How He comes up with Video Ideas and His Content Creation Process When I first started my journey on YouTube, I didn’t have any roadmap. Instead, I listened closely to my viewers' feedback and suggestions in the comment section. If they wanted to see the camera, I would showcase it in a video by using it in my daily life and sharing the pictures and videos I captured with the device. As time went on, I sifted through the comments and pinpointed the most requested topics to create content on. My approach was simple: I'd use the device, gather my thoughts, write a script, record my voiceover, and edit the footage to align with my narration. How He Builds a Community Around His Channel With every community, you have to understand that everyone who is subscribed to your channel is likeminded. They will come back to watch your videos, especially if you've helped them make a decision on their next device purchase. The most loyal members of this community are the ones who watch every single video you put out, as they share your fanatical passion for consumer technology. To keep them engaged, it's important to showcase as many new technologies as you can get your hands on, and ask for their thoughts too - because you genuinely want to connect with them on a personal level, through a shared interest. How He Stays Consistent and Avoids Burnout As a content creator, burnout is inevitable- and it's not because your content is boring. It's simply the monotony of doing the same thing repeatedly that can lead to burnout. To avoid this, it's important to strike a
balance between work and taking breaks to spend time with loved ones or enjoy a fulfilling work-life balance. The key to staying consistent is to establish a routine for creating content. This doesn't mean scripting, filming, and editing every day, but rather doing at least one part of the process daily. For me, there's not a single day that passes where I'm not creating something, even if it's just a little bit at a time. This helps me avoid burnout and keep my creative juices flowing. How He Measures the success Of His Channel In my opinion, success as a content creator should be measured by your work rate and consistency over the years, rather than just your views, likes, and subscriber count. Many creators get fixated on these vanity metrics, which can be discouraging if they don't see the results they expected. Personally, I was surprised to learn that I was one of the mostwatched YouTube shorts creators from blogs, even though I had already surpassed 100 million views in the past year. But for me, success is an ongoing journey. It's important to celebrate your milestones, but then keep pushing yourself to show up on people's feeds and keep creating. Don't get bogged down by the numbers, focus on the quality and consistency of your work, and success will follow. Strategies For Monetising Content on YouTube There are several ways to monetize your content. The most common one is brand collaborations. This is when a brand pays you to talk about your product on any of your social media platforms.
