Tip #1 - Find a niche for your Youtube Channel

What do you know? I mean, what do you have knowledge about. A knack for, a passion for? What is that thing that you could talk about all day. That makes your voice raise when you're in a conversation about it with your friends.

There are multiple opinions about whether or not you should create your channel in a niche. However, if you want to earn money for this and make a true business out of being a content creator, having a niche is your best move.

It tells the Youtube algorithms what you are about and helps it find your target audience. Youtube viewers are smart. They know fluff when they hear it. Now, if your goal is to do a vlog or video journal or something like that, then fine. No niche.

If you want to be monitized and use Youtube as a source of income, you need to answer questions. No, not like comments from viewers, I mean your video or podcast needs to fulfill a need for a viewer.

Think about it...

When you go to Youtube, unless you are free-scrolling, you are searching for an answer to something you are trying to do and there are probably many videos on the same topic. Find your niche, something you can talk about allot and that will give you topic ideas for your videos.

Tip #2 - Set a Time (to work on your channel)

A key to start your Youtube channel at home while caring for your children is already in your hand.

You know how to care for your children and you know their schedules. Naptime, pickup time, meals etc. Fashion a set time that you can sit down work. To start a Youtube channel takes work. If it fluctuates based on your childrens needs, that's okay. Give yourself some flexibilty and grace for life's unexpected turns, but have a set time to return to.

Tip #3 - Create a Youtube Channel

You know you want to start a Youtube channel, but what will you feature? A podcast? Videos, Music? Youtube has it all. Once you know specifically what you want to create, create your youtube content in your set time.

Be innovative and creative. Put your flare on what you do. Even if someone else is covering the same topic you have, no one else has your flare.

Tip #5 - Consistently Post on Youtube.

Set realistic goals for yourself and keep them. Starting with one video a week until you establish a rhythm for posting is a good idea. It gives you the ability to get to know the ins-and-outs of the website and enjoy the process.

Don't put too much pressure on yourself to create too much too fast. This is the best way to start a Youtube channel and take care of your children. If you become over burdened, it will become more difficult and tip the balance of you caring for your children.
