Create Your YouTube Channel

| My YouTube Channel |
The first step in earning money on YouTube is creating your own YouTube channel. Having a YouTube lets you upload, comment or create a playlist on YouTube.
It takes less than 10 minutes to start a YouTube Channel all you have to do is make sure you sign up for a Google Account. Once your Google account is activated you can do the following excerpt from the support.google.com website:
To Create a personal channel with your name
- Make sure you're signed in to YouTube.
- Try any action that requires a channel: e.g. upload, post a comment, or create a playlist.
- If you don't yet have a channel, you'll see a prompt to create a channel.
- Check the details (with your Google account name and photo ) and confirm to create your new channel.
To Create a channel with a business or other name
- On a computer or in a mobile browser, make sure you're signed in to YouTube.
- Go to All my channels .
- If you want to make a YouTube channel for a Google+ page that you manage, you can choose it here. Otherwise, choose Create a new channel to set up a channel with a different name than your Google account name.
- Fill out the details to create your new channel.
Customize Your YouTube Channel
1. Channel Icon works like your Channel Profile Picture. This could be your own photo or your loco that will appear in the top left of your channel page.
2. About Section works like your Channel Description page. Maximize this section to tell the others who you are, what your channel is about and your other social media links.
3. Channel Art works like a Facebook Cover Photo. Its an image that goes across the width of your channel. You can easily create YouTube Channel Art Works online via Canva or create in any photo editing software you use.
Plan Your YouTube Content
Once your channel is ready you can now upload your own content/videos to go live on the web. The right planning on what your YouTube Channel will be about can determine whether you will be successful or not in the YouTube world. Just like how content is the king when it comes to blogging, the type of videos you upload will be the only means for people to watch and to subscribe to your channel. READ: My YouTube Story
