How to create a great
YouTube channel
BY JAIME DEJESUS
It truly is the golden age of TV thanks to streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime and
Hulu. Cable networks are also producing cinematic beauties. YouTube keeps growing, as
do podcasts.
Sure, the Google-run site is starting to stream original shows, but what makes it so
wondrous are YouTube channels hosted by regular people who have a niche and passion,
convey that on video and somehow get hundreds of thousands of subscribers.
It’s a crapshoot but also amazing how addictive watching your favorite YouTube personality
or listening to your favorite host can be. There are many reasons for this phenomenon. It’s
free. You can watch quick videos on your smartphone and you really gain a connection with
the personality.
And if you gain enough subscribers, you can make a bit of money on the side doing it. I’ve
never created content on YouTube nor would I attempt to. But I watch a whole lot of it and have
a sense of what I think makes a great channel. So, with that said, here are some tips on how to
create compelling content.
