Steps
- Rethink the whole situation. Being a YouTube partner is a tough achievement and it takes months (maybe years) of commitments. Are you ready to take on all the criticism? Keep in mind what you think could be entertainment might backfire. But remember to do what you think is fun!
- Save money for quality equipment. This isn't a must to get more views, but it can be good to have the right equipment anyhow. You need editing software, cameras, microphones, lighting and props. Sometimes you can rent out locations to film, just as an example.
- Write a script. Keep in mind that if you don't think it's funny; there is a big chance it's not. Also don't rip off famous YouTubers and movies. Make sure the audio in your videos aren't copyrighted. You might get complaints in the comments. Or even a warning or two.
- Dress up for the filming. It sounds superficial but it might be true in some ways. Most people get attracted to looks, and that's what might bring them to watch in first hand. You don't have to go all out if you aren't confident enough or just don't want to. All that matters is, after all; the subject of your video and how you entertain.
- Film scenes repeatedly. Most likely you won't get your scenes perfect on the first try. Pick the best scenes of your filmed material and add effects if you like.
- Try getting as many people to view it and have feedback. Don't however, force people to like it or comment. Try to get them to tell the truth and not sugar coat it if you do.
- Create an alternative account. This one will be you casually just filming around. You can still edit the bits you don't like. Maybe get a friend to join in.
- Include other websites to promote yourself. Facebook, Google+, Twitter and other popular websites.
- Sell merchandise. But only do this as you have received a big fanbase. If you got the money already it's fine. Try to find manufacturers to make shirts. This is only when you are getting known pretty well. If you would like to, try making a iPhone app.
- Cross with other famous YouTube celebrities. It might get hard to get a hold of them if you are not well known already. If you hit about 1,000,000 subscribers then ... you might try. Who knows?
- Make a website that has many interesting things rolling in. It will be easier to keep up with everything at one site, than many others at once.
- Watch the opportunities roll in. When YouTube gives you an opportunity to become a partner, think it through. If it is your thing, please do go for it! Do not care about the haters, make sure to live of that love!
Tips
- Ignore haters. They are usually kids that have nothing better to do than to criticism others because they are insecure themselves. Think of these people as unfortunate lost souls and let them be.
- Always be aware that what you do on YouTube could offend someone. Keep away from sexism, racism and the really- really dark humour.
- Don't suddenly stop making videos unannounced if you got a big fan-base. People will be inpatient, and they do care a lot. Just make sure to tell people.
- Have a shout-out to people you like, but only if you want to do so yourself!
- Make fun of yourself. Everyone loves it when someone's being themselves, has flaws like everyone else and can laugh things off. Just remember to be yourself and you'll do just fine!
Warnings
- Remember that there will always be somebody out there who does not know you, who will try to get you down. They will say rude things, and act like your typical hater. Just remember they have nothing on you.
- Don't hate on someone specific. Do not put people into categories without explaining yourself thoroughly. People might get offended!
- It can backfire, but don't worry, that has to happen sooner or later...it can only get better from there!
