    For the people that haven’t started yet, please read this. If you’re planning on starting I highly recommend to not tell anyone yet, trust me they will definitely not believe in you, I have done this with some other stuff and even my best friends brought me down. I told them only when I gained a few hundred subscribers as they couldn’t talk me down at that point. Point is, don’t tell anyone before you see a little bit of success. Wish you the best of luck.

    @CaptainMauzer 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

    Great tips! The only thing I’d point out is that some channel/content formats don’t really make it possible to do thumbnails/titles ahead of time (let’s plays, other live emergent/unscripted content). For example: you know you’re going to do a video (or multiple) on an event like a convention, you might have an idea of what companies will be there but cool stuff might just pop up and you go with it.
    What I would say is to NOT FORGET to make the thumbnail creation process part of your workflow and something you think about WHILE making the video (as in, look for stuff that would make for a good thumbnail before ending the record session fully so you don’t have to search through and try and find a clear, well framed shot to serve this purpose as a bandaid solution at the end).

    Never give up on TH-cam!! I did TH-cam for 4 years before I saw some success. I hopped around channels from 2016-2020, posting probably over 300 videos. The most popular one had 70k views but the 2nd most popular had 400 views, meaning that the popular video was a 1-hit-wonder because it was called "TV Screen Transition" and got a CTR of like 18%. After posting on this channel from 2020-2022, I finally beat the shorts algorithm and learned how it works. I peaked with 2,800 subscribers in a week, which is insane in itself, but right now I just quadrupled my best. I have gained 12,000 subscribers in the last week.

    I had wanted to start a YT channel for teaching and to try and earn a little extra money, but I never really thought on it. At the very start, it was just a random videos from my life... with some art stuff and then I started trying to do more teaching. But then things just got difficult in my life and I had to put YT on the backburner. Now that I want to start it up again, it definitely feels like I'm starting from scratch, so I def appreciate the pointers and tips on what's the best course of action. First thing I know I need to do is have a plan, then stop procrastinating and actually record.
    One of the biggest hurdles is overcoming imposter-syndrome, or doing it while still feeling wholly inadequate. Just gotta start again... that's all.

    I want to start a TH-cam channel because I'm passionate about horror, particularly cosmic horror.

    we started our TH-cam channel because, when we first started watching, we were both fairly introverted. Joining the channels communities made a huge impact on our lives, even if it was just hanging out and watching them game. That's what our ultimate goal is, to create a community in which everyone can feel as if they have a group of friends and allies to hang out and chat with

    It defo isn't easy, but whenever I can. The reason I started a youtube channel is mainly because of two things. I love making videos/editing them ever since I was young and because of my current situation things have been really hard so i'm hoping to generate some income if possible so I could help my mom and dad as well. So back then I would only get 2 hours to use the computer with the internet on and whenever there was no internet I would mess around with windows player and and make videos of whatever I can, there was no free software to record back then, I had to use Hypercam or fraps and then I just sort of left it.. so now i'm back at it and trying to do my best to make videos of the games I like and just improve on the mistakes I do.

    People should make videos they enjoy making and not create a channel just to try to be a successful YTer. For some channels, it only take months to gain popularity, while for others, you could have a channel for years and still be a small channel. It’s best to start YT as a hobby and not try to make it your sole career/source of income. You can always reevaluate as your channel grows. And it it stays small, in the end that’s okay too. Even if you make one other person’s day brighter/inspire one person, it still counts.

    I'm my mind there are two main reasons for the channel I'm starting by the end of summer. I'd like to share with others how using VR for exercise and fitness works and that it can be an effective fitness tool, especially for people that don't like regular exercise. Also how using VR for exercise sparked an interest in other exercise activities for me.
    People generally don't believe VR can be used for effective exercise. That VR is only for entertainment or maybe work. I intend to change that perception. By doing so I'm hoping the channel will encourage people to try it for themselves.
    The other reason, which is unashamedly a selfish one, is that I'm hoping that by going public with my fitness journey the pressure will be on to continue hopefully succeed in getting fit and healthy.
    The channel will most likely be called "Gentle Berserker".
    In addition to the fitness perspective it will also feature other VR activities, mainly gaming. Some regular flat screen gaming will probably also make guest appearances.

    There’s some music that’s licensed by TH-cam and won’t get you a copyright claim. If you sign into TH-cam studio (the website, not the app) there’s a section with a very long list of music. There’s an icon on the left that brings you to the music. It’s either the bottom icon or the second one from the bottom. TH-cam lets you use that music in your videos without any problems. They regularly add to it too.
