Now, you might be thinking, “With millions of channels out there, how on Earth do I carve out space for my little patch of the interweb?” That’s where the magic word—organic—comes in. 

It’s not about hacks, bots, or that dubious character who keeps offering to “buy real subscribers,” whatever that means.

Organic growth on YouTube is the equivalent of slow-cooking a meal over insta-zapping the life out of your sustenance in a microwave. It’s about patience, authenticity, and yes, I’m going to say it—engagement.

Honing your Video Title and Thumbnails

Imagine if Shakespeare had named his play “A Retiree with a Mood” instead of “King Lear.” Your titles and thumbnails are your first—and often last—chance to grab a potential subscriber’s attention.

• Choose titles that are clear, catchy, and searchable.
• Optimize your titles for SEO, but don’t be afraid to sprinkle a little personality in there.
• Thumbnails should be eye-catching even when they’re just a speck on your viewer’s feed, so go bold with the visuals.

Remember, there’s a fine line between click-bait and compelling. If in doubt, ask yourself, “Would this thumbnail make me click?”

The Script is Mightier than the Camera

Great videos start with a great script. It’s the roadmap to an engaging and coherent experience for your viewer — one of the keys for you to get YouTube subscribers. 

• Know what you want to say, and why you’re saying it.
• Plan your video structure—introduction, body, conclusion.
• Don’t just write words, write a story. Human brains are hardwired for narrative, so give them one to hang onto.

A good script also helps with nervousness. Even if you’re reading off a cue card, if your words are confident and informed, your viewers will feel the same.

Audio and Video Quality—It’s Non-Negotiable

Even the most compelling video will struggle to shine if it looks like it was filmed on a potato and sounds like it’s broadcast from the bottom of a well.

• Invest in a decent camera and microphone.
• Pay attention to lighting; nobody wants to see you in the dark.
• Audio quality is just as important as video, if not more so.
• Test your setup regularly to catch any mishaps (or audio gremlins) before you hit record.

The consumption of content is a sensory experience, so aim to delight as many of those as possible.

Building a Community Through Consistency

This one’s a doozy, and it’s about being a friend more than a YouTuber.

• Keep a regular upload schedule, and stick to it as much as humanly (and algorithmically) possible.
• Engage with your viewers in the comments.
• Don’t just promote yourself, support your fellow YouTube dreamers.

Consistency breeds familiarity, and familiarity breeds community. The more your viewers feel like they’re a part of your YouTube family, the more invested they’ll be in its growth.

The YouTube AlGORithm Demystified

Ah yes, the algorithm. YouTube’s not-so-secret sauce for surfacing videos to viewers. And folks, they’re kinda serious about that recipe.

• Discover what type of videos your viewers want (hint: YouTube analytics is your friend).
• Keep an eye on your watch time—videos that keep viewers watching for longer are more likely to be recommended.
• Tags and descriptions should be relevant and informative, but y’know, not quite War and Peace.
• Craft an engaging channel home that effectively communicates what you’re all about.

At the heart of this whole YouTube adventure is the connection. The more you treat this as a two-way street—giving as much as, if not more than, you receive— the more your community will grow.

In a world where shortcuts are a dime a dozen, dare to take the long route. The organic route. In doing so, not only will your YouTube subscriber number swell, but so will the genuine connections and community spirit that make the platform truly special.

Programming Insider had a chance to speak with Denys Sokoriev, Content Production and Operations Manager for Trend Media, LLC, the production company behind “Vlad & Niki,” about how he creates the series’ magic.    

The global YouTubers now have 21 YouTube channels that are translated into 18 languages and began streaming in March 2022 on HBO Max. 

“Only a handful of YouTube creators get even close to these numbers,” enthused Sokoriev. “We are usually in the top 5 streamed channels in the United States and recently received more than 460 million views for one of our videos!”

Sokoriev loves the collaborative creative process working with the Vashketov family.   

“The great thing about working with Sergey and Victoria – Vlad & Niki’s parents – is that they are very inclusive with my team and I. When there is such a collaborative working environment, you are able to come up with fresh and exciting ideas, which makes work fun. We get to take ordinary ideas and make them extraordinary for kids all over the world!” 

Originally from Krivyi Rih, Ukraine, Sokoriev moved to Poland and worked in furniture design and construction, which allowed him to explore his passion for designing, creating and building objects. 

“This prepared me for the work I do now – overseeing the production and sets for content creators. After my time in Poland, I moved to Dubai, UAE, where I worked in accounting and content production, leading me to work on ‘Vlad & Niki.’ My unique set of experiences made me a perfect fit for the work I now do in visual entertainment,” he said proudly.

It seems like it was fate that brought Sokoriev to the Vashtekovs! 

“They were living in Dubai at the same time I was, and I met them through my work for a different content production company. Their channel was becoming very successful at the time, and so Sergey and Victoria started thinking about strategies to help them further the content creation.”

Because the couple could see the channel was getting too big for them to produce themselves, they decided to grow their team, Sokoriev noted.

“I got to know them personally; since they were looking for people to work directly with their children, they absolutely needed trustworthy people. I am so grateful they felt I was a right fit for their team.”

So far, it’s been an amazing adventure for Sokoriev to be a part of. 

“I have coordinated  shoots for filming in unique locations like Dubai, The Bahamas, Mexico, Vail, Colorado and The Maldives. When we are shooting on-location, we primarily use practical locations, so there’s not much building involved. We shoot most of the content in and around their home in the Miami area, so that’s where most of the set production actually happens.”

They also shoot content at places such as water parks, amusement centers, museums, farms – places that real kids go to with their parents, Sokoriev added.

“We want the content to look imaginative, creative, and larger than life filled with  educational elements of learning, sharing and kindness. I oversee planning and coordinating the filming logistics in the different locations where we make content. It’s not always easy to shoot in far-away places; still, the on-location content always looks amazing!”

Sokoriev has thoroughly enjoyed his job, and is thrilled he is a part of the experience of making kids laugh all day long.

“I absolutely love storytelling, producing and designing. Since I was a small boy, I have had an affinity for tinkering and building things, so producing fun props and sets we feature in the videos is a childhood dream come true! If you watch them, you immediately understand the ‘Vlad & Niki’ brand, which is vibrant and exciting. Although sometimes it’s a challenge to bring big ideas to life, it’s never boring and makes it exciting every day.”

There are many stories and sets Sokoriev has been involved with–one favorite is the “Four Colors Playhouse Challenge,” where they had to design a vision that included building an elaborate and vibrant practical life-size imaginative house,” Sokoriev said. “The video has proved very popular, with more than 462 million views on the English Channel alone!

Another fun story that Sokoriev enjoyed producing was for the Airplane challenge with Vlad and Niki episode.

“Once we wrote the storyline, we started creating functioning sets, including designing a prop airplane and incorporating special effects. Everyday we are working to create content that resonates with kids and families all over the world. For me, ‘Vlad & Niki’ is like making blockbuster movies that continue to engage, entertain and teach and hopefully inspire our audience!”

The Wall Street Journal‘s Joe Flint and Miles Kruppa first broke this story. The report details that YouTube is licensing the residential rights for seven years. Those rights are valued at approximately $2 billion per season and could increase if certain benchmarks are reached.

NFL Sunday Ticket is popular in bars and restaurants; the NFL will also seek to license the commercial rights for those establishments for an additional $200 million.

“We’re excited to bring NFL Sunday Ticket to YouTube TV and YouTube Primetime Channels and usher in a new era of how fans across the United States access, watch and follow the NFL,” NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said. “For a number of years we have been focused on increased digital distribution of our games and this strategic partnership is yet another example of us looking towards the future and building the next generation of NFL fans.”

Starting next season (in 2023), NFL Sunday Ticket will be available on two of YouTube’s growing subscription businesses as an add-on package on YouTube TV and standalone a-la-carte on YouTube Primetime Channels.

Consisting of all out-of-market Sunday regular-season NFL games (based on viewer’s location) broadcast on Fox and CBS, NFL Sunday Ticket allows fans in the United States the ability to follow all their favorite teams and players no matter where they live.

Updated NFL Sunday Ticket product features and functionality will be announced ahead of the 2023 NFL season.

DirecTV, which has had exclusive rights to Sunday Ticket since 1994, was paying a $1.5 billion annual fee to the NFL to carry Ticket but had reportedly been losing about $500 million per year on the package. The satellite service, which still transmits Amazon’s “Thursday Night Football” to bars and restaurants, currently has a subscriber base of 13.5 million, down seven million since 2017, amidst the ongoing trend of cord-cutting.

The NFL and Google have been partners since the League first launched its official NFL channel on YouTube in 2015. Since then, the NFL YouTube channel has grown to more than 10 million subscribers who enjoy clips, highlights, game-day compilations and exclusive original content series like “NFL Follies” and NFL Films’ two-time Emmy winning flagship series “Gameday All-Access”, a mic’d up players show bringing fans inside the huddle and on the sidelines for exclusive access during the game.

Since 2015, the NFL’s presence on YouTube has increased to include channels for all 32 NFL clubs, as well as ten official League channels including NFL Films, NFL Network, and the NFL’s Hispanic channel, Mundo NFL. Since the start of the NFL/YouTube partnership, NFL content on YouTube has generated billions of views.

Additionally, as part of the agreement, YouTube and the NFL will facilitate exclusive access to official content and attendance opportunities for select YouTube Creators at key NFL tentpole events. YouTube is now also the presenting sponsor of both Back Together Saturday as well as NFL Kickoff Weekend. Back Together Saturday is the League’s official start to training camp when all 32 NFL clubs hold practices with club-led fan events. YouTube’s presenting sponsorship of NFL Kickoff Weekend marks the first time a League partner will have a presence from the kickoff of the season on Thursday night through the weekend games and Monday night.

In 2020, the NFL expanded its partnership with a carriage agreement to bring NFL Network and NFL RedZone to YouTube TV subscribers. Under the expanded relationship, the carriage agreement has been extended.

YouTube TV is a subscription streaming service that lets viewers watch live and on-demand TV from over 100 channels. Its cost per month before add-ons is currently $64.99. Viewers have access to local and national live sports, breaking news, shows, movies, and more, and can tune in on any screen (phone, tablet, TV, computer). The service has over five million subscribers, as of December 2022.

YouTube Primetime Channels is a new way for users to subscribe and watch content from their favorite streaming services right on the YouTube app. With over 30 channels, users can browse, sign up for, and watch their favorite shows, movies, sports, and more. With so many streaming options today, Primetime Channels makes it easier for viewers to watch their content in one place without having to jump from app to app, while also managing their subscriptions all in one place.

DirecTV currently has a $300 per season version of Sunday Ticket and a $400 version that features extra NFL-related content.

You might be wondering how to build your first video. If you’ve previously experimented with YouTube, you might simply be seeking ways to improve your video performance. In any case, you’ve arrived at the right location.

Ways to Make a YouTube Video: A Beginner’s Guide

If you want to make a YouTube video or start your video channel on YouTube, there are several things that you must take into consideration. Some of these recommendations are listed below:

1. Know your competitors

You must create a list of your competitors and then review their YouTube channels to get started. Examine which of their films has the most views and comments to learn more about your target audience’s interest. Examine them to see if there are any common threads — patterns that connect the most popular videos, issues that don’t generate much traction, and so on. What Is the quality of their video and what kind of video creating tools they are using. Before you put resources into developing your content, use this technique to determine what resonates with your audience.

2. Conduct your keyword research

You can utilize YouTube keyword research as an SEO strategy to locate the most relevant search terms to incorporate in your video material. Simply using deliberate, studied search terms in your video’s title and meta description can dramatically increase its performance. You can begin by doing some research about what your target audience is looking for.You’re on the right track if you watch videos from your competitors. Check to see if they have a lot of views,  content is of good quality, and answer the question correctly as you go through them.

3. Make use of a storyboard.

Create a storyboard to help you take your script to the next level. A storyboard will act as a visual representation of your video in the form of a comic book. It demonstrates how various pictures are combined to make a single visual tale. You can use software like Storyboarder to construct a storyboard, or you can draw out your thoughts. This approach doesn’t require a lot of time or money; the goal is to get an overview of the content and flow of the film so you can produce it well and convey a cohesive story.

4. Make good use of  essential equipment

It is not necessary to spend a lot of money to create a YouTube video. You can probably make your film with the hardware you currently have. Most modern smartphones have high-quality cameras ideal for videography; you can even get an affordable tripod for your phone to ensure that the shot is steady. Depending on the type of video you’re making, you can also utilize your computer’s built-in webcam or buy an external web camera. This method is ideal for recording webinars, testimonials, lessons, and interviews, among other things.

5. Create a compelling introduction

How often have you started a video only to end it after a few seconds because it didn’t pique your interest? Your target demographic is no exception. Today’s video viewers are incredibly picky; if you want to hold their interest, you must capture it in the first five seconds. The best way to do so is to have an easy-to-use, intuitive intro maker tool that can guide you to explore ways of creating engaging intros. 

6. Check your audio

Poor audio is the single most crucial factor in making a video appear amateurish. Run an audio test if you intend to use your camera on your phone or computer. Clear audio is essential for your video to feel professional and polished, and acquiring good audio isn’t tricky. First, test your audio on the camera you’ll be using and in the setting, you’ll be filming it in. This test will tell you how close your actors or interviewees should be to the camera and whether there is a lot of background noise.

7. Make an attention-grabbing thumbnail.

Choose a thumbnail that will stand out on the search results page by using vivid and exciting colors. To reinforce your video’s title, choose a thumbnail with text on the screen; viewers may not read the title as they scroll through search results, so putting the title on your thumbnail helps ensure they see your video. You won’t want a thumbnail that’s too huge, too small, or blurry, so format it according to YouTube’s guidelines.

8. Interlinking of channels and promotion on different channels

Share your video on social media: You probably already have a following on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and other social media sites. Send your video to your current followers and encourage them to share it with their friends.

Your video should be posted on your website: Your video might fit on a home or product page on your website, or you could write a blog post on your video’s theme to give it a home.

Send your video to the following address: Could your sales staff use your movie as a marketing tool? Do you already have a customer list that is qualified? Consider how your video can help you with your current email marketing campaign.

9. Keep a tab on your analytics.

YouTube includes built-in metrics that make it simple to see how well your video is performing. YouTube Analytics, like Google Analytics for your website, allows you to track:

• Total number of views
• Keep an eye on the clock.
• Retention of the audience
• Source of traffic Age of the viewer Gender of the viewer Geography of the viewer Impressions
• Rates of click-through

There’s so much more! You can use this information to guide your content strategy in the future. What are the most popular videos on YouTube? How can you improve your entire video strategy by producing additional content like those videos? Is there a video that has gotten so much attention that you want to run a sponsored ad campaign to help it gain even more traction? These indicators can assist you in making educated content decisions.

10. Set the tone right

Consider the overall atmosphere of the piece you’re making, as well as how all of the video’s aspects — music, lighting, voiceover, even color composition – work together to create that mood and reflect your brand. Make sure your film has a consistent tone throughout and that it reflects your primary purpose. You might begin by creating a list of adjectives to help you through the process; you might want to make a motivational and encouraging film, serious and tear-jerking, or high-octane and fast-paced. Determine the way you want to take before you start collecting footage so that your film represents the tone you’re attempting to convey.

Conclusion

Making a YouTube video can be interesting and challenging at the same time. You must enjoy the process but you should do this while keeping the technicalities in mind. Also, once you create your YouTube video, don’t forget to cross-link it with other video platforms.

In the ballad, Adele utters: “Go easy on me, baby / I was still a child / Didn’t get the chance to feel the world around me / Had no time to choose what I chose to do / So go easy on me.”

The music video features the star located in the same house used in her video for 2015’s “Hello.”

The song and video are part of “30”, her fourth studio album, available on November 19, 2021. Like her three previous albums “19”, “21” and “25”, the title “30” marks the age when she first began writing for this album.

Since “25”, Adele’s marriage to charity entrepreneur Simon Konecki ended after only three years (Konecki is the father to their 9-year old son Angelo) and her body has noticeably slimmed down.

Adele described the upcoming album as her “ride or die throughout the most turbulent period of my life.”

In addition, there are numerous websites on the Google Play Store that allow you to make the desired conversions. But it is always a good option to check the reliability of a website before installing it into your Android device. Many applications leave a virus behind in your phone, which could affect the speed and compatibility of your device.

 YouTube is a free application and provides many music videos and other different types of videos for users. But there comes a time when we are not in the mood to watch videos but listening to songs is preferred. Therefore such websites can help and convert those YouTube videos into great quality MP3 sound. Apart from this, there are many other benefits of using this kind of application. Some of them are discussed below, have a look at them to know all the perks of the websites:

1. Provides Great Sound Quality

 YouTube has the option of maintaining the quality of videos, but the options provided by YouTube consume a lot of data. Watching such high-quality videos is of no use; therefore, wasting data on such videos is also a stupid thing. Instead, people can convert these videos into MP3 sounds with an application that provides high-quality sound. Getting an available converter makes sure that the user gets optimum sound quality.

No one likes to hear songs of poor audio quality because it does not provide any satisfaction that the person is seeking. Therefore anyone who wants the flawless sound quality of the audios should download YouTube to MP3 converter.

2. Helps In Saving Space

YouTube also allows a person to save the video, but the problem is that it takes too much space off the mobile phone. Whereas downloading an MP3 version of the videos does not take much space and provides high audio quality. People who have a phone with low storage could benefit from using the application. If they consider downloading the video version of the songs, they could get out of the space.

 Apart from this, when you are downloading the video version, you could not download too many videos collectively on your phone as it could slow down your phone and affect its working. Therefore, it will eventually degrade your mobile phone’s quality and working profile if you consider downloading too many videos on it. This is why people prefer the MP3 version of the songs rather than the video version.

3. Portability

Everybody knows that we need a stable internet connection to stream the videos fluently when we are watching YouTube videos. Whereas not every place supports a fluent internet connection, as there are many places with no optimum internet connection. So at such a place, it could be difficult for a person to stream the videos. People who have a traveling job or travel too often could also get this app for a great traveling experience.

 Suppose you are at a gym where you are looking for songs for enhancing your performance at the gym. What if the videos repeatedly load due to the slow internet connection; it could ruin your whole experience of the gym. Therefore it is a great idea to download the MP3 converter and download all the videos prior. This could help you in listening to the songs fluently without any disturbance or obstacle.

4. Easy Usability

 The applications used for converting YouTube to MP3 audios have a great interface that anyone could easily use. The functionality of the website is not very hard that any user would not understand it. At the same time, it is very easy and understandable. The process of converting any video into audio is simple and fluent.

 The person could transform the videos into audio by picking up the YouTube file from the application and clicking on the MP3 version, which must be downloaded. Various MP3 versions are available to download, but it is recommended to get the highest quality one. Because MP3 consumes very low data, downloading the highest-quality version will also not take more than 30 to 40 MB.

5. Enjoy Offline Music

Everyone can’t have a stable internet connection all the time. Therefore keeping some music stored on the phone will not make you frustrated and bored at moments when you have nothing to do. You can keep your audio downloaded before the phone so that you can enjoy them later. Sometimes there are some connectivity issues at some places of your house; you could use the application at that time.

You can download many songs on your mobile phone because they don’t take too much space and you can easily enjoy them later. However, you could also make a different playlist on your phone that you can enjoy at any time when you are willing to watch them. Such as you could keep a separate playlist for the gym, sleep time, morning, and evening. Therefore by making a different playlist, you could enjoy trouble-free music at any time without spending too much time on making the playlist or downloading the music.

 Concluding Lines

 These are some of the benefits of downloading YouTube to an MP3 converter, and in today’s time, many people are using it. As the benefits offered by this application are huge and none of the benefits could be ignored at all. There are many other benefits, such as not reducing the speed of your phone that usually video songs do on getting installed in your mobile phone.

YouTube Originals and beauty mogul James Charles announced a new untitled beauty competition series to find the next budding industry influencer. With over 16 million subscribers to his channel, James Charles is best known for his creative makeup transformations which led to him being selected as the first male spokesperson for CoverGirl. Inspired by his artistry in the space, this series marks the first YouTube Originals beauty competition and will premiere on YouTube next year.

The logline: In this four part competition series brought to life by Brian Graden Media, contestants will put their best makeup artistry on display for Charles and a mix of celebrity guest judges as well as seasoned beauty industry veterans. Their work will be judged to see who has what it takes to be a top beauty influencer.

“Reality competition shows have always been a guilty pleasure of mine, and ever since I became a content creator on YouTube, it’s been one of my biggest dreams to create my own, said James Charles. “Beauty is such a major industry, and I’ve been lucky enough to grow a huge platform, but now I want to give back and share the knowledge I’ve gathered with others. Being a superstar influencer takes a whole lot more than just blending eyeshadow, and I can’t wait to find out who has what it takes to make it to the top. Producing my own show for YouTube is going to be a crazy challenge but I’m so ready… and hopefully the beauty community is too.”
