Become famous on YouTube

What do you think a person must have to be famous on YouTube?

If a chav made a video and uploaded it to YouTube, would they as famous as Justin bieber or Taylor Swift?

YouTube obviously tells us some people are better than others

What does it take to gain followers and be famous?

Having a likable personality is probably one of the most important factors imo

Apparently it's very difficult to get big on YouTube now, much more so than when it first started.

it's too late tbh
most people famous on YouTube have been at it ATLEAST since 2012!!! Most since 2010 and even before that
except people like KSI ¬_¬

just have really exaggerated reactions x'D or be a prankster with like really horrible pranks
you must have really good editing skills and know YouTubers - try tweeting at the small ones
there's loads of small YouTubers that might make a guest appearance in the background of a semi-famous YouTuber's video, if they live close to you (i know some big names live in Brighton or London) then try and reach out for a collab after having done a few vids in their genre - making videos with them will expose you to more of their contacts, and then you can climb up the levels go to meetups and stuff when you can
don't use people as stepping ladders though - it'll show in the videos and everyone will hate you and also it's a very dicky move

I'd say vines are easier to get famous on nowadays
maybe even snapchat x'D
some youtubers have a network you can sign up with and they'll help you out :wink:
