I feel like I don't hear people talking enough about this and it's literally the best tool that you could use period in this video I don't want to tell you the fluff and the basics on like post to YouTube make good thumbnails like no I want to tell you the actual how to do all those things because you want real answers I know you do I know you don't want to be click baited because I wouldn't want to be click baited either what's up everyone it's Modern Millie you know why you're here so let's get
into it lately I've been hustling and testing strategy here on YouTube and I think I figured it out so to prove to you what I'm teaching here Works here's a screenshot of my analytics at the time of recording this video it's July 19th and I have 6,835 subscribers if you're somebody who loves videos like this you love learning how to grow your social media platforms Instagram YouTube your blog even then don't forget to subscribe to my channel because I drop weekly videos giving you guys the actual how-tos for all of these things okay so let's
get into it step number one let's look at the idea of your YouTube channel as a business you may have heard this before but like finding your Niche or niching down let's do that think about a business that you go to often whether it sells food clothing technology or anything else what about the overall experience motivates you to go there or even motivates you to go back now is the time where I suggest you grab a pen and paper because you're going to want to write down all of these questions ask yourself these questions to
determine why you'd want your viewers to be drawn to your channel what do you want to do what sort of value can you offer what is going to make your content and channel special or unique from any others in your category who do you want to reach what's their age range gender education level where do they live what are some things that are important to them so answering those questions are are really important because it helps you understand your brand and the people that you want to reach a little bit better knowing these things will
help you think of video ideas and Concepts that you could create and post and it'll attract the people that you want to be posting for now if you have no idea what you want to do or if you're multi-passionate like me and you want to do everything don't let that stop you from finding your Niche or stop you from posting just start posting everything if you have to You'll gradually find what feels most natural to you we're all going to start somewhere and the point is to start I remember when I was trying to figure
out my Niche I thought lifestyle was my Niche so I was posting everything lifestyle food fashion Vlogs travel everything literally anything you could think of I was posting because I thought that was my Niche lifestyle your Niche should be very narrowed down into something that you can say you specialize in okay now you know your brand let's talk YouTube strategy hear me out try to focus on providing value in every video you post within your Niche for a year we'll talk about creating a consistent posting schedule that works for you in a second let's focus
on providing value for a bit this piece of advice might be controversial because some people would say post whatever the heck you want as long as it makes you happy and I agree while you should post what makes you happy you should also have some strategy in mind if you're truly wanting to see more rapid growth I'm not not saying you should be miserable with what you post at all but be strategic get those subscribers nibbling at the bait with your helpful videos and then when they're watching get them hooked on your personality maybe every
once in a while you could sprinkle in a vlog or what you do in a day what you eat in a day those fun videos that you enjoy but providing value is where you will see your account Skyrocket what people don't understand is that YouTube is one of the biggest search engines out there right next to Google when you're thinking about what you go to YouTube for you're not going to YouTube and searching daily Vlog and looking up somebody new not often right you're usually looking up how to hang floating shelves where to get the
cheapest stickable wallpaper so when you're planning out the videos that you want to be posting make sure you're thinking will someone find Value in this video are people looking up what this video is about the world is selfish it's human nature to always want what's best for yourself people will follow you if they feel like it's going to benefit them if you don't know how to figure out what value you have to offer try one of these things ask your family and friends if you had to come to me for advice on anything what would
it be if they don't have the answers that resonate with you or if you don't have friends ask yourself what do you want to be known for and start posting videos on that step number three post consistently I know you've all heard this before so the question is how now consistency is relative it depends on who you're talking to so you need to know what consistent means for you let's do this quick formula on your piece of paper write down the number 168 at the top now think how many hours a week do you work
write that number below it how many hours a week do you sleep 7 hours a night so 49 write that number below it any other commitments that you have that take up your time weekly write down those things hourly now subtract all of those numbers from 168 that's how many hours you have left in a week to make your videos outline setup film edit thumbnails post is it realistic for to post once a week without pulling your hair out twice a week is that your goal is it realistic goal or maybe should you be posting
every other week pick a consistent schedule that works realistically for you so you can keep up with it step number four plan your content ahead of time the literal trick to posting consistently is having a plan I know you've probably heard this before but hear me out this is the one thing that has worked for me for posting consistently on YouTube I've tried everything since 2009 no earlier I've tried everything since 2008 and the only thing that keeps me consistent is when I have a plan keep a list of video ideas use a notebook if
you're a notebooky type of a person if you want to use your phone then I suggest putting a list on somewhere where the ideas will upload for both your phone and laptop I use Trello to brain dump everything if I don't have my notebook near me I know people also use the notes app in their phone if they have an Apple laptop because it'll sync up through iCloud another option is an app called ever know and I know that's another great option but whatever you do anytime you get those ideas write them down I can
go into depth on this but to save time I'm going to make this a whole other video because like I said I don't want to give you the surfacy answers I want to show you how to do all of this and this aspect is a little more complex to dive into for this video so I'm going to show you exactly how I was able to plan out all of my content for YouTube for an entire year yes ahead for an entire year that video is going to be going up on August 19th 2020 so if
