How to become a Graaltuber
So recently i've been asked many times by people "How do i become a Graaltuber" and it's really such a simple thing that I thought i'd shine some light on the topic. Before I begin please understand that there is no right or wrong way to be a 'graaltuber' anyone can create a channel and post Graal Videos and be regarded as a Graaltuber. This is just some help that may get you started if you're a tad confused. Enjoy
First step is to create a Channel, in order to post videos you obviously need a place to upload them!
As i don't want to waste space to keep this guide simple i'll post a link for this step: CLICK HERE
Once you've created your Channel it's important to set it up correctly before even thinking about uploading your videos.
-You should have a decent Profile Picture, Choose one that represents your Channel like your in-game character, keep it simple.
-You should get some sweet Channel Art, this is the thing that is shown at the top of your Channel, you can use it to describe your Channel or just make it stand out from the rest!
-You should make a nice description of your Channel, describe your Channel and what you post! (this will be shown when someone searches up your channel so make it look nice, unlike mine, mines boring, don't be boring, I'm naughty, be yourself)

Now it's time to start recording
This is the part that puts off most people. The sad fact is that if you want to record higher quality videos you must use a Computer, although it's possible to record on your Device it will limit the size and resolution and make it much harder to edit. I know of Graaltubers who do record and edit on there iPad ect but they have said that it limits them, it's not impossible though so i'll still help out! I'm not to sure about recorders for your specific device nor am I willing to suggest them as i've not tried them myself, personally I use "Quick Time Player" but that's for Macbook only. You should be able to find a screen recorder for your device by googling "Free Screen Recorders for (Device)"
Editing your videos
This is a major part if you want to create good videos that people will enjoy. The first thing is to try make sure that you don't show your typing in the videos as this may bore people. Any decent editing software should allow you to crop out your typing so it skips to the next sentence or word.
To find a good Video Editor for your Device just google it! I personally use iMovie but again that's for Macbook only. When editing your videos remember to add sound, quiet videos can bore people; it's all about keeping the viewer entertained.
Uploading your video to Youtube
So you've created a video that you want to put out to the community? If your editor does not give you the option to upload through it you will have to upload via, youtube (Note: this will not automatically compress your video) To compress your video to reduce the file size and reduce the upload time I personally use ClipChamp, there are many other ways to compress your videos but I find this the easiest for me.
ClipChamp also gives you the option to upload through them but if you'd like to know how to upload via, Youtube CLICK HERE
Editing your uploaded Video
You may think that after your video is uploaded you're finished! but in-fact you want to create an eye-catching Thumbnail and Title to attract attention to your videos. To do that you must simply load the Thumbnail Template onto your Photo Editor and create a nice thumbnail, Preferably use a screenshot of your video, a border and some text to catch the viewers eye.
You also should make a good title that sums up your video, and a description that explains your video (feel free to promo your other social medias so your viewers can interact with you) If you don't know how to do that CLICK HERE
Getting your video noticed
There are many ways you can attract viewers to watch your video, you can advertise it in places on the map (WARNING: This may annoy people, when doing it make sure your not bugging people or blocking anyones text, keep it simple like "Check out my new video on my Youtube Channel (x)")
You can also just message your friends in-game or in real life! Spread the word, attract the love!
Tips
-Interact with your viewers, reply to there comments and messages!
-Don't be rude or disrespectful to other people, if you think a video will offend some people put a warning at the start!
-Just because your a Graaltuber doesn't give you the right to think your better than people even if you have tons of subscribers, be humble!
-Get Social Media, use twitter to advertise your video and post updates.
-Join a gang, there are many gangs dedicated to youtube on iEra (Make sure not to annoy people, it can be annoying getting spammed to join a gang, if you don't get in there is always another gang for you!)
-Add a business inquiry email to your "about" page, you may be lucky enough to get offered partnership! I'm partnered with TGN and i'm loving it!
-Enjoy it, don't feel pressured to upload videos; do it at a pace that's comfortable for you.
-If you want to make some Gralats from creating videos consider monetising your videos and iTuning the money you make.
Remember this is just a guide, there is no right or wrong way to become a Graaltuber, just be yourself!
I hope this helped and I apologise for all the links, I didn't want this thread to be massive.
Please comment any other tips or suggestions you have for getting started on Youtube as a Graaltuber.
-If you have any questions feel free to message me, i'd be glad to help!
