How to Start a Successful YouTube Channel in 2021

Running a successful YouTube channel is the dream of a lot of creatives, but with the platform more inundated than ever before, it takes a lot of careful planning and skill to stand out from everyone else. If you are ready to start your channel this year, this excellent video tutorial offers lots of helpful advice and guidance to put you on the right path.

Coming to you from Think Media, this great video tutorial will show you how to start a new YouTube channel this year. Whether you are looking to reach an audience or to create a source of income, a YouTube channel can be a very fulfilling thing. One thing that I think is particularly important is having good production value right from the start. With so much content being put out these days, viewers simply do not have time to view it all, and they will often use whatever information they can to quickly decide whether to watch something or not, with the quality of the video being one of those metrics. You do not need an ultra-expensive setup, but taking the time to make sure you have a clean space and good lighting will go a long way to making your content more noticeable. Check out the video above for the full rundown.

Last year one of Fstoppers' articles asked about New Years Resolutions, and I said: I'm going to launch a YouTube channel. I was going to launch a travel vlog... but then Covid outbreak happened... I was very discouraged.
Channels like Think Media, however, helped me to learn how to re-focus my efforts on a new niche and I have been making cooking videos since August of 2020. Its a fascinating process, and has changed how I use my camera gear now!
