YouTube Gold Buttons are badges you may have heard of even if you're not into vlogging. This is a special award designed by YouTube's video hosting creative team. It is received by users who maintain their channel and were able to reach the set number of subscribers.
Now there are already three types of buttons - silver, gold and diamond. From the article you will learn what you need to do to become the owner of one of them, and what will it give you?
What is the golden button?
YouTube Gold Buttons are the awards given for 1,000,000 people who subscribe to a channel. Even in our time, when some “explosive” video can get a million views per day, such a number of people in subscriptions is a rare phenomenon. Accordingly, these awards are not so common.
A diamond button is an even bigger rarity, which can only be obtained if you pass the mark of 10,000,000 channel subscribers. At the moment, no one in the post-Soviet space has achieved such a mark from the leadership of the resource. But a lot of simpler silver buttons have already been issued. No wonder, because this award is given to everyone who collects from 100,000 followers.
Be that as it may, the appearance of the button only indicates how popular you are. And they bring only a sense of satisfaction. Otherwise, YouTube owners do not reward button owners in any way. Unless sometimes they give symbolic prizes.
How can I get the golden YouTube button?
Have you figured out what the YouTube gold button is for, and now you want to get your own? Then you have to work hard on optimizing the channel, attracting subscribers, creating interesting content. To speed up the process, you can use some tips:
- The secret of success is competent optimization. Attend a training course, or at least read online tutorials on the subject.
- Be sure to remind viewers to subscribe to the channel. Marketers call this call to action - that is, a call to action. This technique really increases the response.
- Stay consistent with your videos. Then the user will not be limited to individual “likes” under the videos, but will want to watch everything.
- Cross-promotion with another aspiring blogger.
- It is important that you only use approved promotion methods. Otherwise, the reward will be forfeited.
After all the conditions are met, you have to be patient. Delivery of the award takes at least a month. At the same time, it has happened more than once that people do notreceived their buttons even after six months! And yet there are more happy owners.
YouTube Gold Button: Who got it?
Gold YouTube buttons, in contrast to the diamond buttons, have managed to get many Russian-speaking bloggers. So, in 2014, the most famous girl in the video sphere, Katya Clapp, was awarded (she was awarded two awards at once), as well as two other channels. And in 2015, the list was replenished by the beautiful Masha Wei, Ivangai, Sasha Spielberg and even a channel with children's cartoons (Luntik), as well as an online game dedicated to World of Tanks.
Gold YouTube buttons are not a special privilege, but a sign that a blogger is on the right track. If you haven't received any awards yet, don't worry. Just keep actively working on your channel, and everything will definitely work out.
