We won't go through the whole kabang here, but I at least wanted to show you how to add videos to your Youtube account.

You may be creating videos by many methods. Some of you may be using paid software, or free software. Whatever the case, make sure your video is in .mp4 format, or Youtube is going to fuss...and you don't want Youtube to fuss.

Here's how to add videos to your Youtube Channel:

  1. Click on the upload video button in the right hand corner of your screen on Youtube.
  2. If you have the file handy, you can just drag your file to the big empty space that pops up. Otherwise, click the Youtube icon with the up-arrow, and find the file and add it in that manner.

That's all you need to do. Now, the organization part comes in: If you have multiple subniches, you may consider creating a channel for that subniche. For instance, if you're making a website on Web Design, and you're instructing in some of your posts how to do certain things in Wordpress, then you might have a channel titled "Wordpress" or any variation close to it.

If you have multiple subniches, then click on your icon in the top right hand corner of your page, and you can switch the channel, and upload from there.

So, that's how you create a Youtube channel, and I hope you guys find this useful!

Should I give the channel the same name as my website? And, if I have more than one website, can I have more than one YouTube channel?

It would be good to name the channel the same as your website. As for your last question, I’m sure you can. 1 channel for 1 website sounds great. I’ve seen people having many channels using the same account.

What free software would you recommend if you gonna make YouTube videos when you want to mainly film yourself? Or is it better to do it with your own camera do you think?

If you are using a webcam, you can just record your videos with the webcam and use YouTube's built in features for loading the video.
If you need screen capture software to record actions you are doing on your computer, I have found http://www.movavi.com/ to be a good resource.
If the video is just you talking, a webcam built into your monitor would probably be enough.

Thanks for that response electrobot. Also, if you are looking to record just your screen, and you have a mic say on your laptop (if you have a desktop then you can purchase one online for cheap), then you can use ScreenCast-o-Matic to record screen software. They always do it for free. and I haven't had any trouble with them either.
