YouTube’s golden buttons are insignia you might have heard about, even if you’re not involved in video blogging. This is a special award developed by the creative team of YouTube video hosting. It is received by users who lead 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 needs to be done to become the owner of one of them, and what will it give you?
What is a golden button?
YouTube’s golden buttons are one of the awards given to 1,000,000 people who subscribe to the channel. Even in our time, when some kind of "explosive" video can get a million views per day, such a number of people in subscriptions is rare. Accordingly, these awards are not so common.
A diamond button is an even greater rarity, which can be obtained only if you overcome the mark of 10 million subscribers to the channel. At the moment, no one in the post-Soviet space has reached such a mark from the leadership of the resource. But a lot of simple silver buttons already issued a lot. It is not surprising, because this award is given to everyone who collects from 100,000 followers.
Be that as it may, the look of the button only indicates how popular you are. And they bring only a feeling of satisfaction. Otherwise, YouTube owners do not reward button owners. Unless sometimes give symbolic prizes.
How can I get a golden YouTube button?
Do you understand what they give you the golden YouTube button 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 to success is competent optimization. Attend a training course, or at least read online manuals on the subject.
- Be sure to remind viewers to subscribe to the channel. Marketers call it call to action - that is, a call to action. This technique really enhances the response.
- Keep your style unified in your videos. Then the user will not be limited to individual “likes” under the clips, but will want to see everything.
- Engage in mutual promotion with another novice blogger.
- It is important that you use only permitted promotion methods. Otherwise, the award will be void.
After all the conditions are met, you have to be patient. Delivery of the award takes at least a month. Moreover, more than once it happened that people did not receive their buttons even after six months! Nevertheless, there are more happy owners.
YouTube golden button: who got it?
Golden YouTube buttons, unlike diamond ones, were also managed by many Russian-speaking bloggers. So, in 2014, Katya Klepp, the most famous girl in the video sphere, was awarded (she was awarded two awards at once), as well as two other channels. And in 2015, the list was supplemented by the beauty Masha Wei, Ivangai, Sasha Spilberg and even a channel with children's cartoons (Luntik), as well as a dedicated online game - World of Tanks.
YouTube’s golden buttons are not a special privilege, but a sign that the blogger is on the right track. If you have not received a single award, do not be upset. Just continue to actively work on your channel, and everything will work out.
