How To Create A YouTube Channel

Let's do it.
Let's assume you are a complete beginner.
And you don't even have a YouTube account.
Click Sign in and then create a new account.
Here you will have three choices.
Generally, it is better to choose the business option.
Because it gives you the most flexibility.
And future proof your YouTube channel.
You have to fill all these things yourself.
Because I don't know your name
And I don't want to know what your password is.
Now that you have a YouTube account, you need a YouTube channel.
So, go to your incredibly bad profile picture.
And create a new channel.
This is where you can upload.
A very interesting profile picture.
And this is where you can decide your channel name.
When it comes to channel names,
My advice is to keep it simple, make it memorable,
And it's easy to spell.
And try to make it unique,
Because if your channel name is generic.
You will be very difficult to find.
Whatever name you decide on, you can change it later.
And that's all you have to do at this point.
To create your YouTube channel it will look like this.
Oh, and if you go back to your profile image,
You can now navigate directly to your YouTube channel.
Or switch accounts, watch all channels,
And set up another YouTube channel.
If you're feeling somewhat ambitious.
About this whole YouTube adventure.
Nothing will happen on your channel right now.
Then, go to your profile picture.
And go to YouTube Studio.
This is the back page of your YouTube channel.
where you can do many things,
Including switching between light and dark desktop modes.
But yeah, I'm not going to lie to you, it's pretty bright.
(liquid quick)
- My eyes, glasses don't do anything.
- To speed up your channel,
Scroll down the left-hand navigation bar.
Unless you see custom.
Alternatively, if you are on your YouTube channel,
Clicking the Customize button
will take you to the same place.
Since your channel will not have any content yet,
The Layout tab is a bit useless.
So go to the basic information tab,
You can change your channel name wherever you want.
And add a short description about your channel.
Anyone visiting your channel on the YouTube mobile app
You will see the first two lines.
Your channel description,
So make sure the elevator pitch really counts.
don't talk about yourself
Talk about the value you are going to provide to the audience.
And with the rest of the details,
Figure it out with keywords.
Which can help your channel rank in search and discovery.
Unfortunately, until you get 100 subscribers,
You're stuck with this random website address.
For your channel,
But you cannot add links to any of your external sites.
They will appear on your desktop channel homepage like this,
But they don't appear on the YouTube mobile app.
and whatever you do,
Make sure this contact email is not the same.
As your YouTube account email.
what's the matter?
On the branding page,
You can change your profile picture and upload a banner.
which appears at the top of your channel page.
Try not to make your banner too complicated.
It should be designed to inform the viewer.
If they are in the right place as soon as possible.
Use items that are relevant to your topic.
Match the design and colors with your thumbnails.
And create a memorable slogan or value proposition
That speaks the language of your target audience.
When you watch YouTube videos,
You must have seen this picture.
In the bottom right corner
which allows viewers to subscribe,
At least on desktop YouTube.
This is a branding video watermark image.
Which you can upload here.
We recommend a simple subscribe button,
Since it is a call to action that represents
And now for the most important thing you need to do.
After creating your channel, verify your channel,
And you'll need one of these to do it.
So, back to that YouTube Studio screen,
This time you want to go to Settings,
Then the channel section,
And then the Feature Capability tab.
When you verify your channel,
You unlock mission critical features.
Like custom thumbnails, long videos,
and live streaming.
Click on Verify Phone Number button,
Follow the on-screen instructions,
And you should be verified in a few minutes.
If you go back to advanced settings.
In the channel section,
You will see this question.
About setting your channel as made for kids.
If you do not change this setting here,
You will be prompted every time you upload a video.
If you believe in your videos.
Not strictly made for children,
You can set it to no,
But before you answer this question, do your research.
Another thing you should do in the settings screen.
Ended up on the Community section under the Defaults tab.
Inappropriate comment moderation should already be turned on.
But take that Better Rigidity check box
As YouTube is having a lot of trouble.
Recently with spam comments.
There are many things you can do.
In the Upload Defaults section of Settings,
But most important is visibility.
Set it to private or unlisted.
So that you have time.
To properly develop and optimize videos
Before you publish them.
Remember when I suggested earlier.
Setting up your YouTube channel as a business?
Well, this is one of the reasons.
On the permission screen you can invite people.
And assign them to different roles on your channel.
This is probably something to note for the future.
When you succeed.
YouTube has a huge audio library,
Full of free music and sound effects.
which you can download and use on your videos.
If you use them, you will not receive any copyright claims.
And you will be able to monetize these videos in the future.
(exciting music)
Speaking of monetization, there is a screen
Dedicated to tracking its progress.
You can set it up so that YouTube automatically emails you.
When you meet the requirements.
Also at some point you will need to activate.
Two-factor authentication on your channel,
And since this is an additional layer of security,
You still can.
And one more thing, if you're not in YouTube Studio,
Click on your profile image and go to Settings,
Then advanced settings, and you can delete your channel.
If you've realized that it's all a big, terrible mistake.
(timer beeping)
(channel bursting)
Well, wasn't it quick and easy?
But now comes the hard part, getting feedback.
Earn subscribers, build community.
It will take a little longer to explain.
But if you are excited.
And you're committed to this YouTube journey,
Good luck. Go change the world.
Thanks
