If you look at influencers on YouTube, they are all brands in their own right:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> MrBeast<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> PewDie Pie<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Vlad and Niki<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Like Nastya<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do we mean by \u201c<strong>create your brand<\/strong>?\u201d Well, what do you want your channel to convey?

And you want to produce the same impeccable content across channels because your brand will be known for its quality \u2013 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or lack of it<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Create a <span style=\"color: #5339d3;\">Content Strategy<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>You&#8217;ve done so much, but your content strategy is what will define your success<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. We know that your first 10 \u2013 20 videos won\u2019t receive much YouTube love, and your first 100 might not either.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But then, your channel will start to get traffic \u2013 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">trust me<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, even if no one is seeing your content, you want it to be on-brand and of the highest quality possible. You can do this by doing the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Create a spreadsheet with the following rows:<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\udca1 Idea<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\udccb Description<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\uddbc\ufe0f Thumbnail\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83c\udfa5 Recording date<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\ud83d\uddd3\ufe0f Posting date<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Fill in ideas that you know your audience will love based on the research you conducted earlier.<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Begin creating a script or getting information for each idea you list.<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Content strategies require you to be consistent and also plan ahead. You can randomly post a video that isn\u2019t on your plan, but you want a plan that will keep you accountable and help you get in the algorithm\u2019s good graces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over time, you can swap ideas in and out of a plan, but the most important thing is to have this plan to guide your channel forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>We do recommend:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Focusing heavily on your thumbnails because they\u2019re what will get you clicks.<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Adding 40 \u2013 50 ideas to start.<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Revisiting and adjusting your plan as you learn more about your audience.<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you follow your plan, because you\u2019ve done the work here and really know what your audience wants to see, you\u2019ll have a great chance of success on YouTube. Every influencer has a plan, and it\u2019s time for you to start doing what influencers do.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Set a <span style=\"color: #5339d3;\">Posting Schedule<\/span>\ud83d\uddd3\ufe0f<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Posting schedules are important and one of the areas where we see so many would-be influencers really fail<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YouTube wants you to be a television channel that posts consistently on the same day so that people tune in. Seriously. You&#8217;ll find that many influencers state that it wasn\u2019t until they were consistent that they:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Gained subscribers<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Got sponsorships<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Moved into influencer status<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What should your posting schedule be? You need to be honest with yourself about:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> How often can you realistically post quality videos?<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> What day can you dedicate to posting?<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you post on Sunday at 9 am, make Sunday the day that people know they can tune in and watch your channel. Subscribers will become cult followers when they know that you post at the same time, all the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And YouTube\u2019s algorithm will love it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Be <span style=\"color: #5339d3;\">Authentic<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People crave authenticity. They want to watch YouTube content from genuine people, so don\u2019t pretend to be someone else or try to fit into a mold you think your audience prefers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Polls show that social media users prefer content from \u201cnormal\u201d people over celebrity content. That gives you even more of an incentive to be genuine.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a serious person, be serious. If you\u2019re goofy, be silly. The most important thing is to be yourself and create content that\u2019s relevant to your niche.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>7. Stay <span style=\"color: #5339d3;\">Consistent<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most important steps in becoming a YouTube influencer is making sure that you\u2019re consistent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can\u2019t publish a video every 4-6 months and expect to hit influencer status anytime soon. Once you\u2019ve built up a big subscriber base, you can get away with posting less often.<\/span> In the meantime, you have to be posting new videos regularly to stay in the forefront of your viewers\u2019 minds.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How often should you be posting? The answer really depends on your niche. But as a general rule of thumb, <strong>you should aim to publish new videos:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Once a week<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a vlogger, you may naturally post more often or post Shorts throughout the week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend looking at what other successful YouTubers in your niche are doing. How often do they post new videos? Their posting schedule can serve as a guide for your own.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>8. <span style=\"color: #5339d3;\">Invest<\/span> in High-Quality Gear\ud83d\udcb5<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-quality video and audio equipment is more affordable than ever. You don\u2019t need to invest in professional-level gear that costs thousands of dollars.<\/span> But a quality camera, a good microphone and some lighting gear will go a long way in making your videos look and feel more professional.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\">\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Poor-quality cameras will have a noisy picture and low-resolution<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> A bad microphone \u2013 or not using a microphone at all \u2013 will make it harder for your audience to hear you<div class=\"su-spacer\" style=\"height:10px\"><\/div><\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-chevron-right\" style=\"color:#5339D3\"><\/i> Without great lighting, your videos may be too dark<\/div><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, you don\u2019t have to buy the most expensive gear you can find. If you have a high-end smartphone, you can probably use it to record your videos. But if you\u2019re serious about becoming a YouTube influencer, then you\u2019ll need to invest in better equipment at some point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It doesn\u2019t really matter what you use as long as the end product is high-quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>9. Build an <span style=\"color: #5339d3;\">Online Presence<\/span> Across Relevant Social Channels<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">YouTube has a massive reach \u2013 more than <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.6 billion<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> active users. But it\u2019s not the only place you should be building your brand and online presence. <\/span><strong>Yes,<\/strong> your goal is to be a YouTube influencer, but you can <strong>use other social platforms to promote your work,<\/strong> create more great content and build an even bigger following.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve done your audience research, then you\u2019ll know who your viewers are and where they hang out online. That will help you figure out the best social platforms to focus on apart from YouTube.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\"  style=\"border-color:#e5ddce;border-radius:14px;-moz-border-radius:14px;-webkit-border-radius:14px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#fff7e8;border-color:#ffffff;color:#000000;border-radius:14px;-moz-border-radius:14px;-webkit-border-radius:14px;\"><b>For example, <\/b>maybe your audience spends a lot of time on Instagram and TikTok. You can create accounts on these platforms and start adding content there, too.<\/div><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t necessarily have to create fresh content for these platforms, although you should if you can. Try repurposing your content instead. Taking this approach will also help you build your brand and funnel more viewers to your YouTube channel.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>10. <span style=\"color: #5339d3;\">Engage<\/span> with Your Audience<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><b>One big reason why some YouTubers reach influencer <\/b>status so quickly is because they engage with their audience. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They spend a lot of time building relationships with their subscribers and viewers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A <strong>great example<\/strong> of this is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCvK4bOhULCpmLabd2pDMtnA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Theory<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
