Anyone got any advice on how to get started with posting my own, building a channel, optimizing etc
Or links to any 'covers everything' articles.

- connect channel to socials
- upload some videos and add descriptions to these videos

That's for the good beginning! :)
When you visit your channel, on right site you'll have "Channel tips" so follow them :)
