I remember when I started on YouTube way back in 2012 I took a long time to perfect my delivery to perfect my editing skills you know understand how Instagram truly works well it was more of a trial and error stuff but in 2019 things have changed the internet is growing even faster well you certainly have no time for trial and error for example if you are starting on YouTube or Instagram where most of us are you need to know some basic photography or filming skills how to handle the camera different camera angles how to edit photos and videos so how do you acquire these skills well there are so many online platforms available today where you could learn these skills for free well YouTube where you are already watching us this video is one of them but on YouTube you would always not find content in a sequence especially when you are starting from level one so well I would like to introduce you to skill share yes well I often use these days that skill share and in fact when they approached me to sponsor this video I'm like that's great well now skills share is an online learning community with thousands of classes covering many creative skills such as how to take photos how to acquire knowledge about different cameras how to edit videos and photos now skills share would be the perfect platform to learn basic skills like let me show you how this one course that attracted me a lot so friends this is how skill share website looks like where there are several courses available now here it says what do you want to learn today
so let me see so here is in particular that I am looking at which is how to shoot videos on a phone and if you see there are so many videos out here where it would really be helpful for each one of y'all to learn how to shoot on your phone so let's have a look at probably videography for beginner so as you see there are so many lessons available for you to learn from and if you also see right here there are almost three thousand three hundred and sixty-nine students who have already taken help from this course now another thing which you will notice is that this course is created by Randy Allen and that's the description about him and as well as it tells you that what you are gonna learn from this class welcome to the course thank you so much for taking it my name is Randy and you'll be hearing a lot for me for a while so I just want to take a brief minute and let you know what's in the course and how I'll be teaching it so I hope it's clear by now that this course is for beginners you're interested in video production but you don't really know where to start this so guys did you see this is like a perfect course for the beginners now guys Skillshare is extremely affordable you just pay like $10 a month that is like 700 rupees in India and access so many different courses now there is so much to learn but as you are a subscriber you would get a two month free trial so guys two months that's sixty days of free trial what else do you want so make sure you use these sixty days to get your hands on and take a subscription if it suits your needs so guys the first step is to get your basics right now here's the second thing being unique and entertaining if you look at the most popular social media stars today you will notice all of them have found a special niche to focus on whether it's talking about technology like unbox therapy or the technical guru ji someone who talks about fashion health motivation teaching English like I do well they all have picked up something that they love to talk about now that's important because if you start talking about something you are least interested in you would certainly not put your heart in it for example if I have to talk about cooking which I am really bad at it I am NOT doing justice to my audience I mean I might do a few videos or photos and that's about it I will start losing interest and so will my audience as I would have not much to share about it so you need to identify your niche or your area of interest to start with the biggest mistake people make when they start on social media is they pick up a category which generates a lot of views or likes understand one thing your niche or your area
of interest may have a smaller audience but that would become your dedicated and loyal community
who would love to watch what you are good at here's the next thing well be consistent being consistent on social media could be challenging yes you are possibly in college are probably doing a nine-to-five job putting out content consistently it's quite a task for every one of us but if you have to build your influence on social media you have to be concerned if you do not post stuff frequently you will be out of sight or I can say out of mind for your followers now social media is vast it's easy for your followers to just forget about you and if you are not consistent you will soon be buried on social media now consistency does not only mean posting regularly it also means content consistency now what does that really mean in the first step you have decided on your niche say your niche is talking about motivation and then suddenly you shift your focus on tech unboxing that's not consistency your audience is following you or subscribed to you because you are a great person at motivating them helping them with personal growth like we do on skillopedia so why look confused and drive the audience away by changing your focus focus on what you do the best and not on what gather more views views and success would follow if you maintain consistency in your content so remember friends consistency is key here's the next one provide quality content now getting someone's attention is different than holding someone's attention you might get someone's attention on social media but holding that attention and making people to keep following you is challenging just to be consistent you cannot upload anything out there say let's talk about YouTube as it's the most popular video platform for example your video might have a great title a great thumbnail but the actual content doesn't appeal the audience well they would leave after watching 10 to 20 percent of your video now videos that are watched longer will be given higher ranking over those who have just abused and know great watch time eventually the video would die now I have noticed this is the biggest mistake people make when they enter social media they just see to grab attention rather than focusing on quality content so if you work on the content and provide quality I mean watching a ten minute video if your audience is going to take away something from that video you are a winner now understand you are competing with thousands of videos out there and if your content has quality over a period of time you will create a loyal fanbase your fans would keep coming back to view your content now quality videos don't happen by accident they are created with proper planning so put some time in planning what should go out there that would create value for your fans and for your followers now guys it's important for you to know and engage your audience you should be able to describe your audience with detail like how old are they what would be they interested in what are the words that will capture their attention what exactly are they looking for like are they looking for comedy for education for fitness entertainment because if you know what your audience expects it's just easy to fine-tune your content that matches their requirement now this sounds pretty simple but many tend to just overlook it so don't assume you know everything research now let's talk about engagement now if you want to become famous responding to comments and making videos or photo shoots based on audience requests really helps to make you look approachable now this is a big difference you will see what social media stars as opposed to mainstream media such as the television Bollywood or Hollywood are just a music and fashion celebs now social media stars have a reputation of being accessible and responsive to their audience you know update them what you plan to upload next ask them questions and answer them timely the more they are engaged with you the more they become your loyal fanbase so it's important for you to know your audience and engage with them..
