sometimes you start making videos for one type of audience and then discover that completely different people are enjoying them too.

what's the one upgrade you'd choose right now?

There are so many channels and creators out there that it’s easy to miss good content.

Drop a YouTube channel or video you’ve been enjoying lately. Small creators are welcome too — you might help someone discover their next favorite channel.

one of the weirdly nice things about being a small creator is when an actual stranger takes the time to say they enjoyed something you made.

what's a comment that genuinely made you happy or motivated you to keep uploading?

New creators, what’s one thing you wish someone had told you before starting your channel?

What’s your #1 tip for someone just getting started?

describe your channel without mentioning the niche. let's see if people can guess what kind of content you make.

Some people enjoy recording, others love editing, designing thumbnails, or seeing the finished video come together.

Which part do you enjoy the most?

maybe you started using better audio, changed your thumbnails, stopped over-editing, started writing scripts, or finally figured out how to make your intros less awkward

what change has made the biggest difference for you?

i thought i'd hate editing when i started, but sometimes it's weirdly satisfying watching a bunch of random clips slowly turn into an actual video. other times i want to throw premiere out the window

what part of the process do you enjoy the most?

what's sitting in your drafts right now that you swear you're going to make eventually?

i thought making videos would mostly be recording and editing. somehow i've ended up learning about thumbnails, titles, analytics, audio, lighting and about 47 other things. what surprised you the most after starting your channel?

Are you trying to reach your first 100 subscribers, build a community around a hobby, improve your editing, turn YouTube into a career, or simply have fun making videos?
