Update: I already have my first dislike. I wish I had an eyeroll emoji followed by a laughing emoji. It's just some guy trying to argue with me. All good... :)

-------

On my last post, I mentioned that I created my first YouTube video.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/cld111/blog/i-did-it-made-my...

Today, I created my second.

But then I wanted to learn how to make it look nicer.

There is SO much to learn and do! Hey, it's cool. I have alllll the time in the world. lol. Of course, I don't. I'm kidding. But, you gotta do what you gotta do!

If any of you are thinking of getting into the YouTube game, here are some things you're going to want to know how to do:

  • Use tags properly
  • Create a description and how to add links to is
  • Copy emojis to use in your description
  • Verify your YouTube account
  • Create custom thumbnails
  • Create a homepage video
  • Create a homepage image
  • Use proper keywords
  • Edit videos
  • Use the proper disclaimers
  • Create a comment
  • Pin a comment

I'm sure I'm missing so many things. I'm still working through this list myself, but little by little I'm getting it.

It's like anything new. You have to learn what to do, then put it into action.

Just a super short post for today.

I only wanted to update my YouTube progress and also let you budding YouTube stars know what you're in for. :)

Have a great day!

P.S. Leave me a comment below if you've started your YouTube channel, if you plan to and why or why not.

P.P.S. I really need to read through the terms and conditions so I don't get booted. Anyone have any immediate things I should know not to get booted?

Hi, I am just looking to start on Youtube, so this is valuable information for me, thanks for sharing, Alan

You got it, Alan!

Emojis in the description and disclaimers was new to me. Need to get going with YT

I suppose you don't need to use emojis, but they do help things stand out more.

- Christina

What are the disclaimers we should be using?

I saw some of the YouTubers from here (Littlemama and Benjis Dad) have affiliate disclaimers in their descriptions.

I just kind of copied from Grace's channel (Littlemama) and changed to fit my website.

Oh cool.. thanks Christina

Thanks for the great advice Christina. I will eventually get there.

Yes, yes you will! :)

YouTube channel at the top of my to-do list. I am looking forward to Glen's training on how to do the YT channel and how to open our e-commerce store. Great job Christina and continued success to you.

Make a living, make a difference.

Thanks Christina. Glen just promised to do the training in 2019. He has not started the training yet.

I have purchased two different YouTube Marketing programs and they are so involved and show you how to do everything needed to create your YouTube videos, rank as well as make content that has a potential to go viral.

Thanks for the article.

Danny

Thanks Danny! I may look into that eventually. I'm going to go through Jay's trainings first.

I've went through all 10 lesson more confused now i tried to set up website and it did but have no clue how to do this websites all messed up I have no clue what I'm doing how do I delete these accounts and the half put together website.

If you have technical issues you may want to reach out to the Help Center.

Thank you for pointing Patricia in the right way.

Patricia, you might want to go through the lessons again too. Sometimes it makes more sense when you see it again.
