Introduction
One way to expand your influence and to create a name/brand for yourself is through YouTube!
You can also monetize your YouTube channel when you meet certain criterias, and post affiliate links in the description of the video.
Creating a YouTube Channel is easy. What is more difficult is to overcome the hurdle of self-doubt, being ‘camera-shy’ or thinking that you’re not ready or simply not up to it (and any other reasons that is stopping you!).
Here are 6 important points that I learnt since starting my YouTube channel to help you to start your own!
In no way am I a pro or even remotely a good ‘YouTuber’, but everyone have to start somewhere. =)

Great training, Idris.
I really wished I didn't wait more than 2 years to start my YouTube channel. But I must say, I am really having fun making videos and watching my channel grow.
I know it will take some time before I will meet the 1K subscribers and 4K watch hours monetizing requirements so I figured I will just keep uploading videos, do some tweaks and see where it goes.
By the way, what's your take on the idea of doing a silent livestream as a means to get subscribers? Basically, they will go live, connect with other Youtubers and trade subscription.
My college batchmate and I both started our channels almost at the same time. I subscribed to hers and she subscribed to mine.
One time I visited her channel to see how things are progressing and to my surprise, she already has close to 800 subs. To think that she hasn't been posting new videos for a couple of weeks.
When I asked her how she did it, she told me she spent a lot of time watching other people's YT videos and subscribing to their channels. She is doing silent livestream every weekends to FISH for subscribers without necessarily leaving her channel's URL.
She did encourage me to do the same. But I am hesitant not only because I don't think it's legal but also because I want people to subscribe to my channel because they actually like my content.
Cheers!
