YouTube Needs Time

Time Consuming... 

Previously I mentioned that going viral and becoming famous through YouTube is easy and can be quick. But in all honesty, that requires a lot of luck along with hard-work and talent. YouTube did give some users a comparative “quick fame”, but that might not be the case for everyone. As we know it, luck does not favour everyone in the same way and not everyone has the privilege of being at the right place/platform at the right time, in the right and most appropriate manner. Along with the luck factor, there are some other data related matters to consider. From personal experience, I can say that the data and analytics provided by YouTube’s channel dashboard might not always prove to be very useful. The data provided by YouTube does not really help one to find out the specifics like what age group and gender watches their videos, or what is the audience’s preference? In other words, as the data provided by YouTube is pretty unstructured, it can be hard to derive appropriate and relevant information and demographics, which in turn would make it time consuming to understand the audience’s needs and wants. And this would make it harder for the uploader to cater to the specific expectations of their main viewers. Therefore, YouTube can be quite time consuming. 



Consistency & Commitment = Success

A lot of today’s famous YouTubers, became who they are because they were patient and remained consistent and committed to their job.
