Best practices

-Get setup:
+A good collaboration could bring new viewers to your videos. Make sure your channel is set up and ready for new viewers and get them interested in subscribing.

-Know your value.
+Often, creators think they can only collaborate with channels that have a similar number of subscribers -- but that’s not the case! You’re more than your number of subscribers. You have skills, access, and resources that can be valuable to other creators, even ones with a much larger audience! Try to communicate the advantages you could bring to potential collaborators.

-Choose compatible collaborators
+A collaborator doesn’t have to make exactly the same type of videos as you. Instead, choose collaborators whose videos you enjoy and compliment your style and tone.

-Connecting with potental partners
+When reaching out to potential collaborators, it’s important that you make a pitch. In other words, tell them why you want to collaborate, what you can bring to the table, and what type of video or project you could make together.

-Be authentic
+There’s no formula for making a collaboration video great -- that’s where you get to be creative! However, it’s important that no matter what the idea is both you and your collaborator can create it in a way that’s authentic and similar to the style and tone of your channels.

-Cross-promote
+A great collaboration video on its own might attract some new fans, but combine it with a smart cross-promotion strategy and you have the opportunity to really grow your audience!

-Turn new viewers in to  subscribe
+A good collaboration, with smart cross-promotion, has the potential to bring new viewers to your channel. But once they’re here, you want to ensure they subscribe and keep coming back often.

This course have a few information to show.
Get activities: answer some question.


Check your knowledge:
Question 1: You have a channel that features beauty and hair tips. What type of channel would be a good fit for a collaboration?
Correct answer is A channel that features fashion tips.
Wrong answers are:

-A cooking channel because it’s in a totally different genre.

-A channel where you think the creator needs help with their hair and makeup.

-Another channel that features beauty and hair tips.

Question 2:What is the benefit of having an active channel?
Correct answer is: Get your channel into shape and develop a specific plan for how you would like to cross-promote.
Wrong answers are:

-Ask the channel creator how many subscribers and views it has.

-Create sections that you think would appeal to the creators of that specific channel.

-Read through the comments of the last video they posted to gauge how much viewers enjoy their videos.

Question 3:How can you ensure a collaboration or cross-promotion on a YouTube video is effective?

Correct answer is: All of the above.

Wrong answers are:

-List all the collaborators in the video description.

-Include a call to action and an annotation in the video that guides the audience to the other collaborators’ channels.

-Add annotations at the end of each video to link channels together.

The system show the congratulation after I completed the course from the begin to the end. I will take new knowledge to apply my "Explorer Mr Channel" channel. I go along with the analytic of the youtube channel to define how it is effective.
