I've been making YouTube videos for 6 years and have created over 2,000 videos. In this video, I'm breaking down everything I wish I knew when I started.
I'll show you how to start a YouTube channel in 2026, choose a niche, find video ideas, write better hooks, create thumbnails, edit videos, use YouTube SEO, understand CTR and AVD, grow with Shorts, and most importantly, make money from your channel.
I also explain how to build an audience that actually trusts you, and the different ways creators can monetize beyond AdSense - including brand deals, affiliate marketing, courses and digital products.
If you're starting from 0 subscribers or wondering whether YouTube is still worth it in the age of AI, watch this video till the end.
