Consistent Posting
A look at some of the most popular YouTube
channels will reveal that all of them are
consistent with their posts. When you launch a
channel, you cannot afford to wait for perfection
in every single video. Ideally, you should
identify your resource availability and come up
with a posting schedule that is convenient for
you. Ensure that you stick to the schedule and
deliver consistent content. When you force
yourself to be productive for the first few days
of your YouTube journey, and over time, it
translates into a habit.
Doing the Homework
These days, you do not need a degree in
filmmaking to create professional-quality videos.
Do your homework and study content from
television and OTT platforms like Netflix or
Prime. Watching quality content will give you
lessons in lighting, production quality, camera
angles, etc. You can then incorporate these in
your YouTube videos and give a boost to your
video quality.

• Gearing Up
• No battle can be won unarmed, and video making is
  no exception to this. While you do not need the
  most advanced tools in your initial days, you do
  need a few basic pieces of types of equipment.
•  Get yourself a camcorder that has in-built
  stabilization, a 50 X optical zoom range, and a
  minimum of 1080p video resolution. Choose an APS
  C sensor with a maximum 1.6 crop factor.
•  If you want to skip the camcorder and use your
  smartphone, make sure that your phone is equipped
  with in-built stabilization, has low-light
  compatibility, and a minimum resolution of 13MB.
  We recommend that you use a device with storage
  of at least 128 GB.
•  For those who intend to use a digital camera,
  choose a device with a minimum resolution of 1080
  p. Fixed lens with optical zoom work well, and
  you must focus on a device with mic input. That
  way, you can connect an external mic to the
  camera for your recording purposes.
•  If budget is not a constraint and you want to
  settle for the best, choose a user-friendly DSLR
  camera. We recommend sensors in the ISO range of
  25,600. Pick a DSLR that can shoot at 24 to 60
  fps and has the provision of autofocus in video.

Setting the Right Benchmark While consistency
is an important aspect of your YouTube channel,
you need to pay due attention to the video
quality as well. To set the correct quality
benchmark, you need to be ready to chop off the
parts that compromise the quality of the video.
Ensure that your video clip goes through multiple
layers of editing so that only the best quality
content reaches your viewers eyes. Avoiding
Overdoing It When you set out to create your
YouTube channel, you should pay special attention
to the fact that there should not be any
over-editing. While 3D effects and contrast
graphics help you illustrate a point, they may
not be necessary for every video that you create.
For the best results, go for a simple setup and
process. That way, the viewer will get the
videos raw feel, which will cause them to relate
better to the content.

Establishing a Pattern A YouTube channel will
have multiple videos, and you must have some
uniformity among your videos. The use of brand
colors, logos, taglines, or a particular type of
music will help establish a brand image. That
way, when a viewer stumbles across one of your
videos, they will relate it to the channel. It
will boost your brand visibility and make your
channel popular. Transcribing Your Video You
must transcribe all the video content that you
post on YouTube. Search engines do not index
captions, and that is why the transcription
boosts your online visibility. From the viewer's
perspective, the transcriptions enable your video
to reach users who have their devices on mute,
are hearing impaired, or do not speak the
language of the video. Studies establish that the
addition of captions results in a 7.32 increase
in the views of YouTube videos.

SEO Optimization of Video The addition of
primary keywords to the video title and secondary
keywords in the description gives a major boost
to the online visibility of your video. Pay
special attention to the description section, as
this will help a potential viewer get a
perspective about your video. You can further
optimize your video by adding tags that
categorize the videos and help in ensuring that
it reaches the target audience. Adding
Call-to-Actions (CTAs) and YouTube Cards CTAs
and YouTube cards are powerful tools to direct
your viewers into watching other relevant
content. If your YouTube channel has videos that
are related to each other, you can leverage CTAs
at the end of the video to guide the user. With
YouTube Analytics, you can identify points in
your video where the viewers are the most likely
to drop off. You can add YouTube cards at such
points to direct the user into watching some
other video from your channel.
