Anyone have a YouTube channel?

I have been singing as a hobby for 30 years. Ive done karaoke bars, because often Im up there with a friend. I get anxiety completely alone. I will sing a solo in the song, but have never done a full song alone.
I have posted songs here at SW and it gave less anxiety because Im not in front of a crowd. Everyone was so kind!! I was thinking of possibly starting a YouTube channel, with me singing a few fave tunes of mine.

I am not sure though..opening up to millions is also anxiety producing. 🎤😟But I could TRULY use a form of revenue at this point too. Anyone here know if it is a decent way to not only share with others but possibly make a few dollars? I know my neighbor does pretty well there, but I dont know any deets.

I made one just so I could share videos with people on SW. Of course YouTube is open to the world, but I disabled comments so nobody can bother me there. I seldom visit or log on anyway.

Setting it up is easy. All you need is a Google Account. I already had a Google account that I set up for my smartphone. I made a new Google Account for SW, then set up a channel and started uploading videos. See here:

I have never tried to make money off it, though. I do not know how, anyway. Everything I have posted on there I have linked to in at least one SW post, and it is all free on SW.

Honestly, Tik Tok is where the singers are right now. Youtube has stuff too and its worth just looking at what other people are doing though.

I have a channel I upload my own music to. I don't know how to make money off it but it's just purely a hobby anyways

Good luck to you

I once had a youtube channel until it got shut down by some moderators but you have to be careful what you post, some topics are too liberal and they may red flag it. Three red flags and it's deleted. Just a few pointers. It is a lot of fun and you reach many. People around the world will experience your creative side. Good luck

@SW-User oh what type of channel was it, music, podcast, etc?
SW-User
@Coralmist Mostly true crime, it had a bit of many elements. Collaborated with another person but the folks at youtube didn't much care for what I was doing. It was fun while it lasted, definitely was a learning experience

@SW-User but tik tok is a lot of fun too. It just depends on your preference and wht you are comfortable with

I haven't got one but im thinking it could be good in away for your anxiety as you not really performing in front of others you doing it in private.

If you get on and friends or friendly with your neighbour who has a channel ask them for help and advice.

I definitely think you should give it a go

I do but not anything professional. Just random videos time to time for fun.

I would love to hear you sing if its anything like your character it will be excellent
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@Banksy83 Appreciate that🌿

I have one. I don't make any money from it though. But I still like to upload music cause I think the whole thing is fun.
I'd say go for it

@DDonde How does it work in terms of possible revenue?
DDonde · 31-35, M
@Coralmist You have to have at least 1000 subscribers before revenue kicks in

I have one where i publish videos of my singing.

It's never happened for me, but I'm not particularly trying. I would think IG or Tik Tok would be a better platform.

I have three, but none of them are monetized.
