Are you ready to start a YouTube channel?

A lot of people wait for the perfect time to start creating content on YouTube. However, there is no perfect time to start anything. Whether you feel like you're ready or not to dive into the process, I encourage you to just start. I've been a YouTuber for over 8 years now.

When I first started my YouTube channel I had no idea what I was doing. In the beginning, I was filming videos with my iPhone on a stack of books. I didn't have any fancy cameras or equipment, I just had a desire to share and serve. That was more than enough. At the time, I was in the early stages of my self-development journey.

I felt alive and excited for my future, in ways that I had never felt before. The life principles that I was learning and living by were transforming every area of my life. I wanted to inspire others to grow and evolve. That being said, I didn't start creating video content to make make money off of people.

However, fast forward to today and my YouTube channel has helped me build a multi-million dollar business doing work that I love. If you have the desire to impact millions of people through your content, YouTube is an amazing platform to do so.

If you are just getting started, congratulations! This is an exciting journey. What we love about being YouTubers is that we get to add so much value to people all over the world. It also provides us with a unique opportunity to grow and develop ourselves.

As a result, we can add even more value to our audience. Before you get started, it's important to understand that building a YouTube channel is a journey. In the beginning, it can feel disheartening. You may not get any views from the videos that you publish. This is a part of the process.

YouTube rewards consistency. It's a game of momentum. If you are consistent, over time your channel will gain more subscribers and you will develop relationships with your viewers. It's all about figuring out what people want and what they respond to. Eventually, one of your videos will take off and your channel will grow exponentially.

In terms of the content itself, figure out what your niche is and what you are going to offer people. Keep your videos short. In the beginning stage of building your channel, people don't know you well enough yet. Thus, they don't want to give you 30 minutes of their time. Deliver on whatever the title of your videos is.

People appreciate it when you get straight to the point.

Before Tatiana and I create video content, we like to study other peoples' YouTube channels that are similar to our niche. Doing so allows us to determine the kinds of video topics that are performing well. Keep in mind that the goal isn't to copy other people's videos.

You're merely getting ideas. Every successful YouTube video starts with a great topic that others' are interested in. If you're putting out videos that people don't care about, you won't succeed on YouTube. It's not about you. Once you build up your audience you can create longer videos. At that point, your subscribers will have an interest in learning from YOU.

YouTube Tips and Tricks

First and foremost, we recommend that you film your videos in bulk. Once you record one video you will be in a state to record more. You will be more talkative and articulate. I like to take half a day to record a few different videos.

When it comes to your thumbnails, you want to make sure that they are high-quality. You could have the best video on YouTube, but if people aren't intrigued to click on your video, nobody will watch it. A great thumbnail entices people. Different thumbnails will convert differently on YouTube.

For example, a close-up thumbnail may work better versus one that is far away. Sometimes no text is better than text on the thumbnail image. You will figure out what is best through trial and error.

This is why we suggest that you create two thumbnails for each video and then split test them to determine which thumbnail is performing better. If you want to save time, you can hire a designer on Fiverr to design thumbnails for you relatively inexpensively.

The lighting is everything when it comes to creating videos. Natural light is the best for filming videos and taking thumbnail pictures. If you decide to film outside, be weary that noise can impact the quality of your videos, as well as the constantly-changing light.

Good quality audio is also crucial for engagement.

We use the Sennheiser EW 112 wireless microphone. Once you have the money to invest in a great quality camera, do it! We use a Panasonic GH5.

Finally, a powerful tool that we recommend that you use when creating your YouTube videos is TubeBuddy.

This is a great keyword research tool for determining which YouTube videos and their titles are performing the best. In turn, this will help you get your videos ranking higher in the search results, which will result in more views and subscribers over time.

Also, TubeBuddy helps you choose the best tags for your videos and allows you to split test your YouTube thumbnails. In my opinion, every new YouTuber should have this tool.

Make 2022 the year that you start your YouTube channel!

What stops a lot of people from starting a YouTube channel is fear. Don't worry about being perfect. All that matters is that you just start. Take action, stay consistent, and focus on making progress with every video you publish.

YouTube has transformed mine and Tatiana's life in so many ways. If you want to learn more about Tatiana and her work, I encourage you to follow her YouTube channel and Instagram where she shares her best tips and strategies for success with eCommerce.
