31.Consistent Posting
A look at some of the most popular YouTube
channels will reveal that all of them are
consistent with their posts. When you launch a
channel, you cannot afford to wait for perfection
in every single video. Ideally, you should
identify your resource availability and come up
with a posting schedule that is convenient for
you. Ensure that you stick to the schedule and
deliver consistent content. When you force
yourself to be productive for the first few days
of your YouTube journey, and over time, it
translates into a habit.

42.Doing the Homework
These days, you do not need a degree in
filmmaking to create professional-quality videos.
Do your homework and study content from
television and OTT platforms like Netflix or
Prime. Watching quality content will give you
lessons in lighting, production quality, camera
angles, etc. You can then incorporate these in
your YouTube videos and give a boost to your
video quality.

53.Gearing Up
- No battle can be won unarmed, and video making is
no exception to this. While you do not need the
most advanced tools in your initial days, you do
need a few basic pieces of types of equipment. - Get yourself a camcorder that has in-built
stabilization, a 50 X optical zoom range, and a
minimum of 1080p video resolution. Choose an APS
C sensor with a maximum 1.6 crop factor. - If you want to skip the camcorder and use your
smartphone, make sure that your phone is equipped
with in-built stabilization, has low-light
compatibility, and a minimum resolution of 13MB.
We recommend that you use a device with storage
of at least 128 GB. - For those who intend to use a digital camera,
choose a device with a minimum resolution of 1080
p. Fixed lens with optical zoom work well, and
you must focus on a device with mice input. That
way, you can connect an external mice to the
camera for your recording purposes. - If budget is not a constraint and you want to
settle for the best, choose a user-friendly DSLR
camera. We recommend sensors in the ISO range of
25,600. Pick a DSLR that can shoot at 24 to 60
fps and has the provision of autofocus in video.

64.Setting The Right Benchmark
While consistency is an important aspect of your
YouTube channel, you need to pay due attention to
the video quality as well. To set the correct
quality benchmark, you need to be ready to chop
off the parts that compromise the quality of the
video. Ensure that your video clip goes through
multiple layers of editing so that only the best
quality content reaches your viewers eyes.

75.Avoiding Overdoing It
When you set out to create your YouTube channel,
you should pay special attention to the fact that
there should not be any over-editing. While 3D
effects and contrast graphics help you illustrate
a point, they may not be necessary for every
video that you create. For the best results, go
for a simple setup and process. That way, the
viewer will get the videos raw feel, which will
cause them to relate better to the content.

86.Establishing a Pattern
A YouTube channel will have multiple videos, and
you must have some uniformity among your videos.
The use of brand colors, logos, taglines, or a
particular type of music will help establish a
brand image. That way, when a viewer stumbles
across one of your videos, they will relate it to
the channel. It will boost your brand visibility
and make your channel popular.

97.Transcribing Your Video
You must transcribe all the video content that
you post on YouTube. Search engines do not index
captions, and that is why the transcription
boosts your online visibility. From the viewer's
perspective, the transcriptions enable your video
to reach users who have their devices on mute,
are hearing impaired, or do not speak the
language of the video. Studies establish that the
addition of captions results in a 7.32 increase
in the views of YouTube videos.

108.SEO Optimization of Video
The addition of primary keywords to the video
title and secondary keywords in the description
gives a major boost to the online visibility of
your video. Pay special attention to the
description section, as this will help a
potential viewer get a perspective about your
video. You can further optimize your video by
adding tags that categorize the videos and help
in ensuring that it reaches the target audience.

119.Adding Call-to-Actions(CTAs) and YouTube Cards
CTAs and YouTube cards are powerful tools to
direct your viewers into watching other relevant
content. If your YouTube channel has videos that
are related to each other, you can leverage CTAs
at the end of the video to guide the user. With
YouTube Analytics, you can identify points in
your video where the viewers are the most likely
to drop off. You can add YouTube cards at such
points to direct the user into watching some
other video from your channel.
