How to Make Your First YouTube Video

This mini tutorial is for those who have never started a youtube channel but have a desire to become a big star on youtube.

Step 1: What You Need

Equipment: You need a camera, you can start with a proper camera or just with your phone. My recommendation, if you do not have a proper camera, use your own phone. But make sure to invest in a tripod because your video footage should not be shaky. You also need a microphone.

Subject and scene: You need something to film, for example, you can be your subject. You also need a location, a studio, if you are creating video indoors or outdoor location. Your scene needs to be well lit, if natural light is not enough, you need lamps.

Step 2: How to Do

Plan: You need a script. Your script should include narration as well as detailed scenes.

Film: Start filming, you can talk to the camera, shoot people or actions, etc.

Step 3: Finalizing

Editing: Remove unwanted scenes and background noise, ad background scores, start and end credits, etc.

Making Money From Short Videos

Short videos on Youtube are one of the easiest ways to make money on Youtube because you don’t need adsnese approval and you don’t need to pass the monetization threshold. However, in order to earn a lot of money just from shorts, you need a lot of views. So, how do you generate a lot of views for your youtube shorts? There are two ways to make money on youtube, one, you publish regular videos on your channel, pass the monetization threshold, and start earning from the views and impressions generated by your videos; and two, you publish short videos, and generate a lot of views and get a share on youtube content creators funds. You don't need subscribers or pass the monetization threshold to generate income through youtube short videos. While earning potential from your youtube channel is big, you can not actually earn a lot of money through youtube shorts, you can get only a small share of 100 million USD funds created by youtube. In order to earn money by publishing short videos, you do not need elaborate video-making skills, you can just start with the youtube app. However, you need elaborate video-making skills to create normal videos for your youtube channel. The success likes in your ability to do SEO.

Is Youtube Actually a Passive Income Source?

A lot of people like to list youtube as one of the best passive income sources. However, the main question is:

Is Youtube actually a passive income source?

You can continue to make money from the video you published 10 years ago, therefore, people believe youtube is a passive income source.

However, in order to constantly get views, you need to constantly publish videos. If you are constantly publishing videos, you need to work every day on your videos (developing ideas, researching ideas, writing scripts, shooting videos, editing videos, doing SEO, marketing, etc.).

You get views on youtube in three ways, one, from youtube search or google search, two, from youtube recommendations, and three from external platforms (from the platforms where videos are shared).

Your search ranking can be easily toppled, youtube will stop recommending your videos when you are less active.

If you check the list of people who make the most money on youtube, you will see everyone is very active.
