I have to say that over the past year or so Youtube has become a part of my daily internet experience.
I find that I am watching more and more content online rather than on Television.
The way that a lot of “Youtubers” (people that upload videos to Youtube) are keeping audiences varies.
Although the one main tactic is consistency and social networking and interaction.(ie. Twitter, Facebook, Personal Webpages)
Yes the Youtubers are getting paid by Google to upload videos, they are “Partners” and share in revenue from advertisements
The below is stolen straight from Youtube:
As a YouTube partner, you will be able to share in revenue-generating opportunities.
* Share revenue from relevant InVideo ads overlaid on your videos and banner ads running next to your videos to earn money
* Participate in co-marketing & branded entertainment opportunities with top brand advertisers.
* Utilize your own sales to sell your own ads.
So clearly the incentive to upload videos is there but really, how many videos can someone make before they run out of things to talk about?
Well that is where the Vlog (video blog) comes in.
I know of two Youtubers/Partners that utilize the vlog for their YouTube channels – CharlesTrippy and ShayCarl
They both video their everyday lives EVERYDAY.
Charles Trippy and Ali Speed do a daily Vlog, they include nearly every aspect of their lives for the Youtube viewers.
From weddings, engagements and international travel to a LOT of rollercoasters they record it all.
They same goes for Youtuber ShayCarl and the ShayTards – he also records his daily life, I have to say he is quite entertaining.
Charles, Alli and Shay must be doing something right – the daily videos normally clock well over the 100,000 views per day.
Besides the daily Vlogs there are also music channels, comedy and skit channels and a huge amount of unsigned or undiscovered talent hanging around on YouTube.
Taking some time and trawling through the videos will certainly cement in your mind that over at Youtube, someone is doing something right.
Let me know in the comments who your favorite Youtube uploaders or “stars” are!
