This. Youtube replaced the Sears catalogue as a source of softcore porn.

Also apparently Youtube's algorithm really likes it when you follow it's recommendations and use all it's features. There's a lot of audience engagement and community tools that I completely ignore. Likes, subscribes, and comments are the bare minimum.

If you tell me to like and subscribe in an obnoxious voice it might help

I personally will not

For real though what are you good at? Make that your angle and just film yourself doing something you know. If it's a craft, gently promote buying something

Being a internet success can a lot of times mean you already have access to funds, unless you want to go the horny route. It's not miracle money.

i've found myself in need of an additional income source, and i've been wanting to create a youtube channel for a long time, so figured this might be the best way to go about it. only question now is: what should it be about? i'm interested in things like vidya games, anime, general tech, history, and politics. one specific topic i thought might be good is doing the history of companies like Cold Fusion and Company Man do. both channels are pretty huge. though difference in my case is that i could focus specifically on video game publishers/developers. surprisingly, there's not that many channels that cover this kind of stuff. i mean, maybe for like the biggest of the biggest publishers like nintendo/sony/ms/activision/etc. but there's a ton of mid tier and low tier (financially speaking) that don't get covered, so it could be an untapped market.

but that's just one idea that i'm not 100% wedded to. i'm open to suggestions. does anyone here have a yt channel? if so, what do you talk about and how successful have you been?

Are you willing to get your boobs out?

"You'll never know if you can fly unless you take the risk of falling."
Make a video where you count to 10,000

then you take the funds and make a production house complete with your own "friend group" (nobody will know who these people are, unless they are REALLY para social)

and you do "challenge" videos like "last one to leave this block of ice wins $10,000

And then you take the funds to sell a ghost kitchen restaurant franchise or chalky tasting chocolate bars or merch that can best be described as "street wear, but safe for suburban moms to buy for their kids"

The real answer is of course become a guy who curates highly profitable Youtube niches and maybe puts notable youtubers on a ranked list. It's like selling books on how to get rich, it cannot fail!

Have you considered being a douchebag bro who is already rich, or, barring that, a woman (minimum 6/10 on conventional attractiveness ofc, lord algorithm frowns on uggos dawg) with basic hair+makeup skill, and/or feet? Because those are the only two ways I know to actually cultivate any sort of audience from scratch.

I think his only real crime is "Being English", yeah. :)

Also, he's not the most typical youtuber - he had already done student comedy and been in a few things on TV when he started on YouTube. Having experience and confidence in front of a camera probably helps, as does having a good network of contacts to work with.
