Five tips to success on YouTube 1. Start over. If your channel has stalled and you don’t feel like you’re getting anywhere you need to stop. Stop immediately and reset. Constantly trying new things confuses your audience and gives your audience even more reasons to unsubscribe. 2. The only way you will succeed on YouTube is with consistency. It sounds silly, but not reinventing the wheel with every new video will solidify your style and content with subscribers. They will keep coming back for more and new subscribers will know what to expect with each new video. 3. Make a concise, brief and fast-paced introduction video. This video lives on your channel landing page and effectively introduces you to your new subscribers. Making this brief, but concise will ensure you have a greater chance of nabbing a new subscriber. It also sets the tone for the type of content the viewer can expect to see in the future.
