Youtube Project: Day 1 - Taking The Plunge
Published on June 22, 2025
Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
Ive always been interested in trying a Youtube channel, and after wandering into the Youtube section of our training content I decided to take the plunge. I thought that my experience and angle might help others who also want to jump into making videos. While this isnt 'training' or 'tutorial' content, it could be helpful as an illustration on how a member of WA went from a goal, to a published channel with several views :)
Day 1: Make the decision and start investigating.
On day 1 I decided to go for it. The idea had been bubbling in my head for a long time, and given the training available on the web and Wealthy Affiliate, I decided to go for it. I started to look at some of the training content we have available, specifically the series from Magistudios and videos from EricCantu. Many of these videos reveal that you can get started with very little to no investment cost outside of your time and effort, which reinforced my idea to go for it.
Using these resources I set up my channel, created some branding in Canva, and started planning out my content.
And thats really it for the first day. I did very little research outside of the courses at WA. We literally have all of the information that I needed to start my channel so there was little other research to be done. In the next post I will talk about the tooling I selected to help me record, edit, and post to my channel.
