How to create a YouTube channel

What is important to do BEFORE creating a YouTube channel?

The channel is almost created, there is 1 last step left and now I propose to stop and answer the questions:
What channel will it be: personal or for business or company? If personal, then with your name or with a different name? What is the theme of the channel? What kind of materials will you post: news videos, educational, entertainment, children's, selling?

Important tip:
When choosing a channel topic, pay attention to 2 points:

• Does anyone have such a topic on the Internet and is already promoted? Look, think about it, in any case, you need to know your competitor by sight.
• Money and prospects. Let me explain - can you make money on this topic? The prospects are assessed from this point of view; in 3-5-10 the need for this topic will not disappear? For example: the passion for photography is being replaced in the market by shooting with cameras.

When you answer these questions for yourself, then enter youtube.com in the browser line. Login is located in the upper right corner. Click and enter your Google account and Gmail details. You must confirm your personal information via SMS or voicemail to your phone number. This is done only once during registration. The phone number will not be linked anywhere; you can use the phone number of any person you know.

How to create a channel on youtube

After creating an account in Google, we returned to the youtube service and it offers us several popular channels for subscription. The channels are divided into categories and you can choose the one you like and subscribe to it, after which you will be notified when new videos are released on this channel. If you do not want to subscribe yet, click the “Next” button.

After this, Youtube will offer several more popular channels:

Pay attention to the checkbox below - “I want to receive information about updates on the Youtube website, as well as tips and suggestions.” If you do not want to receive messages from the youtube service by email and not clog up your mail, you can uncheck this box and click on the “Save” button.

The next step is that YouTube “asks” us how we want to use it: name our channel the same as the previously created Google profile or come up with a new name specifically for the channel. Here the choice is yours. For example, if you are a representative of a campaign, then you register a Google account in your name, and name the channel with the name of the company. If the first option suits you, then just click the “Ok” button.

If the second option suits you, then you need to click on the link “To use a company name or another name, click here.”

After this, click the “Ok” button. In this article I will consider the second option, when the channel name is different from the google account name. Those. my account is called “Opekun Alexander”, and I will give the channel a different name, for example “Opekuntestchanel”.

1. Specify the name of the channel;

3. Check the box agreeing to the terms of use of the pages;

1. Make sure your country is selected, if not, select it from the list;

2. Enter your mobile phone number;

They write to us that the channel has been successfully added to our account. Pay attention to the blue square in the channel header, because... I created a separate name for the channel, then the photo will need to be specified separately. Those who have chosen to use their channel in the same way as a profile and name the channel with the name of the profile will have their profile photo substituted.

You may also notice small hints in the form of pop-up windows. You can read these tips and click the “Next” button to switch them.

How to add a video to youtube

The channel has been created and now we just need to figure out how to add videos. In the upper right corner of the site there is a button “Add video”, click it.

After this, a window pops up in which we can add a video, but do not rush to do this. Because we just created a channel, youtube allows us to upload videos no longer than 15 minutes. To increase this limit, you need to click on the link “Increase your limit.”

You need to do one more account confirmation:

1. Choose your country

2. Select the item “Send SMS with code”

3. Indicate your mobile phone number

Enter the verification code from the SMS message and click the “Send” button. Next, Youtube congratulates us and informs us that our account has been verified. Click the “Continue” button. We now have the ability to upload videos longer than 15 minutes!

After that, click on the “Add video” button again. Next, click on the arrow indicated in the picture below:

Please note that when downloading a video, the title of the video (marked as number 1 in the screenshot) is filled with the name of the file itself that you are downloading. You can change the title of the video on YouTube, but I recommend that you initially name your video files the same way as you plan to name the video on your channel on YouTube - this will increase its ranking in the site’s search results.

The next point is that you can choose for whom this video will be available:

1. For everyone - this means that your video can be found through search by any Internet user.

3. Personal - with this option, only you, as the owner of the channel, will be able to view the video.

After you have chosen who can see your video, you can also specify a description of the video and tags (keywords) and then click the “Publish” button.

At the very top of the page, the progress of downloading and processing the video is displayed, as soon as it says “PROCESSING COMPLETE”, your video becomes available for viewing on YouTube if you clicked the “Publish” button. If processing is complete and you have not published the video, it is not yet available for viewing.

After processing is completed, you will see the following window:

Almost every user has an account on popular social networks, communities, and video channels. The most popular channel among Internet users is YouTube. on YouTube, how to design and promote your videos, we will look at this in this article.

Why do you need your own YouTube channel?

For different purposes:

• blog promotion and attracting traffic to your resource;
• promotion of your brand and business;
• earnings from advertising;
• promotion to the top due to the link mass.

Thanks to interesting or educational videos, you can get decent traffic from YouTube every month. The main thing is to know some of the features of posting video clips and promoting them in the first day.

If you manage your channel correctly, you can promote your brand and increase sales through traffic. You can earn money through Google Adsense advertising or the YouTube affiliate program, but to do this you need to make your channel popular.

By the way, if you leave links to your resources on YouTube, you can promote your site to the top, and thereby increase traffic or sales. But to achieve these goals, it is not enough to create a channel. Designing a channel on YouTube and promoting videos also requires special attention, but we’ll talk about these nuances below.

Before creating a channel on youtube , decide on its topic. So far, there are 5 areas on YouTube: for entertainment videos (director's and music), for humorous videos (comedy), for scientific, educational (educational) and secular videos (journalistic). In the latter case, not only famous events or the lives of popular people are covered, but also forums.
