What attributes make a successful YouTuber?

[JV Trammell]

Hello everyone!

What do you think it takes to be a good YouTuber? Is it your on screen personality, your ability to adapt, your good looks , a hard worker, being a genuine person, or a mixture of them all?

Obviously it takes a lot of different traits, but I would love to hear ONE or TWO things you guys think it takes to be a SUCCESSFUL YouTuber. Thanks!

I think you need a good confident personality and good with editing

The things I've seen from the successful YouTube creators:

• Young
• Good-looking
• Loud and excited in the way they speak
• Able to create videos with good picture and sound quality
• They stay on-message (not necessarily the exact same video types, but I know a Grav3yard Girl video within 2 seconds of seeing it, even i Bunny says nothing, which she never does)
• Tuned into trends on YouTube and in youth culture
• Has something to offer their audience
• Not very self-referential (doesn't make too many videos about making videos)
• Has a point of view
• Has a regular upload schedule
• Engages with their audience
• Engages with other YouTube creators regularly

I think persistence and the willingness to get out of one's comfort zone and experiment with new things, failing in the process but learning as well, are key ingredients to a successful YouTuber

I think you hit the nail on the head here. There's just not one secret to becoming a successful Youtuber, you have to do all of these things. Of course that is if the OP meant successful in terms of having lots of subscribers and views.
