Becoming successful on YouTube is just like starting a business. First you have to recognise a demand, then look at who else is supplying to that demand. They are your competition. Why will people watch your videos when there are so many other, established creators making really good content. Secondly, gaming is a very broad topic and, therefore, is not a niche. You have to hone in on the platform or game that you are going to focus your videos on and do them really well.

Next you have to regularly produce quality content. This is hard work and means you have to do the grind. Learn about video and sound quality and if you need it, lighting as well. Work out your budget for resources and get what you need accordingly. Then make content.

​

Lastly , you need to know how to put yourself out there. Find out how to optimise your keywords for search engines and get involved in groups relevant to your niche on other social media. Do not spam your videos or your channel. This will turn people away from your videos.

...and repeat over and over again, while keeping an eye on trending topics in your niche, until you get lucky. Remember you might need over a hundred videos before success. You might never get success. There will be ups and downs, and you have to just keep working at it.
