Understanding YouTube and my questions
Here’s a clean version that fits that section while staying organized and not overwhelming: The biggest thing I want to learn right now is how to make my videos more engaging so people actually stay and watch. I feel like I have good ideas, but I want to improve things like hooks, pacing, storytelling, and also get better at thumbnails and titles so people actually click. I’m still early in my journey (around 100 subscribers), and I’ve been feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the ideas I have. It’s exciting, but I also get stuck trying to figure out the “right” series or direction to start with. Sometimes that pressure makes it harder to actually begin. If you were in my position, what would you focus on first? Here are a few specific questions I have: • What works better for beginners — simple longplays or a Let’s Play / Forever World? • What’s a good beginner-friendly series idea?• Does restarting fresh and scheduling content ahead sound like a good idea? • Is running an SMP alongside a main series manageable, or too much early on? • Any tips for recording confidently when you’re alone? • How did you approach longer videos when starting out? • How do you balance streaming and turning streams into videos? • How important is editing for beginners—should it stay simple? I’d also love to understand more about the reality of content creation overall—like growth, the algorithm, and even the financial side if you’re comfortable sharing. Thank you for taking the time to read this, I really appreciate any advice 🙏 This version fits the “questions section” better: clear, focused, and still shows you’re serious without being too long.

@Rosby Duhart I find that mods like Replay, and Flashback are very useful for creating B-Roll... it's always fun to have the ability to create cameras to give the viewer more interesting shots
Question of the Day (April 29)
How many subscribers do you have right now? What’s your subscriber goal 6 months from now?

My original channel is at 2062. The new one is currently at 29. In 6 months, I would like to see it at 50

Well... 100 would be nice, but I'm being realistic, with my time for making videos being so limited at the moment.
Question of the Day (April 28)
Everyone has their ultimate goal for what they want to achieve on YouTube. But we need to think about the next step first. What is your short term goal for your YouTube channel? It can be milestones, things you've learned, and so on.

My aim is to work on quality content rather than pushing content out faster then I can reasonably keep up with.
Welcome to YouTube Creator Workshop!
In this community, you will find likeminded people who are interested in growing their channels and improving their videos. This includes, but is not limited to, video descriptions, thumbnails, titles, search engine optimization, video structure, hooks, and more. If you have a question, I will have advice for you, and so will other members of the community. This community is driven by you. The Classroom will contain lessons created by myself to help you with the growth of your channel and your videos, targeting specific aspects that you may be interested in. You are free to request more in depth lessons that will help everyone. I will have real examples of analytics from my own channel, as well as how I create my videos. As with other communities on Skool, YouTube Creator Workshop is always a work in progress, because there is always something new to learn as the environment and algorithm on YouTube changes (which it does frequently). I will be active in here every day with answers, new questions, and more. To start things off, please introduce yourselves to the community and what kind of YouTube channel you have.

@Jay Dee Archer yeah, the home page design just hasn't been great for a while. Although, I do believe I know why "Genius_James" is struggling... the vast majority of the sub count (as in about 1700 of the 2000 subscribers) came from a single short back in 2020... since then, as my focus has primarily been long-form, most of the subscribers weren't watching any of the new content that I released... don't get me wrong, part of it will be the packaging of videos (my thumbnails have only recently got to the point where people may click on them/titles have never been a strong point), but I truly believe the views/subscribers count ratio has been hurting the channel in the eyes of the algorithm.

@Jay Dee Archer I agree! I won't be making any shorts on the new channel, not risking it messing with the analytics again

Typically at the weekend. My weekday schedule changes every week making it tricky to pick good times/days to start shooting
