People are looking through different channels to see if they can find something that will entertain them. That being said, you're gonna want to create a channel name that will grab their attention!
Really, there are two types of videos on Youtube: There are entertainment videos, and there are instruction videos. Now, many of us here at Wealthy Affiliate will probably be creating instruction videos, but that really depends on your niche. Regardless, the rules of the game remain the same.
Here are the steps:
- If you haven't done so already, create a Youtube Account. If you have a Gmail account for the website you're wishing to create videos for, then you'll want to use that same Gmail account.
- Upload an image. As you would do for anything else, make sure it's an image that is professional. Preferred is an image of yourself.
- Once those steps are completed, click on your icon in the top right corner of the screen, and then click on the little cogwheel (when you hover over it, it will say Youtube Settings).
- In the overview section, which you should start off in, you should see a little link at the bottom of the page on the right hand side that says "create a new channel". Click on the link.
- *** Choose an appropriate name for your channel. Remember, it's just like keywords: This is how people find your channel, so choose wisely! Once you choose a name, click on the category button, and choose a category, and then click on the box by the Page Terms (which wouldn't be a bad idea to read).
- Congratulations, you have created your Youtube Channel!
