The first strategy: riding the trend

A trend ends and another begins, and there is always more, so you have to use this to your advantage and make the trends bring you thousands of views and new followers. How?

This is easy through Keywords , which are in short the words that viewers are searching for, and by knowing which of them are heavily searched, you will be able to reach a larger number of viewers.

Also, following the events and news related to your channel's content will enable you to know the topics that your audience is interested in at a particular time.

Therefore, you have to be a good follower of the field you are talking about in your blog, and take advantage of any opportunity to make content about anything that is gaining popularity with the audience at a particular time.

The second strategy: shocking and striking headlines

Just as people judge books by their covers, they also judge videos by their titles and their Thumbnails.

So be sure to take your time choosing your video titles well so that you can attract more views and sales.

For example, instead of writing the title “earning from affiliate marketing” for your video, make it “how I earned $ 1000 per month from affiliate marketing.”

This made a huge difference, didn't it? But make sure you don't mislead the audience, use catchy and shocking headlines but don't mislead your audience.

You can trick them into opening your video, but then what? They will watch the video and get frustrated with it and your channel, and they will not follow you or watch the rest of your videos.

Treat the title as a promise. When you write a title for your video or article, you are making a promise to the viewer or reader and you have to keep it.

The third strategy: Make a series of videos on one topic

A very successful strategy for creating YouTube videos is to choose a large topic and break it down into several smaller, interconnected topics.

This will not only help you rank up your videos and attract more interested viewers, but it will also make it easier for you to set up your own video content plan.

One of the most famous channels to do this is Crash Course, which at the time of writing this article has achieved more than one billion and 700 million views and 13.7 million subscribers.

This channel takes a big title such as computer science, space science, or literature, and makes a series of short videos about it, and thus it has gained great fame in that anyone wants to learn any subject that they research in first.

Do this too and over time you will gain a reputation for being a reliable and good source of information, get thousands of views, new followers and earn a lot of money.

Fourth strategy: Introducing something new and not expecting it

You may think that the fourth strategy of creating YouTube videos is a bit stupid, as you are expected to provide something new that will benefit the audience.

But the reality says otherwise, the content on the Internet, especially the Arabic content, is repeated and repetitive, and you rarely find that there is someone providing original and useful content.

That is why the opportunity to become famous is available to Arabs who provide useful and original content, and to be one of them you have to focus heavily on your content.

Watch a large number of Arabic and English videos that revolve around the topic that you will present, and then try to present something new, whether it is information, an angle of view, or simplification, or even a collection and condensation of the information in those videos.

Fifth Strategy: Short Videos

This strategy has proven successful in the recent period, as all platforms have become prepared and encouraged for short videos, whether YouTube, Instagram, Facebook or even YouTube.

So you can focus on using this type of video on all platforms and benefit from it in building a large following in the fastest time.

Even if your videos are long, you can cut them, convert them into short videos, and publish them on the aforementioned platforms.

The advantage in short videos at this time; That you can profit from it, and to learn more about this, read our articles dealing with profit from short videos, including an article: How to profit from Facebook Rails (exclusive comprehensive guide) .

Sixth strategy: Follow a specific style in your videos

This is one of the strategies for creating YouTube videos, you need to have a decent audience that is already following you.

The secret to the strategy is that people like what they get used to and can expect, and you can use this to your advantage if you use a specific style in your videos.

Especially if your channel specializes in reviews, for example, and to bring you closer to this, let's imagine that you are reviewing novels on your channel.

To create a specific style for your videos, you can - no matter how different the novels are - start by talking about the author of the novel, then about the language of the novel and the nature of the character of the novel, then the plot of the novel, what is the purpose and lessons from it, and finally the advantages and disadvantages of the novel.

This is a specific style for your videos that you can use to review a novel by Naguib Mahfouz, or by Haruki Murakami, or any other writer whatsoever.

Seventh strategy: honesty and objectivity

The strategy of honesty and objectivity is one of the most important strategies for creating YouTube videos if your niche is a product review.

I think you see a lot of reviews and articles about products before you buy them - as do all my acquaintances -.

And you definitely know the sites and YouTube channels that you can trust with their opinions and product reviews, and you can be sure that they won't mislead you.

Well that is the seventh strategy for creating YouTube videos in our channel, being honest and objective in your review and showing the advantages and disadvantages of real products will make your followers trust you.

Thus, your viewership and followers will increase, and these followers will advise their friends to watch your videos and know your opinions about products before buying them.

Of course, honesty and objectivity does not mean that you cannot market and benefit from the products, but it does mean that you do not mislead viewers in order to push them to buy the products.

Strategy 8: Collaborate with other celebrities and YouTubers

The eighth strategy on our list for smart YouTube creation is to host and collaborate with other celebrities and YouTubers who have a lot of followers in your niche.

While you are preparing a video of this type, you will gain new viewers from the followers of this celebrity who have not heard about you before.

There are many channels on YouTube now that do this in all fields, whether through videos or through podcasts that are broadcast on YouTube.

You can also do this, and all you have to do is find out how to reach these celebrities and get them to agree to appear with you.

Strategy 9: Personal Videos (Make yourself the focus of your channel, not the content)

The 9th strategy I recommend for smart YouTube creation is to make yourself the centerpiece of your channel and content.

That everything is related to you in some way, and that you can tell a story about what you are presenting or relate to you, your life, or a situation that happened to you.

People love and are addicted to stories, so if you want them to keep following and watching you try to give them your content the way they like it.

Also, people need “once”, which is why YouTube channels for couples, families and friends are very popular.

You can see this in brands that associate with people, such as Elon Musk, Gary V, Tony Robbins, Mahmoud Elaraby, and more.

Strategy Ten: Stories

The tenth strategy that we recommend to you in order to create YouTube videos intelligently is to use stories, which is the general strategy that is one of the ways to do what we mentioned in the ninth strategy.

I don't need to talk about stories or the skill of story telling much, we live in a world based on stories and stories, and from childhood until death we learn about the world through stories.

You can take advantage of people's love and familiarity with stories to create YouTube videos, and this is by finding a story entry for the topic you are telling.

Storytelling doesn't depend on the type, discipline, or niche of the content but can be applied to just about anything, from teaching people plumbing and carpentry to rocket science.

Although it is quite a challenge and requires a relatively more effort, it will pay off and you will see a huge increase in watching your videos.

By the way, if you want us to dedicate articles on the skill of storytelling, and how to use stories in marketing, tell us in the comments.

Strategy Eleven: What Viewers Want

Strategy No. 11 for creating YouTube videos boils down to one simple and intuitive sentence: Give what your viewers are asking.

Yes, ask your followers what they want you to provide: about the topics that interest them, their questions that they want you to answer, the information they want to verify, the topics you covered and they want more details about.

Follow their comments, see what they tell you, encourage them, and have a medium

 of communication that allows them to provide ideas for episodes and content for you.

Lots of content creators do this, and they are relieved of the burden of searching for content that their audience likes, and you should too.

Twelfth Strategy: Videos answering questions

Recently, Q&A videos have become one of the most popular video formats on the most popular Arabic YouTube channels .

There are many channels that I personally follow, whether those that provide literary, scientific, sports, political or health content, adopting this smart strategy to create a successful video, at least per month.

Using this type of video will benefit you not only in achieving views, but also in interacting with your followers, and building a personal link and link with them.

This link makes them have a lot of loyalty to you and they always make sure to follow you, and the more you do these episodes regularly, the more resonance and results you will find from these videos.

The other advantage of this strategy is that it is not tiring, that is, you will not tire yourself in editing episodes, but will often publish them as they are.

In addition, now many platforms, including YouTube, Facebook and Tik Tok, allow you to launch Live through them and also get monetary contributions from followers, meaning that the topic can be very profitable for you.

The Thirteenth Strategy: Competitions and Challenges

Strategy number 13 on our nearly finished list of YouTube video creation strategies is to make contest and challenge videos.

And if you are a voracious follower of YouTube like me, you will find that almost all channels with different content have adopted the strategy of competitions and challenges.

And the audience loves it as well, so I highly advise you to think about how you can implement this strategy in your channel in a way that suits your content.

A final note, you can combine the strategy of contests and challenges with the strategy of collaborating with celebrities and YouTubers that we have talked about.

The fourteenth strategy: copying strategies for successful channels with similar content

“Make and copy until you innovate”, as a content creator you know very well the necessity of imitation in the beginning, you have not yet reached your own style and have not realized your strengths and weaknesses.

Therefore, you need to imitate the different methods of others in order to develop your own style and your own way over time and stop imitating competitors and others come to imitate you.

The same is the case with YouTube video creation strategies, imitate successful video strategies in your niche and content.

And continue like this until you find the secrets of successful videos and you can apply them in your videos and channel in your own style.

But be careful when applying this strategy to imitate one person or channel and become a carbon copy of it, but rather imitate several channels and people, this is how you will be able to benefit from this strategy and it will bear fruit over time.

Fifteenth Strategy: Create Your Own Strategy

The 15th and final YouTube video creation strategy is to trust yourself and your intuition and follow your own strategy.

Although we have 14 proven and successful strategies for you, you have to think outside the box to achieve big and fast success.

Therefore, we advise you to try for yourself your own ideas and see whether you will succeed or fail, and even not to despair if you fail and try again, there are no shortcuts to success and no one can guide you to them.
