I was just on stream for the last three hours and didn’t realize I had a double audio glitch happening the whole time. Should I unlist, private, or leave this video public? Not sure how this could affect my channel as a whole…
What’s going on everyone! This is an intro post about me, the channel I started, and if there’s anyone reading this that hasn’t started a channel yet. Here’s hopefully a little motivation to start!
So I just started posting on YouTube and I don’t know how to grow a channel. I’m posting on here because I want to reach somebody that is interested in starting one themselves even if they don’t have a following AT ALL. Over half my subscribers are my friends and family. However, I have slowly been growing by a follower or two every week in the past month or so.
I started in early 2026 after YEARS of contemplating whether to start posting or not. I decided to finally bite the bullet and just click record. I started with recording off of my PlayStation, editing on my PlayStation, and even posting from my PlayStation. Full games, no cuts, no commentary. Just the gameplay. The more I posted the more into it I got. Seeing the viewers go from 5 to 20 to 50 to 100 kept me coming back. I’ve never had a viral video but every now and then I get someone to comment, tune into a stream, or even subscribe which excites me every day.
I just got the idea to buy an Elgato capture card and have considered buying a microphone to get better stream/video quality but am waiting on the microphone for a bit until I have the money to buy one. I don’t plan to make a career out of this but you truly never know what can happen. To this I say, start posting your content if you want to. There’s nothing stopping you, and no reason you can’t start today. If you read this, I hope this encourages you to start what has always been in the back of your mind.
Start today.
