Sharing YouTube Channel Start-Up Tips Including Tips From Cathrin Manning And Other YouTube Creators

Hello Everyone! I sometimes go looking for good advice since I decided to become a YouTube creator under the name Verbally Disastrous. I took some notes from a YouTube creator by the name of Cathrin Manning. She gave some good tips so I am sharing her YouTube page and notes that came from one of her videos. It is fair to give credit when it is due. Here is Ms. Manning's YouTube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3VWHYS6atML3nKVUmEr0lA Here are some tips on starting a YouTube channel: Really think through your channel name Google your channel name before you commit to it Figure out what videos you would like to make Narrow down your passions into a specific niche Don’t niche down too hard Figure out your target audience (tip: come up with 3 main topics that you can create videos about and stick to it!) Stop trying to be like other YouTubers Find something different that you can bring to YouTube (and lean into it like crazy) Learn the algorithm as soon as possible Create a YouTube strategy and uploading schedule Start saving up for nicer equipment (don’t go out and blow $$$ before you even create your first video) Make smaller investments as you go Sign up for epidemic sound [sponsored] Take a specific photo for your thumbnail (not just a screen capture) Create videos no one else has created (you really have to think outside of the box here!)

I hope you can use the advice as much as I could use it as a new YouTube creator. I checked out some other creators such as Think Media, vidIQ, tech HOW, Gallagur, Nick Nimmin & Dee Nimmin, and a few others. I believe I learned some good technical tips from Gallagur such as adding your logo tag for the duration of the video. The subscribe button imbedding to the video so a viewer can see the subscription and click on it. Each one of the folks offered a nugget of good information to take away. I am using the portrait style video under 30 seconds- known as "#shorts" to gain new viewers. I put the "hashtag short" in my description on each of my videos so YouTube can pick it up and share as a short video. I learned that tip via looking at other creators giving tips when I first started. When I check my analytics, 90% or more of my audience came from my "short" videos. That is good to get new traffic since some may explore my page and find my podcast & audio blog episodes. I am not an expert but I have learned quite a bit in such a short period of time. As of today, I have 76 subscribers. I am trying to get to 100 subscribers. The next goal is 250, then 500, then 750, then 1000k subscribers. I appreciate anyone who supports the channel. Once you click on my subscribe, I shall do the same for you. I hope these tips help you as much as they have helped me. I wish you a restful Monday and a productive week! Cheers! Leslie M.
