Well, before you even create that account I have two things you need to do in order to find your own voice in the niche you want to talk about. First find the 10 best youtubers that are in the niche you are already in and watch their videos, see what they do well and what they do poorly and learn from them. Second do that same thing for 10 YouTube channels that you love. Why do you love? What can you learn from them? Do these two things and it will help you figure out what works, what doesn't work, and it can help you find your own voice in the niche you want to make videos in. <br/>Good luck fellow YouTuber! <br/>Filmed by Montego Bay, Jamaica<br/>Copyright Mark Wolters 2019<br/><br/>10 Ways You Can Help Your Favorite YouTuber FOR <a href='https://youtu.be/KYwWRFJiO84' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>FREE</a><br/><br/>Consumer Behavior is Hard to Figure <a href='https://youtu.be/FyH1BNWssR0' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Out</a><br/><br/>Grab some of the gear we use to film our Professor Wolters videos. <br/>Grab one of Professor Wolters shirts or other merchandise <a href='http://www.woltersworld.store' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>at</a><br/><br/>Microsoft Surface: We travel with a Microsoft Surface everywhere we go.
