Choose a YouTube channel niche and name you can sustain
A workable niche has recurring viewer questions and enough material to show answers. Choose a name after you understand that relationship.

Test the recurring problem
Write a beginner question, a purchasing decision and a task people repeat. For a small-space photography channel, these could be choosing a lamp, placing it, and setting up quickly each week.
Draft a repeatable promise
Say who the channel is for and what each video gives them. Before committing, outline three episodes and list the footage or examples you can produce. If all three episodes repeat the same result, narrow or reframe the promise.
Check the name in context
Try short names in a playlist title, a small avatar, and a spoken intro. Check availability and avoid confusing it with another creator. Pick a name that still fits when the format changes but the audience stays the same.

A batch workflow for thumbnails across several videos
Batch the decisions that repeat across videos. Review the decisions that are specific to each upload one at a time.
