You film how-to videos teaching makers how to run a tiny mail-order craft.
This is a YouTube teaching channel. You show makers how to run a tiny mail-order craft, as a repeating series (ops vlogs). You get paid when people watch (ads, once the channel qualifies), join as members, click affiliate links, or buy a small guide you wrote. A normal week is shoot, edit, publish a title that states the result, and answer comments. Plan on dozens of videos before this pays rent. A clear lesson beats lifestyle footage.
YouTube Partner Program: 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 public watch hours before ads. A phone is enough; a lav + tripod is typically $40–80. First ad dollar is commonly 6–18 months (YouTube Help / Creator Academy).
Each required material has a matching shop listing — photo, price, and a way to add it to the cart.
Phone
Smartphone with data
Smartphone with data. A current-enough phone with a clean lens and a prepaid data starter. This is the camera, inbox, and maps in your pocket — not a cinema body.
Packing table
A fold-flat packing table at standing height, with a tape-gun hook. A table, not a warehouse line.
Public examples matched to this path by what they actually publish — not endorsements, and not a claim they run this exact shop. Handles change. Verify before you write to anyone.
