Starting a Youtube Channel 2017

You're planning to launch a YouTube channel for your business, but you have so many questions. Don't worry. In today's video, I'm going to give you three things that you need to make sure you have set up ready to go before you launch your YouTube channel. Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Just the Tips with Trina where I provide online entrepreneurs tips and tricks on how to create a video content strategy that works for them and their business. Just remember, if you aren't subscribed yet, make sure you go ahead and click that red subscribe button. Then that way you'll be notified every time I upload new content just for you. So let's jump into the three things you need to make sure you have in place before you launch your channel. The first thing you need to do is decide on your niche. You can't do the spray and pray method where you create a bunch of different videos on a bunch of different topics and hope people watch it. That's not going to work on YouTube. You really need to niche down. And when I say niche down, you need to be really specific on who your audience is going to be and that niche you're going to target. YouTube has a lot of content already on its platform, and the only way you're going to get found is if you know exactly who you're targeting. What's great about this is if you have a business, you already know who your niche is and who you're going to be targeting. But if you don't have that yet, you really need to sit down and start thinking about who your target audience is going to be and what your niche of your channel is going to be, because that's really how your channel is going to be successful. Second, come up with your unique, quick little intro. Kind of like what I have where I say Just the Tips With Trina, where I provide online entrepreneurs tips and tricks for you know the drill. If you watch my videos, you know I say that every single time. By having this quick little intro, not only do you provide your audience a reminder of who you are and what you do, but if somebody new finds your video, they instantly know who you are and what you do. If they like what they hear, they're instantly going to stick around for more or subscribe to your channel, which means they're going to watch more content from you. You're going to build more of a know like and trust factor with them and ultimately it's going to be much easier to sell to them. And finally, the third thing you need to have in place is videos. Now, I don't mean you need to put out four videos immediately. In fact, I really suggest you don't push out four videos the same day. You really want to make sure you're optimizing each video and getting as much traffic to one video at a time. So if you film four videos and you have them ready to go, that's awesome. But only push one video live a week or maybe every couple days because you really want to provide enough attention to that video so that you can rank it so that you can get people watching it. And you don't want to just push out a bunch of videos so people aren't really sure which one they should watch, should they watch that one. So just do one video at a time, maybe once a week or once every three or four days. I also have a little bonus for you. The one thing you can do when you launch your channel is to have a custom subscription link. So what this link is is when somebody clicks on it, they're instantly taken to your channel, but they have to subscribe to your channel before they can watch your content. So if you are using social media to promote your channel, like on Twitter or on Instagram, telling people you have a brand new channel, direct them to this subscription link. So when they land on your channel, they have to subscribe to your channel to watch your content. I will leave the formula that you need to create this subscription link down in the description box below. All you have to do is just plug and play and you have your customized subscription link to start using everywhere you want. Now, before you launch your channel, make sure you have everything in place. Go ahead and grab my channel checklist right up here. It's going to make sure you have everything optimized and prepared to start attracting your target audience. So, so I want to hear from you. Which one of these was most helpful to you? Was it the new subscription link I just taught you how to create? Was it knowing how many videos to put on?
