Making videos for YouTube is easier than you think — you just need the right plan + tools + consistency. Let’s go step-by-step 👇
🎬 STEP 1: Plan Your Content
Decide what your channel is about:

Example:
Topic: Stock market basics
Video ideas: “How to take your first trade,” “Top 5 beginner mistakes,” “Simple intraday strategy.”
🎥 STEP 2: Prepare Your Script & Setup
A. Write a Script/Outline
- Intro → Main content → Outro (call to action)
- Example:
- “Hi guys, welcome to my channel…”
- “Today I’ll show you how to take your first trade in the stock market…”
