Any one here a successful Youtuber?

[c00face]

I want to give it a shot, but I have no clue how to edit videos or make them entertaining, any advice would be helpful. Aside from Youtubing, I also want to try streaming on Twitch/Hitbox.

Not a successful YouTuber here, but some advice that pretty much any youtuber will give you is just keep making videos. Make what you want to make and keep at it, no matter how few views you get at first, if your content is good and you really care about it, you'll start growing. And if you just keep making videos, you'll learn along the way and your content will get better.

Not successful in the sense that I'm popular. But I have made lots of videos. The biggest mistake you can make is to expect to gain subs at a ridiculous speed. I have 16 subs lol. Just make videos you and your friends will enjoy. That's what I do. I enjoy making the videos and if people want to watch then even better. I use it as a way to show my friends all our funny and stupid moments whilst playing games. Perhaps you should try that?

 

Video editing, I won't say anything specific, let's just say you don't always have to pay to get certain things  and tutorials on YouTube are easily accessible. You really do pick it up the more you do!

I'm not a "successful" Youtuber (only about 230k views total, and only 240 subs). The key is to find something that really interests you, and just start doing it. You'll slowly learn to get better at editing, and knowing what people want to see, and what type of content you like to make. Just start doing it, there's no consequence of failing, you just learn from it.

Here's my channel (link removed by mod request, there's a link in my profile if you're actually interested) if you're interested in looking at it at all. It's not gaming or tech related though, mostly skiing and mountain biking.

Sweet thanks! I'm working on a new edit now actually. I've been making a lot less content since starting grad school so the videos are way less frequent, I only got about 6 days of skiing in this year... and I live in the mountains:(

[ConneelyS]

Again not a successful YouTuber here but  I do have a channel (153k Views and 252 Subs) I would absolutely give the advice that I heard from Casey Neistat.

"Just Keep Uploading". They are the words that he swears by and he is doing pretty well.

 

The most important thing I have learned during the almost 5 years I have been making videos (378 of them) is to just have fun and do what you want to do. If you're not enjoying making videos.... whats the point !?

 

So Good Luck with it and make sure to give me a shout out when you hit the big time okay

Hey that's bloody impressive. You have 240(241 now) ACTIVE subscribers. That's worth far more than 1000 subscribers with 100 active. You actually keep your subscribers happy! I've also subbed

Can I just say your banner, and artwork in general on your channel is really neat. It's simple but effective, I like it!

What program do you use to edit your videos, do you have a sense of guilt when it comes to posting your video online for the very reason people are watching and knowing you'll be responsible for that?

I use adobe creative cloud

 

Guilt? no why should I feel guilty? 

 

Do i get embarrassed or hate parts of my videos? sure, I am my own worst critic, but I am also immensely proud of myself and excited to push myself further

I have a sense weariness that I'm afraid I'll post something that will cause someone else to sin, and that responsibility will be on me. Was wondering if anyone else had that same mindset when it comes to posting videos to the public.

what even

causing people to sin? what are you even on about?

[I need a better name]

i got over 90 subs in few hours simply by making a foot reveal.

[Midnitewarrior4]

i used to make videos, got 12 subs with a tutorial and got over 7000 views on it and it was a shitty 720p video made with an integrated laptop mic when i first got my braces... so if i got views so can you  but i helps to have a topic that you like, at the time i loved modding games and running my own servers so i thought hey i dont see any videos on this specific topic,i know about this topic, why not make a video on it so other poeple can learn... after that i gained subs and views and met another small youtuber and did a couple vids with him, i didnt continue and i regret that, i probably could have had quite a few subs (not a tonne but maybe 1000 or more) considering a channel i watched grow (did similar content and had 500 subs when i subbed, i regularly talked to him in copmments, hes now over 16k subs.... while my channel sits there unused with 12.   sorry rambled for a bit, moral is, do what you like and theres most likely going to be other people interested in it also, and dont give up, keep it going... might try to start up my channel again this summer, and see where it goes, hopefully your goes well

I have walked arround with a similar idea myself for a long time.

Starting a tech youtube channel and doing some nice reviews on motherboards and stuff.

But by just reading the comments that people post on video´s from other female tech youtubers, such kind of comments just backing me off from the idea, because those are pretty annoying.

[KingKeith55]

I remember in the last couple years I grinded the shit out of youtube, honestly it boils down to if people like your videos or not. I managed to pull around 20K subs (which was and still is a really big deal to me, and to anyone who doesn't have a huge yt channel) but I mostly did CS:GO Montages and stuff, and this was back when CS started to gain a ton of hype so it was kind of an easy thing to step into. When I stopped playing CS that channel pretty much stopped, and I'm really mad about it now because I probably could have done something else with it (usually doesn't work though) and started an actual successful youtube channel. 

 

Criteria for being successful on youtube/twitch:

- Don't be a squeaker or a kid under like 16 or so (Just wait if you're young)

- Don't be a moron. This means actually seem at least semi professional, don't speak with horrible grammar and act like a retard.

- Make sure your videos are decent quality. No windows movie maker crap, no crappy video quality, no poor mic quality etc.

- If you're going to do gaming, don't be bad at the games you're playing. People would much rather watch a good player than a bad one in most cases.

- Don't waste your time on oversaturated things. Examples of this are: Let's plays, Tech reviews (or any review-type channel that's been done before), overplayed games (such as minecraft), or just things that are boring to watch and overdone.

- Don't put an annoying, generic shitty dubstep-3D letter epileptic intro. They're stupid and cringe-worthy as fuck and everyone that's not one of the people who use them think the same. Outros are cool if done the right way though.

 

Also don't go overkill on editing, there's actually extremely successful youtubers who have very minimal editing, some as simple as throwing a gameplay in the background of a commentary. Also wait until there's some new hyped crap that comes out, and be the first guy to make good videos about it. Also, if you want to get anyone watching you just grind the shit out of youtube. Keep making good videos, eventually people will like them if they're entertaining, and eventually you will get subs and views. Nothing super amazing, but you will start gaining attention eventually. It's all about execution, and how entertaining your videos can be.

I don't want to come across as an ass here but I was only thinking about this is other day. Do you agree that girls who do YouTube and Twitch etc will more likely get views because they are girls? Pretty much everyone will agree that women are used to get more views on YouTube in the form on click bait, so do you think just because girls are girls do people click on there videos more.

Now I'm not saying that all girls who use these platforms are using and abusing them to make money but there is a lot of that going on, which in turn can make it harder for women who actually just want to make videos.

Also I image women that actually want to make videos get a shit storm of stupid comments from creepy folk.

What's your opinion on this ?
