An engineer or a math fan has an advantage over his competitors because he sees everything as an equation to solve, as a situation to optimize, which allows him to make the best logical decisions based on expected value. Being the best is a real job that can take the fun out of an activity that you used to enjoy, you should not focus on just one element but on all the details that allow exponential growth. The number of subscribers of a person is not linked to the fact that they are interesting, you have to make contact with any person you find interesting. A clear identity allows organic growth in the long term even though the number of views is quickly decoupled from the number of subscribers.
Willy DiasGoing from employee to entrepreneur brings a lot of questions from others and yourself, which makes a beautiful story in the end but is though in the moment. The first months in social media are the hardest because you get little views but still need to post regularly in order to generate inertia. The best way to teach well on YouTube is to teach face-to-face with many people first, and to make everything as simple as possible. You don't have to be the best on a topic to earn money if you build a quality community to which you sell your product and services linked to that topic.
Julien SongPeople may like the host but watch a show for the guests, hence the need to separate your host persona from your fan persona. The guest trusts you when he comes to your show, you must keep a welcoming attitude. The less you talk about yourself, the more people will care. Gaming allows you to be who you want when you want on top of having similarities with sports: coordination, performance, progress, rhythm, strategy, etc. It can even be a therapy because it makes you feel good for once. Fall in love with collective excellence. The end goal must not be your personal career but pushing the whole industry forward.
Arif AkinStorytelling is important, winning is not enough, you need a starting point with a more than ambitious goal and then let the path be written. The path is more important than success, the emotions of fans and partners take precedence. You need to make a show, but above all it needs a story to be told, like the Shonen spirit or a Fellowship of the Ring. The story survives victory and makes it more delicious. Being a little out of the ordinary is a strength to stand out in the market as long as you are reassuring about the essentials. Unique situations require unique profiles.
Arthur PerticozThe problem is not the lack of opportunity but saying "Yes" to too many shiny objects that are not interesting. You have to say "No" to put your energy on the most important thing, do not spread yourself too thin to survive. Interesting topics with boring language are made interesting again with pedagogy, candor, and humble curiosity. Always think of the person who discovers your universe for the first time, even if it means explaining simple principles.
Michaël de MarliaveThere are many ways to succeed, whether you play a role, prepare elements or keep it simple, because none of them are the only factors for success. It is impossible not to copy anything from other media but you should not look too much like them, the format of the content must remain dependent on the final media. The Internet must remain the Internet, it is not TV or radio.
