Did you know that the popular YouTube video service has its own reward system for the most popular bloggers? Almost like at the Olympic Games, YouTube prepared three categories of prizes for bloggers, just remove the bronze and add diamonds on the other side: the buttons in the picture below are called Gold, Silver and Diamond. The YouTube button is a significant achievement for popular video bloggers.
Silver is not a dream, but a goal. Where to start promotion
The silver button is the first mark on the way to the Diamond. It is covered in silver and lies in a box the size of a large book.
Getting the Silver Button is an achievable goal for many YouTube players. The number of subscribers should be more than 100,000. To do this, you will have to try, but not necessarily be a world famous person. One hundred thousand subscribers can be compared with the population of a small city, so it’s enough to become a local star. If you decide that you need this award, then take care of promotion and quality content: upload interesting videos of good quality, design your channel stylishly and tastefully, and most importantly - talk about what you know well and what you really burn. Your task is to ignite the audience with your idea, and then she will look forward to every new video.
Gold is a solid success
The golden YouTube button is issued to those who managed to accumulate a million million subscribers. Once it was the most prestigious award from YouTube, but now the accounts, where the number of subscribers has exceeded one million, have become many times more, so the site management decided to launch a new user promotion - this is the YouTube Diamond Button. But we will talk about it a little later.
By design, the Golden button resembles the Silver one, but it is 2.5 times larger and much heavier. Together with a transparent frame, the award weighs more than 12 kilograms. The award itself under the glass is the same as the Silver button. Without a frame, it weighs almost four kilograms.
Unattainable “diamond” victory
The YouTube diamond button is a recent innovation on the site. The number of subscribers should be more than 10,000,000, so on the whole planet only 35 people received this award. In fact, the channels that fall under the category of "diamond", that is, crossed the mark of 10 million subscribers, are now around 50-60. But some of them belong to companies, not bloggers, so they can not claim to receive such an award as the YouTube Diamond Button.
It is interesting that the award of the highest category with its appearance differs from the Golden and Silver buttons. If the last two are in a frame and under glass so that they can be hung on the wall and admired, then the Diamond button is issued without a traditional frame - just a brilliant parallelepiped on which the Play icon is engraved.
Interesting YouTube Awards Facts
