Let's look at the content of this video in some more detail now.
Tip 1 - Be Yourself
Looking up popular video categories on YouTube is one way to start, so you can see where you slot in in the YouTube world.
It’s about finding the balance of something that people will want to watch as well as filling that spot in your heart that makes you happy to invest time in making a video.
Last year people rushed to pick up on trending topics and especially Controversial topics… but this year people are focusing more on their personal interests.
This is a great move in the right direction to keep YouTube relevant.
If you can you can speak absolutely freely from a point of authority on your subject you are passionate about then you are also heading in the right direction.
People are getting hungry for original passion and precision in the content they consume.
The most important reason you want to be working on something that is dear to you is not actually cause you want to show people your passion.
That would be awesome if the world just saw raw passion and threw money at it.
But it doesn't work that way…. Especially not on YouTube.
You are competing with millions of others creatives all hustling for the top spot on the keyword searches that match your videos.
So again, why is it important to be passionate?
Because you need to be able to be inspired to keep going even when no one is watching.
Your first 100 subscribers are your mom Dad, sister, brother, uncle, friends, cat and dog.
Tip 2 - Keep Practicing
Talking to yourself in the beginning is also a good thing.
It gives you the space and time to start figuring out your gear, your style, and yourself.
You will need quite a few videos behind you before you start becoming happy with the look & feel.
But you can fast track the learning process.
One trick is to talk to yourself in the mirror.
Do it everyday!
Singers sing in the shower, right?
You should have a little chat with yourself in the mirror after brushing your teeth or while driving.
This will help you see what you like or don't like about how you speak (like your talking speed, tone and choice of words).
Practice Makes You Perfect ..... Well no actually, it doesn't make you perfect. But it does makes you better! And better where we need to be.
Tip 3 - Keep it Simple
Try to keep your content simple in the beginning.
This allows you to evolve your videos into more complex stories later.
If you raise the bar too high, too early, you might be forced to start dropping your standards going forward.
You should always try to improve your quality as you move forward in time, so start simple.
In the beginning sometimes a short 2-3 minute video with minimal editing, like a talking head is all you need.
By the time you a have your first 1000 subscribers you will be doing stuff out in the field and with cool editing tricks.
You will have build up momentum, confidence and work on the expectation to improve, not only of yourself, but of your audience too.
Take it easy and KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid.
Tip 4 - Choose One Youtube Category
Let’s look at the categories on youtube that are doing well at the moment.
If you see yourself aligning your videos with something on our list … you are likely to do well on youtube Fast.
The best thing you can do if you are a YouTube Beginner is try to stick to one.
Your YouTube Channel can obviously use various categories but sticking to one will help you develop a style and keep you focused on the goal.

Tip 5 - Welcome Your Haters
Haters, believe it or not are often your best critics.
Be open to criticism even when it is smothered in hate.
Although they may use crude and foul language at you there is often a smidgen of truth lurking around.
Allow yourself to be less reactive and more observant and listen to the parts that do count for something.
Be prepared for an onslaught and even welcome it.
You will learn from this rampant criticism and people that send you hate comments are usually responsible for causing such a stir that other will come to your defense ultimately pushing the engagement rankings of your video up.
Build a think skin and embrace them.
