If you were to start a YouTube channel, what kind of videos would you post?

by•
With many of us working from home and looking for different creative outlets, a few of my friends have mentioned starting their own YouTube channels as a hobby/side project. Have you been considering this as well? If so, what would your channel be on? If you already have your channel, feel free to share it in the comments! Would love to check it out.

Back in March, we had to stay at home. Looking ahead I thought to myself what would be a good skill to learn during these times and I saw the huge rise in live streaming video. From April to June I learned and acquired everything I needed from software to hardware on how to live stream. By July I launched my first episode of the SEO Video Show https://youtube.com/c/seovideoshow . And this past weekend, 5 months later, I hit 1000 subscribers! 🥳🎉 I've networked and met more people staying at home in the past few months than I have in the past few years at events. LOL My topic is so niche, but I love talking about SEO, and like @hannah_lontt said interviewing people in the SEO industry has made me a better SEO. I having a ton of fun and learning a lot at the same time

@hannah_lontt @paul_andre Paul, that is great to hear! And yes SEO is niche, but soo crucial to running a successful business today. My team and I always need help in that department, so I will def check out your videos :)

Personally food channel for sure! Although I do prefer tiktok and reels to youtube now
Kayelynn Phillips
@aaronoleary you could do food tiktoks
Hannah S Kim
@aaronoleary Yes, there are so many great food channels on YouTube. Had to delete my Tiktok because it was too addicting lol
TunePocket Music
We've experimented with all kids of videos and settled on the two types that we plan to focus on moving forward. These are: a) short tutorials for our existing clients helping them to use our music library, i.e. the videos that answer specific, commonly asked support questions (how do I do this or that) and b) videos highlighting specific products from our catalog at TunePocket . These mostly are music playlists for specific business use. These are the two types of videos where we see best engagement from the viewers. Hope this helps somebody to come up with their YouTube strategy!

Ultimately what videos you want to post depends on what are you trying to achieve with your channel. Are you promoting your product, are you monetizing, are you looking for sponsorship or endorsement deals or you just having fun.

My youtube channel is just a set of Growth hacking tutorials (in line to what I was doing on medium). I'm preparing a new channel for QApop.com which will be showing how to use the tool (doing something similar to Phantombuster channel)
Hannah S Kim
@fabian_maume Very cool- and also so useful! Thank you for sharing :)

Interviews with fascinating people in your field
Hannah S Kim
@hannah_lontt Would totally watch this. This would be great as a podcast as well

I researched this topic too, and found out that sharing your experience is a good topic to start, as people often use Youtube to "google" about problem solving. I plan to start on the topics around building a startup, accelerators, product management, how to start, being a woman in tech/startup world.
Hannah S Kim
@evgenia_trofimova Those are all great topics!

Not Youtube, but I've thought a lot about starting a twitch or other livestream channel around daily stuff. Could be around investing/trading, programming, playing games, or travelling. I like the livestream medium a bit more since the audience is okay with genre shifts from day to day. They also generally have a lower bar for production quality (I mean in terms editing/cutting on a video).

@zyqxd Very good ideas
Kayelynn Phillips
i think i would post anime texting stories, anime character asmr for comfort, and reverb and slow down sad songs, and make gacha life videos :)

@weeb_girl 😊✨
Codo logix

I think I'd do something about Artificial Intelligence, maybe something related to Generative Adversarial Networks and how to build them (they're the same used to generate realistic looking photos / videos / etc). Or just tech in general.
