username or while watching videos. You can also like, share and comment on
their video.

you can also upload ready-made video (uploading videos downloaded from other sources
is strictly not allowed).

Features YouTube Provide to its Creators
- YouTube
is a video streaming service. Initially it allows you to upload videos up to 15
minutes. Later on verifying your channel with your phone no. the limit is
extended.
- You can
see videos of any topic. For example – Entertainment, Lifestyle, Fashion, Beauty,

Simply it means you can customize the date and time for publishing your video.
- It allows
your subscribers to like, unlike, share, comment, save to their playlist and
download the video. Which is much more as compared to TikTok.
- Creator

earn revenue through ads. Second is through sponsorships. And the last one is
when a subscriber sponsors your channel or becomes a member of your channel by
clicking the join button next to the subscribe button.
- It supports and encourages their creators by awarding them with Silver, Golden, Diamond Play Buttons. Which are achieved when you complete subscribers milestones.
Which Platform Will Make You
Famous Quickly TikTok or YouTube?
Here comes
the main question. Everyone wants to become famous, everyone needs a
recognition of their talent or skill. And in today's reality, YouTube and TikTok
has turned the lives of many people, especially YouTube.
YouTube has
been serving since 2005 on the internet as a video streaming platform. Hence,
it has more features and is dominating over the internet.
As Google is
its parent company therefore, YouTube comes preinstalled in every Android
device, which makes it available in most of the devices. Whereas you have to
manually download TikTok.
If we talk
about features on creators side then YouTube wins all the way. Because YouTube
is a king in this industry. Every creator wants to join YouTube and they do.
But if we
talk about TikTok, it is not far behind. As of 2020 TikTok has over 800 million
active users every day, and it is a big number. And on the other hand, YouTube
generates billions of views every day.
Not only
this. YouTube provides its creators a full detailed statistics of their channel
where they can see no. of views, no. of subscribers gained, their earning, comparision
with previous month’s stats and much more. Whereas there is no such feature in
TikTok.
Conclusion
In my view,
YouTube is a winner in every way. Because it has been for so long in this
industry. And no doubt it provides so many features and earning ways to its
creators.
But the
question is which platform will make you popular quickly and here TikTok wins.
And this is tested by me and I’ve seen many other people too.
If you
listen to me, initially you should go for TikTok and then for YouTube. This
will help you grow quickly, widely and for a long time.
YouTube is a
big platform but when you start newly you get less views. But on TikTok it will
be way better. And chances are much higher.
So in my
point of view you should use TikTok first and then go for YouTube. It would be
more awesome if you continue both when you start getting some decent no. of
views from both sides.
And it is
more important you have a real talent or skill to share, then only you can last
longer and make a powerful impact.
I will give
some more tips in this regard in upcoming articles till then stay tuned to
