Foundations • Publishing • Gear • Growth • Mindset • Community When testing with my initial test group I have observed many questions from my fellow beginner content creators. That is why i put up this FAQ to hopefully address some of the questions you might have early on. 🎯 Getting Started & Direction 1. How do I know if my channel topic is “good enough” to grow? Do simple research. Search your topic on YouTube and study: - Small channels (under 1,000 subs) - Medium channels (1,000–50,000) - Large channels (50,000+) Look at: - What videos they make - How many views they get - What topics repeat If small channels get views, the niche is active. If big channels exist, the niche has growth potential. 2. Should I focus on one topic or mix a few? Focus on one niche, not one format. A niche = a group of people with shared interest. You can experiment inside it: - Tips - Let’s Plays - News - Lists - Reviews Stay with one audience. Test formats within it. 3. How long should I stay in a niche? Minimum: - 10–20 videos - Or ~3 months YouTube needs time to find your audience. Changing too early resets progress. 4. What matters more early — topic or quality? Audio quality matters most. People forgive average visuals. They don’t forgive bad sound. If you invest early → buy a microphone first. 📅 Publishing & Consistency 5. How often should I post when starting? Aim for: - 1 video per week - Or 1 every 2 weeks if needed Focus on building the publishing habit. 6. Is one video per week enough? Yes. Consistency beats speed early. Stay steady — scale later. 7. Should I wait until videos are good? No. You improve by publishing — not waiting. Just aim to make each video slightly better. 🧠 Ideas & Planning 8. Where do video ideas come from? Start with your experience. Examples: - Game struggles - Tips you learned - Problems you solved Also check: - Comments - Questions - Community discussions Questions = video ideas.
