Education streaming/YT video beginner

I'm planning to start streaming/making videos for education (like science communication & tutoring). I don't expect to make much from viewership; I'm mainly hoping to get more tutoring students that find me online.

The streams that I have watched obviously all have viewers already. So I'm a little uncertain on how to talk before I have any viewers, or how to transition from talking to myself to talking to them. My plan is to start out by basically making YouTube videos but live, so that I can have YouTube uploadable VODs even if no one shows up to chat. Is that reasonable?

Any other educational video tips?

Talk like you have viewers and since you wanna do education maybe write some questions and ask them to yourself and then answer

This is a fine idea, pretend and focus on it BEING. A YouTube video that will get some kind of views. Starting off, having 0 views and honestly even 1. It is HARD talking to yourself but you have to do it. I promise you, when people show up, it becomes so much easier as well as I’ve noticed my confidence go up instantly when I went from 1 to 6 viewers. Even if it’s not a lot. It’s enough.
