Okay now let's talk about how to choose the topic and type of the channel.
It is a very very important thing to think about.
At the beginning of your channel journey at the very beginning at least very very close to the channel
creation because it is a bit more difficult to change it in the future and it will reset it may reset
the progress that you already done but it is not forbidden to change a topic and the type of the channel
a bit in the future but try to come up with a topic and to type at the very beginning or close to it
beginning.
For example if you go and upload 50 videos on a certain topic and type it then decided you don't want
this anymore.
Changing it will result in Alienation of your audience and it's better to have the topic and the and
of the channel at the very very beginning.
But first before we go talk about talking about what topics you choose what types to choose etc. Today
let's discuss sort of topic and the type of the channel actually means.
So let's go with the topic first.
So what is the topic of the channel.
Topic of the channel is what your channel is about and only YouTube.
This is usually called a niche niche is a very very narrow type of the topic basically.
For example is your channel about technology or is your channel about making money online or is your
channel about gaming or specific gaming.
So you need to understand that for example the channel about gaming is is a topic but it's not a niche.
It's a bit a bit of difference.
It's quite a big distinction because gaming is very were very broad sense.
In a sense it's a very very broad thing and just classifying a gaming as a topic is a bit more difficult
than it's classifying as a genre.
Gaming is more like a genre and then the topic.
So if you want to go with a gaming topic you can say that let's say strategy games is the topic or the
niche whatever you want to call it because it's a very very vague distinction like many people are calling
niche gaming a niche.
But in my opinion gaming is not a niche it's a genre and close to the topic.
So you need to choose something that you want you do that you want your channel is about for example
against strategy games of your water technology you're concentrating on Max maybe on Mac computers or
on Apple computers or you're concentrating on on iPhones or for example in if you go with one of my
channels I have one.
Well I have gaming channel as well which is more concentrated on sci fi and fantasy games and specifically
in that I am focusing more on modded games meaning that modding the games that are not made sci fi or
fantasy alike and transforming it into the fantasy life.
For example if I'll take it I'll take a strategy game but that is about a historical battles and transforming
it into the end and transforming into the Lord Of The Rings strategy.
It's something like that.
It is like making the topic and narrowing it down as much as possible.
And with this I find very very specific audience that will like my channel we're going to go about the
specific specificity vanishing down a bit later but you understand a topic that is as narrow as possible
you don't need to choose as broad as possible because choosing a broad topic or getting closer to genre
than just topic or niche will make it a bit harder because because the topic is way too big.
The people are the people are very very different in the genres.
Like it.
They're very very living within a single genre as well for a number of people in the gaming commission
are completely separate from like let's say the shooter.
The.
Niche is very very different from the strategy and you should if you're a Grimm making an FBI content
doesn't mean that people that like selling your games will like it.
So you make you understand this you need to go as narrow as and is as narrow as possible don't go quite
as narrow as possible go with a very very specific topic you can of course expand a bit later but at
first try to go with as narrow as top as possible and what's most importantly do make as content about
about a topic that you know don't go into these things that you don't understand.
But if you just want to know know always go to the topic that you know always 100 percent you need to
be expert in the field or at least you need to be closer to the expert because people need to come to
you for the knowledge or entertainment or whatever you do we're doing that will go to type in just a
few seconds but you need to know this things well.
B you need to know this things more than you viewer do for viewer to beat viewable.
If it's meta it makes sense of course.
Now let's switch to the type we're going to of course attended topically to in more an Intermediate
section and look we're going to return to topic more and more.
But let's switch to the type right now like type when you choose a topic you are choosing type only
after that you can choose the type beforehand but the topic is like a type is not the thing that you
know type is the thing how how you will give out your content how you create your content what type
of format your content will have.
And usually we have three main types of content.
They are not completely independent meaning that you create the one type of content you cannot create
a second one or you cannot merge two of them.
All three of them at that at once.
But if you want to have a distinction you can distinct you can differentiate the types of content into
three different types.
First is education meaning that this content is meant to like teach people what you are doing a in in
certain topic.
Second is entertainment.
You are just entertaining people and people who are should enjoy and have fun with the content.
And last but not least is information slash news content mean that you are talking about the stuff that
is happening right now and giving a news breakdown etc. etc..
Education entertainment content is more evergreen content many that they are active and they are watchable
for a really long time but usually have less views and informational content are usually active and
important at the moment of the recording they have they are very short live content but they gain a
lot of use as well.
But there is a bit more risk.
Again we're going to talk about the types and topics later but you need to know as a beginner that you
need to choose one of them concentrate on one of them first on one of the types of the content and then
you can spill out as as as you will learn as you will understand while your videos as you will understand
your strength and what you can do with your videos you can more spill out into the other types or you
can just merge all of them at the same time or do all of the videos at the same time just understand
that different types of content has different audiences as well.
Even within the same very narrow niche even within the same very narrow niche different types of content
have different audiences so if you'll create one type of audience in a one very narrow news you will
get very very specific audience.
It is very very very great thing to have so this will be it for the topic and type you don't need to
need to know more than this.
At the same time and let's just get to the another lecture.
