Balancing a full-time job with restarting a YouTube channel (camping/niche advice needed)
I used to run a finance YouTube channel (~25k subs), but I eventually stepped away from it when things got overwhelming and I needed to grab a full-time job.
Now I’m in a much more stable place, and I’ve been thinking about restarting YouTube, but in a different niche.
Over the last few years I’ve built out a stealth SUV camper setup and I’d like to create content around SUV stealth camping, and outdoors. The issue is time.
With a 9-5 job and normal life responsibilities, I can’t consistently get out for trips or produce regular videos. That makes me question whether trying to grow a channel like this is realistic at all.
I know consistency matters a lot on YouTube, and I’m trying to figure out if this kind of niche is even viable part-time, or if it only really works if you go all-in.
Has anyone here successfully grown a channel in a hands-on niche (travel, camping, builds, etc.) while working full time? How did you handle consistency and content planning?
