How to Start your YouTube
Influencer Journey
The first thing to say here is that becoming a YouTube influencer that
has the potential to earn a significant income is not an easy thing to do.
If it was then there would be many more people doing it.
You have seen examples in the last section of the top influencers and
what they do. All of these influencers earn a lot of money from the
YouTube platform, sponsorship and more. The most important thing that
you can do to start your YouTube influencer journey is to believe that it
is possible for you.
You need a Goal and a Plan
The best way to start your YouTube influencer career is to set a goal for
what you want to achieve from it. You need to define exactly what you
are going to do and make your goal challenging and inspiring. When
your goal is inspiring it will provide you with the high levels of
motivation that you will need to keep working at it every day.
Your goal will define the type of videos that you will make and help you
to figure out who your target audience is. It is essential that you start
with total clarity about what you are going to do with your YouTube
channel. This will lay the foundation for your business.
Once you have established your goal you need to create a plan to
achieve it. Your plan will define the actions you will take each day to
edge closer to your goal. You are not going to create a perfect plan but
you do need one to guide you.

Create your Channel
If you do not have a YouTube account then you need to create one. You
will need a free Google account to do this such as a Gmail email
address. Your channel will need a name and you need to visualize how
you want it to look. The best channels have compelling artwork and you
can outsource this on Fiverr.com if you do not have the skills to do it
yourself.
Your channel name should let users know what you are doing. Make it
as easy to remember as possible. It is good to perform some keyword
research using the Google Keyword Planner to get ideas for video titles
in your chosen niche. Use a keyword in your channel so it helps users
understand what it is about.
Alternatively, you can create a brand name for your channel. Some
people use their own name or create an alias. You could also use letters
as an abbreviation. The influencer, Marques Brownlee, uses MKBHD as
his channel name.
This has the advantage of being a short name and it is easily
recognizable on YouTube and other social channels. Choosing a
memorable channel name is very important. You want users to
remember your channel name easily.
