According to stats gathered in 2020, people watch about 5\nbillion videos on YouTube every single day. Looking at this fact alone, a\npotential YouTuber might be inspired. \u201cGiven that these many videos are watched\ndaily, it shouldn\u2019t be that hard for my video to get views, right?”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, the truth is far from this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Almost 99% of the videos on the platform do not get 1000 views.\nIt makes more sense when they understand that approximately 300 minutes’ worth\nof video is uploaded every minute. Yes, every minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What people need to understand is that with each passing day,\nYouTube is getting more crowded. This is where procrastination can come back to\nbite. Many popular YouTubers these days seem to undermine how difficult it is\nto make decent money on the platform. Deceived by false information, people,\nespecially the youth in India, set out and expect to make money right from the\nstart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting monetized isn\u2019t everything. This is just the first step\nthat people need to cross to start making money on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trusted services like SocioBlend, that help grow people\u2019s\nYouTube account can only do so much. Once someone gets monetized, they are on\ntheir own to consistently produce quality content to ensure they beat the\nalgorithm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s look at the algorithm. In simple terms, the algorithm can\nmake or break you. Beat the algorithm, and they will have multiple viral videos\ngetting hundreds and thousands of views daily. Get beaten by the algorithm, and\ntheir videos get buried in the depths of an ocean of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is all hope lost?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Well, not exactly. An aspiring YouTuber needs to keep a few\nthings in mind before deciding to move forward into this platform. These might\nseem obvious to some aspiring YouTubers, but many often overlook such key\npoints. It tends to happen because of the excitement of making money and\nbecoming famous. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. It is not easy money<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"money\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

YouTube is not easy money. Yes, it is passive income after a certain point, but it is not easy to get it to that level. Going onto YouTube hoping to make quick bucks has never gotten anyone anywhere. Aspiring YouTubers need to be prepared to see close to no money for a while before videos start to make any cash.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Services that boost online presence can only do so much<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A YouTuber should not aim solely to get monetized. They should\nhave a game plan that extends far beyond getting monetized. Services like SocioBlend<\/a> can help get the\naccount monetized, but it is up to the person involved to make sure that people\nfind their videos. These are services, not magicians. Do not invest in such\nservices if you aren\u2019t serious about posting quality content because the ROI in\nsuch situations is non-existent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Maintain a healthy balance between quality and quantity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Every YouTuber is at the mercy of the algorithm and has to\nproduce content that doesn\u2019t go against it. This doesn\u2019t mean creators can get\naway with sub-par content. It is the responsibility of the creator to maintain\na healthy balance between quality and quantity. As a general rule of thumb, aim\nto upload anywhere in between 1-3 times a week. This keeps the channel relevant\nand hence helps it find its way into people\u2019s recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. YouTube requires time<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"patience<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is where most youngsters go wrong. Rome wasn\u2019t built in a\nday and neither was a popular channel. New creators have to give the platform\ntime. People who aren\u2019t willing to put in the time and effort to grow their\nchannels are not YouTubers. Stick to it long enough, stay consistent, and it\nwill start to snowball soon enough.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Failure is inevitable<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aspiring YouTubers need to understand that failure is part of\nthe package. Rarely do people start from scratch and become YouTube-famous\nwithout even a single fail. Those might come in different forms, the most\ncommon being a failed video. Choose to learn from previous mistakes and post\nquality content consistently. Failures are genuinely the stepping stones to\nsuccess (Clich\u00e9, but true).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Conclude\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube is an amazing platform for anyone to looking to build\ntheir brand, grow their online presence, and spread awareness about a\nparticular service or product. While it might seem overwhelming at first, it is\ndo-able. While many channels spread false information about how easy it is to\nget on YouTube, many are transparent. Look out for such channels and listen to\ntheir journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It might not be easy, but it is worth it. And, if existing\ntestimonies are anything to go by, YouTube is an investment that yields results\nin the long run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
