Thinking about starting your own channel on Youtube as an artist, but worried if you think it's too late? No, it's not. There is no better time than now. You might think it's the opposite, because of the news about COPPA.
If you follow recent popular channels on YouTube, you probably have heard a lot about ‘COPPA’. It stands for the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998 (COPPA). It is a United States federal law aimed at regulating the online collection of personal data by persons or entities under U.S. jurisdiction (hence, U.S. based companies) about children under 13 years of age, including children outside the United States.
Because of COPPA, Youtube changed the rules and made impossible to maintain the same level of ad revenue for content creators. Many big YouTubers said goodbye to YouTube. They will shut down their channels to protest against YouTube's new policy. As an artist, this is exactly why you should start your channel in 2020.
Reason 1, Big YouTubers are leaving
Reason 2, They sell ads, you sell art
Reason 3, Youtube still works with Patreon
Reason 4, YouTube Kids offers new opportunities
What about you? Are you going to invest time and energy making YouTube videos in the coming year?
