Beginner YouTuber
After blogging for a year, I finally started trying YouTube. I procrastinated on this for 10 years.
Text and video are completely different mediums, so there’s a lot to learn. This collection documents what I’ve learned as a beginner YouTuber:
- Algorithms and platform mechanics - YouTube is nothing like blog SEO
- Video production workflow - From planning, filming, editing to uploading
- Creator mindset - How to deal with subscriber counts, views, and likes
Hope these notes help others who want to start a YouTube channel.
