Wow, this looks like a very detailed article. Thank you for sharing this. I agree with you in many ways. I also have a small YouTube channel where I post my videos. When I started I had almost no experience in this field. I was asked to contact the digital agency newcastle, and after that I realized that without advertising on the Internet, it is very difficult to rise higher in the list, no matter how good your videos are. Yes, perhaps at a high level it becomes less necessary, but at the beginning of the path it is necessary.

Hey, first of all you need a good a good setup. Upgrade your pc and buy qualitative devices. Furthermore, u will need good software. For video editing I would recommend using Movavi - https://www.movavi.com/ . In case you are using MacOS - use Imovie. They both are similar to each over and are great in use
