With experience consulting over 100 VTubers and breaking a world record for the largest VTuber collab at one point, Elara’s insights provided actionable strategies to help creators refine their craft and stand out.

Unlocking Your VTuber Potential with Social Media Strategy

1. Niche DiscoveryElara emphasized the importance of finding your niche—a focused area that defines your content and helps you stand out in a crowded space. She encouraged creators to ask themselves:

• Do I enjoy it?
• Am I skilled at it?
• Is it something people want or need?
• Can I monetize it?

She highlighted VTuber Onigiri, who has built a strong brand by specializing in food and cooking content. This example underscored how a well-defined niche can become the backbone of a channel’s identity.

2. Social Media StrategiesElara compared social media to a business, stressing the need for a clear strategy. While being a “variety” creator is acceptable, she challenged participants to consider: What makes you unique? A strong social media presence should showcase this uniqueness to attract and retain followers.

3. YouTube Growth TacticsWhen it comes to YouTube, Elara outlined the importance of knowing your audience, crafting focused content, and using strategies tailored to the platform. A data-driven and consistent approach to uploads can significantly boost engagement and visibility.

4. Live Streaming TipsElara encouraged creators to lean into their strengths during live streams:

• Talkative? Consider “Just Chatting” streams to engage with your audience.
• Gaming Pro? Explore speedruns or challenge runs to showcase your skills.

To help creators reflect and refine their channels, Elara posed these key questions:

• Who is your audience?
• What content will you create? What content won’t you create?
• How do you define success in your content journey?
