Positioning in one sentence
Define who the channel is for and the outcome you deliver. That sentence should appear in titles, About, and pinned comments so algorithms and humans align on relevance.
Cadence you can keep
Pick a weekly rhythm you can sustain for 90 days. Measure uploads per month and views per video together—spikes without baseline quality rarely compound.
Practical tips
- Batch thumbnail templates to reduce decision fatigue.
- Review top 10 videos quarterly and clone structural wins, not topics blindly.
FAQ
- Should I niche down?
- Usually yes until you have clear traction. Broad channels need more inventory to train recommendations.
