I currently have a YT channel with videos covering five many subject matters. I have wondered for some time whether that is helping or hurting me, and wondering if I should create more channels to devote to a single major subject. Would just like to hear some comments along these lines. Thanks
It depends on whether or not you're covering multiple subjects in a similar format or if you're covering multiple genres. Those can be tricky because they don't always work well under the same format.
Like, I'm an educational channel and I have one series on useless trivia and another on language. So, they're all different subjects but they're still educational so it's a little easier to keep it kinda uniform, I guess.
But doing something completely different, like Let's Plays or beauty reviews of daily vlogs - that kind of thing would clutter up my channel because it's a whole new kettle of fish each time and each of those things requires a different setup and creation process. Plus, when people visit a channel that's kind of a mess of everything, it's more off-putting because they don't quite know who you want to be.
So if you're doing several things that are completely different from one another, I'd recommend multiple channels. Just make sure it's a project you can maintain - sometimes one is bad enough!
