How to start a woodworking channel

The most common formats among the channels we track: compilation / clip montage (100%).

  1. Study the example channels below: which titles and thumbnails multiply their average, and how long are the videos?

  2. Pick a narrower angle inside woodworking: focus on one audience or one question instead of the generic videos everyone makes.

  3. Aim for the median first: here that’s 0 views per video. Ship your first 10 videos in one format, then adjust from the data.

  4. Do the math honestly: 100,000 monthly views in this niche earn roughly $150 – $375. You need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours to monetize.
