Channel decoration

You can design the channel yourself, or you can contact a freelancer who will design your channel based on your preferences. The design should match the theme of your channel.

Content plan

It's worth thinking about creating a content plan in advance. It is best to draw it up at least six months in advance, or at least for several months. Plan on which days of the week you will be filming videos, on which days you will edit them, and on which days you will post videos on the channel.

It is best to post them on specific days. You also need to indicate on what day, what exactly you will be shooting. And also come up with a title and description for the videos. It will be much easier and more convenient to work this way.

Come up with a script in advance for shooting videos. This will help you shoot an interesting video and not miss anything important when shooting.

When creating your channel, you should also be prepared for the fact that there will be people among the users who will write negative comments. How to deal with them: First, there is no need to conduct a dialogue in an aggressive manner. Try to enter into a dialogue with them and sort it out peacefully. In no case should you switch to foul language and insults.
