How long should study videos be?

2-8 hours for passive study sessions, 15-30 minutes for focused tutorials. Longer videos generate massive watch time but higher production needs.

Do I need to show my face?

Face-on videos build faster connection, but screen recording + voiceover works well. Many successful study channels use minimal face time or avatars.

What equipment do I need?

Start with your laptop, a decent microphone ($20-50), and free editing software. Audio quality matters far more than video resolution.

How do I find study content ideas?

Check Reddit study communities, YouTube search suggestions, and trending exam dates. Follow what students actually search for.

Can I monetize before 1,000 subscribers?

YouTube ads require 1,000 subscribers, but Patreon and affiliate income start immediately. Many study creators earn $500+ before hitting monetization threshold.
