as a fellow Youtuber Welcome!!!
https://www.whiskeyalphapilot.com - get the plug in!!
Have a look at nick Nimnim and VidIQ for youtube tips. In terms of good aviation youtubers have a look at So Cal flying monkey, and if you join his pateron he has a pile of how to videos - and apart from a being a pilot he is a professional cinematographer.
At the end of the day you either film for yourself and its a glorified holiday snaps/slide show, I am old enough to remember being forced to sit through 16 mm home movies of the last holiday! or you create for your viewers which is a whole new ball game.
But everyone should tell you it is a marathon, not a sprint. The more you put into it the more you will get out of it.
learn to make things interesting, learn to edit, and be prepared to spend hours pruning - I shoot a 45 minute video on 3/4 cameras and managed to get 12 minutes out of it. Most peoples visual attention span is around 5 to 7 seconds so any cut longer than that needs to be really interesting. To have every video you create be better than the last.
Intros are never a great idea as most people should know who you are when they click on the link. Spend more time on your title and thumbnail and hopefully more people will click on the video. Then if the video is interesting to them then they will watch for longer.
At the end of the day try to avoid copying other people and create your own style this means you can break the rules from time to time and it might work but also it might not that's the luck of being a creator.
Don't get obsessed with viewers followers they will come with time just concentrate on creating quality content and aim to publish on a regular basis the YouTube algorithm loves that.
Finally never ever compromise safety. Nothing is ever worth that.
Hope that helps but if you want to have a chat drop me a DM or is it PM. I never understand this modern technology!!
