Introduction
YouTubers are a big deal. You might have heard of them, or maybe you've even seen someone you know on the platform. But what exactly does it take to be successful with YouTube? In this article, we'll cover everything from knowing who you are and what kind of content will resonate with your audience to creating consistent videos and building relationships with other creators.
Know who you are and what you want to do.
The first step to becoming a YouTuber is knowing who you are and what you want to do. This can be difficult if you don't know where to begin, but it's something that everyone should start working on at some point in their lives. If we don't understand ourselves, then how will others?
The biggest mistake most people make when starting out as a new creator is thinking that they need a fancy studio or equipment just because they want their videos online (and no one wants to see their friends' cousins doing makeup tutorials). There are plenty of different ways for people with similar interests and goals to share their knowledge online without having all of the bells and whistles required for professional production quality. For example: I'm currently writing this essay on my laptop while sitting at home with my dog Rufus curled up next me!
Find a niche or target audience.
Find a niche or target audience.
Find an audience that will support your work, and not just consume it.
Find an audience that you can provide value to, instead of just making money from them (e.g., if you're a makeup artist who makes videos about skincare products, don't just make videos about makeup).
Create content around your niche or audience.
In order to make the most out of your time as a YouTuber, you need to create content that's relevant and engaging. Your audience wants something new every time they see it, so don't be afraid of experimenting with different styles and formats.
In addition to creating content that's unique enough so people will want to come back for more, also consider making sure that each video has some kind of hook--something that makes people interested in watching what comes next. The best hooks are those things like "this guy does weird stuff" or "this girl talks about her life as though she is on stage at an awards show."
Be consistent and vigilant.
You need to be consistent and vigilant. You can't expect overnight success if you don't put in the work. If you want to be successful, you need to be consistent and vigilant.
If you want the best of both worlds--a strong career as well as a life that lets your creativity flourish--you need to know what works for YOU when it comes time for work (and play).
Be authentic.
Be authentic.
Your audience is more likely to trust you if they know who you are and what your personality is like. They will be able to relate to you, which means that if there's something going on in your life that isn't 100% positive (which there inevitably will be), people won't think that everything about your channel is fake. If anything goes wrong, let them know! Don't try and hide behind a facade of perfection; instead be honest about everything from the good parts of being an artist/vlogger/etc., down-to-earth details like when things get hard or how much money it costs to run this business full time (and vice versa). Be consistent with what's shown on social media channels too--this allows viewers who follow multiple platforms such as YouTube, Instagram etc., feel connected even though they may not watch every video posted by one particular person online at any given time during each month or year!
Don't be afraid of hard work.
Don't be afraid of hard work. If you want to be successful, you need to put in the work. You can't just show up at 9 AM and expect things will go well for you by noon. You have to be willing to do whatever it takes: Get up earlier than everyone else, stay late after everyone else has gone home, or even start at 6 AM if necessary--whatever it takes!
That said: I have good news! There's hope for us all!

Be consistent and vigilant. You can't expect your channel views or subscribers to grow overnight if you don't do anything for them every day of their lives, so be diligent about keeping up with all aspects of running a business on YouTube--both monetarily (advertising revenue) and non-monetarily (engagement).
Know who you are and what you want out of life; then figure out how best to create content that reflects those values while simultaneously attracting an audience who shares those values as well.* Do this by identifying what kind of talents or skillsets would make it easier for someone else like yourself who's interested in pursuing similar work opportunities within their field/profession.* Make sure not only do they exist there but also that they're being utilized effectively enough where others could benefit from doing so too!
Conclusion
You've probably heard the phrase "If you want to be successful, you need to put in the work." This is true for any kind of career. Whether it's starting a business or writing an article for your website, if you want people to see what you're doing and follow along with your journey, then it takes work! The same goes for YouTube: if you want people to watch your videos and subscribe their email address so they can receive more from their favorite YouTuber (and maybe even learn how they can start making money on YouTube themselves), then it takes effort too! So what do we mean when we say putting in effort? Well...
