Description
A YouTuber operates their own channel on YouTube, handling content planning, scriptwriting, shooting, editing, thumbnail creation, posting, managing viewer comments, and analyzing playback data as a content creator. Monetization is diversified through ad displays, corporate tie-ups, channel memberships, and super chats (tips). Communication with viewers, SNS integration, and understanding of platform algorithms are important.
