Default I started a youtube channel

Hey guys about 6 months ago I started on ssri's for general anxiety disorder since then my life has had many positive changes and one thing that completely changed is the voice in my head that tells me not to do things has been completely silenced.

So last month I started a youtube channel I have been keeping it pretty secret from people I know, but as I have seen it grow and the positive feedback I have been receiving it has slowly allowed me to bring down my guard and include friends in my channel. As I consider many of you guys friends I would like to share my channel with you and like any feedback you may have it is a roblox channel it is family friendly but also I am learning as I go. I want to be a positive influence on youtube as well as fun

I just started editing videos when I started this channel and quickly realized it is a hobby that I never realized I needed, anyways sorry for the wall of text
TLDR: hello I started a youtube channel check it out and let me know what you think! the channel name is robobloxYT1

I've been streaming for just under a year now and YT for ~4 months. Be very careful with content creation and mental health, while it may seem like it's helpful, I've seen it do alot of damage. I personally have experienced a lot of trauma dumping in my channel at the end of summer and had to put up rules against it.

I've also seen people develop alot of unhealthy habits with alcohol/streaming and a couple really bad parasocial relationships with female streamers.

On top of that the work required, make sure you set boundaries and goals that are healthy for you.

If you find the right balance for you, it is an amazing fun hobby or career.

I had that the other day when I started posting on YT as well; had it on Reddit the other day with a meme I posted. Advice I keep on seeing is just experiment for the first 50-100 videos.

I've been thinking about creating content as well and uploading. I've been trying to come up with ideas for content and do have one idea I plan on pursuing. I may record a few episodes before I start uploading and see how it goes. Most of the youtubers I follow are pretty regular people and they're doing content they're passionate about or their work.

Good stuff.

Just find your 'content niche' and go.

You never know where it leads.

I'll be doing the same for psychological & spiritual content. Very excited to do it.

Congrats on getting your channel going!

Question about editing videos. Do you just use the editing software on Youtubes's backend or something else?
Was it challenging to learn that part of things?

You should take a look at Davinci Resolve, their free version is amazing basically Adobe After Effects + Premiere + Audition + the best colour grader on the market all rolled into one for free. They have a paid version, but you only need that for triple monitors and some advanced effects or really high resolutions.

Yeah I am so amazed that davinchi resolve gives so much for free truly an amazing program, definitely glad I took the time to learn it. If finances ever get better I will definitely buy the full version just to support the company

While I'm getting it for the 3rd monitor features (eventually), I would get it just to support the company. Black Magic Design is huge in the cinematic industry they aren't a small company that might go away.
