    Amazing and so informative. What about monetizing content for children. I understand there are new policies in place that make it more challenging to earn revenue. Please advise.

    I just started my YouTube journey with a short. I am mostly a written content creator (Twitter and Medium).
    My question is, how could I leverage the YT platform to be an offshoot of my written content? I am focused on personal development and branding.
    Thanks and awesome straight to the point video!

    I recently went on a family vacation and wanted to film it. No experience in capturing anything, but I challenged myself. I don’t have a niche yet but I’ll do it as a hobby to work on my skills and we will see if my channel grows into something in the future.

    Great insights from this video! As a beginner content creator, I found out how important it is to stick to a consistent schedule. That's something Boost App Social really helped me with – the AI gave me content ideas in seconds and helped me stay consistent with my posting.

    I’m in Afghanistan and I have no passport or birth certificate so I can never legally leave my country.

    I was born in a village in a place called Helmand province (you probably never heard of it before but it’s where the American troops came (in the war).

    My dream is to become a content creator like you! I’ve been watching you for months now and you have inspired me to change my life.

    Do you have any work I can do to help you? I have a Canva account and a windows laptop I use and blackberry mobile device.

    Thank you
    Kind regards

    I used to make YT vids when I was in HS and I did my own video editing and absolutely loved it. I would love to get back into but on a professional level and potentially freelance or remote is ideal

    I have two questions.

    I want to make content for gaming, and card collecting. What's the way to make these pop up for people more? Step 3 was a bit confusing to understand. I use the #'s for my videos in their descriptions, and sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Not sure if there's more I need to do, like come up with catchier titles for the videos, or more direct titles or such.

    As for step 4, I could probably do a once a week upload, due to my health and such. Would this be helpful or even sustainable in say doing playthroughs of games? I'm not sure. Maybe I can piece out parts of a playthrough a part or two a week? I just don't know what's the best strategy.
