Recent times I notice this tendency. If I type a phrase in the search bar of the browser, and then go to the search results, then first of all I look at what is in the output from the video. I’m lazy, I don’t know. But it's not about me, it's 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 was not the only one who noticed this. Since such a wave has begun, it's time to acquire your own YouTube channel. Let's take it apart how to make a YouTube channel and how to design it.

Why on YouTube, you ask? Yes, because now it is largest video hosting in the world and the most promising. But let's start in order.

YouTube is no exception. At first, everyone perceived him as self-indulgence. Well, what could be there? Cool videos that teenagers shoot on a mobile phone, or politicians filmed on a hidden camera. That was the attitude.

But adventurous 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, instantly this social network was 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 have now drowned in this sea of ​​information and turned their attention to video. It is more visual, not stressful and much better absorbed. Therefore, it is the video format that 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 your channel on YouTube, as well as promoting your Internet projects with it and monetizing your channel. It is also necessary to consider the issue of recruiting subscribers - this is perhaps the most important point... There will be no views - you don't have to deal with everything else. 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 YouTube channel?

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 provide a photo for registration (by default, the photo that is used in your Google+ account is placed). If you want to place another, click Change (point 1) and choose where to download it from. You can place 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 design our YouTube channel

Check out the screenshot above. Let's add the decoration of the channel (point 1). Recommended background image size: 2560 x 1440. This large image is necessary for correct display on different 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 you can buy a stylized channel design for a ridiculous price. The package includes a template for channel design and a cover for the video 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 for 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 know more about you, this is where our links come in handy. This is one of possible options getting a visitor to your Internet resource from YouTube.

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

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

Now we will indicate the description of our channel (point 1). This description is necessary for the visitor to understand what the channel is about. Therefore, you need 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 take a 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 incomprehensible set of letters. To make it more or less acceptable, press Create custom url... here we ONLY 1 TIME we can specify how you would like your channel to be named.

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

Now let's take a look at setting up the channel itself. There are several very important points to which I would like to draw your attention.

See the screenshot below.

To connect additional functions to the created channel (custom video icons, work with ads, and so on), you must 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 for no more than 15 minutes. Here we click the Enable button (point 2) to be able to download longer videos.

After confirming your account, you will be able to create a channel trailer. This should not be neglected. You can make a small but bright video that will characterize the overall 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 the following articles.

In many ways, the success of the channel is made up of the following components: the trailer, the design, the overall attractive style of the videos. That's right, 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 unattended.

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

The same important functionality is presented in YouTube Analytics (point 1). Here we see the broadest menu (item 2), which allows you to analyze behavioral factors when watching your videos, detailed information, activity, likes and comments. I will not describe in detail. Nothing complicated there.

In the next article, we'll take a look at how to add videos to your YouTube channel.

Well, that's all. A lot of pictures and letters, well, nothing, the main thing is the result! Today we have made a channel onYoutubeand figured out how to design 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. Therefore, 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.

Login to YouTube account

To start watching videos on YouTube, you just need to go to the site and start playing.

If you want to be able to subscribe to channels, write comments, like or create your own channel - register a personal account.

For users who already have account in the system, it is enough to enter YouTube with the previously created username and password from Google.

To do this, go to the main page of the video hosting and in the upper right corner click on the "Login" field:

In the new window enter email address or the phone number associated with your account. Then click Next:

The system will automatically detect your name and show you an avatar. To start using your profile, you just need to enter your password. Note that YouTube "remembers" all your authorizations from anyone. At any time you can change the user without the need to enter your mail and password.

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 channel creation function along with the account. Now users need to create everything themselves.

More options for registered users:

• Favorite channel list management;
• Playlists creation;
• Access to browsing history;
• Receive video recommendations that will interest you. A personal feed is formed on the basis of existing subscriptions and videos that you watch most often;
• Channel creation;
• Ability to use built-in YouTube applications.

Channel creation

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

Follow the instructions:

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

If you do not have a window for creating a channel, 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 the video hosting, the developers have provided the ability to link several channels at once to one account.

Previously, bloggers did not have this opportunity, so they had to create multiple accounts.

With the bind function, it will be easier for you to remember only one pair of "login-password", with which you can enter the control window Creative studio .

To create another channel, follow these steps:

• In the upper 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 channel" and follow the instructions of the service. It will be necessary to come up with original name, choose a topic, region.

Linking social networks

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

Also, the binding allows you to synchronize records 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.

Besides adding content to YouTube, notifications about such actions will be displayed on social media pages:

• Information about the newly uploaded video with an active link;
• Updating the content of playlists;
• "Like" marks;
• Saving playlists from other channels.

Most Popular Video Blog Themes

You know how to create your own channel, but this is not enough for the full-fledged maintenance of your video blog.

Youtube Is the most powerful video content creator platform ever.

The user chooses the theme 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 filming videos on.

As a result, many try to lay out everything in a row, use all the trend directions.

This is a wrong step, because as a result, 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 destinations in 2018:

• news (politics, show business, game industry);
• Let-play (from the English "Let’s Play"). Recordings gameplay with user comments. This can be both shooting reviews of new games, and showing walkthroughs to already known projects;
• Reviews and criticism ... Quite an extensive topic, which includes all kinds of reviews for any product. In 2018, users prefer watching reviews of technology and films;
• Beauty blog ... This direction applies to everything related to the topic of beauty, cosmetics and personal care;
• Music videos. Novice performers can start their advancement with the help. Decent videos quickly gain views, hit trends and make themselves known. 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 just clips;
• Comedy shows and stand-ups. Comedy genre attracts big number users, and to create content it is not necessary to have a large team of writers and actors. Many popular bloggers do all the work on their own (writing a script, shooting, editing, promoting a channel) and this does not prevent them from gaining millions of views for each video;
• Conversational videos. This can include the topic of news, but in a more expanded format. Conversational bloggers review news feeds, express their opinions. Moreover, an informational occasion can be both news from the Internet and from the same TV. This format allows budding bloggers to gain good views.

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

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

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 streaming function. Live streaming attracts users, and chatting boosts the channel's rating.

Note that all of 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 whatever.

Such directions also have millionaire channels, but the greatest activity of subscribers is presented precisely in the topics we have separately highlighted.

Change of design

After you have chosen a theme for your channel, you can start promoting it.

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

The design includes the channel header and its avatar. All other elements will reflect 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, the page has no avatar and no design. Click on the corresponding key to add a header and main photo.

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

It can display a channel logo or be yours.

Where to get the header for the channel:

• Select from public YouTube storage;
• Find it on the internet. There are a lot of services for downloading YouTube hats of any topic;
• Create yourself. When working with graphic editors, remember that there is a limitation on the size of the spat. 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, photos, select the type of account (standard or paid YouTube Red).

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

The next section is 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 the mode of receiving news from the channels to which you are subscribed. Also, there are fields for managing mailing lists and selecting the notification language.

In the window "Playback" customizable annotations and subtitles for your videos and videos of the channels that you watch.

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

Hello dear friends! Once again Dmitry Valiakhmetov is in touch with you. Probably, today, it is very difficult to find an Internet user who has not heard of "YouTube" - the most popular resource with video recordings today. This hosting has several billion registered accounts.

The success of the service is easy to explain - YouTube is user-friendly, 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.

You probably have some plans for YouTube too. 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 basic functions of the video service.

I have broken down today's article into three stages:

1. Registering an account for YouTube.

2. Channel creation.

3. Channel setup and YouTube capabilities.

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 participants in the affiliate program. For example, you can take video bloggers, various reviewers for movies, music, games and news. Any large site has its own YouTube channel. Whether it's a video game portal or a personal care site.

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

Tips for creating a channel

Oh, yes, by the way, taking this opportunity, I would like 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 - it comes about advertising, design and, of course, technology. It is unlikely that anyone will be interested in your channel if the image is blurry, and the sound of the microphone is of poor quality.

And now about the directions themselves:

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

Video blogs in which you talk about the peculiarities of your life and divider with useful tips.

Games. This is a separate and very popular category. This includes passing games, short overviews and evaluations, as well as "letsplay".

Humorous videos. They can be animated or filmed live.

Instructions - from construction to computer settings.

You got original idea that does not 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 profit from the channel, you need to seriously prepare for work. It is about buying a quality camera and microphone. When it comes to video 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.

Stage # 1: creating a YouTube account

The first thing we need to do is 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 with your Google account.

Interesting! Now the largest video hosting YouTube 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. The channel has been created! You can find out how to set it up in the next section of the article - go straight there. Don't have an 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. We recommend that you enter real data. This is especially important when concluding an affiliate program with YouTube. Enter your real name and surname, and you shouldn't change your date of birth either. Concerning this and mobile phone: Confirmation codes will be sent to it. If you enter the wrong number, you will not be able to progress further than registration, you will have to create a new account.

After completing all the fields, check the box next to "I accept the Terms of Service and agree to the Google Privacy Policy." Now we click on the "Next" button.

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

Stage number 2: channel creation

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

So, you got to your channel. As you can see, creating a YouTube channel 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 the settings.

Stage # 3: channel setup

The design of the channel plays an important role. If you want other users to stay 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 create a high-quality channel, then the picture must be exclusive. For example, for a gaming theme, you need to create a general original image, which will show the attributes of video games, heroes and other elements.

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

Now it's worth saying a few words about video uploading. To add a new video to your channel, you need to click on the icon 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 the future video. For example, if this video is only for friends, then you should set limited access. Videos can be downloaded 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 downloading. But then YouTube tells you that the duration is too long. Initially, you can upload videos for no more than 15 minutes. To increase this limit, you need to verify your details. 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 features you need: trimming, overlaying music, adding inserts, and more.

Before uploading a video, you can learn the basic functions and thoroughly "explore" your new channel. I also recommend that you study the videos of successful bloggers. You will see what tricks they use, how they style their channel, etc.

Also for your attention I am attaching a video instruction on the topic - "How to create a channel on YouTube." Be sure to check it out.

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

How to make a video of high quality?

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

Users are often faced with the problem of finding a suitable format. You don't need to buy expensive software to save videos in the format you need. All you have to do is download the free Movavi Video Converter.

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

Before recording video, set up your microphone and check to see if you can clearly hear. 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.
