TWO PURPOSES OF YOUTUBE:

This platform that we talked about is a dual usage platform where two different types of people engage and get what they desired. The two of them are given below:

1. Viewers
2. Content creators; or earners

Viewers: 

These are the normal people who visit YouTube for the desired content watch it and get information entertainment or whatever their purpose was and leave they subscribe share and like what they like.

Content creators:

These are the real deal. These are the people who upload the videos that we see. There is one basic purpose of these people to earn, how do they do it? Following are the steps.

1. You create your content.
2. You upload your content.
3. YouTube algorithm shares t\your content with people around the world and you get views.
4. While people view your content they get added to the video which is called pop-up ads, the algorithm of YouTube counts these ads and in return, you get paid for these ads. 

But there is a catch to it. As we discussed the policy system of YouTube, there are certain requirements that are to be met before you are to start earning they are given below.

1. 1000 subscribers
2. 4000 hours of watch time 
3. Verification of your email
4. In return you get monetized on YouTube and start earning.

However, to meet these requirements for beginners is quite difficult and almost half of the new content creators leave the channel for good and stop uploading. But as you go on and are committed to yourself and the content it is no different task.

STRATERGIES:

• Ask for subscribers:  perhaps the simplest and the easiest one of the strategies is to ask people to subscribe to you if they watch your content they liked content they will, and asking for subscribers lets you engage with the people more.

• Teasing upcoming work: this is a strategy used by series and seasons to tease the upcoming work to generate a sense of suspense among the viewers to visit your channel again and again and engage more with your content.

•  Verify account: unverified accounts are not able to make a video of more than 15 minutes, if you want to make your content longer more detailed, and get that 400 hours done verify your account.

• Community building: engage with the viewers of the video in the comment section and other platforms to build a community that prospers together, as you build a relationship with the viewers they are more likely to see and keep watching.

• Contests: contests are the best short ways through which you can get more subscribers and viewers, run a contest where the requirements are simple join, subscribe, get 5 of your friends to subscribe, and enter the lot. This engages you with new people who are now aware of your channel and are interested more.

• Channel building: build a channel that has accustom trailer custom icon and a description that is specific to you, get a custom URL, brand your videos, and use colorful attractive thumbnails to attract the people.

• Daily uploads and strategic display: set a time frame in which you have to upload the video and do not under any circumstance break it, upload video constantly, make a playlist and strategically upload a video that one playlist doesn’t get involved with other.

• Showcase your content on other mediums: other mediums can be Facebook, Instagram Twitter pint rest, WhatsApp and many more leave the custom URL there so they can engage with your videos from there.

• Ask a friend for help: you can ask your friend for help and tell them to revolve your custom URL around to get the content and channel.

• Collaborate with other creators: by using this method you share your ideas with other creators and get some subscribers from there as well.
