Top rating of the best YouTube video bloggers in Russia

Progress does not stand still and if earlier you had to go to work to earn money, now it is enough to create a video blog on YouTube and things will start to move forward. But what is video blogging? How to make money on this? And who can you look up to? These questions will be discussed in the publication.

Video blog, what kind of fruit and what it is eaten with.

A video blog is one of the varieties of blogs where information is transmitted not in writing or graphically, but in a video. Recordings of such videos very often combine embedded video, text support, music, photographs or pictures. Recordings can be different: a video can consist of one block or several parts. To date, the main and only platform on which all video blogs are concentrated is the YouTube channel.It was created in 2005, and the Russian-language version appeared in 2007.

Today, anyone can create a blog, and it does not matter if he has a professional camera or not. It doesn't even matter if he can speak well. In some cases, slight burr or stuttering can even become a blogger's "trick". But first things first.

1. The first thing you need to blog is regularity. Viewers will not subscribe to an empty channel with only 5 entries from two years ago. The viewer always wants to see something new, and if this new one appears constantly (at least once a week), then the subscribers (like Pavlov’s dogs) will develop a conditioned reflex, and they will watch the channel constantly. Of course, you still need to come to this - negative reviews, dislikes and complete "ignore", this is a normal situation for a novice blogger. The so-called quiet time, when a blogger can improve his speech and begin to feel more free in front of the camera. Plus, you don't have to think that no one will see the video - there has never been a video on YouTube that no one has watched.
2. The second rule of a video blogger is video quality. This is especially true for those who need to focus on details. It is much easier for the viewer to find a similar video than peering at the screen trying to guess what they are trying to tell them. And you don’t need to immediately run to the shops for professional cameras, ordinary “soap dishes” will also cope well with this task, the main thing is that the room is well lit. The same thing applies to sound, the viewer will not listen, so you need to speak loudly and clearly.
3. Music and intro are important but not essential things in a blog.And if a blogger decides to please himself with a thematic intro for a video, it should not be very long and intrusive. As for the music that can be heard during breaks, it should not cause irritation.
4. And last but not least, the character of the blogger. As statistics show, those bloggers who are charismatic and joyful have the most subscribers. The viewer, of course, will appreciate the constructiveness of the information presented, but if it is read in an emotionless and sluggish voice, then even the most patient will turn off the video. The character, charisma and energy of a person can be clearly seen on the record, and if a blogger does not naturally have amazing charisma, he can fix it by adding a few of his own comments, a couple of jokes (those who have a bad sense of humor should refrain) and some interesting facts .

Rookie Mistakes

Creating blogs in video format is not that difficult, but, nevertheless, beginners make a number of common mistakes. There are 3 main ones among them:

• Lack of purpose. Some novice video bloggers to the question: “Why did you create a blog?” can only answer indistinctly: "To be." And there are 90% of such "cadres". Because of this approach, many are disappointed in video blogging. To prevent this from happening, you need to set specific goals for yourself, for example: “I want to earn so much per month on the blog so that I can go to Japan in such and such a year.” It is important to set a specific goal and the exact time, then the work will go much better.
• Not regularity. As already mentioned, the blog must be systematically filled with new videos. If you upload 1 video per month, then the blogger will reach the intended goal, at best, in 8 years.One or two new videos a week are enough.
• No channel web page. It is also called the accumulative page. It is especially relevant for those who want to make money on video. Such pages can be sites with a blog subscription button or groups in social networks, they will allow you to “save” a random viewer and make him a part of the audience of regular subscribers.

In general, all blogs can be divided into types according to criteria. For example, types of blogs are ranked by publications, number of authors, purpose of creation, content format (this includes video blogs) and scale of activity. Starting your video blog, you need to decide on only two criteria: the purpose and type of video. Today, the following typology of videos is distinguished:

• Instructions or training - a blogger shows how to use something correctly, this topic is always in demand, because it is much easier for the user to look than to read.
• Overview - has recently been gaining more and more popularity, as many users have begun to shop through the Web, they are wondering what kind of item will come from a particular store.
• Vlog - yes, the name is correct, vlog, aka video diary. The blogger shows his daily activities: trips, gatherings with friends or shopping.
• Sketch - or staged scenes depicting comical situations. These are original films-miniatures, with their own plot.
• Lat's play - a video about how a gamer passes the next level in the game.
• Show - or the last refuge for those who have not yet got on TV, the main thing is to submit an interesting idea.
• Interviews are strange, but this type of video is also very popular, because many fans will want to see their idol in a new role.But, since there are so many idols, there is nowhere to take it, you can just ask funny questions to passers-by, this will definitely interest passers-by.

And as already mentioned, vlogging can be profitable. How much do bloggers earn? It all depends on the number of subscribers. So, blogs with more than 1 million subscribers can earn from 200 thousand to 1.5 million rubles a month. And if you do not take such large-scale figures, but, for example, the average number of subscribers is 5000, then a blogger can receive at least $150 per month. Here the policy is simple, for 1000 views the blogger gets $1.

YouTube channels: what are they and the most popular ones.

What is a video blog, the main types, how to create it and how much you can earn is already clear. The question remains, what are YouTube channels? Channels are where bloggers upload their videos. Viewers subscribe exclusively to the channel, but not as the record itself. If the blogger has his own channel, you can monetize it, and if not, create it.

In the TOP-10 most famous channels in the world are:

1. In the first place is the channel of a blogger from Sweden called "Pew Die Pie". To date, he has over 36.9 million subscribers. It was created in 2010 and since then 2500 videos have been uploaded to it.
2. Second place belongs to a channel called "Hola Soy German", which was created by a blogger from Chile. The number of subscribers to date is 22.3 million. The channel has been operating since 2011, during which time 128 videos have appeared on it, with a total complexity of views of more than 2 billion.
3. In third place is the channel, which has two owners: "child of America" ​​with the name "Smosh". The number of subscribers has long crossed the mark of 19 million.The channel began its broadcast at the end of 2004 and during this time more than 500 videos appeared on it.
4. The fourth place also belongs to the channel from the USA. Rihanna VEVO has 16.7 million subscribers and was created in 2009 with 92 videos uploaded.
5. Once again, America is ahead of the rest, in fifth place is the Katy Perry VEVO channel, which has 16.5 million viewers and 89 videos.
6. Finally, a channel from the UK broke into the TOP-10 list. Sixth place is occupied by the broadcast "One Direction VEVO". Broadcast began in 2010, the channel has 157 videos and 16.3 million subscribers.
7. And again, the United States does not want to give up seventh place to anyone: the Eminem VEVO channel - 56 videos and 15 million viewers.
8. In eighth place is a channel run by a pretty American woman named "Jenna Marbles" after her. The channel has 253 videos and 15 million subscribers.
9. Ninth place also belongs to the channel run by a blogger from America - "Nigahiga". Today, the number of subscribers is 14 million, and the channel has 239 videos.
10. And the last, tenth, place belongs to the Taylor Swift VEVO channel, which has 14 million viewers and 70 videos. Has existed since 2009.
