1. Make sure you are eligible to work as a YouTuber

One of the reasons for failure in life in general and in the world of the Internet in particular, is to work in disciplines or areas that are not suitable for our skills, capabilities, or knowledge.

Of course, no human being can achieve success in anything that does not possess the skills and capabilities of his own.

In the world of YouTube, you also find many Arab youth trying to create YouTube channels, and soon you will find that they fail to achieve anything of success.

When you examine these reasons for failure, you will find that, on top of that, many enter the YouTube game out of imitating others, or to search for quick fame, or for other non-objective motives.

Yes, benefiting from the experiences of others is an important component of success on YouTube, and also the search for fame is a legitimate right for everyone (with some reservations), but in any case, real success on YouTube cannot be built with these two motivations alone.

But success on YouTube is built on passion and interest on the one hand, and knowledge and possession of the required capabilities, skills and tools on the other.

This point may seem frustrating to some, but here are some points that may help you get through it well:

In fact, there are a lot of other ways to profit from the Internet that you can choose from, and achieve meaningful financial income. Be flexible and be able to reach your financial goals in the way that best matches your capabilities and circumstances.

2. Make sure the quality item

Quality is the first and most important element of success on YouTube. Today's Internet user is not satisfied with videos that are not at the expected level.

In fact, if you do not provide videos of the highest quality and efficiency, no one will pay attention to you, and this includes YouTube itself as a system that has special standards that must be present in every video that appears in front of its users.

It is worth noting here that quality is an important element in answering the question of how much profit from YouTube , because the higher your videos are, the more loyal viewers you will get, and thus a higher level of profits.

Quality here includes a lot of aspects, and it really is an element that deserves a separate article because of its many details, information and ideas.

But here I will address a set of the most important points that you should pay attention to, and make sure that you take them into account in your channel and videos before you start promoting them.

a) Make your channel look like a professional channel

This includes designing a professional channel image that expresses it and the content provided, as well as designing a channel icon that serves as a distinctive brand that distinguishes the channel from others.

Also, a professional description of the channel must be written that briefly explains to visitors what this channel offers, what is its goal and an introduction about it, and about those in charge of it.

Also, using the feature to highlight content, and make organized playlists, will help your channel appear professionally in front of YouTube users.

b) Create videos of the highest quality and efficiency

This includes high quality videos in terms of sound and image, and the use of advanced video editing and video editing programs . It also provides high quality content that serves its purpose at the best possible level.

Putting more effort into writing a good script for the video, reviewing and making improvements to it, and avoiding unjustified lengthening padding are important points, which greatly contribute to raising the quality of the videos.

Also, the attractive style, adding humor, and the ability to appear professionally are important factors in raising the quality of the videos.

Now that you are sure that you do not have problems with your YouTuber capabilities or with the quality of your channel and what you offer, you can begin your marketing efforts with confidence.

Here is a list of the most important ways to promote your YouTube channel or videos:

1. Optimize your channel and videos for YouTube and other search engines (SEO)

One of the primary sources of views for every YouTube channel is the YouTube search engine itself, where a YouTube user searches for a video that talks about a topic, your video appears in the search results, and you get viewed.

In fact, the YouTube search engine is not the only search engine through which you can get views for your channel, but also Google is one of the excellent sources of views.

Google search results often contain videos from YouTube, you must have experienced this for yourself. There are also many other search engines that show YouTube videos in their search results.

Fortunately, SEO for YouTube videos is not quite as complicated as SEO for websites .

It is worth noting that search engines rely on a set of factors to rank search results called ranking factors.

In fact, YouTube does not advertise these elements to the creator, but according to the experiences and opinions of experts, these are some of the most important elements that YouTube relies on to rank video search results:

Video quality in terms of sound and image

How long the viewer stays in the video.

Video title

Video description

Comments size

What did the video get, like or not?

Video length

The channel's subscriptions after watching the video.

Here are some of the most important points that you should consider to improve the SEO of your YouTube channel and videos:

a) Take action to optimize your channel for search engines

Creating a YouTube channel optimized for search engines starts with choosing a channel name that is easy to memorize, and does not contain meaningless numbers or symbols.

But in any case, there are some points that you should consider to make your channel compatible with SEO standards, and the most important of them are:

1. Write a detailed description of your channel and the content you provide

The channel description is a very important element to help search engines understand its nature and .

the content it provides.

Brand your channel

The channel image and channel icon are among the most important elements that help your channel appear as a professional channel in front of viewers and search engines together.

3. Feed your YouTube channel with new videos constantly

It's been proven that a channel with more videos will have the priority to appear in search results.

Unlike channels that contain few videos.

Also, the element of consistency in feeding the channel with videos in a consistent manner (once a week, for example), is a very important element in the visitor's experience, and in strengthening YouTube's confidence in the channel's seriousness and desire to continue.

4. Make playlists and give them a proper title and description

Playlists are very important to make YouTube understand the nature of the content you provide in your channel, especially in channels that deal with big topics in separate episodes (separate videos).

5. Put your contact details, links to your site and pages on other social networking sites

The rule here is: the more complete and clear all the data is, the more the channel looks like it can be trusted.

6. Create a blog for your YouTube channel and publish every new video there

One of the most important strategies that you can use with a little effort and time, is to get more views.

It is: to make a blog on a free blogging site such as WordPress , and put your video in it with some text that describes what you provide in these videos.

You can also expand this strategy by submitting topics or articles that talk about the same topic as your channel, and you place your videos on it from time to time.

This will get you visitors from search engines to the blog, and these visitors will turn into viewers of your videos.

b) Make videos based on keywords you have a request for

Keywords , or keyword phrases, are the main or focal words that your video is about.

Many people create videos randomly without taking into account the keywords, so their videos do not appear in search results.

As for you, you should do a search for the keywords that viewers use to reach your videos.

There are a lot of free and paid tools through which you can find out what search words YouTube users are using, and how often they are searched.

Among these tools are:

YouTube Search Keyword Suggestion: Try typing a single word for the topic of the video you want to create in the YouTube search rectangle, and you will get a drop-down list containing a lot of suggestions for keyword phrases that are most used by YouTube users.

Use the Google tool to search for keywords .

Use one of the paid professional keyword research tools, such as the keywordtool tool .

1. Use the keyword video smartly

One of the most important places to use the keyword when posting any video are:

Video description

Video Tags

2. Put all your efforts and capabilities to produce high-quality videos at all levels

We have addressed this point in another place before, but we put it here, because it is one of the important factors that YouTube takes in the ranking of search results.

The quality includes high quality picture, clear sound, good editing, and an attractive introduction and conclusion that leaves a good impression on the viewer.

On the other hand, you should raise the quality of your video content as well, by working hard, researching, and always working to develop your skills according to your channel’s specialty.

3. Encourage viewers of your videos to interact and hit the like button and subscribe to the channel

Internet users in general need a pinch in order to take action, so at the end of each video invite viewers by pressing the subscribe button to the channel.

4. Use Custom Thumbnails

When you upload a new YouTube video, the YouTube system automatically selects a group of images taken from the video, in order to choose one of them as a cover for your video.

These images selected by the YouTube system may not be of a high quality level, or ideally suit the content of the video. So YouTube allows you to upload an image from your device to set it as Custom Thumbnails.

Take advantage of this feature to create a professional, high-quality image that expresses the content of each video of yours.

5. Pay attention to your video description

The video description is complementary but very important to the success of your video.

You can put keywords in it, you can put links to your blog or site in it, and you can also make a text narrative of the video content.

Note: We will not talk about the title of the video here because we will dedicate a special section to it below. 

2. Use social networking sites to reach the largest possible number of views

Use social media

Here I will clarify some detailed points, which will help you make the best possible use of social networking sites in marketing your YouTube channel.

Thus, getting as many views as possible for your videos.

1. Use the hashtag feature when sharing your video on social media.

The hashtag feature for those who do not know it, is a feature found in most social networking sites, especially Facebook and Twitter.

As it allows the communication of all those who are interested in one topic, even if they did not communicate between them before, through the possibility of converting any word into a link by adding the window mark before it.

And when you click on this link, you can see posts by people who are not your friends, but who use the same hashtag.

2. Do not rely on one social networking site, but promote your YouTube video on the largest number of social networking sites.

3. Link all your pages on social networking sites to your YouTube channel

. Almost all social networking sites allow their users to put links to their sites or pages on other social networking sites.

Create an official page for your channel on the most popular social networking sites, and include the channel link in the page settings section.

4. Use the short videos feature to intelligently market your YouTube channel

. Most social media sites now, especially Facebook, allow users to upload videos directly to the site.

Accordingly, YouTube videos get a very weak share of appearances in publications, and videos uploaded directly to the site get the lion's share.

The appropriate and most successful strategy according to these circumstances is to make a summary video of the YouTube video, and upload it to other social media sites such as Facebook and Instagram.

You can promote your channel or videos by indicating in the video itself to the channel that it contains the entire video, and you can also put the link to the video or channel above the summary video.

3. Choose a smart title for your videos

Choose a smart title for your videos

The Egyptian folk proverb tells us that “the answer is lost from its title”, so is the title of the YouTube video, which makes the first impression of what the video contains.

In fact, creating the perfect video title is not as easy as some think, it is a very sensitive element in the success or failure of the video, and it must be given enough attention to do its job.

I had previously written an article on the 14 Most Powerful Irresistible Title Writing Strategies , which you can also apply in writing an irresistible YouTube video title.

Here are some tips that will help you write a video title to get more views:

a) Include the keyword in the video title

Keywords, as we mentioned before, are a very important element for ranking search results, and when the keyword for the video is present in the title, this will greatly contribute to raising the video's ranking in the search results for that word.

The important thing here is to use the keyword in a smart and not artificial way, and not to use the keyword in a negative way on other functions of the video title (such as attractiveness and interest, for example).

b) The title of the video should be short and not have any fillers

Google and YouTube allow a certain number of characters for the video title to appear in search results, and this requires that you do not exceed the total characters of the video title 60 characters.

Also, the user does not like distracting long titles, but is more attracted to a short title that expresses the content of the video in a concise manner.

c) The title of the video must be attractive

The title of the video, as we mentioned before, represents the first impression of the video, and the YouTube viewer loves excitement and is more attracted to watching videos that contain attractive titles.

d) The title of the video must not be misleading

One of the major mistakes that beginners make in the YouTube world is using a misleading video title to attract views.

We can say that the title is misleading in any case where the following applies:

That the title contains any promise or hint, and the failure of this promise in the content of the video.

That the video contain any incorrect information, statistics, ideas or news.

4. Use the word of mouth strategy

Use of word of mouth strategy

The best start that every beginner can take in the world of YouTube for his video marketing is the circle of personal acquaintances.

Your personal circle of acquaintances are supposed to be the most in love with you and this will make them eager to watch your YouTube video.

They will also help you get more views, by sharing the video with others.

This will give your video a splash, or at the very least help with a splash.

Also if you feel a bit shy when you tell a stranger about your YouTube channel.

You are thus missing a marketing opportunity that can help you get more views.

In fact, conveying news and information between people through personal conversations is one of the most effective marketing methods.

When a person tells another person about something, this contains an implicit personal message that means more trust and acceptance of the thing.

Hence the importance of this method is not just about getting new viewers for your video.

But this method means getting a new fan who will give you his loyalty, and this will in many cases make him take over the marketing of your video on your behalf.

5. Use a Trend Exploitation Strategy

Exploiting the trend

The trend exploitation strategy is one of the most powerful strategies for YouTube video marketing, and it is simply based on creating a video related to a hot or famous event at a specific time.

This strategy can give you a huge jump in getting views or subscriptions to your channel, especially if you can implement it smartly.

Here are the points of how to use the trend exploit strategy to market your channel and get more views:

1- Follow the news that revolves around the field of specialization of your channel, and try to reach the hot and famous news.

2- Pick a strategy to ride the wave of hot action.

There are a lot of strategies that you can use to ride a trend wave and these are the main ones:

Thematic comment strategy on the event

The cynical attachment strategy.

simulation strategy.

3- Make a video and publish it on your channel.

These are the most important points that you should consider to produce a perfect video to exploit the trend

Avoid breaking other people's property rights.

Use a title that contains the event keyword.

Use Thumbnails to express the main event, and the user can understand its connection to the main event.

6. Marketing through other people's blogs

Marketing through other people's blogs

Contact the owners of blogs and sites that talk about the same topic as your channel, and offer them to embed your video on their sites.

There is a feature provided by YouTube called Embed which is the ability to place any YouTube video on any website.

This is through a special code that you can get at the bottom of the video after pressing the share button and then choosing Embed.

Perhaps there are website owners or bloggers who want to enrich or enhance their content with some videos.

So why not try to communicate with them, and offer them to put your YouTube video on their site.

7. Interact and collaborate with the community and influencers

Interact and collaborate with the community and influencers

In the world of marketing, interacting and collaborating with others in the same field is a great opportunity to grow and reach a new audience.

Interaction and cooperation here are not the same thing, so we will deal with each one separately:

a) Interact with the community and influencers

Every YouTube channel must be specialized in a field (sports, comedy, tourism, etc.), and every smart YouTube channel owner must be aware and familiar with the community of his channel.

As a channel owner, you must own a list of the most famous channels in your field, and you must follow the news, and be aware of what is going on around you in your channel's field of specialization.

Gathering data here is just a preliminary stage to start the interaction, which is the ultimate goal of marketing your channel and videos.

Here are some tips and marketing points for the community and influencers:

1- Switch the account and use YouTube with the name of the channel you want to promote.

You can do this by clicking on the account icon at the top left of the page and pressing the switch account button.

2- Interact with videos that deal with topics related to your channel.

React like an expert in a polite way without linking so you don't appear as a spam marketer.

Strive to put opinions that deserve attention, and do not skimp on sharing your own information and ideas, so you will be able to attract a lot of visits to your channel, and then get subscriptions and views for your videos.

3- Create pages on social networking sites and interact with them as well in your community.

For example, you will find on Facebook groups and pages that talk about your channel’s niche, subscribe to them and start interacting as a professional assistant to others, and as a result, many will stream to your YouTube channel.

b) Collaboration with the community and influencers

The idea of ​​​​cooperation can start from the stage of creating a YouTube channel from the ground up.

You can find a partner who complements your capabilities and skills, and together you can start a professional YouTube channel project from the beginning.

Cooperation and participation saves a lot of time and effort, and if done in a well-thought-out and clear manner, it bears fruit wonderfully.

In any case, cooperation can also begin after the channel's creation stage.

Here are some points that you can market your channel by collaborating with influencers and the community:

Make a list of the most important influencers on YouTube and other social media sites.

Contact them to initiate reciprocal marketing proposals together.

Take the initiative in providing marketing assistance to others to attract attention to your channel, and perhaps others will return the favor as well.
