Have a Strong Concept<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The worst sin you can commit is to make a video that\u2019s about nothing or, conversely, about too many things. A focused YouTube video that deals with one main theme or issue will be much more watchable than something that\u2019s all over the place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-Bright-Idea.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-Bright-Idea.jpg\" alt=\"Have a Strong Concept image\" class=\"wp-image-78317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-Bright-Idea.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-Bright-Idea-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-Bright-Idea-610x344.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/2-Bright-Idea-80x45.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Consider making multiple videos, unless you\u2019re making a variety program with dedicated segments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Plan, Plan and Plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are some people who can just turn on a camera and make magic happen with their very first YouTube video, for the rest of us there\u2019s no substitute for planning. A final video, even a basic one, is the result of many moving parts coming together. If you\u2019re running a one-person project, then you\u2019re responsible for organizing all of those parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In media lingo, this is known as \u201cpre-production\u201d. If you take the time to do it, your first YouTube video will be much better for it. This includes:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3-Planning.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3-Planning.jpg\" alt=\"Plan, Plan and Plan image\" class=\"wp-image-78318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3-Planning.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3-Planning-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3-Planning-610x344.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/3-Planning-80x45.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Writing your script.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Planning out shots, additional footage and the look of the video.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A list of equipment you\u2019ll need, on-screen props, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-production looks different depending on the scale and type of video, but you can\u2019t hit the record button before ensuring everything is in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Great Audio Is King<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019d think that in a video, the most important thing to get right are the visuals. However, it\u2019s both more difficult and important to get the sound right. Viewers will put up with some visual quality problems. However, if your audio is unpleasant to listen to or hard to understand, viewers will switch it off.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/4-Microphones.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/4-Microphones.jpg\" alt=\"Great Audio Is King image\" class=\"wp-image-78319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/4-Microphones.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/4-Microphones-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/4-Microphones-610x344.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/4-Microphones-80x45.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Making a good, professional-sounding audio recording isn\u2019t too hard, but you\u2019ll need to do a little homework to figure out the right solution for your needs. This will include selecting the right microphone, learning how to use it properly and also how to treat and edit your audio after it\u2019s been recorded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get started, we recommend that you have a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/make-your-voice-sound-professional-with-these-quick-audacity-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Make Your Voice Sound Professional With These Quick Audacity Tips<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Lighting Matters More Than Camera Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One common mistake people who are new to making video commit is to focus on their camera too much. The idea is that the better the camera, the better the footage. However, even a cheap camera can create great images with proper lighting. The best camera can do nothing to fix a poorly-lit scene.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-Lightning.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-Lightning.jpg\" alt=\"Lighting Matters More Than Camera Quality image\" class=\"wp-image-78320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-Lightning.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-Lightning-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-Lightning-610x344.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/5-Lightning-80x45.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>For some ideas on good fundamental lighting, check out <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/putting-together-a-youtube-studio-on-a-budget\/\" target=\"_blank\">Putting Together a YouTube Studio On a Budget<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Write a Script for a Teleprompter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Teleprompters used to be equipment only big TV studios could afford, but now you can get an affordable one that\u2019s perfect for YouTube work. These basic teleprompters use a smartphone or tablet as the display source. You mount the teleprompter on your tripod, mount your camera on the prompter and then slide your phone or tablet into the teleprompter.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-Teleprompter.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-Teleprompter.jpg\" alt=\"Write a Script for a Teleprompter image\" class=\"wp-image-78321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-Teleprompter.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-Teleprompter-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-Teleprompter-610x344.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/6-Teleprompter-80x45.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This allows you to read your script while looking directly into the camera. It\u2019s up to you whether you want to read the script verbatim or just use it as a way to keep track of key talking points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to a teleprompter, you\u2019ll also want a good teleprompter app for the phone or tablet you\u2019ll be using. We\u2019re quite fond of <a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.ayman.elegantteleprompter.paid&amp;hl=en_ZA&amp;gl=US\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Elegant Teleprompter Pro<\/a>, but there are many to choose from. You may also want to use a Bluetooth remote so that you can control the text without having to be at the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Do Multiple Takes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First time video creators may have the impression that those great videos they see on YouTube were done in a single take. The truth is that great videos take many\u00a0 <em>takes <\/em>to get right. SD cards are cheap these days and you don\u2019t have to worry about running out of film.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-Clapperboard.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-Clapperboard.jpg\" alt=\"Do Multiple Takes image\" class=\"wp-image-78322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-Clapperboard.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-Clapperboard-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-Clapperboard-610x344.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/7-Clapperboard-80x45.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>So hit that record button and keep at it until you\u2019re happy with your performance. Later, when editing your video, you\u2019ll discard all but the best takes. It\u2019s also perfectly fine to construct your video out of the best pieces of individual takes. You can edit them in such a way that it won\u2019t be obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Edit Your Video!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This may seem an obvious point, but there are plenty of YouTube videos out there that didn\u2019t have the benefit of proper editing. Simply lining up your clips after trimming them isn\u2019t enough. Instead, take the time to edit your raw material carefully into a cohesive product.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/8-Editing.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/8-Editing.jpg\" alt=\"Edit Your Video! image\" class=\"wp-image-78323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/8-Editing.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/8-Editing-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/8-Editing-610x344.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/8-Editing-80x45.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Think about the structure of your video, the pacing, and where you want to direct the attention of the viewer. Don\u2019t worry about being fancy. Basic editing, such as simple cuts applied well, will do more to elevate a video\u2019s quality than advanced editing done poorly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need some help, we highly-recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/6-video-editing-tips-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">6 Video Editing Tips For Beginners<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. B-Roll Is Your Friend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re going to make videos for YouTube, then you need to become familiar with the concept of \u201cB-Roll\u201d. That\u2019s a type of supporting footage used to illustrate what your video is about. For example, if your A-Roll is footage of you talking into the camera, the B-Roll would be footage that demonstrates what you\u2019re talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>B-Roll serves many different purposes. For one thing, it helps keep the attention of viewers. It always helps to offer a variety of shots and visuals to keep things interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/9-B-Roll.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/9-B-Roll.jpg\" alt=\"B-Roll Is Your Friend image\" class=\"wp-image-78324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/9-B-Roll.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/9-B-Roll-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/9-B-Roll-610x344.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/9-B-Roll-80x45.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>B-Roll is also useful for disguising cuts in your A-Roll or otherwise covering up visual mistakes. You can use anything as B-Roll: images, action camera footage, screen captures, etc. Just as long as it adds something to your video and doesn\u2019t strictly serve as window-dressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Your Thumbnail Is Crucial<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before viewers watch a single second of your video or read its description, they\u2019ll see your thumbnail. In many ways this makes your video thumbnail one of the most important parts of your first YouTube video. If your thumbnail doesn\u2019t grab the attention of potential viewers, then the content of your video becomes irrelevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube thumbnails have their own genres, trends and design conventions. The best advice we can give you is to look at the thumbnails of other YouTube creators who make content in the same area as you. What\u2019s appealing about their thumbnails? What information do they put front and center?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/10-Thumbnail.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/10-Thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"Your Thumbnail Is Crucial image\" class=\"wp-image-78325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/10-Thumbnail.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/10-Thumbnail-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/10-Thumbnail-610x344.jpg 610w, https:\/\/www.online-tech-tips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/10-Thumbnail-80x45.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be a graphic designer or a Photoshop wizard either, thanks to tools such as Canva you can quickly put together templates that suit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Keywords and Descriptions Are Worth Your Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you care at all about getting as many people to watch your video as possible, then you shouldn\u2019t neglect your video tags. Look at the tags that other videos you are in competition with use. Try to think up as many relevant search terms for your video as possible. This will help people find your video both via the YouTube internal search function and external search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Learn from Your Mistakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your first YouTube video is out, it is worth paying attention to what people have to say. As long as you can separate constructive criticism from comments that add nothing to the conversation, you can make each video better than the last. One day when you publish video 100, you\u2019ll have honed your content to a fine edge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Putting your first video out on YouTube can be a scary thing!
