If this is in the wrong place, feel free to move it!
So I'm in the middle of writing a script for a youtube channel I will beginning in the very near future.
I'm confident enough in my understanding of marketing to feel that I can hit the ground running at the beginning and keep the flow steady.
My eventual, long term goal is to become a public speaker, and building this channel up will be a means of cultivating reputation and credibility (only 22, so I think starting now will be hugely beneficial to me).
The channel will primarily focus on self actualization, lifestyle, and what it takes to become a stronger, better, more prepared person. I know I'm young and have very limited life experience myself, but I truly believe this is something I'm great at and have a knack for.. but here's my biggest concern:
I don't want to be a guru.
I don't want to just spout overly generalized advice that can be applied to a multitude of situations, I wan't the things I say and discuss to have practical application for people in their lives. I want them to be able to take the topics and ideas I present and really be able to use them within their circumstances, so that they can genuinely better themselves.
Of course I'm motivated by my own self interests. The potential money, fame, connections, etc are all appealing and very seductive in their own right. But I truly, genuinely, and unashamedly want to make a difference in others lives, provide them with value, and be able to say I am proud of how I impacted them. That is the primary driving force behind starting this at all. I just want to make sure I go about it the most authentic way I can.
I would love some insight from you guys. Thanks for reading, and thanks for replying.
