Do you have a passion for baking? Do you know that you can create a baking channel and earn money selling your recipes and videos online?

Ideally, a baking YouTube channel involves recording the process of preparing baked foods, teaching your audience how to mix the ingredients, and also taking them through the entire process.

When you gain subscribers and watch hours on your channel, you can monetize the videos or allow YouTube to put ads on them. With the baking videos channel, your potential to earn money depends on the ad format, the ads appearing while content is playing and price of the advert featured, and other YouTube set factors.

To create a successful baking video sales business, you need to work on some skills before you can launch the channel:

Basic baking techniques
Teaching skills
Analytical and problem-solving skills
Filming and video editing skills

Once you have acquired those skills and you are set to start, follow these steps to start your baking video sales business:

Watch example YouTube cooking shows
Figure out the best approach that works for your schedule
Create recipes, film and edit
Create a storyboard for each show before filming
Create a social media profile to promote the channel

Starting a baking YouTube channel requires a great deal of effort, dedication, and most importantly passion.

Cons	Description
Crowded Space	Competition is high when it comes to your baking YouTube channel, so it's important that you spend a good amount of time analyzing the market and understanding where the demand lies.
Finding The Right Supplier	Most businesses in this space go the supplier/manufacturer route, which isn't a bad thing! However, finding the right supplier can take a lot of time, energy and trial/error. If done properly, this process can save you months (if not years) of time and energy. More on this below in the "finding a supplier" section.
Security Issues	With any Saas business, data loss and security issues may arise throughout your process of building your product. It's critical that you understand exactly what you're responsible for and how to avoid potential issues down the road.
Lack of benefits	With a baking YouTube channel, you are typically self-employed and responsible for finding your own insurance, which can be quite costly and time-consuming.
Isolation	Often times, as a baking YouTube channel, you typically work alone and do not have much face-to-face interaction with other team members.
Taxes	As a baking YouTube channel, you typically pay self-employment taxes which can be quite high. It's important to understand what you will be paying in taxes each year so you can determine if the work you're taking on is worth it.
