But how can you break into the industry and start making money yourself?

Becoming an Influencer on you tube 

Becoming a YouTube influencer is not going to be a simple journey, but just as you’ve seen in the previous chapter, there are many people who have carved out a lucrative income by doing it, and so can you—it’ll just take perseverance and determination.

Start by creating a plan of action.

This is where you’ll lay out exactly what you’re hoping to get out of building a YouTube presence. So, focus on your objectives and overall goals.

This is going to help you figure out what sort of video content you should create, and help to determine who your target audience is.

What you’re looking for is clear direction and intent so you can lay down a strong foundation for your business. And that’s exactly what becoming a YouTube influencer involves: building a targeted, flexible and rock-solid business.

best way to become you tube influencers

 

Step 1: Create a YouTube account and channel.

This is an obvious first step, but you’d be surprised how many people leave this until last.

It’s wise to start with this so that you can begin to visualize your channel’s overall brand, including your design as well as the type of graphics and thumbnails you’ll use, and of course, your content.

Set up an account and a channel name that is easy to remember and that reflects what you’re doing.

Use keywords that tell people exactly what your channel is about, or follow in the footsteps of influencers such as Marques Brownlee, who uses his initials plus the abbreviation for high definition to create his channel name: MKBHD.

It’s short handle that’s instantly recognizable across all his platforms and memorable, which is key . 

Brownlee reviews tech, so the high definition refers to his content and gives you a hint of what’s to come

Step 2: Choose Your Niche.

Next, you want to develop your channel’s goals and content which starts by defining your target audience and niche.

This isn’t always an easy task, especially if you are thinking about catering to multiple markets.

Step 3: Define Your Voice

Defining the voice of your brand and your channel is one of the most important things you’ll do, and it’s always best to start once you’ve nailed down who your average subscriber will be. Many influencers have said that in order to figure out who their market is, they created what is called a subscriber snapshot, which includes example demographic information

This would include gender, age, location, interests, passions, employment, hobbies of those who would likely be interested in your content.

The better you know your audience—and the more you drill down into your niche by creating a subscriber snapshot, the clearer your path will become because you’ll know exactly what kind of content you should create in order to maximize exposure.

Then, once you get your voice down pat, you’ll need to find content that matches that voice. The best way to develop your channel is just to be yourself 

Above all else, it’s your personality that will keep viewers subscribed (and tuning in!) to your channel, but you have to attract them there in the first place with solid content that they want to watch.

Step 4: Create Engaging Content.

Once you’re comfortable in front of the camera, it’s time to decide what sort of content you’ll create, or broadcast.

Some popular content styles include: how-to videos, product reviews, unboxing videos, and of course, gaming and makeup tutorials.

The possibilities are almost endless. Choose something that excites you so you will want to keep making more videos, and make sure it’s something other people will see as entertainment or a solution to one of their problems (educational).

You probably also want to give yourself some flexibility so you can cover trending topics in your niche.

That way you can jump on the bandwagon if a big news story breaks and other YouTubers with similar channels are talking about it. Put your unique spin on the topic even if “everyone” is covering it.

Brainstorm some ideas for your content before you jump right in. Make up a good, long list so you won’t run out of video ideas before you even get started gaining an audience.

Ask yourself what other YouTubers in your niche are doing and what content they are creating.

Now, what’s missing?

Can you put a new spin on old content or a fresh twist to something they’ve already done?

What do you have that some other (famous) YouTuber isn’t offering? Ask what problems your audience is facing in their day-to-day lives.

Aim to create content that solves those problems for them.

Step 5: Create your videos.

Often, what sets one influencer apart from the crowd is the quality of their videos. They’re not just putting out a lot of content—it’s good content.

Many professional YouTubers have a specific team for such tricks as makeup, special sets, and shooting from multiple angles. They use the best cameras and microphones, and they invest in the best editing software. Your videos don’t have to be professional quality at first, but you should make them the best you can. Your skills will grow with your experience, so expect your quality to improve over time

You also don’t need a bunch of expensive equipment to get a professional look. If you’re just getting started, you can film on any decent mobile phone and edit the video using free apps.

Just remember little tricks like using a tripod (or camera dolly) to minimize shake and give your video a more professional feel.

You can also incorporate free footage into your videos. And remember the “rule of thirds” when framing yourself in the screen: mentally divide your image with a grid composed of two horizontal and two vertical lines, breaking each section into thirds (thus, the name).

Many cameras (even on cellphones) have a setting that will do this for you as you shoot.

The rule is to place your subject near or on top of one of the lines—or at an intersection—to create balance in the photograph

Step 6: Use the algorithms.

In order for you to become successful at YouTube, obviously your content must be discovered by people who are interested in your topic And in order for that to happen, you must learn how videos get found and what you can do to optimize your own content.

This includes tricks like putting keywords into your titles and video descriptions, finding the best name for your videos, and directing your audience to keep following your channel by providing buttons at the end of each video (“Subscribe now” or “Follow me”).

Do a little research and see what keywords and phrases other YouTubers in your niche are using, then add those to your list.

Think of what questions your audience might be asking and be sure your keywords are the answers to those questions.

Also, remember to use compelling thumbnails, not just allow YouTube to select a random still frame from somewhere in the video. Select something eye-catching that will reflect your video’s content and entice the reader to watch.

Step 7: Post consistently.

When it comes to YouTube, consistency is the key.

Develop a content calendar and post regularly. Two to three times a week seems to be the magic number that results in the best growth.

Your viewers should come to expect—and count on---regular video content from your channel. Setting this expectation encourages them to pop in at specific times during the week.

It also creates accountability on your end so you won’t try to get away with skipping the video “just this once.”

A content calendar also keeps you from scrambling at the last minute to find something to post about

And finally, the bigger your library, the more time viewers will spend on your channel watching your videos. And that will only improve your algorithms

Step 8: Build a social presence

It may seem obvious, but you need to create social media pages and profiles for your video channel on every platform where your audience hangs out. Sure, Facebook, TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram are the biggest platforms, but depending on who your viewers are, you may also need to target others as well: Snapchat, Twitch, or even Pinterest.

Do your homework and find out which networks are popular with your audience, and which networks your competitors are using to advertise.

Once you have the social media platforms, fill out each form as completely as you can. Your channel’s profile page should have links to your playlist, your “highlight” reel, and your blog and/or website.

The more descriptive and informative you are in your bios, the more potential viewers will see you as an expert and want to follow you to YouTube and watch your videos.

Step 9: Evaluate (and know your metrics).

Once you get a few videos under your belt, it’s time to evaluate how well you’re doing. YouTube’s analytics software will tell you the number of watch views and comments, and the audience demographics.

This information will help you create more targeted videos that appeal directly to your audience members.

Use the Audience Retention Graphs to show your viewers’ habits and see how much of your videos they’re watching.

• Which videos did your followers engage with the most?

• What could have encouraged that engagement

• When are they clicking away from your channel?

• What sort of content can you create next that is similar to your most popular content?

Also, check your feedback.

Are there any comments or responses you can use to help you improve your channel?

Always take note when a follower comments or mentions you on their own page. Their response is a direct reflection of your audience’s sentiments for your content, and that can help you create better content that more accurately engages them.

 must have tools for you tube influencers 

In order to create high quality videos for your channel, you’re going to need some equipment.

Five pieces of equipment, to be precise: a camera, a microphone, a tripod (or gimbal), lights, and editing software.

You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars, but try to get the best you can afford.

Camera: this is perhaps the most important piece of equipment you’ll purchase, but fortunately there are many affordable options on the market.

Filmmaker Jenn Shadd recommends getting a camera that shoots in 1080p at least. Her suggestions include a decent DSLR camera like the Nikon D5600 or Canon EOS 70D

Microphone: when you’re just starting out, your cellphone or computer microphone should do just fine, but Shadd recommends getting a quality microphone as soon as you can.

Tripods : you’ll need a tripod or gimbal to stabilize your camera and give you a steady, high quality shot.

If you’re planning a mostly stationary shot, like a view of you unboxing products or interviewing people, a tripod is your best option.

Lights: Shadd suggests you utilize two softboxes, one on either side of your camera, to produce “a clean, well-produced look.”

If you’re looking to save a little money, check out right lights. They’ll give a soft “glow” to a single subject.

On the other hand, if you want a bit more control, Shadd recommends you invest in an LED kit, which will give you colour warmth and dimming options.

Editing software: editing tools are essential for a YouTuber. Shadd’s pick is Adobe Premiere Pro because it’s “straight-forward enough for novices to learn on, yet capable of satisfying the complex technical needs of professional projects.”

how to promote you tube channel as influencer

 Once you’ve found your niche and set up your channel, social media expert Heidi Dean suggests some ways you can promote your channel and videos.

Create a trailer that will auto-play for viewers not already subscribing to your channel. According to Dean, trailers that are “short, exciting, and [that] end with a call to action to subscribe” are the ones that work out best.

Add a subscribe link – an automated pop-up that lets viewers simply click to subscribe. Dean calls this “the secret sauce for increasing subscribers.”
Create branded watermarks for all your videos and link them so your viewers can subscribe by clicking them.

Create “bright, high-resolution, compelling thumbnails overlaid with the title of your video” to make your videos stand out from the crowd.

Your title should be short enough so the viewer will type it into the search bar. “Pro tip,” says Dean, “only the first 45 characters of your title are viewable in search.”

how to influence on you tube 

The good news is that you don’t necessarily need to have millions of followers to monetize your YouTube channel.

There are many brands out there who are looking for “micro-influencers” —YouTubers who have a smaller, but very loyal, audience base.

Start by becoming familiar with things like your engagement rate, conversion rate, demographic information, and any other analytics you think might be relevant.

Keep records of these statistics so you have some evidence to show prospective brand partners. Then, you’ll need to identify those brands you want to work with.

Which companies have values and goals that are aligned with your own?

You can make money either through advertising or sponsorship. Advertising is still one of the main ways of monetizing your channel.

Once you’ve reached 1,000 subscribers and have 4,000 watch hours in the past 12 months, you’ll qualify for YouTube’s partner program, which allows you to monetize your channel with advertisements that play during the video.

But one of the most effective strategies is sponsorship, where you are paid by a brand to advertise their products on your videos.

You can either create entire videos devoted to the products or feature those products during your regular videos

In effect, you’ll become a spokesperson for their brand. And when you’re partnered with a brand, you can also make money through affiliate links, where you get a commission when your viewers click on a link to the brand and make a purchase there.

You can convince these brands to partner with you by using two different methods: direct or indirect contact.

Direct contact should be self-explanatory. You reach out to the company yourself, giving your evidence to prove they should be working with you.

This is your best move if you want to be proactive. Be sure that your reasons make sense to the brand.

For example, if you’re reviewing tech products, it doesn’t make much sense to try to ally yourself with a dressmaker.

However, if you’re planning on advertising their products by modelling the outfits in your videos, they might go along with it.

YouTube can be quite lucrative for people who understand how their platform works and how to utilize their own skills to their best advantage. If you pay attention to some of the top YouTube influencers, you’ll see that they make influencing their job, working nearly round-the-clock to network and gain more exposure for themselves and their channels.

You’ll see them attending exclusive events and hobnobbing with celebrities. Many of them have six-figure yearly earnings.

The question is: how can you join them?
