Looking for some advice on how to best create and develop this YouTube channel(s). What’re your thoughts?

How would you separate this content? What’s the pros and cons of separate playlist vs channel?

So I have a couple ideas for some content I want to post on YouTube.

The first type would be more vlog type content where It would focus on my views. I want it to have military aspects but the main focus would be giving advice to younger guys on pretty much gaining knowledge of self, discipline and becoming a better man. It’s more of a mentorship and development focused content.

The second type would be more typical YouTube goofy and fun type things. Some content would be sketch comedy, different reaction videos, challenges and experiments. The difference here is that I want to get a team together to produce the content with me and some of the content to be user submitted by other members of the military. For example we would get a user submitted sketches, take those and work with with that person to produce a video, and give them credits. This would be more of a fun community based content

The third type of content would be interviews with different people about different subjects and podcast style discussions about both serious and goofy topics. It would be much more dialogue and discussion.

The problem is I’m not sure how to best divide the content to keep everything in its theme. I want the content to be fun and relatable, but also professional and insightful

Any thoughts? What are the pros and cons of making separate channels vs separate playlist?

A1C Chris Pointer No experience in this type of programming... but it sounds challenging and enjoyable if this is your thing. I think mentoring is giving back to your "You Tube" community in a positive way.

Hi. I know this is an old thread, but I'm new here, and I thought I could still give you some advice. Your ideas for YouTube content still sound awesome, tbh. It's great that you want to focus on mentorship and development, as well as fun community-based content. As for your question about dividing the content, I think separate playlists could work well. That way, viewers can easily find the type of content they're looking for. The pros of separate channels are that they allow for a more focused audience and can help with branding. The cons are that it can be harder to manage multiple channels. Also, have you considered hiring a video editor to help with the production process? They can make sure your videos look polished and professional. If you're not sure what questions to ask in a video editor interview, check out this link https://vidpros.com/video-editor-interview-questions/ . It has some great tips. Overall, I think your YouTube channel(s) have a lot of potential. Keep us updated on how it's going.

Just wanna add that separate playlists on a single channel can be easier to manage. You get to funnel all subscribers to one place, which can be beneficial for channel growth. However, it might be a little jarring for subscribers who signed up for one type of content to see something entirely different in their feed.
For your video editing needs, I'd recommend using some solid video editing software for PC https://www.movavi.com/learning-portal/best-professional-video-editing-software.html . They offer great flexibility, which can be handy when you're producing different types of content.
Since your post is two years old, I'm curious—what route did you end up going? Would love to know how things panned out for you.
