How to become a YouTuber in 2024

YouTubers make a lot of money. YouTubers have been called the “rock stars of the Internet.”

 

They’re also becoming more and more important for brands, who are eager to get their products in front of viewers.

 

Whether you want to start a YouTube channel as a hobby or as a full-time job, there are plenty of ways to make it happen in Nigeria.

 

What topic should you open YouTube about

 

First, choose your content type. There are plenty of options out there, including gaming and makeup tutorials, vlogs (video blogs), beauty tutorials, and more.

 

Hence, try to figure out what kind of videos appeal to your audience—are they interested in cooking? In fashion?

Or maybe they’re just looking for some entertainment.

 

Once you’ve figured that out, think about how you plan on monetizing your channel. Is it going to be ad-supported?

 

Or is it going to be funded by sponsorships from companies?

 

In layman’s language, YouTubers are people who make videos and post them online (usually on YouTube).

 

In Nigeria, there are several different ways to become a YouTuber and some of them are easier than others.

 

If you want to be one of the best popular YouTubers, then here are step-by-step guides on how to start.

 

How to become a professional YouTuber in Nigeria

 

To open a YouTube channel and become a successful professional YouTuber, first, you need a computer with a good resolution.

 

• Computer with a good resolution.
• A microphone that can be attached to your computer or smartphone.
• Good lighting for the best results, whether it’s natural light or artificial.
• You want to make sure you have enough of both so that you don’t end up with shadows in your video and it looks like something out of an old movie!
• A tripod is also important because if you don’t have one then there will be times when things move around while recording (like when walking) and this could cause problems with stability and quality as well as create more noise than necessary on the camera equipment such as lenses etcetera.
• So make sure before buying anything else!
• Make sure whatever camera brand/model fits within these guidelines above works well with all other equipment listed above (tripod etcetera).
• Check the batteries. If you have a camera that uses AA or AAA batteries, make sure they are fully charged.
• Check the memory card. Your camera should come with a removable SD (Secure Digital) memory card; if not, it can be purchased separately at any store selling electronic goods.
• Make sure to check that there is enough space on this card for all of your footage and pictures from today’s shoot!
• Check the lens (or lenses). Make sure all of your equipment is fitted securely so as not to move during shooting time; if something does get knocked off accidentally during motion capture sessions then it might fall out into someone’s lap or onto an expensive piece of furniture—and nobody wants that!
• To ensure no damage occurs while recording video footage using multiple cameras connected via HDMI cable simultaneously (the best way), each camera should be mounted onto its own tripod mount before being used by any other person involved in production workflows such as ours here at [company name].

Tips on how to record videos for YouTube

 

A video that is going to be posted on YouTube should be recorded and edited in a very professional way because you can’t control the people who are going to view it.

 

To record your video, let the tips below guide you on how you can record and edit it the right way.

 

1. Location

The location has a lot to do with how you want your channel to look and feel. The location of your video can be used as a theme or inspiration for the content of your channel.

 

For example, if you’re doing a cooking show and live in Lagos, then perhaps it would make sense to film all of the recipes at home in their original state since that’s where they were created.

 

But if instead, you’re filming somewhere else (like New York City), then maybe it would be more appropriate to use different props such as kitchen tools or even food items themselves instead of simply using the same ones over again every time something goes wrong during filming because they’re easier on set since there aren’t any restrictions on what kind of equipment can be used while shooting outside one location.

 

Unlike within one building where everything must be kept safe at all times by someone who knows what they’re doing!

 

2. Use a tripod

If you have just started managing a YouTube channel, you may not have the money to hire a video shutter.

 

However, you can shut your video yourself without needing someone to help you hold the camera. This can be done with the aid of a tool called a “tripod”.

 

A tripod is a portable device used to support, stabilize and elevate a camera, a flash unit, or other video graphics or observational/measuring equipment.

 

As its name implies, it’s three legs and a mounting head to couple with a camera.

 

There are different types of tripods in the market. For you to buy the one you need, please visit any tech store and ask for it. Or you can also order it online on an e-commerce website.

 

Tripod price: N5, 000 and above.

How to use a tripod to record a video by yourself.

 

1. Extend the legs starting from the wider top sections.
2. Position the tripod with one leg pointing in the direction of the lens.
3. Adjust the length of the lower leg sections to level the tripod.
4. Attach a baseplate to the camera, and use a coin to tighten it.
5. Click or clamp the camera onto the tripod head.

 

3. Use a good microphone

 

You use the microphone in the event that your laptop’s speaker doesn’t function in a normal way. In fact, If you have a new laptop whose speaker works better, then you wouldn’t need to buy a microphone anymore.

 

 

 

However, you can also buy it to make your tone sound sharper and clearer to your audiences. Here are some best microphone tools recommended for YouTubers:

 

 

• Shure SM7B Best Overall.
• Audio-Technica AT2020 Best Runner Up.
• Blue Yeti Best USB.
• Audio-Technica AT2005 Best Budget USB.
• Rode PodMic Best Budget XLR.
• Electro-Voice RE20 Best SM7B Alternative.
• HyperX Quadcast Best For Gamers.
• Elgato Wave.

 

4. Use a good camera

Another way to make your YouTube video stand out from the crowd is to shut it with the best good camera. After recording it, please make sure to edit it with iMovie, Final Cut Pro, or Adobe Premiere Pro CC.

 

 

The first option is a perfect tool for beginners.

If you are a complete newbie, you can use iMovie on Mac OS.

 

 

5. Use good lighting

Another step to becoming a YouTuber in Nigeria is using good lighting when you are recording your videos. With the help of a lighting tool, you can shut down video anytime even during the night.

 

Lighting makes your skin smooth, helps your video look very sharp, etc.

 

especially if you don’t have access to natural light or if you’re filming indoors and need to avoid reflections from windows and other sources of light that can distract viewers from your content.

 

Find an appropriate background for your video

 

For example, white backgrounds are best for product reviews; green grass for travel videos). You can purchase inexpensive ones at most hardware stores or online retailers like Amazon Prime Now Services Nigeria Limited.

Then add a link back to your website (or Facebook page), as well as links for social media accounts like Twitter or Instagram—and even an email address if you have one!

 

Finally, add a phone number or street address so potential viewers can contact you directly if they want more information about the topic of their interest.

How to make money on YouTube in Nigeria

There are many earning options for YouTubers. You can make money from YouTube by uploading paid content (videos) or selling merchandise based on your channel.

If you want to get started with YouTube, here are the top four (4) ways to monetize your YouTube channel.

 

• Direct advertisements
• Merchandising products
• Paid promotions
• Affiliate marketing

 

Note that YouTube is not a get-money-quick scheme. Hence, if you are looking for a way to make money very quickly without doing determined work, then YouTube is not meant for you.

 

To make cool money from YouTube, it depends on the number of your subscribers, how frequently you upload videos, the location of your subscribers, the types of videos you produce, etc.

 

In fact, according to one medium-sized Nigerian YouTuber we interacted with on Quora days back reviewed that YouTube pays him an average of $0.05-$0.07 USD per view.

 

Hence, for example, if he has 15k subscribers and has like 25k views in a day, then let’s calculate his earnings on a daily.

 

$0.05-$0.07 USD * 25, 000. His earnings on a daily basis are $1, 250 – $1, 750 on a daily basis. If we calculate his earnings on a monthly basis, how much does he earn?

 

Also note that to qualify to monetize your channel, you have to have at least 4,000 hours of watch time within the last year and at least 1,000 subscribers.

 

The key to earning money on YouTube is sticking with one topic of your choice and making sure you produce content (videos) related to that topic regularly.

 

According to different blogs I read guides from when I was about to launch my YouTube channel, they almost recommended a person to Know his/her channel’s purpose which is also known as niche/topic.

 

Saviour Adugba, a content creator at https://techeconomy.ng/ suggested in one of his articles that there are four main different ways to make money as a YouTuber in Nigeria. Those methods are YouTube Ads (Adsense), Brands Sponsorships, Affiliate Links, and Merchandise Sales.

 

In conclusion, to become a well-paid YouTuber in Nigeria, first, open a channel, then pick a niche and regularly update your subscribers with new videos.

 

How to grow your YouTube channel

 

1) Find an audience:

 

You can’t just start making videos and expect people to watch them. First, you need to find out what your audience is looking for and then cater your content to them.

 

For example, if you’re making a video about fashion and beauty products, your viewers might not want anything too technical or complicated (like makeup tips).

 

They also might not have time for long-form content (like tutorials), so maybe you should consider shorter videos like reviews or product recommendations instead.

2) Build up your brand with sponsorships:

One way that many YouTubers make money is by getting sponsored by companies that sell products that they review on their channels.

 

This can be a great way for brands to connect with their audience without having any advertising costs at all. And it can also help create trust between the two parties since viewers know that the company is supporting what they’re watching!

 

Becoming a YouTuber in Nigeria is not as hard as you might think. One of the first steps is to choose a name that will make people remember your channel.

 

Then, start building your brand by creating videos and uploading them on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter.

 

Once you have a decent audience subscribed to you then you can start making money from YouTube by uploading paid content (videos) or selling merchandise based on your channel.

 

If you’ve got your video ready for upload online, there are two main ways of doing this: uploading directly from the program’s interface or uploading through an external hosting service such as Dropbox or Google Drive.

 

If you want to upload directly from Adobe Social Media Video Maker (ASMVM), then open ASMVM and click “Create” on the top left-hand side of the screen.

 

Choose “Video” and “Upload with ASMVM.” You’ll then be prompted with instructions on how to upload it via FTP (File Transfer Protocol).
