YouTube? How to Start

You wanna start YouTubing?
Well, you found the right place

I’ll go over
how I started
How is it going and
how you can do it as well.

Why should you listen to me
instead of Mr Beast?

If you’re just starting out
it’s better to learn from people
at your level
The things that work for Mr Beast
probably won't work for you or me

Let’s get to it

Succeed on YouTube?
How do you succeed on YouTube?

Just start
Don’t overthink
don’t overlearn it
You can only learn by doing and failing

Don’t get held up on making things perfect
But remember to experiment
And you’ll find out what works for you

Growth
Are you not growing on YouTube
or other social media?
don’t be discouraged.
Let me show you something here real quick here

I had my YouTube channel for 1 year and 1 month
In the first year, I got 70 subscribers with 95 videos
40 of those subscribers were my friends and family etc..
that I begged to get on
The next Month (this month)
I have 100 subscribers with around 10 videos
Meaning I more than doubled in a month.
So don’t be discouraged
Keep going

But also keep experimenting
you won't grow with the same material
or the same approach

How to get an initial boost
When you’re starting out
you won't get any views or subscribers
Ask your friends to reply and like your videos
or your other social posts

Replying is super important
It won't make bad content go viral
but it will give it a little boost
On YouTube 7 friends - 40 views

If the content is good, it might get 400
or even go viral
So it’s super important

You can also boost with shorts
By repurposing a bigger video into shorts

What doesn’t work
YouTube content that does not work for new accounts

Vlogs and FAQs do not work
But let’s back up.
Where do you get your views from?

People see your video and click
People see shorts and click
You share with friends
When you don’t have a following,
A FAQ with a random person is not interesting
And you can’t make good shorts of this
So you mainly get views from your friends
which isn’t enough to make a difference

What do work
Do you want to make content that actually gets watched?

This is what worked for me

Things you’re a specialist in and it’s a bit controversial.

My video SQLite is Enough got 3700 views and 150 likes
Why?
I am a specialist in this,
and I have a controversial opinion about how you should
run your servers.

How to record
You’re making videos
but how do you do it?
And what equipment?

I’d say buy a cheap microphone
and use your phone as a camera
That should be enough for most things

But the most important thing
buy this little circle light
that will improve your videos tremendously
and it costs almost nothing

Editing
Your YouTube content should be edited
and you should put some nice memes in

People's attention is like a goldfish
and they want to be entertained
So make informative videos,
yes
but make it easier for yourself to get subscribers

Now, basic editing is easy
So just get started
and remember don’t think about perfection
You’ll learn as you go

If you have the money for it,
hire an editor instead
and spend the time on making better videos
