How Do I Become YouTube Famous

YouTube fame is a plausible goal that with hard work and a person capable of selling their product can eventually achieve. The site allows viewers to potentially garner the attention of any of their millions of users. Doing so, however, requires a lot of time and energy.

You cannot gain YouTube fame without attracting viewers. YouTube is saturated with content, so catching people’s attention is key. The video’s thumbnail, the picture representing the video, should be indicative of the video itself. This picture can be visually interesting and attractive but shouldn’t be misleading, or else viewers are less likely to keep coming back.

The title of the video is extremely key in pulling in viewers. A succinct and self-explanatory title is appealing because it quickly conveys information. In combination with a thumbnail related to it, the title can make or break a video. Another way to go is making a bold and enticing statement such as “you will not believe what happens” or “funniest video of all time” that don’t reveal much of anything except that it is worth checking out.

Describing and adding “tags” to the video is also necessary to get subscribers and be a successful YouTuber. Use a paragraph or two to lay out or set up what happens in the video. It also reflects very well if you express gratitude in your subscriptions to the subscribers and viewers that you already have. Tags are keywords added and linked below the video that describes your video. If the video is vlog for example where you describe your fantastic day you just had, you may tag “fun” “exciting’ “happy”, etc. Because tags take you to other videos with the same tags, tagging similar things to your favorite YouTubers or event blatant references are helpful, so long as they are appropriate for the video.

So you have done these things and had a few hundred, and then a few thousand subscribers and people want to advertise on your channel. Ads and sponsorship are NEEDED to achieve fame like someone such as PewDie Pie or Markiplier. Not only does sponsorship bring in money, but in a way legitimizes your channel to viewers. Using the money from advertisement toward the growth of your channel is also essential. The higher quality will at the very least keep the subscribers that you already have around if not bring in more. Alternatively, better yet, you can take that money and use it to advertise your channel on YouTube or any other outlet.


There it is. YouTube fame is not as easy recording yourself with a webcam, uploading the footage and waiting for the response. Everything from the content itself to the tags and thumbnail used for the footage is part of the video’s success, and without putting tender love and care into each video, YouTube stardom is not possible.
