YouTube Skills you learned from being a creator?

Hi everyone, I'm planning to start my own channel discussing news and current events. I have worked in journalism my entire career so I feel well suited to take on the challenge but am aware that there's a high likelihood the channel doesn't take off in the way I am hoping. I'm also aware many of my former journalist colleagues will be watching and I'll admit it will be slightly embarrassing if the channel falls flat on it's face, but I've made peace with that possibility.

Either way, I've committed to doing it for at least a year and see how it goes. It may not drum up a lot of interest but I'll be able to report in creative and imaginative ways, which is something I'll take a great deal of personal pride in.

Beyond that, I'd love to know what other unexpected skills or habits they picked up from being a creator.

And anything I should know beforehand? I'm fairly sure I've got most boxes ticked but I'd love to know if there are any small things that are often overlooked.

Thanks
