Start a YouTube Channel

YouTube is one of the world’s largest search engines. But, instead of searching for websites, people are looking for entertaining, fun, or informative videos.



You can monetize your YouTube channel by using their advertising system or sending your viewers to a website you’ve monetized in another way.

You can think of building a YouTube channel in a similar fashion to creating a website, except you’re creating video, not written content.

If you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and want to try your luck creating videos, then you’ll need to figure out what your channel will be about. Typically, there are two types of YouTube channels out there (that are successful at least):

• Entertaining content. This style includes things like web series, comedy videos, pranks, reviews, video game walkthroughs, and a lot more.
• Educational content. This style is more geared towards, ‘how to’ phrases. For example, ‘how to do SEO’. Or, ‘how to create a tomato garden’. If you have useful skills or information you want to convey through the video, then this is a solid option for you.

Once you’ve decided what kind of channel you’re going to start, it’s time to start creating. First, you’ll need to create a YouTube channel and think of a catchy name. Then, keep the following tips in mind:

1. Use a high-quality camera to record your videos;
2. Experiment with different styles, formats, and editing techniques until you find one that gets traction;
3. Optimize your video titles, descriptions, and images to get people to click;
4. Create a consistent video publishing schedule, so followers know when to expect your content.
