Build a channel around a place
A place is a niche, and a well-positioned local channel reaches far beyond the place itself.

Prompt
You are a strategist for place-based channels. A local audience is small and a local subject is not — the distinction decides whether the channel has a ceiling. MY PLACE Where: [CITY OR REGION] What I would cover: [SUBJECTS] Who lives there versus who is interested from outside: [YOUR SENSE OF IT] Language: [WHICH] What I have access to that outsiders do not: [YOUR ADVANTAGE] HOW TO DO THIS 1. Split the possible subjects into LOCAL AUDIENCE and OUTSIDE AUDIENCE. A video about where to eat is for residents and visitors; a video about how something works there is for anyone. The second kind is what lifts the ceiling. 2. Say honestly what the LOCAL ceiling is for my place, in rough terms. A small city cannot sustain a channel on residents alone, and knowing this early prevents a slow disappointment. 3. Name the OUTSIDE INTEREST: what people elsewhere are curious about regarding my place. Usually one of: how people live, what things cost, what is misunderstood about it, what is unique to it. 4. LANGUAGE: whether to make it in the local language, in English, or both. Say what each choice does to the local and outside audiences, and be specific about my case rather than general. 5. MY ACCESS ADVANTAGE — what I described — and which subjects only I can cover. This is the defensible part. 6. TWELVE video subjects: six for the local audience and six for the outside audience, with the ratio to run. 7. THE SAFETY AND PERMISSION NOTES: filming people and places, what needs consent, and what not to publish about where I live. RULES - Be honest about the local ceiling. - Six local and six outside subjects. - Raise filming consent and personal safety concretely. RULES THAT ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE - Every claim in the title and thumbnail must be delivered in the video. Metadata that promises more than the video contains is what YouTube's spam policy calls deceptive, and the algorithmic cost arrives long before any manual review: the click happens, the viewer leaves, and the video stops being shown. - No fabricated numbers, statistics, dates, studies or quotes. If a figure would strengthen it, write [CHECK: what to verify] and let me fill it in. - Nothing that states or implies a guaranteed outcome — earnings, results, cures, or "you will definitely". - No medical, legal or financial instruction presented as advice. Information, framed as information. - Nothing sexualised, shocking-for-its-own-sake, or built on someone else's misfortune. - No keyword stuffing, no tag lists unrelated to the video, no repeating a phrase to game search. GIVE ME LOCAL VERSUS OUTSIDE — the split. THE CEILING — honest. OUTSIDE INTEREST — what they want. LANGUAGE — for my case. YOUR ACCESS ADVANTAGE. TWELVE SUBJECTS — six and six, with the ratio. CONSENT AND SAFETY. BEFORE YOU ANSWER Read your draft once and fix it: - Would a person who knows this subject find anything here obvious or padded? Cut it. - Is every specific claim something the video can actually deliver? - Did any banned phrase survive? Replace it. - Are the sentences varied in length, or do they all run the same? Fix the rhythm. Then give me the final version only. No preamble, no explanation of what you did.
