I'm Starting a YouTube Channel From ZERO — And You're Coming With Me I’ve decided to do something a little different. I already have my own YouTube channel, and it is monetised. So I’m not starting this journey because I don’t know how YouTube works. But I want to do something that I think could be incredibly useful for this community. I’m going to start a brand-new YouTube channel completely from scratch. No existing audience. I have no idea how fast it will grow. No subscribers. No videos. Starting from ZERO. The channel is called - YOUTUBE OVER 50. And the reason I’m doing this is simple: I want you to be able to follow the entire journey with me. I’ll be documenting what I do on YouTube, while also sharing the process, lessons, successes and mistakes right here inside our community. You’ll see how I approach: 🎥 Creating the channel 🎯 Choosing a niche 💡 Coming up with video ideas 🖼️ Creating thumbnails ✍️ Writing titles and descriptions 📈 Growing the channel 👥 Getting subscribers 💰 Working towards monetisation And I'm not going to pretend everything will work. Some things will. Some things won't. And I think that is exactly what will make this useful. We also have a target. 🎯 The goal is to get -YOUTUBE OVER 50- monetised before the new YouTube rules come into effect on 1st February 2027. So this isn't just theory. It's a real channel, a real challenge and a real deadline. And if you've ever thought: "I'd love to start a YouTube channel, but I don't know where to begin." "Am I too old to start?" "What would I make videos about?" "How do I actually get subscribers?" "Can someone over 50 really build a successful channel?" Then I want you to come along for the ride. I'm going to show you rather than simply tell you. And because this is a new community, you also have a chance to help shape what we build. Tell me what you want to learn. What videos would you like me to make? What are you struggling with? What would help you get your own channel started?
