When to create a 2nd channel?

I agree, but disagree as well.

I understand what Phil is saying, but you can have to successful channels even when you're small. I have a vlog channel and a gaming channel, and I consider both to be successful and I never thought they'd both get to where they have today. On my vlog channel I have 278 subscribers, and on my gaming I have 50 subscribers. Two completely different audiences.

That being said, If you don't have time/knowledge to grow your main channel, you really shouldn't be making a second channel. Running one channel takes work and dedication, and if you can balance that on two channels, awesome!

I know i'm still in the improving stage. No way would I consider even one of my channels to be perfect. I know I still need to work/improve on my vlogging channel, so should I even have another channel? Maybe not. I do both channels for fun. Sure, i'd love it if I got big (don't we all?), but for the time being it's just a hobby that I love to do. To me it's not about how many subscribers you have, it's about the fans. The reason that you make videos. I don't think it matters if I have 10 subscribers or 100,000 subscribers. If I have majority loyal active fans, I'm happy.

I typed a lot more than I was planning on doing hahaha.

Long story short: If you feel like you can manage both channels, go for it. If not, wait until you are ready. It doesn't matter how many subscribers you have.
 
I think if you're small on YouTube, it's okay to have a second channel for outtakes and stuff like that. Kind of for 'spare' materials from videos that you've already done. But I certainly would not use time making stuff from scratch especially for a second channel, as it seems to me that it's hard enough to build an audience on one channel, never mind trying to build an audience on two.
 
What I did was that I made myself two channels in the first place, so that I can get that username before some fan or hater got it, but i'll use it later as my audience increases ! :)
 
I think if you're dedicated enough and have enough drive AND have enough love for video making, then YES! Go for it (: I recently just made a second channel and started it yesterday. I'm really excited and I know it's gonna take a lot of work balancing both my channels.
