  • Question
    What can I do for my first video?
    Community Answer
    Do what you do best and want to show to the world right from the beginning. For example, if you suck at cracking jokes or aren't interested in doing crazy science experiments, don't make a video using these elements. But, say you are a good skateboarder; then show the world some great skateboarding moves. Show your true passion and talent from video number one, and wow people with your excitement, knowledge, and skills so they'll keep returning to you for more. Do an introduction to your world, explain who you are and what you like to do, tell your viewers what you hope to achieve with your channel, and what videos to expect. Keep them interested, but remember, everyone has to start somewhere. You may look back at your first video and cringe, but it will be nice to see how far you've come!
