please help me

about me
I am a content creator. I make travel vlogs and talk on camera about different topics. I have good experience creating content, but in my regional language.

Now for my job, I moved to another country and thought of starting a channel in English. I also want to be more authentic now, not just create for the sake of it.

Why I’m Considering English Content

  • better monetization rates
  • my English will improve
  • maybe I can reach a global audience with bigger potential

problems with english content

  • I am not a native English speaker. My English is average. I can communicate, but it’s hard to express feelings because I don’t have enough vocabulary
  • sometimes I feel I can’t be fully authentic
  • but I also feel maybe I can be authentic even with bad English, and people might like that

positive side of my native language channel

  • I can be fully authentic and natural
  • it’s much easier for me to create

problems with regional content

  • smaller audience
  • lower monetization
  • less global exposure compared to English

what I did
I created a new English channel, so now I have two channels.
My plan was:

  • main content in English
  • regional channel with simple edits and voiceover (since it’s easier for me)

But this feels like almost double work.

my confusion
I might be overthinking, but I need help.

In the long term, AI translation is getting better. So should I:

  • create authentic videos in Marathi and then use AI to translate into English or
  • focus on building an English-first channel
