Youtube as a Career Option
Hi, friends!
So in this blog, I would like to discuss a topic which I have already been discussing many times in my videos on my YouTube channel. Nowadays as internet & 4G facilities are growing so faster YouTube is also started gaining popularity around the world & it will keep on growing in future as well. Do you know? There are millions of people who start their YouTube channel every year & most of them do not belong to the well-off families most of them are financially weak.
So in this particular blog, I will put my opinion on the advantages & disadvantages (good or bad) of YouTube as a career option based on my experience.
ADVANTAGES:
- YOU CAN FOLLOW YOUR PASSION:
If you are in a job most of us do not get the chance to work in that particular area for which we are passionate about hence we do not get the job satisfaction but YouTube is a place where you can present your talent for which you are passionate about & get paid off for that.
- NO NEED OF ANY PROFESSIONAL & EDUCATIONAL DEGREE:
To become a successful YouTuber it’s not necessary to have a professional or an educational degree, you just need to be a master in a particular topic or an area you need to have a full command on your topic so that you can provide good, knowledgeable & reliable information to your viewers.
- YOU CAN START IT FROM ANYWHERE:
If you want to set up any business you need to have a proper place or an office for that, if you are in certain kind of a job then also you need to go to different office places but according to me the best part to opt YouTube as a career option is you can start it from anywhere anytime even you can start it from your home itself initially no workplaces are required.
- NO WORK PRESSURE
One of the best parts choosing YouTube as a career option is you will work without any pressure. If you have any business or you do certain kind of job you cannot take leave easily either your salary will be deducted or if you have any business you will lose your customer & income will also get affected.
- NO TIME BOUNDATION:
Like any other working hours or business timing there is no as such time boundation in Youtubing you can upload your videos whenever you get time or you feel comfortable even you can upload your videos at night as well.
- ANYONE CAN START THERE CHANNEL:
There are no qualification or age restrictions required to start a YouTube channel. You can start your YouTube channel at any point of your age whether you are 18 or 80 or you are a housewife or a professional person you just need to have full command on your topic.
- BENEFICIAL FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITY:
I can see YouTube as a great opportunity for people with disability. I personally know a girl who has done her fashion designing from India’s top fashion institute
(NIFT ) NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF FASHION TECHNOLOGY but she did not get any job opportunity from any company due to her disability. Despite her talent companies refused to hire her because according to them they could not provide her that disability friendly infrastructure. After a long struggling period of time, she found me on YouTube & asked me to guide her to start her YouTube channel & finally she decided to go with this option & now she is running her channel without sharing her disability with her viewers & subscribers & her disability is not a barrier in her career anymore. So this incident turned my mind to think that YouTube can be a great career option for people with disabilities.
DISADVANTAGES:
- FAMILY & SOCIAL EXCEPTANCE:
Initially, it is very difficult to convince your family & society that you are opting YouTube as a career option, especially in India because of the less awareness about YouTube.
- TIME TAKING PROCESS:
To establish a YouTube channel is not a one day process it can take 6 months or a year to run a successful YouTube channel. But yes exceptions are there.
- INVESTMENT & TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE:
Most of the people who start their YouTube channel they do not belong to the well-off families so it is very difficult for them to purchase all the necessary equipments for making a good quality video. When people start their channel due to the lack of technical, SEO & community guideline knowledge most of them could not continue with it, they just stop uploading videos at the initial stage itself.
- COPYING OF IDEAS:
According to me one of the biggest drawbacks is copying of ideas. On youtube, anyone can easily copy anyone’s original idea & make videos on it & can get more views.
- FAKE TRICKS:
To gain views & subscribers people apply so many fake tricks which are very difficult for YouTube to catch until & unless anyone reports that particular channel & due to these fake tricks people also start losing their faith on such videos.
MY WORDS ON IT:
Like any other career options, YouTube also has some advantages & disadvantages but I would definitely recommend people to choose YouTube as a career option because this will also encourage the entrepreneurship in India & I want to see Indian YouTubers in the top YouTuber’s list in upcoming years.
