Now it's time to add content to your YouTube account. Try and ensure that your content is of high quality. Use good quality equipment to film your videos so the video appears clear. When filming, factor in the lighting by making sure you are facing a light and that your video isn't full of shadows. Don't make your videos too lengthy because as viewers we have short attention spans and you don't want viewers getting bored and clicking away.

Becoming popular on YouTube requires knowing what viewers want to watch and what they enjoy. Always try and make your next video even better than the last to keep your audience interested. Upload new videos regularly but not too often. It's best to start slow, build up an audience-base and upload more frequently as you gain follower momentum. This way people are more likely to subscribe to your channel and share your videos!

Again, keep adding tags and keywords to your YouTube videos so that they are found easily and shared often. By using keywords that you know people are searching for, it is easier to create content that will be noticed in a simple search for that particular keyword. Don't forget to give your videos an interesting description to draw people in.
