Therefore, being active on YouTube can help boost your brand\u2019s visibility, and create a community.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before diving into this platform, understanding how to create content on this platform is essential. Content creation and videography are no joke, and can be frustrating to accomplish if you don\u2019t have the fundamentals in place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, we are here to walk you through creating a video for YouTube, which will help you publish quality content from the start.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-getting-started-on-youtube\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_Started_on_YouTube\"><\/span>Getting Started on YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In order to create a video for YouTube, you need to have an active account. You also need to decide if you want to create a personal or business channel. With a business account, you can add multiple team members and create multiple channels underneath the account.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have a channel set up yet, you need to make sure that your channel descriptions are clear about what content you will be posting, and what your brand&#8217;s mission is. Follow this YouTube tutorial below to guide you through setting up your channel, and becoming more comfortable with this network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/metricool.com\/youtube-tutorial-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube Tutorial for Beginners<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-steps-to-create-a-video-for-youtube\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Steps_to_Create_a_Video_for_YouTube\"><\/span>8 Steps to Create a Video for YouTube<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you break it down, creating a YouTube is more reasonable than it seems. Yes, it takes more time than posting a few images to Instagram or filming a 15-second TikTok, however, YouTube videos tend to have a longer \u201clifespan\u201d, especially if the<strong> <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metricool.com\/evergreen-content-definition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>content is evergreen<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With that, here are 7 steps to creating a YouTube video that will reach your ideal audience, and help elevate your social media presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-establish-your-youtube-content-strategy\">1. Establish your YouTube content strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First things first, you need to have a clear goal in mind. This means creating a thorough YouTube strategy, that aligns with your brand&#8217;s objectives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What goals do you want to achieve with this channel?<\/strong> Your goals may be brand awareness, lead generation, increasing sales, driving traffic to your website, building a community, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f <strong>Workflow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Next, you need to hash out who will be doing what.<\/strong> Who will write an outline\/script? Who will record the video? Who will edit? Upload? All of these need to be taken into consideration before diving into recording.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use <strong>task management sites<\/strong> such as <a href=\"https:\/\/app.asana.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Asana<\/strong><\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.notion.so\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Notion<\/strong><\/a>, to create smooth workflows and ensure everyone is aware of their responsibilities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After establishing your goals and workflow, it\u2019s time to build the strategy. We recommend coming up with a few <strong>content pillars<\/strong>, which will be the foundation of what content you post.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f <strong>Content strategy and plan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s essential to create a thorough content strategy. We have created a social media template that you can, completely for free, to help you through this process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/template-sm-2023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Social Media Content Plan Template<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While getting started, you also should be aware of content pillars. These are themes or categories that you will focus on in your videos. This can be themes such as educational, entertaining, engaging, community,&nbsp; etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When going to plan content, you can follow your content pillars to make sure you\u2019re aligning with your goals. We recommend selecting<strong> 3-5 content pillars.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To learn more about creating a content strategy, make sure to watch this Masterclass, where we break down 3 easy ways to build a solid strategy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"_iub_cs_skip\" title=\"3 Secrets to creating a Content Strategy that actually works\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XWn--WbIlSw?start=2262&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s essential to write out this <strong>content strategy plan<\/strong>, whether that\u2019s in a Google Doc, a Google Slides, PowerPoint, etc. This strategy plan will most definitely change, so it\u2019s important to see where you\u2019ve started, and how you can improve your work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here you can define<strong> how often you will post<\/strong>, what <strong>content pillars you will use<\/strong> for each video, your <strong>branding styles,<\/strong> and your <strong>tone of voice<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, you should create a <strong>content calendar<\/strong>, so you can keep track of your videos and brainstorm more ideas. Also, it\u2019s essential to stay consistent with your content to build a trusting community. For YouTube, we <strong>recommend posting a video once a week<\/strong>, however, the more frequent you can be on this platform the better.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-research-ideas-amp-and-choose-a-topic\">2. Research ideas &amp; and choose a topic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you have a clear strategy plan, it\u2019s time to do some research. What should you research? Well first, you need to understand what content keeps your audience engaged.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f <strong>Understanding your audience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can gain this insight from your other social networks, seeing what other creators and businesses in your space are posting, as well as what solutions your ideal audience is looking for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, take this knowledge to keyword sites, such as Keyword.io, Answer the Public, and Semrush. You can even search keywords related to your industry specifically for YouTube, and of course for Google. This will help you understand what your audience is searching for.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f <strong>Script and SEO<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have landed on a topic, it\u2019s time to brainstorm. We recommend writing a script, so you have a clear idea of what to say when you go to record. You also want to make sure that your content is SEO-friendly, including primary and secondary keywords in your scripts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to learn more about how to optimize your YouTube videos from the start, check out this guide below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/metricool.com\/youtube-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Improve YouTube SEO<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-record-edit-review\">3. Record, edit, review\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The time has come, to the recording studio! This can be daunting to know what equipment you need, and the best ways to record. However, in order to create a video for YouTube, you don\u2019t need anything crazy to post quality videos.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f <strong>Filming equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t get too bogged down with the equipment, you essentially just need a phone, a&nbsp; professional(ish) background, and a stable tripod, ring light, or a stable place to set up your camera.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When I say professional(ish) background, I mean that it doesn\u2019t have to be necessarily a blank background, but something that won\u2019t be distracting. It\u2019s also important to film in a quiet environment, so you have clear and crisp audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f <strong>Recording and editing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, do have your equipment ready? If so, click record and get to it! You don\u2019t need to memorize the whole script, and you can always take breaks to read through the clips, drink water, etc. That\u2019s the beauty of editing videos!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you will be editing the video yourself, we recommend using an easy-to-use yet powerful editing tool, such as CapCut. You can either download CapCut on your phone, or computer. With this tool, you can split clips, add auto-generated captions, insert transitions, upload new clips, and then export in your preferred format.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f <strong>Video quality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An easy way to elevate your videos is to make sure your phone or camera is in maximum quality, <strong>2160p(4K) for quality, and dimensions 3840p x 2160p<\/strong>. Videos at 1440p(2K), and 2560p x 1440p are also considered very high quality. However, 480p resolution is the standard minimum quality for YouTube videos, so keep that in mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can easily export videos on CapCut from your phone, or you can export them on the desktop version.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-create-a-custom-thumbnail\">4. Create a custom thumbnail\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This next step may seem for the advanced YouTubers, but an essential step in making sure your videos stand out on YouTube. You may have seen other YouTuber\u2019s thumbnails, that usually include a photo of themselves with some sort of graphic in the background.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see in the image below, YouTubers love custom thumbnails, because they catch viewer\u2019s attention easily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/metricool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-1141-1024x510.png\" alt=\"youtube thumbnails\" class=\"wp-image-115935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metricool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-1141-1024x510.png 1024w, https:\/\/metricool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-1141-300x149.png 300w, https:\/\/metricool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-1141-768x383.png 768w, https:\/\/metricool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-1141-1536x765.png 1536w, https:\/\/metricool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-1141.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Making a thumbnail is actually very simple. First what you need to do is take a picture of yourself against a blank background. You can be pointing to the side, making a surprised facial expression, or a reaction that fits the video topic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f  <strong>Designing thumbnail<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From here, you can take the image to a simple design tool, such as Canva, Adobe Express, etc. Both Canva and Adobe Express have background removal options. Canvas is only for Premium users, but Adobe Express has a completely free background-removing tool, that you can find <a href=\"https:\/\/new.express.adobe.com\/tools\/remove-background\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, you can get to work on the graphic, adding colors and fonts that match your brand image. Then save your new graphic in either <strong>JPEG or PNG<\/strong>. YouTube thumbnails should be <strong>1280 x 720 px<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-upload-your-video-nbsp\">5. Upload your video&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your video is all edited, it\u2019s time to upload. To do this, head to the YouTube desktop version and log into your account. On the home screen, you will see a <strong>camera icon with a \u201c+\u201d<\/strong> in the middle, click on this and then on <strong>\u201cUpload a video.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>Then, you will upload the video from your computer by either dragging it into the box or selecting a file.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"493\" src=\"https:\/\/metricool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-1142-1024x493.png\" alt=\"upload video youtube \" class=\"wp-image-115936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metricool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-1142-1024x493.png 1024w, https:\/\/metricool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-1142-300x144.png 300w, https:\/\/metricool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-1142-768x370.png 768w, https:\/\/metricool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-1142-1536x739.png 1536w, https:\/\/metricool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-1142.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u27a1\ufe0f <strong>File formats\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong> file format we recommend to upload to YouTube is MP4<\/strong>, with an aspect ratio of 16:9, H.264 video codec, and AAC-LC audio codec.

Publish, repurpose, engage!\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it\u2019s time to press post! After reviewing the content, you can publish your YouTube video. Congrats, you did it! We know that this is no walk in park, so well done. After you publish your content, don&#8217;t just walk away. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend repurposing content, and sharing it across other social networks. You can take clips of your videos and save them to share to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, or Instagram and Facebook Reels. YouTube also makes this really easy with the &#8220;clip&#8221; feature. Read below to see how you can create YouTube clips, to share across multiple platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/metricool.com\/youtube-clip\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube Clips<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also very important to stay engaged with your audience, meaning responding to comments and messages, and answering any questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Did you know that in Metricool you can view and respond to all social media replies, comments, and messages? If you are someone that manages multiple accounts, or doesn&#8217;t want to jump between multiple platforms manually, try out our inbox management feature, to have all your messages in one place. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-8-analyze-your-content\">8. Analyze your content <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The last step, but one of the most important, is measuring the impact of your content. Thankfully, there are many powerful tools that allow you to see data of views, engagement, interactions, watch time, subscribers. etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube has a native management feature called <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/studio.youtube.com\/channel\/UC0NjePvj-YE5qeysRNfY-gA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube Studio<\/a><\/strong>. Here, you can view in-depth analytics for all your content. This post below will explain what YouTube Studio is, and how it works. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/metricool.com\/what-is-youtube-studio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What is YouTube Studio?<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also view your channel&#8217;s analytics with Metricool.
