Who would’ve thought. A platform, that shares videos would be so popular.
A simple idea. Tested by the founders of YouTube, by uploading a video of them at the zoo. And then… boom! people wanted to watch it. And it got popular. Quick. More and more people started uploading and more and more people started watching.
Not just that.
People have made good money from it!
Take Mr Matt Armstrong as a UK YouTuber example.
His first few videos were of him fixing a Audi A3 in his driveway. He wasn’t sure why people would even want to watch it! But he filmed it, and put it on YouTube. Guess what, people did want to watch it. And then he made more videos. More people watched it. And so…. he’s now fixing multi-million pound super cars like Lamborghini’s and Ferrari’s. He’s even been able to purchase his dream home, a new garage, etc… He’s got people working for him!
So what’s the secret?
- It’s all about what you’re good at!
- Your niche. Your passion. Your hobby. That’s what will make you successful.
- Finance, Cars, Football, etc… whatever it is, specialise in one area and explore it to the fullest!
- Engage with your audience!
- Matt is always asking his audience how to fix something or help with something – people out there may know a little more than you and that’s ok!
- Ask questions, film videos with them, etc…
- Consistency wins!
- Keep producing and sharing videos!
- Don’t give up after a few
- Branch out from YouTube but keep your channel going with content
- What will keep you audience tuning in?
- Level up! Get onto bigger challenges! Bigger better bolder!
- There’s YouTubers who keep pushing boundaries!
And remember… it’s not too late!
I’m sure you’ve got a skill people would want to learn from.
There was a gentleman who started a channel aimed for young boys who don’t have fathers, teaching them fatherly things such as shaving, changing a tire, etc…
If you started a channel tomorrow… what would it be about?
