A few more thoughts on this:
Try to keep production simple. Make a "set" that's easy to set up and take down. Sometimes a white sheet for a backdrop, hanging opposite a sunny window, is all you need.
Do some rehearsals to test whether the lighting, angles, and background work properly.
No dialogue on-screen. Record the audio separately and overdub. This keeps you from having to "get everything right" in a take.
Shoot several vids in one session. This assumes they are short (my recommendation: less than five minutes each) and you make the most of daylight and your energy before you get fatigued. (You will probably get fatigued if you are doing it right and you go long enough -- just a reality of making vids.)
Monetize through whatever platform you choose. You may not make a lot of money at this, but a little financial reward helps keep your interest and energy up. Nobody works well for free.
Make little (:15 sec) previews from each vid to help sell the $$ clips.
Read your contract to ensure you can own the product if you end the contract.
Expect theft and unauthorized distribution. (Another good reason to keep your faces out of it!)
