5 Tips and Tricks to starting a You Tube channel or Blog

Hey everybody I'm back! Recently I joined the blogger sorority and am so excited to get to work with them! I wanted to do this post because in case any of you have a blog and wanted to start a You Tube channel and didn't know how to, you can find some tips in this post! I hope you enjoy this post and make sure to click on the link to the Blogger Sorority!





Tip #1: Shake the hate off

This tip goes for pretty much anything you do in life, shake the hate off. This is key in doing a blog or You Tube because you can't let negative comments get to you, you just have to go on with your blog or You Tube and not worry about it!



Tip #2: Cover Photos/Thumbnails

When it comes to thumbnails on You Tube I like to use a free photo editing program called PicMonkey. It lets you upload your pictures to it and you can label and even put little stickers on it!


Tip #3: Choose your background music

If you are doing a DIY it is important you have the right background music and voice over for it.
For background ,music I recommend going to Audio Jungle to buy it there. They have tons of  different ones you can pick. Also, if you do have music in your video be sure to write in the description box who the artist is and what song it is!

Tip #4 : Choose your editing system

The editing system I have is Wonder Share it's a very good editing system I bought it for $40.00 but there is also a free one. The only problem I've had with Wonder Share is that if you have an older computer it may work slower than usual. If you have an apple computer that already has iMovie on it I recommend using that!

Tip#5 Make sure you have time 

This is very important for when you have a blog or a channel. You always need to plan a day and time of when you are going to post a video or blog post.
