description
- Update any other pending
or missing information about yourself
Step 3
- Create a short channel trailer >This is to introduce
an outside to your YouTube channel.This may go a long way.Make sure that
your trailer is creative.
- Upload content
>This is considered by some people a cumbersome task. But it's easy and a lot of fun.
Upload content to show the
world what you like, what you do and what your hobbies are. This maybe;
singing, home tutorials, dancing tutorials, online storytelling,
interviewing people,comedy vines and so many more. Here the list is
endless. You are simply attracting an audience to yourself.
Step 4
- Gain an audience > Ask your friends to join, share on
social media or even ask bloggers to redirect their traffic to your
channel. The key thing here is to get as many views as possible for your
videos.
Once you hit a
total of 10K views cumulative for all your videos, sign up with adsense and
have ads placed on your uploads.
Hitting 10K views is pretty easy since all you need to do is to network.For example, you may ask all your friends with a large follow audience to post requesting their followers to check out your channel.
Social media will do the magic for you.

Working with brands - This is affiliate marketing. Do a video promoting a
particular brand on your channel and get paid by the owner of the brand.
