What does it take to create a successful YouTube channel?

With over a billion users and more viewers tuned in than on cable TV, how does one stand out on Youtube? There are many ways to be seen, whether you have a knack for hair, a talent for crafts or just have the gift of the gab, YouTube has a spot for you!

The video sharing website has created a platform for many people to engage and reach an audience they would have otherwise not been able to connect with. You could literally be just one upload away from fame. The usability of the website and the fact that it is accessible worldwide has made the dream of being famous much more attainable.

Pewdiepie is one of YouTube’s top grossers who ranks in a reported $15.6 million and has built his fame on Vlogging with his niche being mostly gaming. What’s interesting is that he has created a loyal following of users called ¨bros¨ – genius!

Many people out there are talented but if you cannot engage and keep your fans loyal, you will not meet success. Pewdiepie is a perfect example of strategic branding and community engagement.

Aside from talent and brains think about what your point of difference may be. What can you bring to the table that hasn’t been done before? The unique delivery of your message will be what turns your passions into a successful business.

But you can’t just grab a camera and start recording without a strategy. Do your talent justice and secure the future of your success by carefully crafting the perfect brand plan for your YouTube channel.

Here’s a comprehensive infographic on how to create a successful YouTube channel.
