How to Start a YouTube Channel Today

Welcome to How to Start a YouTube Channel Today event! Join us at Somerville Music Spaces on October 11, 2025 at 1:00 PM (Eastern Time) to learn all about creating your own YouTube channel. In this 6-hour hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to start a YouTube channel using the gear you already own. We’ll cover filming, editing, livestreaming, shorts vs. long-form, and how creators actually make money without needing a million followers. By the end, you’ll have recorded, edited, and published your first video—and leave with a 30-day content plan. Limited to 25 participants for personal attention.
