Tips to create a Gaming Channel on YouTube

If you’re a big fan of gaming content, then you probably already know that there are a lot of

YouTube gaming channels out there. Maybe you’ve followed them to beat tricky stages or

levels. Maybe you’ve watched reviews to see if you should check out a new game that
you’ve been wondering about. Maybe you’ve watched them just for fun.

Whatever your reason for tuning in, you know that you’re not the only person online who
wants to make or watch gaming videos on YouTube.

You know that there’s an audience for the kinds of videos you want to create, and you know

that you have a lot to contribute as a YouTube gamer. That’s awesome! As you make a
YouTube gaming channel and begin your journey, keep these five things in mind:

 Create a Unique Experience for Your Gaming Videos

First of all, you don’t just have to create a gaming channel with a bunch of videos of you

playing through games without commentary or any input. These might be useful to a lot of
viewers, but they don’t really give your viewers any particular reason to choose one of your

videos over any other play-through video.

Take some time to add your own personal spin to your videos. Let your personality shine

through to give your content a unique vibe. Provide viewers with a reason to choose your

content, and make them look forward to seeing new gaming videos from you.

 See It as a Marathon and Not a Sprint

Next, as you make a YouTube gaming channel, remember that you’re probably not going to

get a huge following overnight. You’re not going to put up just a couple of gaming videos
and miraculously get millions of viewers. Expecting that is like taking off to run a marathon
