1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:05,730
Okay now let's talk about how to choose the topic and type of the channel.

2
00:00:05,730 --> 00:00:09,000
It is a very very important thing to think about.

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,720
At the beginning of your channel journey at the very beginning at least very very close to the channel

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:22,920
creation because it is a bit more difficult to change it in the future and it will reset it may reset

5
00:00:23,430 --> 00:00:29,190
the progress that you already done but it is not forbidden to change a topic and the type of the channel

6
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:36,920
a bit in the future but try to come up with a topic and to type at the very beginning or close to it

7
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:37,430
beginning.

8
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,930
For example if you go and upload 50 videos on a certain topic and type it then decided you don't want

9
00:00:42,930 --> 00:00:43,790
this anymore.

10
00:00:43,860 --> 00:00:52,910
Changing it will result in Alienation of your audience and it's better to have the topic and the and

11
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:54,980
of the channel at the very very beginning.

12
00:00:54,990 --> 00:01:01,050
But first before we go talk about talking about what topics you choose what types to choose etc. Today

13
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:06,150
let's discuss sort of topic and the type of the channel actually means.

14
00:01:06,150 --> 00:01:08,440
So let's go with the topic first.

15
00:01:08,730 --> 00:01:11,240
So what is the topic of the channel.

16
00:01:11,250 --> 00:01:17,470
Topic of the channel is what your channel is about and only YouTube.

17
00:01:17,490 --> 00:01:24,850
This is usually called a niche niche is a very very narrow type of the topic basically.

18
00:01:25,170 --> 00:01:31,560
For example is your channel about technology or is your channel about making money online or is your

19
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,920
channel about gaming or specific gaming.

20
00:01:35,010 --> 00:01:43,650
So you need to understand that for example the channel about gaming is is a topic but it's not a niche.

21
00:01:43,850 --> 00:01:46,160
It's a bit a bit of difference.

22
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:53,650
It's quite a big distinction because gaming is very were very broad sense.

23
00:01:53,730 --> 00:02:02,400
In a sense it's a very very broad thing and just classifying a gaming as a topic is a bit more difficult

24
00:02:02,780 --> 00:02:05,130
than it's classifying as a genre.

25
00:02:05,130 --> 00:02:08,120
Gaming is more like a genre and then the topic.

26
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:15,240
So if you want to go with a gaming topic you can say that let's say strategy games is the topic or the

27
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:20,540
niche whatever you want to call it because it's a very very vague distinction like many people are calling

28
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:22,590
niche gaming a niche.

29
00:02:22,590 --> 00:02:27,060
But in my opinion gaming is not a niche it's a genre and close to the topic.

30
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:34,680
So you need to choose something that you want you do that you want your channel is about for example

31
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:40,200
against strategy games of your water technology you're concentrating on Max maybe on Mac computers or

32
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:47,130
on Apple computers or you're concentrating on on iPhones or for example in if you go with one of my

33
00:02:47,130 --> 00:02:48,010
channels I have one.

34
00:02:48,010 --> 00:02:56,580
Well I have gaming channel as well which is more concentrated on sci fi and fantasy games and specifically

35
00:02:56,580 --> 00:03:05,130
in that I am focusing more on modded games meaning that modding the games that are not made sci fi or

36
00:03:05,130 --> 00:03:08,500
fantasy alike and transforming it into the fantasy life.

37
00:03:08,510 --> 00:03:17,160
For example if I'll take it I'll take a strategy game but that is about a historical battles and transforming

38
00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:22,420
it into the end and transforming into the Lord Of The Rings strategy.

39
00:03:22,460 --> 00:03:23,460
It's something like that.

40
00:03:23,460 --> 00:03:29,960
It is like making the topic and narrowing it down as much as possible.

41
00:03:29,970 --> 00:03:37,290
And with this I find very very specific audience that will like my channel we're going to go about the

42
00:03:37,290 --> 00:03:43,950
specific specificity vanishing down a bit later but you understand a topic that is as narrow as possible

43
00:03:43,950 --> 00:03:50,930
you don't need to choose as broad as possible because choosing a broad topic or getting closer to genre

44
00:03:50,970 --> 00:03:57,760
than just topic or niche will make it a bit harder because because the topic is way too big.

45
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,960
The people are the people are very very different in the genres.

46
00:04:01,990 --> 00:04:02,640
Like it.

47
00:04:02,650 --> 00:04:07,740
They're very very living within a single genre as well for a number of people in the gaming commission

48
00:04:08,100 --> 00:04:11,600
are completely separate from like let's say the shooter.

49
00:04:11,620 --> 00:04:12,280
The.

50
00:04:12,810 --> 00:04:17,580
Niche is very very different from the strategy and you should if you're a Grimm making an FBI content

51
00:04:17,580 --> 00:04:20,280
doesn't mean that people that like selling your games will like it.

52
00:04:20,280 --> 00:04:27,270
So you make you understand this you need to go as narrow as and is as narrow as possible don't go quite

53
00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:33,600
as narrow as possible go with a very very specific topic you can of course expand a bit later but at

54
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:41,970
first try to go with as narrow as top as possible and what's most importantly do make as content about

55
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,680
about a topic that you know don't go into these things that you don't understand.

56
00:04:46,710 --> 00:04:56,730
But if you just want to know know always go to the topic that you know always 100 percent you need to

57
00:04:56,730 --> 00:05:02,850
be expert in the field or at least you need to be closer to the expert because people need to come to

58
00:05:02,850 --> 00:05:09,360
you for the knowledge or entertainment or whatever you do we're doing that will go to type in just a

59
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:14,440
few seconds but you need to know this things well.

60
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:20,090
B you need to know this things more than you viewer do for viewer to beat viewable.

61
00:05:20,130 --> 00:05:21,840
If it's meta it makes sense of course.

62
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:26,730
Now let's switch to the type we're going to of course attended topically to in more an Intermediate

63
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,690
section and look we're going to return to topic more and more.

64
00:05:30,690 --> 00:05:37,170
But let's switch to the type right now like type when you choose a topic you are choosing type only

65
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:42,930
after that you can choose the type beforehand but the topic is like a type is not the thing that you

66
00:05:42,930 --> 00:05:49,770
know type is the thing how how you will give out your content how you create your content what type

67
00:05:49,770 --> 00:05:52,080
of format your content will have.

68
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:55,880
And usually we have three main types of content.

69
00:05:56,040 --> 00:06:01,260
They are not completely independent meaning that you create the one type of content you cannot create

70
00:06:01,260 --> 00:06:04,110
a second one or you cannot merge two of them.

71
00:06:04,110 --> 00:06:05,990
All three of them at that at once.

72
00:06:06,060 --> 00:06:12,780
But if you want to have a distinction you can distinct you can differentiate the types of content into

73
00:06:12,780 --> 00:06:14,580
three different types.

74
00:06:14,580 --> 00:06:23,420
First is education meaning that this content is meant to like teach people what you are doing a in in

75
00:06:23,430 --> 00:06:24,360
certain topic.

76
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,540
Second is entertainment.

77
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,630
You are just entertaining people and people who are should enjoy and have fun with the content.

78
00:06:30,630 --> 00:06:36,420
And last but not least is information slash news content mean that you are talking about the stuff that

79
00:06:36,420 --> 00:06:40,330
is happening right now and giving a news breakdown etc. etc..

80
00:06:40,500 --> 00:06:48,120
Education entertainment content is more evergreen content many that they are active and they are watchable

81
00:06:49,020 --> 00:06:55,590
for a really long time but usually have less views and informational content are usually active and

82
00:06:55,590 --> 00:07:00,750
important at the moment of the recording they have they are very short live content but they gain a

83
00:07:00,750 --> 00:07:02,750
lot of use as well.

84
00:07:02,790 --> 00:07:04,170
But there is a bit more risk.

85
00:07:04,170 --> 00:07:10,140
Again we're going to talk about the types and topics later but you need to know as a beginner that you

86
00:07:10,140 --> 00:07:16,500
need to choose one of them concentrate on one of them first on one of the types of the content and then

87
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:21,780
you can spill out as as as you will learn as you will understand while your videos as you will understand

88
00:07:21,780 --> 00:07:26,640
your strength and what you can do with your videos you can more spill out into the other types or you

89
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:32,250
can just merge all of them at the same time or do all of the videos at the same time just understand

90
00:07:32,250 --> 00:07:35,880
that different types of content has different audiences as well.

91
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:43,710
Even within the same very narrow niche even within the same very narrow niche different types of content

92
00:07:43,710 --> 00:07:49,530
have different audiences so if you'll create one type of audience in a one very narrow news you will

93
00:07:49,530 --> 00:07:52,550
get very very specific audience.

94
00:07:52,650 --> 00:07:58,770
It is very very very great thing to have so this will be it for the topic and type you don't need to

95
00:07:59,010 --> 00:08:01,440
need to know more than this.

96
00:08:01,530 --> 00:08:03,870
At the same time and let's just get to the another lecture.
