Starting a YouTube channel in 2025 is like entering a bustling Lagos market on a Saturday morning. It's vibrant, full of potential, but can also be overwhelming. You’ve got dreams of making it big, but where do you start? Don’t worry, 7hubent Tech has got your back. We’ll guide you through the seven essential steps to kickstart your YouTube journey, infused with a bit of Naija flair and a sprinkle of satire.
1. Define Your Niche: Na Who You Be?
Before you start recording, ask yourself, “What do I want to talk about?” Whether it's fashion, tech reviews, or even Lagos street food, find your unique voice. Be like Mama Ngozi in the market; she's known for the best jollof spices because she sticks to her niche. Define what makes your content special and stick to it.
Pro Tip: Make your niche clear in your channel description. People need to know what they're signing up for.
2. Get the Right Equipment: Shine Your Eye
You don't need the latest iPhone or a DSLR to start. A decent smartphone, good lighting, and clear audio are enough to make your videos pop. Think of it as preparing for a wedding party; you don't need to break the bank, but you need to look presentable.
Personal Story: When I started my tech review channel, I used my cousin’s old Android phone. It wasn’t perfect, but it got the job done until I could afford better equipment. Start with what you have and improve as you grow.

Editing can make or break your video. You don’t have to be a professional editor, but learning basic editing skills can help polish your content. Use free tools like DaVinci Resolve or even mobile apps like InShot to start.
Tip: Keep your edits simple. Overdoing it can be like putting too much pepper in the soup – it distracts from the main dish.
5. Optimize Your Titles and Thumbnails: Catch Their Eye
Your video title and thumbnail are the first things people see. Make them catchy, intriguing, and relevant. Think of it as dressing up for an event. You want to turn heads and make people curious enough to engage.
SEO Tip: Use long-tail keywords in your titles. For instance, instead of "Vlog," try "A Day in the Life of a Lagos Entrepreneur."
