Laughter.
Whenever you get two or more highly energetic people together on screen for a YouTube collaboration and there's an almost magical chemistry that puts a smile on your face. Before you know, there's bound to be a barrel of laughs.
Regardless of the seriousness of the topic being addressed people want to feel good when they're watching your videos and they can tell if there is positive energy between the folks in front of the camera or not. 
Think about it this way.
Do you look forward to watching YouTube videos that make you smile or do you tend to move the more boring one's down to the bottom of your watch list?
Benefits of YouTube Collaborations
Here at Basic Blog Tips we've talked about the power of collaborations for years but here's what YouTube says about them in the Creators Playbook:
Collaborating with and promoting other creators in the community can be one of the most powerful ways to reach new audiences. Other YouTube creators are a critical part of your community on YouTube.
One of my favorite YouTubers is Renae Christine aka Rich Mom. She and I connected over on Social Buzz Club and we started sharing each other's content from day one. Renae runs a host of websites and a huge awesome-sauce membership community called Rich Mom University. Renae has over 30,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel, so I was really to get together with her for two YouTube collaboration videos. Here is the first of the videos (warning: lots of laughter ahead, so don't sip your coffee until after you watch the video).
YouTube Do's and Don'ts of With Ms. Ileane and Rich Mom Renae Christine
Stats from YouTube Analytics
You might be wondering how this YouTube collaboration video held up against the other 150 videos on my YouTube channel. At the time I'm writing this the video has over 275 views, over 40 comments, 15 likes and it even turned up as one of the top ten videos watched during the month I uploaded it.
You can watch the other half of my collaboration with Renae over on her channel and that one is hysterical as well. Crucial Dos and Dont's of www.youtube.com was the perfect opportunity for Renae's subscribers to meet me and get introduced to the all the valuable resources and tutorials offered on my YouTube channel.
Hangouts on Air aka “Shows”
Obviously Google+ Hangouts on Air have gained tremendous popularity of late. If you haven't started your own YouTube show yet, you might want to consider appearing as a panel guest on a popular show in your niche. It's one of the easiest way to do a successful collaboration video outside of doing an in-person recording. Spend some time watching a few and you'll see how laughter plays a big role in making the Hangout fun and memorable.
My personal favorite is Mia Voss from The Mia Connect Power Chat, is such a pro at tickling everyone's funny bone and keeping the energy levels high during her shows. She knows the power of collaboration and she even teamed up with Christine DeGraff for one of her newer shows called What's Your Story. Mia always manages to get hundreds of comments on her events and I'm sure she has a long line of folks waiting to be featured on upcoming videos.
Get More YouTube Views With a Smile
If you're not getting enough views on your YouTube videos – even if you have a boring topic, just injecting some laughter into your next video. The least you can do is SMILE 🙂

Hi Ileane,
Great Post on youtube collaboration. Video you provided is also great and have contain great information.
thank you for sharing this video with us…… 🙂
You have to make engaging, “funny” videos in order to get any sort of attention to them.
Same goes with the regular text content you post to your own blogs.
I need to get some videos up, but will probably will in another niche someday.
Great to see you’re having success on YouTube Ileane.

Samuel,
I really enjoyed the video series you started last year. I look forward to seeing what you come up with in the future. Keep me posted. Cheers!
Hi Ileane,
Nice blog on YouTube collaboration video. I completely agree with you, nothing works better in videos when it comes to humor. And I believe humor is a relatively untapped method and could work wonders if used in an effective manner.
Thanks for sharing this article.
Best,
Alan
Hi Ileane,
This is my first visit and I like what I see 🙂 We’re already connected on social media so I’d thought I’d come on over here and join your awesome community.
Thanks for the YouTube tips. I’ve just started studying a course on YouTube and I plan on going BIG on with video marketing this year.
Thanks for the tip!

Really, that is the great idea to follow. Thanks again for the article.
Youtube collaboration is really a very good thing.As youtube is my fav website so i like it.
The video is adorable. Sometimes I can be a little serious. Great reminder to have fun and to collaborate when creating YouTube videos! Thanks!!!
I’ve been trying so many diferent things to get traffic to my youtube channel but have only been getting small results.
Thanks for these tips gonna start implementing these strategies asap!
It also helps to collaborate with other people in your niche that are around the same level as you. So if you only have 500 subscribers asking someone with 5,000 subscribers is not going to work.
Also recommended to interact on their contact before you ask.
Spent a lot of time and money creating you tube videos but never considered collaboration.Great idea can’t wait to get started and give it ago. Will keep watching in anticipation for more great tips. Thanks.
Of course, you could mention that doing interviews, whether you’re the one being interviewed or you’re conducting the interview, also goes a long way in helping to generate more viewers and visitors. The interview I did with you has become one of my best scene videos ever, and of course we had the funny part where you disappeared for a bit because your uncle came by. lol
Mitch, those funny moments always make the video more memorable. 🙂
Wow, that’s a perfect tip! I might do a video soon and maybe 2 videos which I can collaborate as you said. 🙂 Thanks Ileane! I’ll be back to read more of this, as I know, I will need this. And always smile! 🙂
Collaboration sounds like s pretty good deal but the hard part would be finding someone that you’re compatible with that would serve to produce a good YouTube team.
Even so, if you do the right research and come up with the right YouTube topic and use the right keywords you can still produce videos that will get a lot of views.
Hey Sire, I know that you and Mitch are good buddies, you should hook up with him. Did you see the interview he did with me via a Google Hangout? It was a ton of fun. I’d love to see him interview you one day.
I have good experience working on social Media and base on my experience and knowledge social media is best source to get more traffic on your blog or website. In that social media, Youtube is #1 to get more traffic with quality and useful videos
Funny video, I enjoyed it. Great tips that I shall keep in mind when posting a video. Thanks for sharing!
You tube videos is most valuable for Seo now days i agreed with your i prefer to niche videos like if i have hair salon so i will be there sharing videos about hair tips and cutting style is more beneficial for me.
I now fully understand what a successful YouTube collaboration is and I think it is really a great way to reach out to other audience in my niche that are ready to subscribe most especially if I can collaborate with someone in my category.
Hi Ileane,
