Is it too late to start on YouTube in 2018 or still there is a chance. And if you to do that this year then what are the categories that you must use. So we have pointed out top categories that you must choose if want to begin on YouTube this Year. The ever growing number of the users of the platform is an indication that there still are great chances to begin on the platform. But the trends have changed now and you must be able to follow these trends of the present scenario.

And YouTube in India is still a baby cause till now there is not a single individual YouTuber in India who has touched the milestone of 10 million subscribers. But today it is not just about doing what you like, now it’s a whole new game due to the huge decline in the internet data charges. So what are the top categories that you must choose if you want to start on YouTube let’s find out:

Reaction Channels

The first category is the reaction channel. This is the most simple and easiest genre that you can choose if you start on YouTube. All you have to do in this category is watch different videos whether they are some other YouTubers video or movie trailer. You just need to watch them and record your reaction while watching them then off course you have to give your opinion about it and that’s it. Though reaction channels are not generally liked as they are accused of stealing views from the original creators but there increasing popularity says otherwise. Example: Pardesi Girl

Technical Channels

Second is the technical channel category. Though this is the toughest category with most competition on YouTube right now, but the reason behind its popularity is that it’s the most profitable one YouTube. But you must strictly stick to your niche if you choose this category. For Example if choose photography then take a step further and go for mobile photography the you can even make another subcategory and go for photography by iPhone. The more specific your niche greater are the chances for you to build an audience of the similar taste. Example: Technical Guruji. Sharmaji Technical

Roasting

Another category with a rising popularity is roasting. But sadly in our country people are unaware of the concept of roasting. Instead of enjoy the roast they tend to get offended by it easily. But nowadays the rise in the popularity of these roast channels show that people are starting to accept it. Example: Carryminati, The Rawknee Show

VLOGGING

Next is the Vlogging. All you have to is to record your day to day activities and post them over the internet on a daily basis. So if you love talking to the camera start right away. The only problem that is seen with the creator of this category is that they are inviting a ton of people into their personal life which can lead to evasion of their privacy. There is a constant urge in these creators to outdo themselves which may lead them to show destructive tendencies. Example: Mumbiker Nikhil, The Gauravzone

Vines/Comic Skits

If you think that you are having a funny bone in you and you can make others laugh then just go for this. Because apart from using YouTube to gain knowledge people also tend to surf on it for entertainment. And if you can do that then there is no stopping for you. Example: Amit Badhana, Mostly Sane

Gaming Channel

The most popular and rich creators that this platform has produced are gaming channels. Though its setup may require an initial investment but considering that this category is not at all famous or just has gained a very little recognition in India investing in it can be a safe bet. For this category you have to record your gameplay or stream it live. So if you are into gaming this can be the best option for you. Example: CarryIsLive, Chapati Hindustani Gamer

So if you are planning to start on YouTube the first and the most important thing about which no one tells is the “Audio Quality” of your video because if you are doing face cams or even just voiceover this is the thing that will make or mar the overall rating of your channel.

My favourite from the three mics given above is the RODE VideoMic ME which can be used with smartphone because of the ease to carry it around and connect it instantly with the mobile to start recording.

Why Videos Go Viral? Tips to Make Viral Videos

If you are a YouTuber you might be knowing the importance that viral videos have for growth of your channel. So today we will try to unravel some of the common factors that are found in most of if not all videos that go Viral!

Let’s get straight to the point: 

1. Duration: the first thing that will always matter is the duration. Coz in today’s busy life no one has time to watch long video. So if a video is between 2-4 minutesthen there are more chances of it getting viral.
2. Dance or Music: Not all but maximum of the videos that go viral have either an elemnt of dance or of music in them. For Example: Ganganam Style, Dabbu Uncle, Dhinchak Pooja etc.
3. Trending Topics: There is a high probability of a video to go viral if it is on a trending topic.
4. Emotions: Now this is one of the most important Factors for a video to be viral. It must be able to generate an emotion. It does not have to be a good emotion like making someone happy if it is equally disgusting then also there is a high chance that it may go viral.
5. Audience: The video should have a mass appeal. Let me explain with an easy example. Have you ever thought that why are funny dogs or videos of cats doing silly things become viral? Well it’s a very simple answer; think about the number of pet lovers in the world. So its relatively easy maths the higher the audience for a particular video the greater the chance of it going viral.
6. External Factors: This one’s a rare phenomenon but if there is a video about even the stupidest of things but, a social media influencer or a celebrity tweets about it or mentions it then Volla! There fans will go crazy on the video and then the chance of that video going viral increases dramatically.
