Starting YouTube isn’t about equipment or confidence. It’s about clarity, positioning, and story.

In this clip, Ed breaks down how to get started with a YouTube channel in 2026 — especially if you’re building an agency, service business, or personal brand:

🔥 Why you shouldn’t try to “grow a YouTube channel” when you’re just starting

🔥 How to use YouTube as a credibility and conversion tool before it ever brings views

🔥 Why staying in your lane matters — and how poor positioning kills early channels

🔥 How storytelling makes old information feel new and worth watching

🔥 Why expertise shows instantly on camera — and why beginners struggle to compete

🔥 How lack of structure confuses viewers, even with good thumbnails and titles

🔥 Why every piece of content needs a clear point, not just information

🔥 What AI can’t replace: experience, stories, and lived credibility

If you’re starting YouTube in 2026 and feel stuck, invisible, or overwhelmed, this clip will help you understand what actually moves the needle — and what doesn’t.
