#1 Find Your Content

This is an obvious one, but you’d be surprised at how many users do not actually think this through. Users who go to YouTube are there for one thing: content. Without the content, there is no reason to even go. There is one major consideration to keep in mind, however. What kind of content do you provide?

Generally you should stay away from totally random ideas that provide interest to no one. No offense, but no one really wants to watch your younger brother eat a bowl of cereal, unless of course there is some kind of significance involved. So where do you start?

Well first think of it this way. What interests you? There are probably tons of ideas flying through your mind right now, and that’s a good thing! Now ask yourself a better question: “What interests me, as well as the general public?” There! Now we’re getting somewhere. The kind of content you need to provide is something that not only provides interest to yourself, but also pulls in specific viewers.

A general example to this equation would be movies. Everyone loves movies, right? Absolutely! Now take the idea of movies and express it in a way that your viewers will find interesting. This could be through video reviews or simply your thoughts on an upcoming film.

Basically what you need to do is find your content and stick to it. Find something you already are familiar with and expand from there. It really is as simple as that.
