# The YouTuber week

URL: https://gocutline.com/templates/youtuber-week/

A weekly schedule for a YouTuber publishing one long video a week: research Monday, script Tuesday, film Wednesday, edit Thursday and Friday, thumbnail and upload Saturday, and comments daily.

## Why it works
- **One stage per day** stops a video from being half-written, half-filmed for a week.
- **Editing gets two days** because it always takes longest.
- **Comments daily** build the community the algorithm rewards.

## Make it yours
- Two videos a week? Run two pipelines offset by a day.
- Shorts too? Add a 30-minute daily block to cut clips from the long video.

## Questions

**How long does one YouTube video take?**
For many creators, 10 to 20 hours from idea to upload; track yours for a few weeks and plan from the real number.
