   Is it a daily, weekly or a monthly web show? What days is your web show airing? What kind of web show is it? When does rehearsal begin? Do we have the proper things we'll need (See the "Things You'll Need" section) What will our YouTube account be named? Create a script.
   
   Proofread the script.
   
   Organize any props needed. , Don't just sit there with white walls in the background.
   
   Create an awesome set like in the popular Nickelodeon show iCarly.
   
   Make your set unique. , No one is going to watch your show if they don't know about it.
   
   Advertise it in your school, work and on the internet! , Start planning out unique segments for your web show. , Rehearse at least two times before you shoot your web show.
   
   You might want to use cue cards. , Have a great time shooting your first webisode.
   
   Relax and have fun.
   
   If you or any of the stars make a mistake, start over.
   
   You can't do a live web show on YouTube so shoot your web show at least one week before you're uploading it on YouTube. ,, Make sure it's under 15 minutes if your account hasn't been verified yet.
   
   That's a YouTube rule. , Shoot more of your web show webisodes and upload it into YouTube every day, week, month and so on.
