“the biggest thing for educational niches is consistency in one sub-topic early on, so YouTube knows who to serve your videos to. pick something specific like "explains physics concepts" rather than all of science and tech, and make 10-15 videos there before branching out. what's your current upload schedule looking like?”
“Hiii people of the internet. I’m a freshman in uni, and I wanted for a long time to have a yt channel…. Lil problem that I had in the past was having parents that hate yt and youtubers. Now that I’m more free I want to have a channel, maybe earn something, and (more relevant) consequently train my creativity. Anyway, I’m looking for someone to chat about YouTube videos, getting me advices, hype me up a bit, because I’m a bit shy and I still care too much about what others think…. If someone that”

Of course, I’m trying to work on that, but I thought that if I could make a little money from something I’m passionate about, that would be the best thing.”

“I want to make longform but tightly edited comedy videos where I play through an entire game in a single video but I’m really struggling to come up with a format for the titling. For example I was thinking if I made a video on the Mad Max game is it still viable to just make a joke and then game title and Funny moments? Like “Australia Simulator-Mad Max Funny Moments”.
