The Ultimate Guide To Creating A Successful YouTube Gaming Channel

In this class, you will learn how to create and manage a successful gaming channel. The class will be taught by a YouTuber with several YouTube channels all varying in size.

Experience

You do not need any previous experience in this area. I'm sure you all know what YouTube is but even if you don't, I will take you through the basics of creating a new YouTube channel, uploading channel art and planning your videos. The course will eventually guide you through more complex topics such as keyword research, editing, and creating thumbnails.

Equipment

You will need equipment. At the very least, you will either need OBS to record games on PC or a capture card to record games on a console, a mic and software such as Movie Maker or Davinci resolve to edit videos, audacity to record your voice, and GIMP to create thumbnails. This is the bare minimum you need to create to create appealing content that entices viewers to click.
