Topic:  Starting Your YouTube Channel

 

This week John and Lisa answer another question you submitted to us about how to start your YouTube channel.

Here are some of the topics and questions we discuss:

Come up with a message statement.  What is the goal of your channel.  Know why you are creating the channel.

Who is your target audience?  Speak to that person.  

Do you need an avatar or should you use a picture of yourself?

What should you put in your banner?

How much attention should you pay to preparing your playlists?

Should you adhere to a consistent schedule?  

Is there a right way to share?  And how much should I share?

 

Should you do collaborations, and if so, how do you choose who you do a collaboration with?

 

Should I sign up for one of the “growing your channel” networks when they reach out to me?

 

Should you subscribe to video creators?  

 

We also discuss consideration for:

  1. Your camera set up
  2. The room you record in
  3. Camera or mic stand vs a tripod
  4. Lighting
  5.  

    What software should you use:

    Lisa uses PowerDirector 12

    John has started using Premiere Pro

     

    What are the pros and cons to editing:

    Workflow considerations

    Batching topics and work tasks together to be less overwhelmed
