Read the tips and decide if the statements are True or False
Do you want to start your YouTube channel and make it popular? Here are some simple tips from a famous 12-year-old blogger.
- Think about a good name for the channel. It should describe what the channel is about but it shouldn't be too long and complicated.
- Find popular topics you can talk about. You can monitor some popular channels and make a list of ideas which you would like to describe on your channel. Even such a simple topic as how to tie a shoe can be popular if you present it in an interesting way.
- Set the target audience which will be interested in your channel. The more people can like your ideas, the better. Masterclasses, video games walkthrough, different training courses and funny home videos are some of the options which can help you to attract people of different age, location, and interests.
- Be ready not to have many viewers and subscribers at first. To start with, ask your relatives and friends to subscribe to your channel. And, of course, continue working on ideas on how to attract the audience.
- Get the necessary equipment to make the videos and edit them. You will need a video camera and a computer with special apps* that can help to cut the video, add music and some graphics.
- Be ready for negative remarks and comments. Not all people will like everything you post. Some of them may just be jealous. And some of them are your competitors** who may just want to make your channel less popular.
- Keep in close contact with your subscribers. Don't forget to react positively to comments, even if they are not always good and pleasant. Ask your viewers for advice, for example, about the topic of your next video or the ways how to improve your channel, to make them involved.
*app (=application) — a computer program which is used for a particular purpose or job
