YouTube has become one of the most popular platforms to earn money on. There are thousands of people who make a great living off of YouTube, but it takes a lot of effort and time.
How much you will get paid depends on a couple of factors. While the best way to boost your YouTube videos is to make quality content, there are also a couple of different methods.
In this article, we will be going through how to increase YouTube views in order to earn more money online. Let’s get right to it!
Start Out With YouTube Boosters
We understand that it is incredibly hard to make your way through the hefty competition that is present on YouTube. While it is much better to have real views and subscribers, one of the methods to kick start your channel is to invest some money in YouTube boosters.
Looking at the market, there are a plethora of different options that range in price, as well as the authenticity of the views. Our personal favorite is Viewsta, which is an affordable solution that seems to provide you with real views.
Additionally, this boosting platform provides its customers with a specific referral program, as well as 1,000 free views as a sign-up bonus.
However, in the long run, it is much better to focus on providing your subscribers with quality content and making sure that the video titles and featured tags are hot and trending.
The first thing that you will want to do when it comes to increasing YouTube views is to stick to your niche. No matter how hard you try, you simply can’t report on several different topics at the same quality.
It all comes down to building your YouTube image by focusing on certain content, whether that is how-to videos, ASMR, entertainment (such as playing video games), cooking, or anything else that you find pleasure in.
It all comes down to offering a perspective that will be unique to your viewers and that will help you build your audience persona.
The other important tip is that you need to make sure all the little details of your YouTube account are always intuitive and up-to-date. Thus, make sure to have a relevant channel icon or YouTube art, as well as a simple yet informative “about” section.
Lastly, the contact info and your terms/conditions related to potential partnerships should be included in your channel.
Use Metadata To Your Advantage
One of the best methods to increase your YouTube views is to get the most out of the metadata that determines what videos the algorithm recommends to viewers across the world.
There are a couple of points that play an important role here, including the most popular videos overall (content-wise), related/similar metadata, and videos that a certain user likes depending on the search/watch history.
With this in mind, it all comes down to boosting your channel with keywords.
For example, if you are doing a video on how to cook a pasta dish, you might want to set the category to Italian cuisine, simple-dish, and include a number of synonyms, such as Italian gastronomy, Italian kitchen, spaghetti, etc.
Invest Extra Time In Your Thumbnail
Believe it or not, one of the deal-breakers when it comes to whether someone will watch or skip your video is the thumbnail. It is quite simple to make it attractive as long as you focus on a couple of important factors.
Try making it relevant to the video title, clear, and accurate. Also, get creative with a thumbnail that stands out from the crowd.
Make Playlists
Last but certainly not least, guide your viewers towards the next video on your channel by creating a playlist. This is what all popular YouTubers and many streaming platforms do.

Summary
At the end of the day, while becoming a professional YouTuber requires a lot of effort, time, and money invested in the equipment, it can be quite rewarding.
Along with the aforementioned view-boosting tips, direct your viewers to comment, like, and subscribe at the end of each of your videos. Good luck!

Traveling is certainly a privilege. However, it can also be physically challenging, especially if you are flying to a faraway place. If you are looking forward to reaching your destination but dreading the long hours you will spend inside the aircraft, you might want to pamper yourself before boarding and at the airport.
One of the best ways to do this is to get into a VIP airport lounge. These places offer a luxurious and comfortable experience for travelers across the globe. Some of the most common amenities in these lounges include internet access, free refreshments and a cozy place to wait for your boarding time.
If this is what you are looking for, then you need to make sure that you have access to VIP lounges. Not sure how to do that? Check out our tips in this article.
Invest In A Membership
Those who frequently travel via air can guarantee an easy time accessing such places by simply getting a membership with their preferred airline. Usually, getting a membership card means that you will have to pay a fee annually in order to keep this perk.
Some memberships also let you get into alliance lounges. However, keep in mind that this does not automatically give you access to other airlines’ lounges. This means that you will have to consistently fly with your chosen airline every time you travel. Just make sure that you choose a company that is present in the destinations you plan to visit.
Take Advantage Of Frequent Flier Programs
Aside from getting a membership card, you can also sign up for your airline’s frequent flier program. This is basically a reward system used by airlines to give loyal customers incentives. You can earn miles that you can then redeem in many forms, such as discounts, flight tickets, and other services. Many programs partner up with co-branded credit and debit cards. You can often use these points to gain access to the airline’s airport lounge.
Get A Credit Card That Offers Membership
One of the best ways to address this issue is to get a credit card that focuses on frequent travelers. These cards usually give you a wide range of travel-related perks including discounts, reward points and cashback on accommodation, flights, and other related spending. Most importantly, these give you access to lounges. Other premium travel credit cards may also offer such advantages, even if they are not targeted to frequent fliers.
Keep in mind that you can also use your credit card with LoungeKey. This service lets you get access to such amenities if you have an eligible card. When you sign up with this service, you simply need to search for participating places and inform the lounge’s reception that you are a LoungeKey user.
Use Third-Party Services
If you already have a credit card and you want to have the flexibility to fly with different airlines, then using third-party services is the way to go. These services let you buy your way into the VIP area. You can choose between a wide selection of services such as Lounge Pass or Priority Pass.
These companies partner with hundreds of lounges in airports across the globe. When you purchase a pass from them, keep in mind that the price can vary depending on the destination. The best thing about these is that they are available on mobile devices and can be easily accessed using online payment methods. Image source: upgradedpoints.com
Bottom Line
With these tips, you can definitely make your way into VIP airport lounges without worry. This way, there is no need to suffer on the uncomfortable benches and unsavory food in the common airport waiting area.
After the Pawikan Festival 2018, we also had the chance to visit one of the newly established cafes in Bataan named Exhibit C.
Exhibit C is the first Art Cafe in Balanga, Bataan that caters people in all walks of life. This art cafe supports local artists by exhibiting their works of art in the cafe for sale. Local singers and bands are also benefiting from the advocacy of this cafe.
Why Exhibit C is a must-visit cafe?
1. Instagram-worthy Interiors
Because the main proprietors of the cafe are creative people, they came up with the idea of having a cafe that’s not only giving you stomach-full dishes but also an aesthetic that’s pleasing to the eyes. Perfect for your Instagram posts (especially for the millennials!)
2. Affordability of Food
A cafe is not only for coffee, but also to serve as a venue for people who’d like to spend some time with friends while taking up some food. Their menu is quite exquisite and unimaginably affordable.
3. Serves sumptuous meals
One of the traits a cafe should have is the unique taste of the food. How each is different that will make you come back for another treat. Exhibit C not only made their food serving generous but the taste will make you go ask for more. Their food is really, really good!
4. Supports Local Artists
If you have been to the cafe, you’d find sketches, paintings, and art in every corner of the room. For instance, the chair where every people is looking to have a picture with is a project of the owner’s students. The paintings and sketches displayed in the walls are also for sale. If you have a good taste at art, you will definitely look forward to buying one of the frames there.
As Exhibit C cafe supports all types of arts, they also support local singers and bands. Every week, there is a scheduled band or singer to perform at the cafe. Not only that, but they also support spoken poetry. Make time to visit one day for each performance and appreciate the beauty and greatness of local talents.
5. Unique Cafe in Bataan
Exhibit C Cafe is one of the unique cafes in Bataan that are a must-visit and this has been the most viewed restaurant in Bataan Tourism’s website. When you visit Bataan for any occasion, do not miss visiting one of the most unique cafes in the area!
How to get to Exhibit C
From Roman Hiway, get off at Unioil and get a tricycle going to the Balanga Public Market.
Tell the tricycle driver to drop you at the front of Tagles Village Diamond Street/ before Guadalupe Chapel

The annual Bambanti Festival is back this year with the warm yet vibrant theme “ISABELA KONG MAHAL” (Isabela, My Beloved Land), committed to showcasing the ardent love of Isabeleños for their land of birth.
Bambanti Festival: Isabela Kong Mahal
Organized by the Provincial Government of Isabela, the Bambanti Festival is a tourism, trade, and environment project aiming to develop, promote, and market Isabeleños’ world-class indigenous products, lifestyle, merchandise items, and cuisine as the pride of place.
Bambanti Festival 2018, celebrated from January 22 – 27, focuses on Isabeleños’ warm traits for their beloved land, care and protection for their national resources and environment, love and respect for the culture, history, and heritage of the community, and consistent efforts for a sustainable agriculture and all other industries.
The theme “ISABELA KONG MAHAL” depicts Isabeleños strong commitment to their beloved land and outstanding virtue of hard work, proudly sharing to its visitors how their family-inherited traits contributed to the fast-growing socio-cultural and economic development of the province through various creative concepts and images.
“Bambanti” is an Ilocano word for a scarecrow, which the province considers as protection despite the common notion that it arouses fear. Created with colorful straws and grasses wrapped in farmer’s clothing, bambanti has always been the icon and mascot of the festival.
Bambanti Festival Fares
The Provincial Government of Isabela has prepared yet again another impressive array of festival fares that locals and visitors can look forward to.
Onset is the Kultura Ken Sining – activities featuring the province’s rich culture and arts: Giant Bambanti Showcase, a province-wide Search for the Best Giant Bambanti (Scarecrow) Showcase to be participated in by all LGUs of the province. Each official entry epitomizes the character of the place and people it represents in terms of culture, history, trade, industry, and environment following the prescribed theme: ISABELA KONG MAHAL. It will be displayed in front of the exhibit space designated for each LGU participant at the Bambanti Village. Bambanti Street-Dance and Showdown Competition, showcasing the advocacy for agricultural progress and environment protection and conservation through their dance movements, with bambanti as the focal reference and unifying element. Bambanti Musical Street, with Isabela’s choral groups interpreting a common four-voice contest piece—an original composition, depictive of the inherent qualities, virtues, and character of Isabeleños and a second pop music piece of each group’s choice to be rendered with full choreography. Bambanti Festival King and Queen, a cultural pageant to search the LGUs’ festival king and queen who excel not only with their physical beauty but more importantly their knowledge, appreciation, and pride of place, culture and history of their hometown and province.
Furthermore, Bambanti Festival’s highlight falls on the Bambanti Village, which exhibits Isabela’s Agri-Eco Tourism prides: Indigenous Handicrafts, which is a rich collection of locally-made OTOP-certified products from each municipality and city. Heritage, which displays patterns, weaves, music, arts, language, traditions, and culture of the tribal communities of Gaddang, Ibanag, Ytaois and Ilocano. Lifestyle Merchandise or the showcase of hand-crafted home accessories for dining, entertaining, bedroom and living room areas including but not limited to furniture, linens, home decors, etc. Isabela’s Master Kusinero Cooking Contest, aiming to bare exotic dishes from the traditional Isabela home kitchens that are mostly undiscovered.
The Bambanti Festival is a three-time winner of Aliw Awards, bringing home the title of Best Festival Practices and Performance for 2015 – 2017.
During our nine-day stay in Taipei, we had the privilege to stay at one of Taipei’s best boutique hotels, that’s amba Taipei Songshan. amba Taipei Songshan is a new boutique design hotel, giving travelers a fresh new look and a millennial feel without compromising on the value they deliver and are known for. It has been opened in July 2016 designed for the smart travelers looking for a place with the C factor; creativity, connectivity, and conservation. Through their modern, unique, and playful design, they make communal areas inviting and energetic.
Amba Hotels are also socially responsible thru the use of eco-friendly materials, crafts, and all natural products, helping the local community and being an advocate of building a healthy and sustainable environment. They are partnered with Two Acres, a socially responsible Taiwanese brand which helps in giving second chances to people who have formerly committed issues with the law.
amba Taipei Songshan: Our Experience and What You Need to Know
[hoops name=”InArticle”]
This beautifully built boutique hotel is strategically located in Songshan and is connected thru the Citylink giving travelers a mere 5-minute walk from the Songshan MRT Station to reach the hotel. When you get down at Songshan Station, just look for Exit 4A, enter the Citylink premises on and proceed to where the UNIQLO store is. Beside Uniqlo is the exit to amba Taipei Songshan. TRAVEL HACK #1: Those who are staying at the hotel can use their FREE Shuttle heading to various destinations including Taipei 101 and Xinyi Business and Shopping district in less than 10 minutes on a fixed daily schedule. A convenient way to spend less and experience Taipei!
The Hotel Lobby and Que Woodfired Grill on the 17th Floor
The lobby and Que Woodfired Grill restaurant of amba Taipei Songshan are located on its 17th floor.
The moment we stepped out of the elevator, we were in awe. The hotel lobby is spacious and has an amazing view of the world outside, the Taipei City. The colors and how the lounge was set up is inviting, you can even set a meeting in this area alone. They also have a Table Football which is a good way to entertain yourself if you feel like playing and or feeling a little bored.
A SPIN game was also set in the lobby. This is sort of similar to the ways in a Taoist temple but with a twist. Instead of praying in a temple, you get to ask yourself a question that is answerable by a Yes or a No. You insert a token, spin the shaft, and break open the ball preferably in the ping-pong table. Jane did the SPIN game and got a “Yes” so whatever question she had in mind, was answered with a Yes. 🙂
A Ping-pong table is also available. If you feel like playing Ping-pong, you can definitely do! Just approach the front desk to lend you the pieces of equipment in playing the game.
Check-in and check-out, I can say, was a breeze. During check-in, just present your passport, sign the document, and pay the amount for check-in security deposit using your credit card or cash. All in less than 10 minutes and you’re done. You can proceed to your room or roam around if you want. FUN FACT #1: The guestrooms are located on the 18th-21st floor of the building. Each door represents something that has become known or invented on a particular year from the past and or a known moment for the future. FUN FACT #2: During New Year’s Eve, the lobby is transformed as a place for New Year’s Eve party as you could see the best views from there along with the fireworks at Taipei 101.
Que Woodfired Grill Restaurant
Coming from its name, the Que restaurant uses woodfire to grill the meat they serve, a traditional way of cooking for a modern restaurant. The woodfire gives a distinct taste to the meat unlike using an induction cooker or a stove.
Located on the left of the lobby, Que restaurant serves as a dining hall, event hall, meeting place, with killer views of Taipei City and Keelung River. This airy restaurant is where we had our sumptuous breakfast with many selections to choose from. By night, the restaurant is lit up with locally made giant bamboo lanterns, making the ambiance added with a romantic feel. It fits with any occasion so if you plan for anything, it is one of the perfect places to go to in Taipei.
Jane, an avid rice lover, couldn’t complete her day without eating a rice meal and Que restaurant gave her what she wanted and what she was craving for. We had good meals at other places we ate at but she really loved the offerings at Que.
amba Taipei Songshan: Spacious Designer Rooms
What’s noticeably positive with amba Taipei Songshan hotel is how each of their rooms has plenty of space that you can even do a cartwheel and don’t get bumped into anything. This is totally rad, I can say. Plus, the color coordination of everything inside the room blends with one another. All are good a spot to take photos.
Here’s are some photos of the other rooms.
Corner Extra Large 101 View Room
We had one of the best rooms during our stay, and the best thing is that our room was upgraded for free to a Corner Extra Large 101 View Room. This room was truly I can say, Instagram-able.
Our room is located on the 21st floor and has the view of both Taipei 101 and Keelung River. If we have gone to Taipei with an event going on, we probably had the greatest view from our room. We totally loved the room we stayed in and we could not contain our excitement when we saw the interiors of the room and its features.
Corner Room with Taipei 101 view and the Keelung River
All around were glass walls so we could see what going on outside if it’s a rainy weather or a sunny one. We get greeted by the morning sunshine to start a lovely day and the view is wonderful. We also had access to the WiFi hotel-wide (up to 200mbps) so we don’t have to change connections every time we leave the room.
I also love the workspace as I had plenty of room to put my laptop in and do some work online. Additionally, the workspace has a USB charging port so I could just conveniently plug-in the cable of my phone to have it charged. The entire room also has universal sockets so you won’t have to worry about borrowing an adapter, although if you find yourself in trouble with that matter, you can check their thoughtful extras.
They also have mentioned that the floorings are eco-friendly. On top of that, they are using trendy slippers for you to take home (we took ours home) and all-natural bathroom amenities (with a zing of Ginger) from socially responsible Taiwanese brand, Two Acres. They surely support local products and the advocacy behind these companies they are partnered with. Ah, the washroom is intended to be oversized so you have space for your other belongings, which we really liked!
My favorite area after the overly comfortable bed was the bathtub. The bathtub has a spectacular view of the Keelung River and also if you bathe with it during sunset, you get awesome scenery right straight from the tub. Truly a relaxing feeling. During the night, it covers an entire night scene of the city and with that, I’m sure you’d get easily relaxed.
Other Room Features:
King-sized bed
Bathtub overlooking the Keelung River
48” Sony BRAVIA Full HD TV
Wireless Bluetooth® speaker (customized for amba Taipei Songshan hotel)
Remote controlled windows sheds
USB charging ports (workspace and on phone)
Separate washroom and shower room
All natural shampoo, hair conditioner, bath gel, and body lotion
Other features I have not mentioned here can be found on their website
Did I mention that you can also borrow board games and rent a laptop, PlayStation, Apple TV, pocket projector, and Xbox? Yes, it’s on their thoughtful extras and you can request for that when you’re checked-in. So, where to stay in Taipei?
amba Taipei Songshan: Hotel Facilities
[hoops name=”InArticle”]
Self-service Laundry, Ice, Filtered Water
Other things that we loved about amba hotel Songshan is that they have the free self-service laundry with soap and fabric conditioner, also, a probation for ice and filtered water. I have never heard of these services in the hotels in our home country as they always charge laundry service, so this one of amba Hotels is a definitely a big plus! Their self-service laundry room is located on the 18th floor beside the fitness center.
Fitness Center
Keeping yourself fit while eating and traveling is a huge body requirement for you to enjoy your life and live it well. Their fitness center is not that huge but is enough for your daily routine exercise.

Every single thing in amba Taipei Songshan especially with our room, WE LOVED! Every corner is picture-worthy and the amenities are superb. We really have enjoyed our entire stay and I’m sure you will as well! This hip hotel is highly recommended in many ways!

Traveling is food for the soul they say and usually, it is. However, choosing the perfect destination can be challenging. You have to consider various factors to ensure a safe trip.
To ensure a safe trip you need to check on factors like crime rate, weather patterns, health concerns, and unrest in your chosen destination.
If you plan to travel and want to know about the safest tropical places to travel, it is better to consider the factors concerning safety. Learn about the common factors to think about for safe travel and know the safest tropical islands to visit below:
Image Source: Travel Online
Factors to Consider for Safe Travel
Crime
Review the crime rate of the region. According to a report, about 28 million visitors of the Caribbean are rarely affected by violent crime per year.
Plus, reports of crime are generally confined to inner-city neighborhoods where a small number of visitors are observed.
Just as in every place, it is also best to be careful. In your accommodation, vehicle, etc., try not to leave valuables unattended. Moreover, it is often advised to hire local guides whenever traveling far off the beaten path.
Weather
Track the weather of the place you visit. Shoulder seasons are periods between the high and low seasons of the travel destination.
Though these seasons are the beginning and end of bad weather, they are usually taken advantage of by many tourists because fares tend to be low.
Tropical storms happen from June to November and may become a concern while traveling. Peak season, however, actually falls between August and October.
Therefore, the best Caribbean islands to visit will usually not have poor weather at the start and end of the season.
Health
Examine your health if you are fit to travel. Before any trip to the Caribbean, it is recommended that individuals see a doctor prior to find out what type of vaccinations you may need.
The Caribbean authority itself has a list of vaccinations you need to have. On the other hand, there is no need to worry if a traveler becomes sick during a visit because the region has excellent healthcare.
Safest Caribbean Islands to Visit
Barbados
Barbados is an independent British Commonwealth nation, considered as one of the safest Caribbean islands for families.
The tourism industry is a big part of the island’s economy, and the locals are said to be some of the friendliest in the entire Caribbean. It welcomes around 1 million visitors annually.
Several family-friendly beaches along the west are famous for their white sand and pristine turquoise waters. Besides, Barbados offers delicious cuisine, a variety of activities, and a luxurious interior with quaint gardens.
Turks & Caicos
Turks & Caicos is a British Overseas Territory, included in the top list of safest Caribbean destinations. It is a family-friendly destination that has around 40 different cays and islands. It is home to the finest beaches, including the world-famous Grace Bay Beach.
The island offers some of the best shops and restaurants within the entire region. In addition, it boasts many private villas equipped with secure and elegant facilities for a large number of travelers every year.
Another reason that makes Turks & Caicos safe is that it only has occasional bad weather conditions.
St. Barts
Saint Barthelemy is a French Overseas Territory popular for first-class and wealthy tourists. Also called St Barts, this place is renowned for being the most exclusive island in the Caribbean.
No wonder it is listed as one of the safest destinations in the region. This island offers travelers some of the best marinas and beaches for tourists, plenty of shopping and dining, and more.
Image Source: The Scenic Suitcase
