So, You Want To Make A You Tube Video Anyone can cook,well most of us can. You dont need any special skills but practice makes it perfect. I finally mastered Carrot Cake and you say well thats easy but really it isn't as easy as one might think. The trick to making it moist so it doesn't dry out even in the fridge is the pineapple. Use a can of pineapple chunks,drain the juice then put the chunks in a food processor and whirl it around about 5 seconds then add it all in your cake and dont forget 1 tsp. ground cloves. The clove gives it a tiny bite and the home made crushed pineapple gives it the right moisture. My recipe calls for 3/4 cup but the whole can of chunks comes out more...dont sweat it. The cake will remain moist while you carve one it for a week and cream cheese frosting adds a nice touch but there tons of sugar in it so i choose to not frost mine except for my birthday. When you make a video give an intro and make your individual shots,add dialog and dont rush. I am monetized and when YT says longer than 8 minutes they should say 9 minutes minimum and that way you can be safe. Dont use foul language and dont tell any jokes. Make sure its all original content and remember it has to be family friendly. The video should be 10 minutes or longer and using a video editor does take some practice. Create a thumbnail with Canva (free edition) Practice with pictures and text and use a template to snazz it up. Tags are keywords that people type in to get video suggestions. You can add a subscribe button at the end of your video with another video to watch. Be patient and practice....But just be you and not some phony baloney persona. Be as real as you can and perhaps your channel will get noticed but dont let yourself get in a down mood...Ive had many channels on YT since 2010 and now in 2025 i have success. Use the video camera on your phone and get a tripod with phone attachment. Basic lighting is all you need and always clean your kitchen beforehand. Original content is everything. Peace, BigT
