How to grow a YouTube channel in Africa.
Being a successful YouTuber in Africa can be a lot challenging most especially if you expect to earn some money from it.
There are certain facts common to us in Africa that if not addresses will end up being the downfall of your YouTube career.
some of this difficulties are poor internet connections, expensive data plans, and so much more. Making videos that will minimize these problems will end up getting more views on YouTube.
In this article I will explain some of the tips you can use to minimize these problems most Africans face so you increase your views on YouTube.
10 Tips To Grow A YouTube Channel In Africa.
1. Make Your Video’s Short Enough.
This solves the problem of insufficient data bundles for most Africans.
The thing with Africans is when they search on YouTube for a problem, they know all the videos probably will show them solutions to their problem so they go in for that with the shortest watch time
and from my research this aspect does not only affect Africans.
Generally making your videos shorth will get more people to watch your videos.
And there are a lot of techniques you can use to make your videos shorth, such as speaking a little fast, if you cant speak fast, you can record it slow and increase the video speed, you can also avoid talking to much especially on things not relevant to the main keyword.
2. Use Very Attractive And Professional Thumbnails.
For those who don’t know what thumbnails are they are the pictures you find on the videos when you open YouTube.
Most often the very attractive thumbnails which seem to demonstrate what’s in the video gets the majority of the viewers.
3. Quality video content.
After attracting someone to click on your video by having a wonderful thumbnail, it would be a shame for the viewer to find out that the video has nothing to do with what he is looking for.
That way the user will surely take note of your channel never to waste time again opening your videos ever.
Therefore crafting your video content around a particular keyword will most likely please your viewers.
4. Good video quality.
This is always one super big down fall for most African youtubers. the quality of their videos drive most of their viewers away from visiting their channel ever again.
One way in investing in your YouTube career is getting a very good camera, a good microphone, and preparing a good location for your video shoot.
Most African YouTubers fail in this aspect, making really poor quality videos, most especially with their audio quality.
If you don’t know how to get a good audio quality for your video, you can get to contact with anyone you know who is good in it.
5. create videos regularly.
According to my research youtubers who post on regular bases, say once or twice a week turn to get more views and followers on their videos.
one big example for such African youtubers is the Mark angle comedy channel.
they post videos every Friday, and due to that they get fans waiting for them to release their videos on Friday for them to watch.
therefore making at least one video a week will go a long way to boast your followers on YouTube and consequently your performance on YouTube.
6. Have an interesting video intro.
Beginning a video in a grand style with a lot of energy and something to give your viewers the hope to keep watching your video will increase your viewers interest in watching your video till the end.
7. Copy video flow from top in your niche.
Those youtubers at the top surely know for more than you, hence copying their video making flow will get you toward the position they are in now.
To conclude these simple intense tips can really grow your channel in Africa, all you just need is follow this steps either on your new channel or existing channel, exercise a little consistency and remain focus, then you will find your self at the top one day.
