Many creators make the mistake of getting that first hire without much thought. However, before jumping into job boards, take a hard look at what you actually need.

So, you’ve got your first YouTube channel up and running, and now you’re thinking about creating a second one? Maybe you want to experiment with a new content style, target a different audience, or just keep things a bit more organized. The good news? Setting up a second YouTube channel is super easy, and you don’t even need a new Google account!

This debate never truly ends: What is the best length for a YouTube video? Should you optimize for the algorithm with long-form content, jump into the growing Shorts playground, or find the perfect balance?

YouTube's making a lot of changes, adding new features and moving them around, but there is one thing that keeps being super important, and that is YouTube Playlists. In this guide, we'll show you why they are so crucial, how to build a playlist on YouTube, and how to use all its features.

Having a good sound is very important for a YouTuber. If your audio sounds like it was recorded in a cave, that’s an instant dealbreaker for the viewer. Choosing the right microphone isn’t just about buying the most expensive one. It’s about selecting the right tool for your specific content, setup, and workflow.

Every experienced creator reaches a point where audience growth plateaus or you just stop growing as fast as it was. The English-speaking market, while lucrative, is saturated.

For years, Twitch and live streaming have been nearly synonymous. If you wanted to stream, Twitch was the default choice – it had the culture, the community, and the infrastructure built around live interaction. YouTube, on the other hand, was where you uploaded polished, pre-recorded content. That was the conventional wisdom. But that thinking is outdated.

There’s a reason funniest creators dominate YouTube’s viral scene. A well-placed joke can turn a good video into a great one and even become a meme that spreads like a wildfire all over social media. But we’ve also seen the flip side: a joke lands wrong, and suddenly, a creator that was everyone’s favorite a moment ago becomes a highly controversial figure. So, how do you keep humor as a lighthearted tool for growth while avoiding the pitfalls that have taken down some of the biggest channels? Let’s get into it.

What if 80% of the viewers who would love your content never watch – just because they don’t speak your language? More than 60%, according to YouTube's own data, of watch time on English videos comes from non-English speakers, yet most creators stick to one language, leaving massive growth (and revenue) untapped.

Audience engagement has always been a cornerstone of success on YouTube. But managing the comment section on your YouTube channel can feel like a full-time job. Whether you’re dealing with spam, trolls, or the pressure to keep up with an active audience, it’s no small task. Done right, YouTube content moderation and engagement strategies can elevate your channel from “just another content hub” to a real community.
