Lately I notice this trend. If I type a phrase in the search bar of the browser, and then go to the output, then first of all I look at what is in the output from the video. I got lazy, I don't know. But it's not about me, but about the general trend. The fact that the visual is much better perceived is already scientific fact. Judging by the growth in the number of video clips on the network, I'm not the only one who noticed this. Since such a wave has gone, it's time to get your own YouTube channel. Let's find out how to make a youtube channel and how to make it.

Why YouTube, you ask? Yes, because now biggest video hosting in the world and the most promising. But let's go in order.

YouTube is no exception. At first, everyone perceived him as pampering. Well, what could be there? Funny videos that are filmed by teenagers on a mobile phone, or politicians filmed on a hidden camera. That was the attitude.

But enterprising people have realized that the possibilities of YouTube are simply endless. And after it became possible to show ads in videos and thereby earn money, this social network was instantly included in the set of popular Internet earnings.

The Internet is filled with a huge amount of information and users, who a couple of years ago eagerly absorbed terabytes of printed posts, are now drowning in this sea of ​​information and have switched their attention to video. It is more visual, not stressful and much better absorbed. Therefore, the submission of the video format is considered the most promising direction compared to the rest.

Now that YouTube is one of the three most visited Internet resources in the world, it definitely needs to be given increased attention. Based on the above conclusions, there is no doubt about the need to create your own channel on YouTube video hosting.

Therefore, I am opening a series of articles on the topic of creating and promoting my YouTube channel, as well as promoting my Internet projects with it and monetizing my channel. It is also necessary to consider the issue of recruiting subscribers - this is perhaps the most important point. There will be no views - everything else can be left unattended. This is a very multifaceted topic and not as simple as it seems at first glance. In the future, I will consider this issue in more detail, so I recommend subscribing to blog updates.

So, today we will consider the initial stage - this is, directly, the creation of the channel itself. Okay, enough water, let's go.

How to make a channel on YouTube?

YouTube was acquired by Google a few years ago. Based on this, to create a channel, you need a Google+ account. We go into it and select YouTube (point 1). To create a new channel, select My channel (point 2).

You are prompted to specify a photo for registration (by default, the photo that is used in your Google+ account is placed). If you want to place another one, click Edit (point 1) and choose where to download it from. You can put a logo in place of the photo, which will show the thematic focus of the channel. We also indicate our user data (point 2). Click Continue.

Let's start setting up the channel header.

Let's figure out how to create our channel on YouTube

Consider the screenshot shown above. Let's add the design of the channel (point 1). Recommended background image size: 2560 x 1440. Such a large image is necessary for correct display on various types devices (computer, smartphone or TV). You can install it from the Internet, from your computer or choose from the gallery. We choose the latter.

You can, of course, take a hackneyed picture from the gallery, but I suggest you pay attention to. Here, at a ridiculous price, you can buy a stylized channel design. The purchase includes a channel design template and video covers in psd formats. That is, you can always change or add something to them in Photoshop.

What am I talking about, watch the video:

The channel has been designed, now let's move on to the settings of the links that will be displayed in the header. This is an important point, because if a visitor to your channel is interested in the content and wants to learn more about you, our links come in handy here. This is one of options getting a visitor to your Internet resource from YouTube.

Links look like two groups. The main resource is indicated (point 1) (you can specify your website, blog or) and the second group includes links to you in popular in social networks(there are a lot of them, you can choose the one you need from the list) (point 2). I indicate social networks popular in our country (Vkontakte, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). Decided. Click Finish (point 3).

It looks like this (as I mentioned, in two groups).

Now we will specify the description of our channel (item 1). This description is necessary for the visitor to understand what the channel is about. Therefore, it is necessary to briefly and succinctly describe its subject matter. The description will appear on home page your account. Click Finish (point 2).

Basic YouTube channel settings

Now let's look at the main points of the account. To do this, go to YouTube Settings (point 1). We are presented with the setup menu (item 2). We will return to it below. Let's go to Account information and click Advanced (point 3).

If you pay attention to the address bar, then your channel is indicated in it by an obscure set of letters. To make it more or less acceptable, press Create custom url. we are here ONLY 1 TIME we can specify how you would like your channel to be called.

IN Linked accounts we connect social networks to which cross-posting will take place after the video is published.

Now let's look at the configuration of the channel itself. There are several very important points here that I would like to draw your attention to.

See screenshot below.

To connect additional features to the created channel (custom video icons, working with ads, and so on), you need to confirm your account by phone (point 1). To do this, indicate its number and then, enter the numbers from the sent SMS.

At the very beginning, we can upload videos no longer than 15 minutes. Here we press the Enable button (point 2) to be able to upload longer videos.

After confirming your account, you will be able to create a channel trailer. Do not neglect this. You can make a small but bright video that will characterize the general direction of the channel. This requires an idea and imagination. You can make a video using various videos and graphic editors. I will also write about this in future articles.

In many ways, the success of the channel consists of the following components: the trailer, the design, the overall attractive style of the videos. Exactly so, and not from the videos themselves. Let them be the most useful in the world, but without a bright and defiant design, they will be left without attention.

Another interesting option is Channel Setup - In-Video Advertising. It will help to promote your brand or resource. Here you can specify the place where the so-called watermark (personal photo or logo) will appear during the show and will be a link to your channel with the number of subscribers. You can also define one PRIORITY video or playlist that will be displayed as link impressions on all your videos.

Also important functionality is presented in YouTube Analytics (point 1). Here we see the widest menu (item 2), which allows you to analyze the behavioral factors when viewing your videos, detailed information, activity, likes and comments. I will not describe in detail. There's nothing complicated.

In the next article, we will look at how to add a video to a YouTube channel.

Well, like everything. A lot of pictures and letters, well, nothing, the main result! Today we made a channel onYouTubeand figured out how to get your channel onYouTube. Now you can regularly “upload” high-quality videos and grow subscribers and views. How to do this, as well as how you can make money on it, we will consider in the following articles. So subscribe to blog updates. See you soon, bye!

Video on how to start a YouTube channel:

YouTube is the most popular video hosting in the world.

More than 500 million users visit the site every day, and monthly views are in the billions.

If you do not have a page, in the "Login" window, click on the field "Create an account" and follow further instructions service.

Remember! Without logging into your account, you will not be able to create a channel and start promoting it. Also, creating a YouTube page is not a personal channel. After updating the site in 2017, the developers removed the function of creating a channel along with the account. Now users need to create everything themselves.

More options for registered users:

• Favorite channel list management;
• Creation of playlists;
• Access to browsing history;
• Get recommendations for videos that will interest you. A personal feed is formed on the basis of existing subscriptions and videos that you watch most often;

• Ability to use built-in YouTube applications.

Create a channel

After creating your channel, you will be able to upload to video hosting, set up their monetization, view channel statistics and manage comments.

Follow instructions:

• Open the menu bar by pressing a special button in the upper left corner;
• Select the field "My channel";
• On the right side of the screen, click on "Create".

If you do not see the channel creation window, this means that your account was created a long time ago and you already have a personal channel.

You just need to learn how to use it correctly.

Multiple channels on one account

In the updated version of video hosting, the developers have provided the ability to link several channels to one account at once.

Previously, bloggers did not have such an opportunity, so they had to create several accounts.

With the linking function, it will be easier for you to remember only one “login-password” pair, with which you can enter the control window creative studio .

To create another channel, follow these steps:

• In the top right corner of the YouTube site click on the gear icon;

• In the list of actions that opens, select "Show all channels or create a new one";

• In the new window, click on "Create a channel" and follow the instructions of the service. It will be necessary to invent original name, choose a theme, region.

Linking social networks

This feature will allow subscribers to quickly find you on other resources.

Also, the binding allows you to synchronize recordings from YouTube, because in new version site, bloggers can add not only videos to the news feed of their subscribers, but also short text notes, news, reminders, and ordinary pictures.

In the site settings window, go to the tab "Linked Accounts" and set up social profiles.

In addition to adding content to YouTube, social media pages will display notifications of the following activities:

• Information about the new uploaded video with an active link;
• Playlist content update;
• Marks "I like";
• Save playlists from other channels.

Most Popular Vlog Topics

You know how to create your channel, but this is not enough to fully maintain your video blog.

YouTube is the most powerful video content creator platform ever.

The user chooses the topic of his channel at the stage of its creation. At any time, you can change the direction of the content in the settings.

Often, novice bloggers do not know what topic to start making videos on.

As a result, many people try to post everything in a row, use all trend directions.

This is an erroneous step, because in the end the channel will not have a complete picture, so the interest from subscribers and new viewers will be minimal.

List of the most popular channel directions in 2018:

• news (politics, show business, gaming industry);
• Let's play (from the English "Let's Play"). Entries gameplay with user comments. It can be both shooting reviews of new games, and showing walkthroughs for already known projects;
• Reviews and criticism . Quite an extensive topic, which includes all kinds of reviews on any product. In 2018, users prefer watching tech and movie reviews;
• Beauty blog . This direction concerns everything related to the topic of beauty, cosmetics and personal care;
• Music videos. Aspiring performers can start their promotion with . Decent videos quickly gain views, fall into trends and allow you to express yourself. Clips of world stars are viewed hundreds of millions of times every day. Note that the most popular videos in the history of the service are clips;
• Comedy shows and stand-ups. The genre of comedy attracts big number users, and to create content it is not necessary to have a large team of scriptwriters and actors. Many popular bloggers do all the work themselves (script writing, filming, editing, channel promotion) and this does not prevent them from gaining millions of views on each video;
• Conversational videos. This can also include the topic of news, but in a more expanded format. Bloggers of conversational content make reviews on newsworthy events and express their opinion. Moreover, the informational occasion can be both news from the Internet and from the same TV. This format allows novice bloggers to gain good views.

The topics above are great for creating personal video blogs featuring one or more people.

If you are the owner of a TV channel or want to create artistic content, it is better to assign the theme to your account "People".

Also, every year YouTube attracts a large number of news portals. Now many TV channels can be watched on video hosting. This is possible thanks to the live broadcast function. Showing the air in real time attracts users, and discussion in chats increases the rating of the channel.

Note that all the above topics are just a summary of YouTube channel statistics for 2018.

With the help of these directions and competent promotion, you can quickly gain an audience and monetize your channel.

Also, the user can post absolutely any video on the site.

It can be a lifestyle blog, various life hacks, cartoons, sewing workshops and anything else.

Such directions also have channels with millions, but the greatest activity of subscribers is represented precisely in the topics we have separately identified.

Change of appearance

Once you have chosen a topic for your channel, you can start promoting it.

The first step is to create unique design, which will be remembered by all visitors of the page.

The design includes the channel header and its avatar. All other elements will display the standard site style.

To go to your page, click on "Options" and "My channel". standard view empty channel looks like this:

As you can see, there is no avatar on the page and no design. Click on the appropriate button to add a header and main photo.

For an avatar, you can take any picture from your computer.

It can display the channel logo or be yours.

Where can I get the header for the channel:

• Select from YouTube's public storage;
• Find on the Internet. There are a lot of services for downloading YouTube caps of any subject;
• Create your own. When working with graphic editors, remember that there is a limit on the spacing size. It must have a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels and take up no more than 6 MB.

Examples of well-designed pages:

Working with settings

Immediately after creating the design, you can proceed to setting up the channel. To do this, click on the gear next to your name.

The new window has several configuration tabs.

General add-ons allow you to set a name, view mail, photo, select the type of account (standard or paid YouTube Red).

Earlier, we already considered how to set up synchronization of actions on YouTube and social networks in the linked accounts tab, so we will skip this tab.

Next section - Confidentiality.

In it, you can configure what your actions will be seen by other users. For example, information about liked videos is added to a separate playlist, which can be public or hidden.

The "Notifications" tab allows you to configure how you receive news from the channels you subscribe to. Also, there are fields for managing the mailing list and choosing the language of notifications.

In the window "Playback" annotations and subtitles are set up for your videos and for the videos of the channels you watch.

To synchronize your YouTube account with the TV screen, use the field "Connected TV", and the section "Invoices and Payments" allows you to manage purchases of various content within the site (licensed, transfers, and so on).

Hello dear friends! Dmitry Valiakhmetov is in touch with you once again. Today, it is probably very difficult to find an Internet user who has not heard of "YouTube" - the most popular resource with videos today. There are several billion accounts registered on this hosting.

This success of the service is easy to explain - YouTube is easy to use, optimized and completely free. But there is one more important feature, which attracts more and more new users. And it lies in the fact that you can make money on YouTube. Of course, there are people who create channels for their own pleasure.

Surely you also have some plans for YouTube. My task today is to explain to you in detail how to create a channel on YouTube. Simple instruction, supported by screenshots, will help you quickly create an account and master the main functions of the video service.

Today's post has been divided into three parts:

1. Registering an account for YouTube.

2. Channel creation.

3. Channel setup and YouTube features.

The channel allows you to communicate with other users, share interesting videos and other information. Also, a YouTube channel will help in promoting a brand and attracting new visitors to the main site. The channel may become the main project for some Internet users, as they become members of the affiliate program. For example, you can take video bloggers, various reviewers for movies, music, games and news. Every major website has its own YouTube channel. Whether it's a video game portal or a site dedicated to personal care.

After creating a channel, you can immediately upload your videos to the hosting, share content with other users, add your favorite videos, create playlists and leave comments under all videos. The affiliate program is a separate topic for which you need to write a separate article. Now the most important thing is to start working on the channel. Before we move on to the instructions, we advise you to read the recommendations on choosing the subject and the main direction of the channel.

Tips for Creating a Channel

Oh, yes, by the way, I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to read one very interesting article:

Before creating a channel on YouTube, the first thing you need to think about is what you want to convey to people. It should be interesting for you to share any knowledge, regardless of whether it is a commercial project or not. Success will only come if you take your channel seriously – we are talking about advertising, design and, of course, technology. It is unlikely that someone will be interested in your channel if the image is blurry and the microphone sound is of poor quality.

And now about the directions themselves:

Music videos. It can be various reviews new songs and clips, as well as demonstration of their music.

Video blogs in which you talk about the features of your life and share useful tips.

Games. This is a separate and very popular category. This includes the passage of games, short reviews and ratings, as well as "letsplays".

Humor videos. They can be animated or filmed live.

Instructions - from construction to computer settings.

You have appeared original idea that doesn't fit into any of these categories? Then this is a big plus, people are always interested in novelty. In any case, if you want to make a profit from the channel, you need to seriously prepare for work. It's about buying a quality camera and microphone. When it comes to videos with games, you should take care of upgrading your computer. We figured out the categories, now you can proceed to creating a channel. Let's look at how to create a YouTube channel step by step.

Step #1: Create a YouTube Login Account

First of all, we need to go to YouTube.com. To register and create a channel, you must click on the Login button, which is located in the upper right corner of the screen.

After that, you will be taken to the login page, where you will need to log in using your Google account.

Interesting! Now the largest YouTube video hosting is included in Google services, so you can create a channel using a shared account for Google services.

If you already have Google account, then enter your email address and password in the appropriate fields. Channel created! You can find out how to set it up in the next section of the article - go straight there. No account? Then we create it according to the instructions. Click on the "Create an account" button.

On the new page, we will see a lot of fields that need to be filled in. We recommend that you enter real data. This is especially important when entering into an affiliate program with YouTube. Enter your real name and surname, also do not change the date of birth. It concerns and mobile phone: Verification codes will be sent to it. If you enter an incorrect number, you will not be able to proceed further than registration, you will have to create a new account.

After filling in all the fields, check the box next to "I accept the Terms of Service and agree to the Google privacy policy." Now click on the "Next" button.

Done, now you have a Google account, enter your email address and password, and then you will be in YouTube. The next step is to create a channel.

Stage 2: creating a channel

Here you will be asked to verify your name. You can also use the name of the site or company to make it easier to find your videos. Click "Create Channel" and move on.

So you've landed on your channel. As you can see, creating a channel on YouTube is quite simple. If it takes no more than 10 minutes to register and create a channel, then you need to allocate more time for settings.

Stage number 3: channel setup

Channel design plays an important role. If you want other users to linger on your channel, you need to make an attractive appearance. To do this, click on the "Add channel design" button.

Here you can set the background for the channel - it can be an image suggested by YouTube, a photo from Google+, or a picture that you upload from your computer.

If you want to make a high-quality channel, then the picture should be exclusive. For example, for a gaming theme, you need to create a common original image, which will show the attributes of video games, heroes and other elements.

By clicking on this icon, you can set the basic settings. In the menu that opens, each option is described in detail. At the very beginning of your activity, it is not recommended to enter advanced settings, although you can study them for familiarization.

Now it is worth saying a few words about downloading videos. To add a new video to your channel, you need to click on the icon, which is located next to your profile icon.

On the main page, you will see a button to download the video. Please note that before uploading, you can set access parameters for future videos. For example, if this video is only for friends, then you should set limited access. Videos can be uploaded from your computer or imported from Google services. Also on YouTube there is a live broadcast (stream). You can play in real time or answer questions from fans. But as practice shows, most owners of successful channels broadcast live from other services, but this does not apply to our topic.

You found a suitable video (or made one) and started uploading. But then YouTube tells you that the duration is too long. Initially, you can upload videos no longer than 15 minutes. To increase this limit, you need to confirm your data. Click on the "Increase your limit" tab.

The procedure is completely free, you need to choose a confirmation method and enter the received code. It can be sent by voice message or SMS. Usually everyone chooses SMS, as the call from the YouTube robot sometimes does not go through.

Another useful application that YouTube has is the built-in video editor. Not everyone has the opportunity to buy expensive video processing software. The YouTube editor has all the necessary features: trimming, overlaying music, adding inserts, etc.

Before uploading a video, you can learn the main features and "explore" your new channel well. I also recommend studying videos of successful bloggers. You will see what techniques they use, how they design their channel, etc.

I am also attaching a video instruction on the topic “How to create a channel on YouTube” to your attention. Be sure to check it out.

YouTube has detailed help where you can learn how the affiliate program works and what you need to do it. So, we have considered how to create a channel on YouTube, then it's time to proceed to the next question.

How to make a video of high quality?

I have prepared a few more tips to help make the video quality:

Often users are faced with the problem of finding the right format. To save videos in the format you need, you do not need to buy expensive programs. Just download the free Movavi Video Converter.

The video will be brighter if you add musical accompaniment and titles. This can also be done using the Movavi converter or the standard YouTube editor. It is also worth taking care of smooth transitions and basic special effects that will make your video more interesting.

Before recording a video, set up your microphone and check that you can be heard clearly. This also applies to the camera - you should be clearly visible. The higher the video resolution, the better. The background is also an important point. It is best to choose neutral colors.
