If I were starting a YouTube channel in 2025 from scratch, this is the exact blueprint I’d follow — based on growing my own channel to nearly 1 million subscribers.

In this video, I walk you through my full YouTube channel strategy, including how to start a YouTube channel in 2025, how to grow on YouTube, and the YouTube growth tips I wish I had known sooner.

Whether you’re starting a YouTube channel from scratch or looking to finally gain traction, I’ll share everything from choosing your niche (without boxing yourself in) to crafting your YouTube content plan, scripting your first YouTube video ideas, and designing your posting schedule to avoid burnout.

You’ll also learn how the YouTube algorithm works, how to boost your click-through rate, and how to hook viewers to increase watch time. I’ll even show you how to use AI for content creation, find your content pillars, and develop your YouTube channel blueprint — so you’re not just creating content, but building a brand.

This video is especially for YouTube beginners in 2025 who want to create content that’s sustainable, impactful, and profitable. I’ll also touch on YouTube editing tips, what makes a strong hook, and how to approach YouTube monetization in 2025.
