YouTube Channel
Have you ever dreamed of quitting your 9 to 5 job and turning your favorite hobby into a regular occupation? Well, this journey has to start somewhere, and today we’ll see how to create a YouTube channel. The rock lord storyteller is here to help us.
After nearly two years of working with the creators of Instagram, Silvio decided to take up photography on his own. Finally, after he started working with YouTube creators, the urge to start telling his stories through video grew stronger, and he took the first step towards creating his own YouTube channel.
Q: Before starting a YouTube channel, what’s important to keep in mind?
A: Finding your niche is very important; This must necessarily be related to your real interests and hobbies. If you decide to carve a niche just because you think it is popular, and thus get more views, it will be difficult for you to create high-quality videos and burn out due to lack of interest.
Q: When did you start your first YouTube channel? And why?
A: I launched my YouTube channel in April 2020 and I would say it is high time. I planned to launch the channel a year ago, but due to doubts, insufficient concentration, doubts about my material, I put it off. When the pandemic hit, I felt a slight sense of urgency and realized that people are consuming online content more than ever.
Q: How do you go about creating a YouTube channel? Can you bring us through the technical and practical steps?
A: First of all, you will need to create a Google account if you don’t already have one. Once you’ve created a real channel by choosing a channel name, it’s time to set it up. Decide what type of photo you want to use for your profile photo (both your followers and new viewers will see it all the time, so choose wisely!) Having an attractive banner is also important to your brand and helps people understand what your channel is about. Recommended banner size is 2560 x 1440. A good tip is to use Canva, a great tool for creating simple yet great-looking banners. Another good option for this is Instasize. Most creators clearly indicate their niches on their banners, and some also indicate how often they post new videos.
Don’t forget to add your other social channels like Instagram or Facebook. Connecting all relevant social channels is a good way to get viewers to interact with you across multiple platforms.
When you’re ready to upload your first video, remember to use tags specific to your video and niche. Tags can be a great way to attract new viewers and subscribers. Personally, I use Tubebuddy for tag searches. This is what I highly recommend and their basic service is free! Remember It can take time to download the actual video file and it can also take your YouTube video to properly process. If your goal is to charge at a specific time, take an extra hour or so. It’s better to be able to schedule a video ahead of time than stressing out at the last minute trying to meet a deadline!
