How to have a successful YouTube carrer! A guide by Obee.

**obee** · 02-28-2015, 12:38 PM

So, I noticed a lot of you guys do YouTube, and here are some tips to get you some subs!

Play multiple games. If you watch a lot of Youtubers, most of them play several amounts of games. Lots of varying content can get you more subscribers and views.
Upload consistently. This is one of the huge things for any youtuber. Setting up an upload schedule and following it can help your channel a lot. Lot's of people unsubscribe to channels because there are a lack of uploads, or it isn't consistent. Set a schedule like this.

Monday- Clash of Clans
Tuesday- Arcane Legends
Wednesday- Minecraft
Etc...Now, you don't have to upload daily, by I would still keep a solid schedule.
3. Put quality into your videos. I'm going to show you a thumbnail of one of my favorite Youtubers. Name: mqdefault.jpg
Views: 310
Size: 16.6 KB

Name: mqdefault.jpg
Views: 310
Size: 16.6 KB

Now, as you can see just from the thumbnail, a lot of effort has been put into this video. Now, you don't have to go into work making a thumbnail like that, but don't use the thumbnails YouTube uses. Go ahead and try to make a custom thumbnail. These make your videos look more professional, and it could draw more interest. Also, if you are going to voice record along with your content, make sure your voice is clear and not choppy.
4. Don't give up. It takes a long time before people start building subs. Keep trying, and soon you could get there. Youtube is hard, since there are so many other people trying to get to where you wanna go but you can do it! Keep doing it!
Bonus: If you want to make your uploads faster, use this software:https://handbrake.fr/downloads.php And follow this video for instructions:
Also, I recommend streaming on twitch to get even more viewers on both Youtube and twitch. On Twitch, you can receive donations and subscriber money from other people, which can help out your channel.
Last but not least, if you want to record console, games you will need a computer, a capture card (get one from elgato gaming), and your console of course. Enjoy!
Obee, the fun loving mage.

Also, by chance if you have an IOS device and a mac, you can plug in your device into the mac, use quicktime, and you can record your IOS device on the mac. The quality is very high, and you can use handbrake to get the video size down.

Nothing.

We know this is kinda off-topic but it does have to do with AL, many people do vids about it.
*I'm going to give some names of programs if you want to record/edit vids, as you can probably imagine there are many SCR and not all of them are free and good quality.*
-Recording screen on Windows download Bandicam it's a good Screen Recorder, although you need to purchase the full version if you want to do longer videos, the free version is 10 minutes long. I got the full version without paying and if you really want this SCR pm on forums ill be glad to help you to download it.
-I use Windows Movie Makerwhich is quite cool to edit vids you just need to practice a little bit!-
-----------------
If you want to screen record your smartphone I really don't know any screen recorder that doesn't require root except for Mobizen, however this scr needs a Plugin which if you have a Samsung phone it's your lucky day because there is one plugin: "Samsung plugin 1.6v.
And you're ready to post yours videos!
As Obee said YouTube Channels require a lot of patience as well time, specially editing videos it's not so easy as you think

Good luck all!

I suggest the use of Hypercam for screen recording. I made an SL video with that... and you can record for hours... it's just free.

I suggest the use of Camtasia for video editing, it's really good one. Professional. Made some short movie with that, and I use it for some school works.

The links below go to Official websites. Don't download from other places.

Can you show us what did you accomplish using this advice?

**Dragoonclaws** · 02-28-2015, 10:33 PM

Sure!

A step in Dragoon's life. I enjoyed SL soo much. This is very nostalgic

Trailer to the short Movie I made. There is a link to the movie in the trailer

A school work, it's about the charter of value in Quebec... it was controversial. (Activate captions with CC)

@those who saw the short movie: It was shooted in Montreal and in Morocco (and it's featuring my brother Adib). They gave me the sequences they shooted, last minute and I was given the responsability to do the whole editing. For a first short movie, I was pretty proud

Nice guide Obee. Liked reading the short descripted and stimulating post. I just got a new video editing app, which turns out to be a very simple, professional, and a very easy to handled app on win 8, not sure if any other windows user is able to download it, but If u want me to put up the link, Let me know whahaha.

EDIT: for a viDeo editor app, hit my signature links.
