A Beginner’s Guide To Making Youtube Videos

Check the age group your video targets

Not all videos are meant for everyone. The content of the video determines the age group. If the video contains some animations depicting a story, then its targets are below 12. For more action-based videos, the age group is higher. For adult content, the age group targeted must be 18 or higher. Also, if you want to make some videos that promote business, it should target people who have the understanding to understand them. When you upload your video, the checklist requires you to define the age group of your viewer. Also, a video meant for kids does not allow the viewers to comment on the video. They can only comment if the video is meant for adults.

Add a thumbnail for more viewership

Before any viewer sees a video, they need to know what the video is all about. The video name provides the initial detail of the video. If the viewer gets interested in the video’s name, they might see the video or read the description associated with it. 

Another effective way to attract the viewer to the video is to add a self-explanatory thumbnail to it. The thumbnail must have the video’s name, a few more descriptions, and a picture depicting its content. You can add a lot of colors to attract the viewer’s eye. The thumbnail will give the viewer an overall idea about the content of your video.

Make short videos for business purposes

If you are making videos to promote some business, you must highlight the business’s specific features. Viewers do not take an interest in watching promotional videos generally. Therefore, you need to walk the extra mile of attracting their eyes. It is important to make these promotional videos short, with a duration of around 30 seconds. You need to stuff all your contents within this 30 seconds frame and not make it look over-stuffed. 

You cannot feed in all information because that will make the video boring. You can feature some of the hot-selling products on your video, or the newcomers or the upcoming ones. You can also include some new offers or discounts. It is important to make the videos entertaining so that the viewers remain glued to their seats. It is better to opt for some online video editing software like InVideo to make such videos. Such software has all the exciting features to make the promotional video attractive. After making the video in such software, you can upload it on Youtube.

Make your video shareable on other social media platforms

The success of a Youtube video lies in its viewership. The more the number of viewers, the more it is a hit. An effective way to increase the viewership of a Youtube video is to share it on different social media platforms. Youtube allows all channel owners to share their videos on different social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. If you do not find your social media website on Youtube’s list, you can also copy the link and share it on your desired platform. 

Target those platforms where you have maximum potential viewers. Also, you can ask your regular viewers to subscribe to your channel. Such subscriptions will notify your subscribers whenever you put up a video. Your subscriber list will also grow once your channel becomes a hit. 

The career of a Youtuber is very exciting and fruitful. If you want to be a Youtuber, get more subscribers and viewer hours for all your videos. Once you become a sensation on Youtube, there is no looking back for you.
