Many amongst use aspire to be a Youtuber and make passive income from our skills. In this video, I help you understand the steps in takes to become an Influencer. Infact, becoming a Youtuber and content creator happened accidentally to me and I shall chronicle my first 100 days of it. More specifically, I will be sharing:
a) a tour of my studio
b) some stats on how my Youtube channel has performed
c) my video niche-selection process
d) how I structure my video content
e) monetization opportunities on Youtube & beyond
etc.

👉 Here’s the equipment I use when creating these videos. I have bought and tried all these and have not faced any issues so far and none of it has been under-utilised.

The above are affiliate links. Means, you won’t have to pay anything extra when purchasing it and I’ll make a small commission by introducing you to these products. I’ll appreciate it if you can buy through these links

10. The next item is the camera .. and (surprise!) I don’t own a camera. My videographer gets his high-end camera (worth almost 2 lakhs) and charges me rent for that. His suggestion is: don’t purchase a camera online and check out the options at a camera shop. The shopowner can explain things better and pls note: different cameras show different types of colours. The other option (and recommended one) is for you to hire a videographer for your first 3-4 shoots & learn the ropes. I shoot an average of 3 videos per recording day which cost me approx. 2.5k per video

So these are the different parts of the infrastructure leg. The rest is upto you i.e. your title selection, your thumbnails, research, script, presentation, upload, description, commenting, community engagement .. and most importantly, managing your time and stress levels.

I have spent enough years, set aside days, on YouTube as a content consumer and mostly as a platform to learn. Having seen so many finance YouTubers who lack the quality of content, you are worth every second spent on the video as a content consumer. As a consumer every second spend on the platform is what we get to the table and most content creators do not value that. I have never seen you do that and wish you the best to continue to give us great content It's a delight to watch your videos. 👍

I have worked for 20 years in different companies across different functions .. and having tried it all, I can firmly say that content creation is my toughest assignment ever. So may I request, the next time you dislike a video or write a disrespectful/critical comment - please give a thought to the person who has put together the content. Infact I’m reminded of an African concept called Ubuntu .. maybe I’ll write about it in a community post

Wishing you the very best in your content creation journey!

[ubedulla]

Sir Mark my words one day you will surpass 1 million subscribers & that day is not to far, this is a Hard time for finance creators as the markets are depleting & interest from viewers has come down gradually, once the bull run starts your will become big bull. I believe you are adding value to journey of novice as well as experienced investors.

[anilsood]

Congrats for completing 100 days, good luck. I have been watching your videos from day one. I fall in the learners category and half the videos go over my head and this is the only reason I do not comment on every video. But once again, I really appreciate your replying me each and every time I have a question. So thank you and keep the learners category also, like me, in your stride.

[jrpskumar]

Nice Shankar! Wishing you lots of success, you deserve it!
