10 BEGINNER TIPS IF YOU’RE STARTING OUT ON YOUTUBE IN 2020

1. Be consistent about posting videos

sTARTING OUT ON YOUTUBE IN 2020 The best tip I can give you is to get your stuff out there!

Making good videos takes practice and you’ll only get better if you keep at it. If you tell yourself “this video is not good enough”, “it still needs more editing”, “it doesn’t look like what I envisioned”, then you’ll never publish anything!

I can’t watch the videos I filmed 3 years ago because they look pretty bad – the outdated transitions, the zooming in and out, the awkwardness of being in front of the camera for the first time – but we shared those videos online, kept making some more, and I like to think I slowly improved along the way.

If you want to get into video you need to have a goal. That may be publishing 1 video a month or publishing 2 videos a week. Set a goal that you know you’ll be able to accomplish, and do your best to stick to it. You may not always feel 100% satisfied with the result, but it’s important that you get your video out there and get started on the next project. Create A Digital Marketing Strategy.

2. Learn to press the delete button

Starting out on youtube in 2020 What you take out is just as important as what you leave in.

Once of the things that can kill a potentially good video is too much of the same thing. Just because you shot 10 clips of the Eiffel Tower from slightly different vantage points doesn’t mean you have to include every single piece of footage in your video. Choose the best shots and then delete the rest.

If you show too much of the same and the footage starts to feel a bit repetitive, viewers will lose interest and move on to something else. Your job is to keep the viewer engaged, even if it means parting with some of your files.

3. Stop comparing yourself to others

There are always going to be channels that are more popular, more experienced, or more skilled than yours. You can either look at these channels for inspiration on how you want to film and what you want to achieve, or you can let it immobilize you with self-doubt and not publish anything, ever.

Obviously the latter isn’t what you want to have happen.

Just remember that every channel out there started in the very same place as you: no subscribers, no views, no audience. Yes, even the channels who have over 1 million subscribers and now make their living exclusively off of YouTube – they too were right were you are today.

4. Learn how to use OBS STARTING OUT ON YOUTUBE IN 2020

• Free and Open SourceThis unique and fully feature streaming platform is a free and fully open source to use. You can freely download its software from its website and start using without paying anything to anyone. Most of the other streaming services require paid membership or you have to purchase plans before using them. So, A fully trusted and tested software giving you a service fully free is a big thing to be noticed.
• High-Quality Video and Audio StreamingAll the video you will stream with OBS studio will be full resolution and you can also reduce their quality according to your need. We will know the whole process of video streaming in the video section below. So, if you are streaming with the official streaming channels from any website, they will compress the videos to reduce data consumptions. But in OBS studio you can transmit video and audio according to your preferences.
• Multiple Plugins SupportIt is fully packed for all the streaming and recording operations although it is simple enough to use. But if you want to add some more features to it. There are lots of plugins available to use in OBS studio.

But if you use OBS studio, you can control almost every action with the help of its hotkey support. You can customize these hotkeys by going to hotkey section in its setting. This thing makes OBS studio more effective to use.
• Studio ModeFor the reason, it is named as a studio. This is one of the best things I like about this software. You can adjust, edit or recreate scenes or images before streaming them online. You adjust them by your choice so that people can see what you want them to see. OBS studio.

5. Don’t forget to do SEO on your videos STARTING OUT ON YOUTUBE IN 2020

Starting out on youtube in 2020 If you want your videos to actually rank on YouTube (which allows viewers to find you), you need to do a bit more than just upload your content.

I know so many YouTubers who shoot really great videos, but they don’t help their content rank on YouTube. Filming and editing may be 90% of the work, but it’s the final 10% that’s going to allow people to find you.

What does this mean?

1) Give your video a descriptive title.

You want something that explains exactly what your video is about and gets keywords in the title. “VLOG #1: Yodelaho!!!!!” is not so great, but “Driving the road to Pike peak in Colorado springs” might actually get you somewhere.

2) Use tags.

Tags are keywords that will help people find your video. Since we’re rolling with the example of “Driving the road to Pike Peak in Colorado srping’s”, you could use keywords like: Pike Peak highway, road trip, scenic drive, coastal drive,  Colorado srping’s, travel. Get the picture?

3) Write a description.

Tell me what your video is about. Better yet, tell YouTube what your video is about. That little description box under your video gives you plenty of room to write a search engine-friendly description, so don’t be sparse with your words.

6. Don’t worry about having the fanciest camera out there

It’s not about the camera you have, it’s about what you do with your camera to tell a story.

That being said, two main considerations when choosing a camcorder or camera should be audio and image stabilization. Audio is really important because you want your viewers to be able to hear what you’re saying clearly rather than picking up muffled background noises, and image stabilization is also important because no one enjoys watching jerky filming that makes you dizzy.

These days Sam and I shoot with a camcorder because it suits our on-the-go style (it’s the Panasonic HC-X920 in case you’re interested), but don’t go off and get that just because it’s what we use. You really need to think about your filming style, the video quality you want, and the final result that you’re looking to achieve. For us that means shooting with a camcorder, but I know a lot of YouTubers who prefer the glossy / saturated footage you get with a dSLR.

7. Don’t neglect audio

Now that I’ve told you that you don’t need a fancy camera, I’m going to tell you to actually think about audio, because if there’s one thing that can completely ruin a video, it’s not being able to hear what you are saying. Biggest pet peeve! So here is some of the audio equipment that i use Blue Yeti USB Microphone

8. Use simple editing software

Since these YouTube tips are geared at people who are just starting out, I’m going to say choose a simple editing software that isn’t going to cause you a mental breakdown every time you try to edit a video. You don’t need to go out and buy Final Cut Pro; if this is your first time editing video, it’ll likely slow you down, confuse you, and leave you in a puddle of tears.

I think there’s a place for advanced video editing software, but it’s probably best to keep it simple if you are just starting out and have no prior editing experience, But for my more advanced You tubers I suggest using Camtasia 9 one of the best editing software.

9. Be social, share, and collaborate

YouTube is a very community driven platform so go out there and make some friends. Find channels you like and leave a comment – but not spammy comments like ‘Cool video!’ or ‘Awesome stuff, man’. Take a genuine interest in people and the content they are producing, and others will take an interest in you too.

Also, don’t forget to share your videos. If you hit the share tab underneath a video, you’ll notice that it can be shared across 13 different social platforms – that certainly gives you a lot of options! And let’s not forget the embed tab that allows you to share your video (perhaps on your blog) in custom sizes. If you want to get more views on your videos, don’t just upload them and then forget about them – get social!

Lastly, this is a community where people love to collaborate, so if you find a channel that has a similar niche, you could potentially reach out and see if you can work on a video together and cross-promote each other (once you get to know them a bit better, of course). Don’t just spring that on YouTubers the first time you visit someone’s channel; that’s like saying ‘I love you’ on a first date.

10. Don’t let negative comments affect you.

The thing about social media is that anyone can say whatever they feel like saying and just hide behind a nameless gravatar.

Creating videos and sharing them with the world puts you in a vulnerable position. You are basically opening yourself up to an audience of complete strangers and giving them a glimpse of your life. It can be a bit scary because you never know who’s watching or what their reactions are going to be, but that’s a chance you take when creating video. Remember everyone has an opinion, if you focus on the negative it will effect you.

All you can do is create content you are proud of, focus on the positive words you get from viewers, and ignore anything that isn’t constructive.

And those are just a few of the things I’ve learned about making videos and sharing content on YouTube. Now I’d love to hear from you guys and what you think about video. Get out their an start making some great you tube video’s wishing you the best luck your friend Tim Christensen
