How do I get a good view of what I'm recording?

Make sure there is plenty of light when filming. At night, use a bright light from an angle that looks the best, but make sure viewers can tell it’s night.

Question

I recently started my own YouTube channel where I do toy reviews, doll hair makeovers, and stories. How do you think I could make it more popular? I'm not sure how to edit my channel art.

Spy Queen101

Community Answer

If you want to edit your channel art, you need a computer and it should say it on your home page. If you want to make it more popular, then post it on safe social media sites. You can also post a sub 4 sub, which means you sub to their channel and they sub to yours! If you don't use social media, then give it some time and ask your viewer what content they want. Remember if you don't like what they want, you'd not have to do that. It is your option.

It depends on his computer. If he has a Macbook, Garageband is best, and if he has a Windows computer, he should download Audacity.
