Finally Working Properly on a YouTube Channel

I've had a YouTube channel for many years and never really worked on it properly, so watch this space, as I am getting serious about it now. As with anything, it's always best to work on things you know about rather than things you don't, but post about anyway just because you think they'll prove to be popular.

My channel will focus on nature and popular culture, and I'll post links to a few examples of my content below. So, expect videos of birds, insects, flowers, football, music, classic TV, films and books.

I'll come back later and post about what strategies have worked for me, and what haven't. One popular tip though seems to be when you upload a video to YouTube is to not make it available to the public for 24-48 hours. This gives YouTube time to analyse the content and make it visible for an audience that is more likely to be responsive.
