Going to YouTube

So I have been thinking that I do record a lot of my junkyard crawls and stuff I do but it's always been for my own entertainment. Then I find I never watch my own videos so they just kinda find their way to a hard drive and drift away into time.

So because I'm a huge fan of YouTube and I watch 800 hours of videos a year according to YouTube, I'm no stranger to what the typical content is and it's pretty much stuff I do and can handle.

So I'm planning on getting started, maybe this weekend so my question is to those members on YouTube. @318willrun

1. How do you edit videos. Is there software, does it cost?

2. How do you get over the nerves. I almost went on the live chat tonight with Mucsle car city (Rueben) but my mic wasn't working and the computer froze up a few times. But then he said i can use my phone which I hadn't even thought of, but then I couldn't get logged in for some *** reason.

In a way I got really nervous thinking about how many viewers there actually are. I mean an old man in rural Russia can potentially be watching me make a *** of myself going on and on about a valiant.

C. How do you add music and where can you select songs that won't get your video booted by yuuuuuutoooob

D. What other equipment will I need other than a mic and I'm guessing a gopro camera??

5. Are there any other tips you can give to making a solid video?

Ok, I'm done thinking out loud, any input is appreciated.
