If your child somehow has the time and know-how to create their own channel (but let’s be honest: you’ll probably be helping quite a lot), they also need to realize that it can be a big investment.

While it’s true that several YouTubers film on their iPhones instead of a big DSLR (digital single-lens reflex camera, the kind that professional photographers use), if you want to get better view numbers, you’ll want high-quality sound, video, and editing. This means cameras, microphones, and software need to be purchased.

Remind your child that they can start small, with the phone they already have, using free editing software. If they start to see some return on their videos, they might be able to invest some money in better equipment.

In reality, filming is just a small percentage of the time you’ll spend making your YouTube videos. Before you can film, you need to set up your equipment and make sure any backdrop you’ll be using is right for the video. After filming, you’ll need to edit, which can take several hours depending on the length of your video and how much footage you need to go through. Then you’ve got to upload and market the video to attract viewers. When all is said and done, you’re nearly looking at a full-time job’s worth of time spent on being a YouTuber.

If becoming a YouTube star is your child’s latest dream, it’s important that they realize that it’s just like becoming a famous actor, a hit musician, or a star athlete; in other words, it takes a lot of time and practice.

Anyone who has started a YouTube channel can tell you that making content that stands out on today’s steady stream of YouTube videos is a time-consuming practice. No longer is filming just enough. Just standing around at the zoo in front of the elephants isn’t necessarily good enough to expect millions of views.
