Do you have a love for science and want to share it with the world
through videos? A good way to quickly
achieve this goal is by creating your own YouTube channel! But how do you get
viewers? How can you be informative and
yet entertaining at the same time? Well never fear, I have found a few tips and
tricks through the Asap Science channel,
all of which will help you on your noble quest to share knowledge!
The two co-authors of this educational channel, Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown, have taken
sharing science to a new level altogether. The first tip to accomplishing this
feat is by presenting information that is concise and is easily understandable.
Take time to ensure further explanation is provided for any uncommon
terminology.

Next you’ll want to do some research and figure out what others’
are curious about learning. By knowing this, you’ll guarantee the likelihood that
someone will want to watch your videos. A good place to start looking for this
information is social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter. Likewise,
information that is unorthodox can also gain the audience’s attention. “Can plants think?” and “How old are your ears?” are some of the
many examples that the Asap Science
channel has of this. When accompanied by interesting visuals, you’re videos are
sure to be entertaining! So go ahead and give it a try!
