One way is to get inspired by others. Watch the funniest videos on YouTube. Then think about ways to mix them up, making parodies or remixes. Choose anything you basically love to watch, taking note of what your friends find funny too.
Pick a good profile name. For example, don’t put your name but a weird or witty sounding name. Don’t make it too long; most people won’t type a 94- letter long name. Use a good profile picture. Don’t make it too dumb, because people won’t think what you want them to think, and don’t make it too cool, because people will know that you got that off the internet. Make your profile photo you or something not too funny.
If you make tutorials, don’t make them look complicated and hard. Use clear, short instructions and promise that the end result is something anyone can manage.
Less is often more. Keep that in mind.
Include a catchy introduction fanfare at the beginning of every video. This will make your videos seem more professional and interesting. It also helps to build your brand if you use something that identifies your videos each time. You can also include an outtake at the end of each video. Introduce yourself and to say your name clearly so viewers will understand you. If they like your video and know who it’s by (you), they will watch more. Talk with ease and laugh a little at your mistakes. Depending on how interesting they are, you could even make bloopers at the end. Sure people will laugh at you, but you will most likely get a thumbs up.
Keep your videos short. Most people don’t have time for a 46-minute video. Even if they do, they will probably stop it in the middle of your video.
On YouTube, clickbait mostly concerns the thumbnail and the title.
