There are obviously a lot of people who would like to famous and be on television. Ever heard of YouTube? It's an entertainment site where people post videos for others to watch. And YOU can be famous there. Anyone can! So if you want to, read on.
- Brainstorm what your videos are going to be. Often check the most viewed videos and most subscribed list, and keep a look out for new YouTubers on the latter list. Looking at the top subscribed list will give you a good perspective on who your audience is and what kind of videos people like.
- What would you be entertained by? If you don't make something that you would enjoy watching, what makes you think anyone will want to watch it?
- Make a few videos. This includes getting a video camera, recording, editing, and uploading. You need a few good videos already on your profile, and you'll see why later on in this article. So make something to watch, maybe about ten videos over the course of a while, maybe a month, so you actually get your own show going. It is not going to be well-known, but this is the first step. If you choose an alternative, go to the next step.
- Animation. Animation is quite useful (if you don't want to expose yourself to the whole world) but requires some software: Pivot Stickfigure Animator, Hypercam (records what's on your screen) and Windows Movie Maker (to add sounds, cause Pivot can't). Or if you have a Mac, iMovie HD is a great program to use.
- Make your money video. Make one more video, a good one, or a mediocre one. In it, and you'll see why, say things like, "I know this is unlike my OTHER videos." or "You guys have been asking about_____." or even "Hey guys its me again thanks for your great comments." Now, how is this different from your other videos? You're still going to get maybe 7 views if you're lucky, right? No, read on. Remember, one of the best websites to promote your videos is fireviews.com
- Post this video as a video response. Find someone who is ALREADY famous on YouTube or even someone who seems like they are going to become known. You can certainly find videos with a lot of views and not too many video responses. Now, by posting this video as a response to a famous person's video, or to a famous video, more people will watch your video (a surprisingly large amount, maybe 1/5 of the people watching the original video). People will notice how you mentioned your other videos, and your "fans" and such, and they will pay a visit to your page. "Hey! A lot of videos! Cool! Hey they are not too bad! I will subscribe! Yeah!" There you go. Just sit and watch; subscribers will get higher and higher within weeks.
- Keep them entertained. Make more videos. Do it. Post more responses, make more originals. Be sure to make your page look good.
- Log in everyday. If you rarely log in, people will not visit your channel as frequently.
- In Videos, try to put some interesting tags.
- Tell Your Friendsby posting on facebook and twitter. People that follow or are your friend can tell friends!
- Market yourself. Spread the word by posting videos of your talent. Do not use wikiHow for this though.
- Make sure the video is about something worth watching. Don't think you're going to get famous from some nonsense you filmed yourself doing. You're only going to make a fool of yourself to the whole world, and sometimes you only get one chance to give yourself fame. Thus, you will be lucky if you mess up, then get a second chance afterward. So think carefully about what you're doing...
- YouTube from now on allows at maximum fifteen minutes per video. But this doesn't mean you video has to be ten minutes long. If your video is longer than fifteen minutes in length, count the duration via minutes and divide that by fifteen and that's how many videos you'll be posting on YouTube. For example, you can post a four hour movie on YouTube. If you do, divide 240 (minutes) by 15, you will have to post sixteen videos on YouTube to fit your four hour video.
- Please note that you MUST have a profile before sending any videos to this website. If you don't have one, just get one. It's quick and easy...and it's free! What have you got to lose?
- In the middle of every video, YouTube takes a snapshot and uses that picture as a preview. It's called a video thumbnail. Now, you should TRY and make your thumbnail look entertaining. I'm not saying that you should put a picture of a hot girl in the middle of your video, but look your best throughout, and make sure you look interesting the whole way through. It's sad how people judge a video by its preview. But hey, you have to accommodate.
- Be original and put good effort into your videos. You're not going to get famous by putting up a video of you kicking your buddy in the groin, or making up the video as you go along. Be creative and make it look like you put some effort into what you're doing.
- A parody is a good idea as a first video. Parodies tend to get lots of views.
- Don't hate or block others. Few YouTubers will like you if you do.
- If you want friends go to VERY famous channels like NigaHiga, Smosh, Fred, ShaneDawsonTV or EdwardCurrend and say that you would accept all friend requests. This is a good methods to get friends and subscribers.
- Make videos you find funny, people will not think you are funny if you don't think you are funny!
- You may wish to be a YouTube partner once you're popular enough. This will put your videos higher on the related videos when somebody is watching a video.
