One of the biggest mistakes new content creators make isn’t just inconsistent posting—it’s setting an ideal schedule without allowing room for life to happen. A lot of us start off with the best intentions. We plan to post once a week, or maybe even twice a week, because we know that consistency is key on YouTube. But what most creators don’t account for is that life is unpredictable. A busy workweek, family emergencies, creative burnout, or even just getting sick can derail even the best-laid plans. That’s why I strongly believe that every channel—especially new channels and those struggling with consistency—should consider adopting what I call the 1+1 Strategy of Building a Content Bank. 1️⃣ WHAT IS THE 1+1 STRATEGY? It’s a simple but powerful way to create content without constantly feeling behind. At its most basic, you start by taking your original upload schedule and cutting it in half. ➤ If you plan to post once a week, start by posting every two weeks instead. ➤ If you plan to post twice a week, start by posting once a week instead. The point of this is to over-deliver and under-promise. But here’s the key—you still push yourself to create content at your original planned pace. How It Works in Practice: Let’s say your plan is to post two videos per week. Instead of telling your audience that’s your schedule, you announce that your plan is to post once a week while still creating two videos a week behind the scenes. ➤ Week 1: You create two videos, release the first one and schedule the second one for Week 2. ➤ Week 2: You create two more videos, scheduling them for Weeks 3 and 4. ➤ Week 3: You create two more videos, scheduling them for Weeks 5 and 6. ➤ Week 4: You create two more videos, scheduling them for Weeks 7 and 8. By the end of just four weeks, you’re already a full month ahead. You now have a "bank" of scheduled videos, allowing you to stay consistent even when life happens. 2️⃣ WHY USE THE 1+1 STRATEGY? 🔹 It Builds Consistency Without Overwhelming You: Many creators burn out early because they set a schedule they wish they could keep, rather than one they realistically can keep. By starting at half-speed, you allow yourself to build the habit of creating without feeling rushed or overwhelmed.
