Honestly a solid video to make no matter what your niche is....drum roll please...... a tutorial!

Yes the old tried and tested trusty tutorial is a great first video to put on your channel for a few reasons. Firstly if the tutorial is you showing how to do something or fix something for example you are exchanging value with the viewer by giving them valuable information to complete a tasks. Which is a great first impression as you are delivering value to your audiance versus the classic thing most people do who are new to YouTube and just throw up a video telling the world about themselves or the classic in gaming is doing a lets play (dont worry i feel for this the first time i started YouTube too!) .... unfortunately nobody cares who you are.... until you give them that value!

Also if the topic of your tutorial is in demand or maybe not been resolved yet on YouTube you have a great traffic source right off the bat as people will be searching for the solution which you are providing. This is a huge bonus as getting traffic as a new channel can be tough!

Not only is this search traffic great because it will bring new viewers to your channel, but most tutorials can be evergreen, by that i mean it will pull in views for a long time, which allows you to grow your viewership and audience over a longer period of time from just one video!

A good tutorial video can be super simple to shoot and may not even need any editing as you see many tutorial videos on YouTube which are shot on the creators phone in one take and then uploaded to YouTube which then pull in tons of views! So there is a low barrier to entry for new creators who are just starting off with YouTube and are not upto speed with editing, thumbnails, tags etc etc which is why I think a tutorial video is thee place to start if your new to YouTube!

Make it controversial and skip parts so the viewer get mad at you. Here for example i show 60 seconds Mayo. 1,8 Views and to much comments xD So if you get enough views in the beginning google will pick it up for you.

For me a Resturant should do most of the stuff from scratch.

Didn´t knew what happend and got flooded by comments :P These are my cherrys from the comment section:

  • raw egg gives you salmonella (a lot of people believe this)

  • raw egg is forbidden by Law in Germany (HACCP)

  • You wouldn´t pay extra

  • You missing the Herbs and Vinegar

  • Wait, there is so much oil in it?

And remember everybody on the Internet is an Expert in everything, be kind :)

If you are starting out, a simple who are you, what you do, what you are about, what you are trying to achieve, your background, and what you want to get out of content creation is a sure fire way to start. It also allows you to reference back to that piece for anyone that wants to know about you or answers to any of those questions! Be prepared for it to get next to zero likes, no watches, and just disappear into the ether. It won't be until you establish yourselves as a content creator that people will then start to stumble onto it.

Your first video might not even get (many) views when you first upload it, people might only find it once your channel gets more popular and picked up by the algorithm, so no matter what type of content you want to do, make sure that even your first video is the quality you would proud of later. Show your passion and skills, and of course you will improve through the years, but you must be able to look at that first video years later and still smile.

If you have a specific idea for your channel you could make a little introduction video where you tell your viewers what you will be doing, what kind of content they will find on your channel. Kind of like a trailer to movie, which has the purpose of getting people excited for what's to come.

If you will be doing guides, reviews or game walk-through you don't really have to overthink it. Made a guide for a fight? Upload it. Got that first time walk-through? Upload it. Got a new hardware and what to share with people why you love it? Upload it. Then keep building on that first piece of content.

If you have a design idea for your brand it's good if you can already put your logo, overlays, text on your first video so whenever Youtube recommends your content to someone, they'll recognize it from your branding.

While many people want to experiment a lot with their sector of YouTube at first, having your first several videos all on the same topic or overall niche helps immensely, so make sure it's about something you want to stick with, which really just depends on your genre. Also go all out on quality from the very start with whatever equipment you have at your disposal, even buy some more starter equipment if you want to be serious about it. YouTube is so difficult to grow on nowadays that I'd say either go all-in, or not at all, and your first video should reflect that, showcasing everything you can do right out of the gate.
