Creating A Channel on YouTube
To set up a Channel First you need a Gmail Account. After setting Gmail account, you need to use the same email Id and Password to log in to YouTube.
After you created a channel in YouTube, you need to upload a video. It is good practice to upload Logo and if you don’t have one than use Fiverr service or create your own.
Choosing a Niche or Topic
Once you have created your channel, chose a Niche or Topic you want to publish in your channel. Even if you don’t have any topic in your mind than post any video you think you feel to share. Make sure you read YouTube T&C and Policies before posting a Video.
Uploading First Video
Once your Video is posted, you need to keep it consistent on weekly basis or monthly basis. High Quality at this stage doesn’t matter much but genuine footages and good content can monetize channel faster.
Never Give up and Improve Skills
Do not be stressed out at any stage and do not compare with anyone, just focus and watch videos in YouTube creators channel. There are many videos made by people also so don’t get confused. Make a note of things you want to implement in your action plan.
Some people have monetized in one month, some took years. It all depends upon your videos, topics and many other factors like views, engagement, subscribers, watch time, timings etc.
YouTube Criteria
Till now YouTube main criteria is 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours in last 12 months. But there are other factors also like copyright claims, copyright strikes in your videos and anything against there policies.
Many people make few videos and don’t see results so give up very early or in few months. Remember that climbing mount everest is not easy so as earning passive income. This platform is huge and has given equal opportunities to everyone to come forward and show there skills, talents, ideas. You don’t have to be the best in the world. To me this platform can reward and at the same time give you happiness, while you are carrying on your life with your family.
Posting Videos on YouTube
Posting video regularly is always the best practice.
Although your subscribers and watch hours grow naturally but you can always share your videos with your Friends, Family or people who like those type of content. You can share on other social media platforms but again depends upon the platform if the allow.
Title: Title of Video is very important. Watch this video
Description : Description is below the video. Make sure you type the description because it appears in search results if it is relevant to video. Watch this video to get idea
Hash Tags: Every video can attract the audience. Hash Tags are very important also. This feature is available below the videos. Make sure every hash tags for example, #home and than press comma
Music : Music is provided copyright free by many sites and YouTube audio library also provide but make sure to select (No Attribution Required) or if you are talented enough than use your own music. Many videos can be posted without music and still monetized so it all depends upon authenticity and Topic.
Thumbnail: It is good practice to add a thumbnail. Although YouTube create automatically but it might not be as good as it should be, so create a thumbnail. You can use Fiverr for that or use some apps. Thumbnails basically create impressions which eventually create views and watch hours.

Hello. I recently launched my blog, and I`m planning to start recording my own videos. I was thinking about how to monetize a YouTube channel, so I`m glad I came across your post. It contains the answers I was looking for, such as how to find free music. YouTube is really a great opportunity for making a passive income, but it takes time and dedication to succeed.

Thanks. Although it explains the basics but YouTube is way more than just monetization because it gives exposures to Business and Individuals
Making money on youtube should be fun as long as you follow the step but the steps seems simple. Make sure to choose a popular niche so you can get traffic and stick to that niche. Ofcourse to get the result it can take months. So do not give up. That is same for affiliate marketing.
Very true. Niche is good but sometimes people get too confused and get disappointed if the niche doesn’t work so keep trying if one doesn’t work.
I feel like to make it on Youtube in this day and age, you really need to fill a specific gap/niche consistently for about two years or more with quality content before expecting any results. This can especially be done if you have a unique skill or expertise.
It has literally taken most big channels a year or more until they started growing and getting somewhere. You need to be in the mindset of making content regardless of the views for a long time.
That being said, however, there are a number of shortcuts you can use to fast forward the process. One of these is guest appearances.
Basically getting in touch with people that have already gotten some following, and using them as a means to make yourself known.

Very informative article. You pretty much hit every step on starting off right in You tube. It can be intimidating for people starting out but these days they have software that will help people make amazing videos. You don’t even have to use your own voice for them. You can add automated voice overs that do it all for you. So, in essence creating content for a You Tube channel has become easier than ever.
Very True. Although there are many other factors also but basic stuff is not hard. Even good content can be made with efforts.
