so should you start a second channel on
YouTube in this video we'll be sharing
three tips to answer that coming up hey
what's up guys Sean here Benji here and
this is video influencers help you build
your influence income and impact with
online video and on this channel we have
weekly tips and tricks videos as well as
interviews with youtubers crushing it so
if you're new here consider subscribing
alright so Consumer Hero asks if I have
a main channel should I start a separate
vlog channel so we're going to answer
the question about starting a secre
separate vlog channel but also maybe
you're thinking about starting a second
channel about anything for all of the
influencer community we’ll share tips on
that as well and the first question you
really want to ask yourself when it
comes to vlogging is why do you want to
vlog so everyone knows Casey Neistat I
myself am a vlogger and vlogging has
become a big thing and it's easy to
get enticed into vlogging but you know
there's a lot of different reasons
people vlog obviously you know to
complement the current content you have
to become a vlogger to make more money
there's so many different things so the
first question you really want to ask is
will starting a second channel hurt your
main channel and what I mean is not hurt
the branding maybe nobody will ever know
about it but will it take your energy we
all have limited time limited energy and
so you know crushing it and breaking
through on YouTube is a challenge and so
you need to be putting out good quality
content if you start a second channel
you might dilute some of your creative
energy now you just want to consider
this maybe you still want to do it but
will it take your bandwidth per say away
from your main thing and really getting
impact with your first channel tip
number two will vlogging actually
complement your current content so what
I mean is this is going to be more for
the people that don't want to vlog every
day maybe vlog once a week once a month
can this content actually complement
what you're doing what I mean by this is
say you or a gardening channel you're
talking about growing tomatoes you're
talking about making soil for your
garden if you vlogge once a week
about your garden more
casual there wasn't like a searchable
title that you're trying to create a
video for that is going to complement
your channel are you going to just vlog
about your random life now there's no
right or wrong answer to this because a
lot of vloggers actually got big and
started vlogging about anything but you
are talking about something specific
first so really you just have to
consider is it something that's going to
complement your your current content and
if it's not you might want to consider a
second channel one hundred percent in an
example of that is the friend of ours
Amy we did an interview with her
recently she just started a Friday vlog
on her main channel so she thought about
it differently she was like I don't
wanna start a whole new channel all this
vlog once a week and experiment tip
number three is now the right time to
start a second channel and you know time
is very precious and if you already have
a day job and you're already doing this
on the side to start another channel is
going to take up a lot of time so this
is really important to consider before
just starting a new channel one hundred
percent and I think as creatives I know
if you're watching this you're creative
you probably get all kinds of ideas we
always have ideas but sometimes we need
to rein those in you know you can do
anything but you can't do everything and
so look at like the big picture of your
life maybe you really really want to
look you know do vlogging but could you
put it off a year or two to again get so
much breakthrough start earning income
off your main channel that actually
opens up some more time maybe you're
able to work with a team and then you
could start something later this is a
marathon this isn't a sprint and so
there's other project we want to do that
we might not launch for one two three
years we have to remember like we've got
more time than we think as far as
longevity but right now we don't want
we want to protect our focus so maybe
we're not going to say yes to everything
or launch something new because right
now isn't the right time the last thing
I want to mention about this topic is
vlogging in general becoming a vlogger
my wife and I are daily vloggers and the
way we became a vlogger is Judy was
creating videos around beauty for a years
and then her viewers really want to see
more behind-the-scenes stuff more about
her life so we started the daily
vlog same with so many creators Casey
Niestat was the same way and most of
the daily vloggers out there they have
something going on so I ask yourself do
you really want to become a vlogger
because what is the best route to
becoming a vlogger might be just focus
on your current content and then start a
second channel when you have an audience
that's established that sold on you that
trust you that wants to know more about
you and then you can migrate them over
to the second channel and that's the
best way I've seen it done in the past
few years absolutely and then one other
thing about maybe just having a second
channel just for like a creative outlet
my main focus is my channel Think media
TV where I do tech reviews my second
focus is the project that we work on
together video influencers this is like
Benji and my side hustle and that's our
priorities but then I also have a
channel that's just my Sean Cannell
channel and one of the nice things about
having a second channel is I don't feel
like it steals my energy I don't feel
like it feels my creativity I don't even
really focus on it but every once in a
while there's something that's totally
off brand for video influencers totally
off brands from think media TV and I
just want some place to put it and so
maybe you want to start a second channel
just so you can have a creative outlet
that's not going to steal from your main
brand but you could build it up over
time and even that channel has grown a
little by little and who knows maybe
someday it'll be something more question
of the day do you have a second channel
does it divide your attention and focus

that second channel post it in the
