Today's topic is for all of the content creators, vloggers, and aspiring YouTube stars that are reading. You will learn how to reach more people with your videos, how to brand yourself and improve your overall YT strategy. Set A RoutineI think this is critical for anything in life to be honest. When it comes to your YouTube, set a consistent routine in terms of filming, editing and uploading. Maybe you want to upload 3 times a week like Monday, Wednesday and Friday. That's good, then think of how you can make a routine out of filming an editing. Maybe you film in the afternoons and then edit in the evenings before bed for exampl. Always make sure it goes inline with your schedule. Get A WebsiteEven if its a free Wordpress or Weebly website, get a website up ASAP. You want to expand your horizon and make a real brand which means being multi platform. You cant rely on one place(YouTube) to get all of your views and fans. Make a blog where you talk about each video a bit, have an about page, contact page and link all of your videos in your posts. Over time your website will begin to get traffic and next you know its turning into views/subs. Get on Social Media!You may already do this but if not you need to brand yourself on social networks too. Include a link to your website or YouTube channel on every profile like Twitter, FaceBook and Instagarm. Use it as a way to reach out to your fans and to also keep everyone updated with new videos and news. Ask the community what they'd like to see in future content. MonetizeSo many people on YouTube could be doubleing/tripling their income if they had some internet marketing knowledge. Look into affiliate marketing like with Amazon's program and start promoting products lightly in your description. What I mean by lightly is not spamming them and making it annoying. Lets say you use a Canon camera, put that affiliate link in your video description so if anyone wants to start vlogging they can grab it and you get a percentage. It helps people out while also making you some cash. You can also make money from YouTube with sponsorships which come when you have a bigger fanbase or by selling clothing/books/courses.

Making music is a fun hobby and easy for anyone to pick up with enough time and effort. Even if you are not the most musically talented person you could still end up becoming quite the producer with energy. Dont worry about dropping big bucks too because I'm gonna help you understand what the needed items are for a sick home studio. Studio MonitorsNormal headphones you probably have or regular speakers for that matter are not good in a home studio. Heres why: they usually will add to the bass or other areas for a better listening experience but this is not good for producing. When you produce you need to hear the raw data so you can make an accurate mix or else it can sound different on other peoples devices. Expect to spend somewhere in 100$ range for these and I recommend Amazon personally. Most of them are USB so you can connect them to your computer easy too. A MIDI KeyboardA fun way to learn the piano is by getting a MIDI version. These are cheap as 50 bucks and let you play whatever notes and synthesizers you have in your software. Ill speak a bit on good softwares/workstations in the next point. MIDI keyboards let you be really creative, improve your keys, and have cool functions like octave jumping and modulation wheels. Workstation SoftwareYou will need some good software to produce of course!! So I think you should check out either Fl Studio, Ableton, or Cubase. All 3 of these are used by the worlds best producers, if not all in conjunction together. With them you can record your MIDI notes, manipulate tracks, time stretch, warp samples, mix, master, and everything else you need to make that perfect song youve always wanted. You can also record vocals and edit those if you want to sing or rap like Eminem over your beats. ComputerThis is a no brainer but obviously you need either a desktop or laptop computer for making music. Now there are two places you want to bring attention to, the CPU and the HD. You need a healthy amount, 4gb or more to make beats since multiple softwares can take up a lot of RAM. Also you just need the plain space to store all of your music so a bigger HD is always great. Sup ladies and gents? I wanted to share with you guys some cool vloggers I watch on YT from time to time. Im certain youll love watching them as much as I do and you might learn a thing or two along the way, or just get entertained which isnt bad either! The first is the man himself, PontiacMadeDDG. His real name is Daryl and he is from Pontiac hence his vlogging name. Its always cool to see a young guy doing it big and thats what hes all about. He drives a BMW I8, wears gucci head to toe and has a smokin hot girlfriend all while living in Los Angeles. He started out as a prankster and making funny videos but in the past year or two transitioned into full time vlogs. Laughing is one thing you will always do when watching DDG! Any time Im looking for a tech review, Mr. Brownlee does the trick. He has be coined the greatest tech reviewer on YouTube and I blieve that is an understatement. Marques began YT years ago reviewing software then eventually began reviewing phones, and general tech he could get his hands on. With such a huge audience and fanbase, businesses began reaching out to him and offering products for him to look at. Nowadays hes the single biggest tech review channel and its always professionally done and simple to understand. If you have an internet connection and have been on the Tube, you have probably seen Casey's handsome face somewhere in the sidebar or recommend section. He vlogs from New York and hes always flying his drone, skateboarding, and running upwards to twice a day. Hes got alot of wisdom and good advice, solid editing and all around just creates fun videos to watch.
