1. What motivates me to start a YouTube channel?

Would you like to teach others, or would you prefer to delight the audience with entertaining content? Would you like to review games or movies or series? Whatever your plan is, the main thing is first to find the source of your motivation.

When designing the concept, keep these factors in mind:

  • Your topic is what your videos will be about.
  • Your target audience is the people for whom your videos are intended.
  • The reason your videos exist is why it is advisable to watch your videos, what your audience can gain from you.

2. How often do I plan to upload videos?

Once you know what you’re going to be filming and you’ve narrowed down your target audience, you can start making a production schedule. This way, you can always plan exactly ahead, and you only have to do the concrete tasks associated with video production and post-production.

How often is it advisable to upload content?

  • Vlog and gameplay videos: daily.
  • For more professional videos that require follow-up: weekly.
  • For scientific and academic-based videos: monthly.

3. What technical equipment will I need?

If you want to produce really high quality videos, professional technique is essential. Fortunately, you don’t have to spend a ton of cash to embark on the exciting journey of creating videos.

You will need to invest in these:

  • High resolution camera
  • Camera tripod
  • Microphone for clear sound
  • Green background
  • Video cutting software

4. How will I promote my channel?

Creating and uploading videos is one thing, and getting them to your target audience is another. However, keep in mind that even with promotion, it can take months or even 1-2 years for YouTube viewers to really get their heads up on your channel.

Promotional channels:

  • Social media. Instagram and Facebook are good places to link your videos in your posts to redirect as many people as possible to your YouTube channel.

  • Online forums. It’s a good idea to find forums your target audience uses where your videos can be relevant. It is important to link only your best videos to the forums, as the community there can be much more critical than on Facebook or other platforms.

  • Cross-promotion. By teaming up with another videographer, podcast creator, or other content producer, you can showcase each other’s content on your own channels, increasing traffic for both of you.

5. How are you going to make money with all this?

In the end, what else would be more important to consider than how you will profit from making videos? While many people think that YouTube pays a lot for watching ads that interrupt your videos, the reality is a little more nuanced.

The following options may be considered:

  • Affiliate sales and product promotion
  • Consultation service
  • Direct advertising from companies
  • Donations from fans
  • Alternative sources of income (Patreon, own ecommerce merchandise products, offline events, own mobile application promotion)

If you ask yourself these 5 questions, you’re way ahead of most YouTubers. The most important thing is to have a mature concept and a pre-established schedule in your hands before you shoot your first video. This way your channel and business will grow faster than you think!
