Starting Youtube in 2026? 10 Things You Should Know. My SMALL CHANNEL is finally monetized!

#smallcontentcreator #smallchannel #newcontentcreator #startingayoutubechannel #youtubemonetization #youtubepartner Today, I share with you 10 things you should know if you are starting a new YouTube channel or are thinking about starting one. I launched this channel to talk about budgeting and money tips and it pivoted to getting out of the rat race and retirement. This is a raw and honest conversation about getting to the 1,000 subscriber mark and 4,000 watch time hours to be a part of the Youtube Partner Program. This video summarizes strategies for managing a small channel and the realities of monetization. This is a very small channel and I am not an expert, but I did reach a milestone that many hope to achieve one day, and many others have already achieved.
