Creating your own YouTube channel is a great way to expand your personal brand and increase
your visibility as an influencer. Having your own channel also means you have full control over the
content you produce and can build up a loyal audience over time. To get started, you’ll need some
basic equipment like a camera and microphone, as well as some software. Once you have all that,
creating your channel is fairly simple. This guide will walk you through the process of creating your
own YouTube channel from start to finish so that you have everything ready to go once you’re
finished reading this article. Creating a YouTube channel is free and only takes about 10 minutes
total from start to finish; although it may take longer if you need to download any software or if you
are new to using Google Drive or Google Docs for collaborative projects.
Select a Channel Name and Icon
The first thing you’ll need to do is select a channel name and icon. While both of these can be
changed at any point, it’s still important to select the right name and icon the first time around. Your
channel name is how people will find you. While your icon is what people will see when they click on
your name. For your channel name, you have a few options. You can go with something descriptive
like “The Best Personal Finance Channel” or something general like “Personal Finance”. The
general option will likely net you more views, but the more specific one will likely be more targeted.
For your icon, you have a few options. You can go with a photo of yourself or a stock photo.
Alternatively, you can use your logo or a simplified version of your channel banner (more on that
later).
Create a YouTube Channel Once you have a name and icon selected, you can go ahead and create the channel. To do so,
simply click on the “New Channel” or “Create Channel” button in the top right corner of YouTube.
You’ll be asked to enter a few pieces of basic information before you can finish creating your
channel. You can enter whatever information you like, but make sure to click on the “Terms of
Service” checkbox at the bottom of the page so that your channel is not deleted by YouTube. After
you click “Create Channel”, you’ll be automatically logged into your new YouTube account. You can
quickly go and create your first video from your account page.
Record Your Channel Introduction Once you’ve created your channel, the next thing to do is record your introduction. This is the video
that plays when someone visits your YouTube channel. Your introduction is an important piece of
your YouTube channel and is your first chance to make a great impression on new viewers. Ideally,
you want to keep your introduction short and informative. It should include your name, what you plan
to cover on the channel, and your general branding (e.g. if you’re a financial advisor, the best places
to save for retirement, etc.). You may want to consider having a friend or colleague help you record
your introduction.
Download and Add Background Music Once you’re done recording your introduction, you should download it and upload it to your YouTube
channel. You’ll then need to add background music to your introduction video. You can use any
music you want, but make sure to only use music that you have permission to use or that you own
the rights to. If you’re a small channel and want to save money, you can find tons of free music
online. Alternatively, you can purchase a license to legally use copyrighted music from sites like
AudioJungle or Pond5. You can add music to your YouTube channel from your account page. Once
you’re logged in, click on “Video Manager”, select your introduction video, and click on the “Edit”
button in the top right corner of your screen. From there, you can add your music.
Add Your Video Editions Now that you have an introduction and music, it’s time to start adding videos to your YouTube
channel. Before you start uploading videos, make sure you have a consistent structure for your
channel. This will help your channel feel more professional and organized. The best way to do this is
to create a series of video editions (e.g. “The Best Places To Save For Retirement”, “The Best
Personal Finance Tips”, etc.). Once you have your editions ready, you can go ahead and upload
them to your channel. You can do this from your account page or by uploading the video directly
from the video editing software you use (more on that later).
Add Images and Info To The End Cards Now that you have your videos uploaded to YouTube, you should go back and add images and
information to the end cards. This is the area at the bottom of your video that will be visible before
the video starts. Your end cards are also a great place to include your branding. There are a few
ways to add images and information to your end cards. You can either edit the video directly from
YouTube, or you can edit the video from your Google Drive account. If you choose to edit things
from YouTube, go to the video edition you want to edit and click on the “End card” tab at the top of
the page. From there, you can enter your title, description, and add an image. If you choose to edit
things from Google Drive, go to the video edition you want to edit and click the “Share” button in the
top right corner of your screen. From there, select “Edit with Google Docs”.
Add More Editions of Your Videos Once you’ve created your first few video editions and have them uploaded to YouTube, the next step
is to go back and add more editions to your channel. Ideally, you’ll want to have anywhere from 5 to
10 video editions for your first few videos. This will give your channel a nice variety and will help new
viewers know what to expect. As you create more videos, you’ll want to add new video editions to
your YouTube channel. Make sure you keep the same format and order for your video editions
throughout your channel. This will make your channel feel more organized and professional. It will
also help viewers know exactly what to expect when they visit your channel.
Conclusion Creating your own YouTube channel is a great way to expand your personal brand, increase your
visibility as an influencer, and make extra money online. Having your own channel also means you
have full control over the content you produce and can build up a loyal audience over time. To get
started, you’ll need some basic equipment like a camera and microphone, as well as some software.
Once you have all that, creating your channel is fairly simple. This guide will walk you through the
