My advice to new creators...

1. Don't just do YouTube, consider joining other platforms such as Twitch and Odysee/LBRY. You never know when your channel could get banned. Just because your content is about safe topics, doesn't mean you are immune to power abuse from YouTube.

2. Use tools like restream.io to do multiplatform streaming! This ties into point 1a.

3. Be consistent. Upload videos and schedule them so they come out at the same day and time every week.

4. Edit your videos and make good thumbnails.

5. Don't clickbait.

6. Don't worry too much about your analytics.

7. Make friends IRL and share your channel with them... maybe do a collab with them too.

8. Do your research. You can find ways to save money on your YouTube gear by using what you may already have. For example, you can use a smartphone as a Stream Deck when starting out (saving around $150 or so).

9. Use TubeBuddy. lol Even the free version, while very limited has some useful tools. Maybe you you get enough people to install it, you can get you that sweet Legendary License for free! *wink wink*

10. Don't make your videos like mine. lol my videos suck! That's just my opinion though. xD
