Tips On How To Increase Your YouTube Rating
Many aspiring YouTubers are out there trying to discover what it is that will bring people to their channel and make their videos go viral. Is it a cat playing the piano? Or maybe a hilarious parody of a popular song? Here’s the secret – you can’t. In reality, your best course of action is make smart decisions, especially when your YouTube channel is a representation of your business. Below are some tips to increasing your YouTube rating:
[success]1. Audience[/success]
Knowing your audience is the key to making consistently good videos. Sitting in front of a computer and talking to a camera isn’t as easy as it seems. Within the first 30 seconds you feel an instant panic because you realize you’re not sure what it is you’re going to talk about. That’s the great thing about social media. You can reach out to your followers and prospective customers via Facebook or Twitter and ask them what they’d like you to make a video about. Look for some common threads and then get into the process of making a video.

[success]2. Script[/success]
It may seem like all the famous YouTubers are talking freely from the top of their heads – and sometimes they are – but more often than not, they’ve got a script of some sort. We don’t recommend writing everything out and reading it word for word, no one wants to watch a video of someone reading a piece of paper, but have a rough outline of how you’d like your video to go and stay on track. Good videos need to be like good movies or books and the basis of that is having a clear beginning, middle, and end.
[success]3.Consistency[/success]
If you promise to upload a video once a day, once a week, or once a month it doesn’t matter as long as you’re consistent. Do what you can – more videos doesn’t mean a better rating – better quality videos mean more views which in turn means a better rating. Viewers like consistency because they can then subscribe to your channel and know that you’ll upload a video that they can look forward to every Wednesday afternoon.

By having a YouTube account for your business, it can be difficult to find the ideal balance between personable and professional. However, its not impossible. It’s important to provide information through your videos that is valid to your business – which means no cinnamon challenge videos or long rants! Stay on topic and have a positive attitude. Viewers like watching someone high energy and fun- this is absolutely doable while staying professional.
