[00:02] 24 million views, more than 3 lakh subscribers and more than $5,000 in revenue on my channel. But if all this goes to zero and I have to become a YouTuber again from the beginner stage, that too in 2026, then here are five things that I will do as a [00:15] beginner. The biggest mistake I made as a beginner YouTuber. And I am sure right now you guys will also be doing it. It's that I was stuck in analytical paralysis. This is a stage where you just keep gathering information. [00:29] But do not take any action to reach the goal. You all want to be a YouTuber. And if I ask you what it takes to become a YouTuber ? So you will say that tell me how many videos have you guys uploaded till now? I am sure the [00:42] answer of most of you will be zero. The reason is you guys are stuck in a loop of trying to perfect things. What is your actual work there? You are not uploading videos but just gathering ideas about what would be the best way to upload [00:54] or make videos. And believe me, this is not just your problem. Every creator you see on YouTube today has gone through this stage. I realized in 2020 that I want to become a YouTuber. But I didn't upload my first video until 2021 [01:06] because I was stuck in this stage. But when I started Tube Sensor channel I did not make this mistake. As a result I am a guys must be thinking what to upload, where to upload it asetra asetra. So let [01:19] me help you. As a beginner, if I had zero skills and knowledge, the first thing I would do would be to start a dummy channel. Where I do make oneself better. You don't have to have any hope from this channel. [01:32] experiment channel. And you have to upload the video here. Pick whichever niche you like. Copy the chat ideas of that niche from the channels of top creators or get it generated from Chat GPT and then make a video on it. Upload at least [01:45] three videos on that channel. When you do this, you will have come out of analytical paralysis. And finally, you will see right now what are your shortcomings and which skills need to be improved. [01:58] YouTubers you see today have failed channels or they might have 30 to 35 failed videos from which they learned and then made good videos and went viral. You want to become successful in life you will have to learn how to fail. So if you [02:12] follow the first step, you will transform from a dreamer to an action taker. After which you have to go to the second step which is mastering craft. To become a YouTuber, there are some basic skills that you must know. The first one is voice over. Many [02:24] people are insecure about their voice, which is why they don't want to record themselves. As a result, they fail even before becoming YouTubers. Voice over does n't mean having a good voice. Voice over is basically a way of communication that can be [02:36] And if you guys do n't believe it then listen to this. How to and many big creators also have channels. But among all these channels, there is one This was the voice over of my first video and when I started the channel today my [02:51] voice over was something like this. But today you people are listening to my voice. Which is a Did I change my vocal code ? No. I learned how to speak simply. Learned the basics of sound and also learned voice editing tools. [03:05] Doing just these three things will make a huge difference in your voice. If you want to know these things in detail then make sure that you guys must watch this video of mine. You have to improve something in every video on your experimental channel. [03:18] you have to work on your voice over in your fourth video. It is confirmed that your voice over will be Now after doing voice over, the second skill you have to learn is scripting. As a beginner, scripting always [03:31] seems like a huge task. Because you do n't know how to do research, what to write and when, how to keep the audience engaged. But to be honest, it is not that difficult if you follow a basic framework which is like this, in any industry [03:43] or niche, there are three major pillars of a script - hook, main points, CTA and changing, for example, if it is a script of an education channel, then its framework will be something like this - below the bullet points, subpoints [03:57] and then CTA, I also follow this framework, till now, if you people want video on scripting, where I teach you everything from research to the pattern of scripting writing, then pattern of scripting writing, then [04:09] Now after scripting, the next skill is recording. If you are thinking of opening a gaming channel then you should know how to record gameplay. thinking of starting a documentary or self-improvement channel, then you should know how to record yourself. [04:24] Or if you are in tech then you should know how to record the product. Doesn't matter what niche you are in, you have to record something. And this can sometimes be quite technical work. And the reason I am saying you have to improve this skill is [04:36] because you have no idea If you just change the lightning in facecam videos, the learn a little cinematography for a tech channel, your videos will look professional. And if you have a channel like me then [04:52] in best quality. Give time to this skill because 90% of beginners make the mistake of not thinking about it. How can you reach any ideal video or quality level with the resources you have, considering it as a standard [05:05] resources you have, considering it as a standard if you have a small phone, you can do everything. You just record then your next skill to upgrade is editing. [05:19] Editing is not as hard as you think. You do n't even need to keep your videos highly edited to start with. The market is changing. And now people are preferring to watch less edited content. But still you guys [05:33] In this video, I have literally shared all the information That too keeping psychology in mind. So make sure to watch this video. Once the editing is done then the next skill you need to learn is [05:46] thumbnail designing. Again, thumbnail designing is not a very technical task or you do about concept and design. If you know the basic principles of designing then [06:00] I have taught these basic principles in great detail in this video. So make sure to watch this video after this. After thumbnail, the skill you should know is SEO. How to upload a video? [06:14] What is written in metadata? What are the upload settings ? Etra Esetra. All this is part of uploading which you will have to learn sooner or later. But again this is not the most important thing because [06:28] you should not hold on to these things and think that if I do When you have learned all these previous skills and have uploaded a lot of videos, then the last skill you have to learn is Analytics. [06:42] YouTube is a data game. It is a game of numbers. And if you want quick growth here and want to differentiate yourself from the competition, then you will have to understand the data. Only then will you be skills that you have to learn with the help of experimental channel. Even if you [06:56] focus on just one skill in each of your videos, by the time you upload your 11th video on your experimental channel, you will have left behind 60% of YouTube creators. Yes you heard it right. The left behind 60% of YouTube creators. Yes you heard it right. The [07:09] n't even know the basics. But you can leave them behind in just 11 videos. It may take 2 to 3 months to make these 11 videos. And in these many months you will realize well whether you actually want to become a YouTuber or not. Whatever you do, you will have to do the [07:23] beginner when I will have come out of the paralysis state and have mastered my skills to a great extent. The next and have mastered my skills to a great extent. The next channel. Before creating a new channel, it is important to know your niche. And it [07:36] niches related to which you created content in the Experiment Channel, which video did you enjoy making the most, that is your niche. If you do n't have a niche, then look at what form of content you [07:49] before you can become a creator, you have to become a good consumer. And if you get bored in the niche you are your YouTube career will also start going down at that very moment. you cannot produce either. There are many stages in niche selection. [08:05] Like looking at the size of the industry, looking at the money opportunities, so be it. But in Believe Me 2026, there is money in every niche, and lots of it. Even business models are available for every niche. But you will only be able to become a successful YouTuber [08:18] if you remain consistent within that niche. So. Therefore, Ask yourself what you enjoy doing. Can you do it for the next 3 years? And what is something that will not make you born? Alldo, you might have got the [08:31] niche clear from the experimental channel itself but if there is any confusion then introspect yourself in that case. Play Smart Now As a beginner I will have skills now. I'll have a niche. So what [08:43] I have to do now is play smart. You may have come to YouTube from two reasons. Either to make yourself stand out or to create an income source. And in most of the cases it's always option two. So if you want to make money on YouTube, do [08:55] you need to be super unique or creative? not at all. created a very simple framework by following which I can I am going to share that framework with you so that you can [09:09] start gaining good views from the first video on your new channel. This framework is called copy a very important thing about YouTube. YouTube is not a video platform but it is a click to watch platform. Please understand the depth of this matter. [09:22] If you create a number one content , even if you have hidden a treasure inside it on YouTube. If no one will ever know what you created? What treasure was hidden? [09:36] All your hard work will be of no use just because no one clicked on your video. So the question here is how to get clicks as a beginner? The answer is very simple. Work on packaging the video. That is, title and thumbnail. [09:48] 80% of the credit for any of your videos going viral goes to your packaging and the role of content is only 20%. So according to the copy paste framework, first of all you have to create content on that topic which has already gone viral. For [10:00] example, if I am in an AI initiative where after doing market research I see that and not just on one creator's channel but on multiple creators' channels, then I will make a video on this topic. Because if this topic has worked for other creators then it will [10:13] You have to do the same thing with end thumbnails. But you can bring variation in thumbnail. Instead of Ditto, you copy someone's thumbnail. You can select a thumbnail that is already viral on another topic and adapt it to your topic. [10:26] improvement channel whose video has gone viral. And this is a tech channel whose video has gone viral. Now a new Stole the thumbnail from this video. As a result, he created some packaging like this. [10:39] And this video has also gone viral on YouTube. You have to do the same. Instead of running after uniqueness, if you After which you can show your uniqueness or work on it. This was a [10:53] framework. But this is a very detailed framework that I will probably share with you guys in the future. Right Mindset. Now if you see, you will have all the skills to become a YouTuber. There will be a channel and [11:08] you will also know which video will work on that channel. And believe me, this is all the technical knowledge required to become a successful YouTuber. But still people are not able to become YouTubers. Do you know why? It is not that they lack knowledge or [11:20] skills. What they lose out on is consistency and mindset. Nearly 70% of creators close their channel within 3 months because they do not see any results. And out of the remaining 30%, 10% [11:33] close their channel within a year. The reason is that they are not able to remain consistent. As a result, their views go down and they get demotivated and delete the channel. You can apply as many tactics as you want on YouTube and [11:46] see only those creators on top who were able to work hard and smart and that too consistently. Who knew why he started YouTube because he was he can become a YouTuber. I have been creating content on this channel for the past two years. That [11:59] too regularly. Every month four videos are uploaded on my channel. Even when things are going bad, videos. Do you think there have been no problems in my personal life in these two years n't I have had a mental breakdown? Wo [12:12] n't I have felt mental fog? I've had all this happen. And with time their frequency has increased in reverse. Because I have been doing the same exact work of flying daily for the last two years. But still I am making videos and uploading them also. The Only Reason [12:25] Is I Love What I Do. I enjoy sharing knowledge, I enjoy sharing experiences. I enjoy teaching people. That's why my consistency has never broken. As a result I am You can never win YouTube by running it like a sprint. This is a marathon [12:39] where stamina will win. I also made this mistake when I was running the automation channel in 2021-22. I wanted quick success and I got it too but I could I did not think like a creator but like a hustler who just wanted a side income. [12:53] It is 2026. And here you cannot treat YouTube as a side hustle. Because if you treat it like a side hustle, you'll come from someone who's And the mindset: Start working, improve your skills, understand the market and be [13:07] consistent.
