it.

Instead of creating one video on one topic, why not think of a particular scene that you
can create a series of videos about?

After you create a series of videos, you can add them to an official playlist on your channel
so people, can binge watch your videos.

Instead of doing a tutorial type video, think about telling a story in your video so it
keeps people engaged all the way through your video.

Everyone in business or on YouTube has a story to tell about the ups and downs of creating
videos.
Therefore, there's a great opportunity for you to create videos about how you stay motivated
and inspired.

on YouTube.
