How would YouTube Masters start a channel in 2023? ππΌ
With a combined 38 million subscribers, Ali Abdaal, MKBHD, and Mrwhosetheboss all agree on the following nuggets of wisdom:
1: Choose a niche you're passionate about. It will sustain you in the long run.
2: Offer valuable content that solves a problem or entertains. Ask yourself, "Why would someone click on my video?"
3: Start videos with a compelling hook to retain viewers.
4: Avoid asking for likes or subscribers at first; focus on delivering value first.
5: New creators shouldn't focus too much on analytics. They can be misleading and disheartening.
6: Once you have a few hundred to a few thousand views per video, analytics become useful for spotting patterns.
7: Speak from the heart; authenticity trumps overproduction.
8: One well-made video is better than several mediocre ones.
9: You can't do everything. When you can, start outsourcing tasks that you're not good at or don't enjoy.
10: Build a team whose strengths complement your weaknesses.
11: Keep posting regularly; your skills and confidence will grow over time.
12: Remember, your audience is made up of real people, not just data points.
Bonus: The journey is tough but rewarding. On the other side of discomfort is a rewarding career, community, and, potentially, substantial earnings.
Start with this foundation, and youβre setting yourself up for a win.
