How to Begin a YouTube Channel

Hundreds of thousands of videos appear on YouTube every day. Some people start their channel with the goal of becoming a famous blogger, and for some people it’s just a hobby. In addition, YouTube videos are often used by companies and agencies to attract clients.

Let’s talk about how to start a YouTube channel for beginners.

Creating a personal channel.

• Go to YouTube
• Login to your profile using your email
• In the upper right corner, click on your profile picture and select “Create Channel”
• Choose a name and image for the channel
• Confirm the creation of the channel by clicking “Create Channel”
• Add the first video

You can create a channel using the web version and the YouTube mobile app. The process is the same for both options and takes no more than 10 minutes.

• Go to the YouTube website
• In the upper right corner, click the “Sign in” button

Next, you need to sign in to your Google account or create a new one. In the latter case, click “Change Account” and then “Create Account.” After that, follow Google’s instructions. If you want to link your feed to an existing email account, choose one of the options in the list.

• Once you’re logged into your YouTube account, you can create your personal channel. Enter a name for your channel and upload the image you want – a picture of your channel. You can change the title and picture at any time.

You can customize the channel design by choosing a background image, banner, and logo. To make the channel even richer, add a description, links you want viewers to know about, and your contact information. The appropriate options are available on the Channel Settings tab. There you can also set the desired appearance of your channel’s home page, namely adding sections (up to 12 pieces).

When creating your YouTube channel, pay special attention to its design. Try to briefly describe what your channel is about; add a unique visual design and try to stick to your own style in all elements:

• username
• channel header

Your user name, header, and thumbnails.

See at a glance how successful your channel is on YouTube: your subscribers, channel and video views, user comments, likes and dislikes. What’s more, YouTube Analytics will tell you all the details about your audience, where and when they come to your channel, how long and how often they watch your videos – to name just a few of the indicators available.

Tips for creating a YouTube channel

Create content that people want to share

• Connect with viewers

• Be consistent
• Focus on your audience
• Add new videos on a regular basis
• Optimize videos with title, tags, and description
• Make sure new viewers understand what you want to talk about
• Collaborate with other writers
• Seek inspiration

Take care of the promotion in advance! You can initially buy YouTube views from real people.

How to write a YouTube description

Don’t leave the “About the channel” tab blank. This is important: The text in the channel description not only reveals its content, but is also indexed in search so that your channel shows up in recommendations.

Here you can talk about your company or yourself as an author, write about what your content is about, who it is suitable for, what it can be useful and interesting for the viewer, and how you can be contacted.

The YouTube channel description is limited to 1,000 characters. Particular attention should be paid to the first 100 to 150 characters. Depending on the device, the remaining text may be hidden. A good tactic is to include a few relevant keywords and calls to action in the first lines of the description.

How to make a YouTube channel trailer

A channel trailer is a short video introducing the channel. It will be seen by users who are visiting your channel for the first time and are not yet subscribed to it. It’s important to grab their attention from the first seconds, tell them the message of the channel in a way that makes them want to subscribe and watch new episodes.

Think of it as your message to your viewers and show them the best of them in one minute. Start with a short greeting, continue with the channel idea, and end with a call to action – subscribe to the channel.

To get more views for your trailer, you can buy real YouTube views.

How to choose themes for YouTube videos

If you want to create a YouTube channel, make it popular and in demand, you need to carefully select themes for your videos and optimize them for popular keywords close to the blog topic. Keywords are the search phrases people use most often when searching for information.

The easiest way to find out what topics you should make your first videos on is to use YouTube search tips.

Write down suggested keywords and check their frequency with SEO services such as Keyword Tool, Google Keyword Planner, and VidIQ. At the beginning of video blog development, make videos for medium frequency queries. If the frequency is too low, the video is likely to gain few views. Conversely, if the query frequency is too high, the video will have a hard time competing in YouTube searches.

Be sure to add tags and keyword descriptions to every video. It’s the description that helps YouTube algorithms understand what your video is about and to whom it should be shown. The higher the quality of the description, the higher the video rating, the greater the chance of getting into the “Related Videos” selection, which brings in up to 70% of all viewers.

Start your channel and don’t be afraid of anything. Remember, there will be no instant result, but if you put enough effort, everything will work out!
