movie trailer like it's going to be taken seriously like I'm going to have a whole photo shoot for my thumbnails the worst thing you can do is you know forget about a thumbnail and just take a screenshot of a video, we've all done it, those videos never work that well, what you need to do is plan your thumbnail before you start recording the video, know exactly how it will look like, so I usually just sketch out what I want it to look like on a piece of paper before I even make the video.

You don't have to be good at drawing. It's a little minor, like little stick figures, but it gets the idea of ​​what you want. what you're going to do and you can do some trial and error, you know, show it to some people, see what they think before you spend all the time making the thumbnail, they can take a while to edit and that's okay since I don't think it's a It's a waste of time to spend time making a miniature. This is another great option to hire, although many YouTubers hire people to make their thumbnails.

I know a lot of big YouTubers will have a day where they just take thumbnail photos that I can send to an editor to then edit into whatever video it is. There are a few things I've learned over the years that will lead to a good miniature. You don't want it to be too clickbaity when it's too clickbait looking to the point where it doesn't even look real, people just know it's fake, that used to work but not so much anymore. You want your thumbnail to look realistic, almost like it's a screenshot of the video, but it doesn't have to be, you just want it. to make it look like that, it helps to represent something that you're doing in the video and you don't want to just stand there smiling here's a little behind the scenes of some of the thumbnails I've made so you can see with this in one I drove to an empty parking lot and I took these photos, you know, it took me a couple of hours of my day, but I think it was worth it with this one, I rearranged my whole office just for the thumbnail and I usually do several shots and angles before I find the best one again, this takes a little bit longer than you might expect can really be the difference between knowing a couple hundred views and a couple hundred thousand views, which people don't really know.

I'm talking, but I know it works really well if you want your thumbnail to have something intriguing, so all of these thumbnails have something intriguing that makes you want to click on them. There's a little mystery you know, especially with this one from Amazon and me. I found that all of these miniatures worked especially well, this is something else as it takes quite a bit of time; You can hire someone on Fiverr to do it, especially since Photoshop is a completely different skill set than video editing and there are a ton of very skilled photo editors out there for actually no Very bad price on Fiverr, so I paid him to this Fiverr 25 seller and he made these three thumbnails for me and I think he really did a good job.

I like how the text is behind me. I think they are good and don't click too much. Well you know they still look realistic so I think these miniatures are great. When you watch a YouTube video a lot of times it seems like people are just talking out of their heads and sometimes they are, but what a lot of people gained. What I don't tell you is that they actually have some kind of notes about what they're going to say and also that their first few videos are probably really awkward. Being in front of the camera doesn't really come naturally to anyone, no one is born.

In front of the camera, when I'm going to make a video, I usually develop what I want to say so that it is more organized and I don't forget anything. There is really nothing wrong with doing this. I think it will make you sound a lot. rather put, I usually write down some notes and in doing so I come up with even more ideas for my videos and I'll stay on track and not go off on a bunch of random tangents that you want to write. Make some notes of where you'll go in your video if you're giving a talk but don't want it to be like you're reading on a teleprompter, the best YouTubers that feel like you're talking to.

Dude, it doesn't feel like news where you're completely reading a script. You want it to be a little conversational. You might think it's too late to start a YouTube channel, but I'm telling you, people have been saying that for years, like since I started 10 years ago, so it's not too late to start a YouTube channel and in many ways It's a better time than ever because there is so much information out there on how to start a YouTube channel. I see people every day I have a million subscribers channels I've never heard of like there's room for so many people to be successful on this platform, not just a few people,I really hope this video was helpful to you, I'll link it down. below fiverr i will link to the freelancers i hired to help in this video, if you want to check them out there are so many thousands on fiverr so definitely check it out, comment below if you still have any other questions on how to do it.
