And among all the steps that help you become a YouTube star the following stand out:
- Be clear on what success means to you

The Two things that together can lead you to stardom are, knowledge at how YouTube itself operates, and one’s proficiency at recording and putting on the platform to get one to stardom.
If it’s money you’re after, be informed that the same comes only after a measure of success. And if it’s success, it’s the quality of your work which determines the speed of your ascent.

If it’s money you want to make, be clear how much money you want to make, and in what timelines. On the other hand, if it’s about getting recognition, define the number of followers and likes you intend to garner and in what timespan.
Defining these helps you to create the right path to reach the objective. That said, remember that YouTube being an ocean, people do feel lost and are known to change their focus to adjust to their surroundings.
- Locate your source for content which shall make you a star
You could either create original content by yourself or could depend upon the vast repository that YouTube has within itself to create something as original.

In place of that, plan and create content that is original, attractive and welcoming to the largest group of people in the target audience. Here it’s important to understand that once you rule your target audience, getting them back in the right state of mind is nothing short of Herculean.

Jack of all is always the master of none. And without an essential mastery over a subject, there isn’t much of a chance of getting the right recognition. You get generalists on YouTube by the tons who disappear from people’s minds just as quickly.
Forming a niche, working at it, specializing in it and being great at it is what gets you to the top. If you’ve formed a niche’, stick to it, and grow the same. Be it vehicles, aircrafts, cooking, technology or any other genre or subject, what’s called for is specialization through the creation of a niche. And of course, promoting it with the right content at the right time and space.
