We all know one of the most visited sites in the world is Youtube! And many people have a question: “How to create a channel on YouTube and upload your first video.”
This is exactly what we will talk about today.
The first thing you need to create a channel is to register an account with Google. The fact is that now the youtube service belongs to Google and in order to use any of their services, including youtube, you need to have your own account.
Go to the website www.youtube.com and then click on the blue “Login” button, which is located in the upper right corner of the browser window. After this, YouTube will prompt you to select an account from the existing ones. Those. if you already have a Google account, then you simply select it and move on. If you do not have an account yet, then you need to click on the “Create an account” link.
How to create an account on google.
So, you clicked on the “create an account” link and went to a page with a registration form. There are two options here:
1. Create an account in Google with your email address or
2. Create a new gmail account along with your account (mail service from Google).
Carefully fill in all the fields and enter the captcha (enter the numbers from the picture)
Be sure to include your mobile phone number, it will be used only for technical purposes, for example, to recover the password from your account via SMS.
Google may then ask you to verify your account. A window will appear as in the screenshot below:
If in the previous step you did not indicate your mobile phone number, then you need to do this now, and please note that you need to enter the number as shown in the example. After you enter the number and click the “Continue” button, you should receive an SMS message with a verification code on your phone. Enter this code in the special field:
Please note that it can take up to 15 minutes for the code to be sent, so don't worry if you don't receive the code right away.
Accordingly, instead of my name, yours will be written there.
After this, you need to add a profile photo. To do this, click on the “Add photo” link.
We select a previously prepared photo on the computer and insert it. You can also take a photo from your webcam.
Please note that along the edges of the selected photo there are special markers (white squares) that you can drag while holding the left mouse button. That. You can customize your google profile photo more precisely.
Click the “Set as profile photo” button and then the “Next” button.
All! Our account has been created, with which, in fact, Google congratulates us :) Now click on the “Back to Youtube service” button.
How to create a channel on youtube
After creating an account in Google, we returned to the youtube service and it offers us several popular channels for subscription. The channels are divided into categories and you can choose the one you like and subscribe to it, after which you will be notified when new videos are released on this channel. If you do not want to subscribe yet, click the “Next” button.
After this, Youtube will offer several more popular channels:
Pay attention to the checkbox below - “I want to receive information about updates on the Youtube website, as well as tips and suggestions.” If you do not want to receive messages from the youtube service by email and not clog up your mail, you can uncheck this box and click on the “Save” button.
The next step is that YouTube “asks” us how we want to use it: name our channel the same as the previously created Google profile or come up with a new name specifically for the channel. Here the choice is yours. For example, if you are a representative of a campaign, then you register a Google account in your name, and name the channel with the name of the company. If the first option suits you, then just click the “Ok” button.
If the second option suits you, then you need to click on the link “To use a company name or another name, click here.”
After this, click the “Ok” button. In this article I will consider the second option, when the channel name is different from the google account name. Those. my account is called “Opekun Alexander”, and I will give the channel a different name, for example “Opekuntestchanel”.
1. Specify the name of the channel;
3. Check the box agreeing to the terms of use of the pages;
1. Make sure your country is selected, if not, select it from the list;
2. Enter your mobile phone number;
After this you will be redirected to the following page:
They write to us that the channel has been successfully added to our account. Pay attention to the blue square in the channel header, because... I created a separate name for the channel, then the photo will need to be specified separately. Those who have chosen to use their channel in the same way as a profile and name the channel with the name of the profile will have their profile photo substituted.
You may also notice small hints in the form of pop-up windows. You can read these tips and click the “Next” button to switch them.
How to add a video to youtube
The channel has been created and now we just need to figure out how to add videos. In the upper right corner of the site there is a button “Add video”, click it.
After this, a window pops up in which we can add a video, but do not rush to do this. Because we just created a channel, youtube allows us to upload videos no longer than 15 minutes. To increase this limit, you need to click on the link “Increase your limit.”
You need to do one more account confirmation:
1. Choose your country
2. Select the item “Send SMS with code”
3. Indicate your mobile phone number
Enter the verification code from the SMS message and click the “Send” button. Next, Youtube congratulates us and informs us that our account has been verified. Click the “Continue” button. We now have the ability to upload videos longer than 15 minutes!
After that, click on the “Add video” button again. Next, click on the arrow indicated in the picture below:
Please note that when downloading a video, the title of the video (marked as number 1 in the screenshot) is filled with the name of the file itself that you are downloading. You can change the title of the video on YouTube, but I recommend that you initially name your video files the same way as you plan to name the video on your channel on YouTube - this will increase its ranking in the site’s search results.
The next point is that you can choose for whom this video will be available:
1. For everyone - this means that your video can be found through search by any Internet user.
3. Personal - with this option, only you, as the owner of the channel, will be able to view the video.
After you have chosen who can see your video, you can also specify a description of the video and tags (keywords) and then click the “Publish” button.
At the very top of the page, the progress of downloading and processing the video is displayed, as soon as it says “PROCESSING COMPLETE”, your video becomes available for viewing on YouTube if you clicked the “Publish” button. If processing is complete and you have not published the video, it is not yet available for viewing.
After processing is completed, you will see the following window:
Almost every user has an account on popular social networks, communities, and video channels. The most popular channel among Internet users is YouTube. on YouTube, how to design and promote your videos, we will look at this in this article.
Why do you need your own YouTube channel?
For different purposes:
- blog promotion and attracting traffic to your resource;
- promotion of your brand and business;
- earnings from advertising;
- promotion to the top due to the link mass.
Thanks to interesting or educational videos, you can get decent traffic from YouTube every month. The main thing is to know some of the features of posting video clips and promoting them in the first day.
If you manage your channel correctly, you can promote your brand and increase sales through traffic. You can earn money through Google Adsense advertising or the YouTube affiliate program, but to do this you need to make your channel popular.
By the way, if you leave links to your resources on YouTube, you can promote your site to the top, and thereby increase traffic or sales. But to achieve these goals, it is not enough to create a channel. Designing a channel on YouTube and promoting videos also requires special attention, but we’ll talk about these nuances below.
Before creating a channel on youtube , decide on its topic. So far, there are 5 areas on YouTube: for entertainment videos (director's and music), for humorous videos (comedy), for scientific, educational (educational) and secular videos (journalistic). In the latter case, not only famous events or the lives of popular people are covered, but also forums.

- upload videos.
Please note that you make any settings in the control panel (you will find this tab at the top of your channel, where is the “Add video” button (triangle)). As you can see, creating a channel on youtube.com is very simple. It's just as easy to add videos.
But there are 2 things to remember about clips:
- select thematic key queries by which users will find your video;
- in the first 24 hours you need to get the maximum number of views for your video in order to get into the leading positions.
And one more important point - you need to constantly develop the channel: add videos, respond to comments, attract traffic to your videos. This is especially important if you are using YouTube to promote your business, so before creating a channel on YouTube , Conduct analytical research to collect information about your competitors. This will help you avoid mistakes and plan your steps correctly.
Create your YouTube channel and today anyone with a computer and an Internet connection can share videos with the world. With the right approach, a melon service can become both an effective tool for promoting your website or business, and a good source of income.
Creating a channel on YouTube and posting your video there does not require any specific skills.
For what purposes do you need YouTube channel, this is your personal business, and I will just show you how to create it quickly and easily. But before we get started, I should explain one thing to you.
YouTube itself is owned by Google. And Google has everything in one place. That is, if you want to start using mail, maps, or other services from Google, then you will need to create just one account and use a login and password for all these services. The YouTube video service is no exception.
So, in order to create a channel on YouTube, we need to register with Google, and then simply use your email address and password to log into your YouTube channel. Let's do this right now
Creating a Google account for a YouTube channel!
At the end I have the inetkomp prefix. To make your own URL for the channel, follow a couple of steps.
Go to “YouTube Settings” by again clicking on that arrow in the upper right corner of the site.

https://www.youtube.com/inetkomp ,
where I post new video tutorials for the site.
See you later!
I've been noticing this trend lately. If I type a phrase in the search bar of the browser and then go to the search results, the first thing I do is look at what is in the search results from the video. I got lazy or something, 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 a scientific fact. Judging by the growth in the number of videos on the Internet, I’m not the only one who noticed this. Since such a wave has started, it’s time to start your own YouTube channel. Let's figure it out how to make a YouTube channel and how to design it.
Why on YouTube, you ask? Yes, because now it is the largest video hosting in the world and the most promising. But let's take things in order.
YouTube was no exception. At first, everyone perceived it as pampering. Well, what could be there? Cool videos that teenagers shoot on their mobile phones, or politicians filmed on a hidden camera. That was the attitude.
But enterprising people realized that the possibilities of YouTube are simply endless. And after it became possible to show advertising in videos and thereby earn money, this social network was instantly included in the set of popular online earnings.
The Internet is filled with a huge amount of information and users who just a couple of years ago greedily absorbed terabytes of printed posts have now drowned in this sea of information and switched their attention to video. It is more visual, less stressful and much better absorbed. Therefore, serving in video format is considered the most promising direction compared to others.
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 the help of 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 do 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 channel on YouTube?
YouTube was acquired by Google several years ago. Based on this, to create a channel, you need an account on Google+. We go into it and select YouTube (step 1). To create a new channel, select My channel (step 2).
You are asked 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 Change (step 1) and choose where to load it from. You can place a logo in place of the photo, which will show the thematic focus of the channel. We also indicate your user data (point 2). Click Continue.
Let's start setting up the channel header.
Let's figure out how to design our channel on YouTube
Look at the screenshot shown above. Let's add channel design (point 1). Recommended background image size: 2560 x 1440. Such a large image is necessary for correct display on various types of devices (computer, smartphone or TV). You can install it from the Internet, from your computer, or select it from the gallery. Let's choose the latter.
You can, of course, take a well-worn picture from the gallery, but I suggest you pay attention to. Here you can buy stylized channel design at a ridiculous price. 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 saying, watch the video:
The channel has been designed, now let's move on to setting up the links that will be displayed in the header. This is an important point, because if a visitor to your channel becomes interested in the content and wants to learn more about you, this is where our links will come in handy. This is one of the possible options for getting visitors to your Internet resource from YouTube.
The links appear in two groups. The main resource is indicated (point 1) (you can indicate your website, blog or) and the second group includes links to you on popular social networks (there are a lot of them, you can choose the one you need from the list) (point 2). I indicate popular social networks in our country (VKontakte, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram). We have decided. Click Finish (step 3).
It looks like this (as I already mentioned, in two groups).
Now let's indicate the description of our channel (point 1). This description is necessary so that the visitor understands what the channel is about. Therefore, you need to briefly and succinctly describe its topic. The description will appear on the main page of your account. Click Finish (step 2).
Basic YouTube channel settings
Now let's look at the main points of the account. To do this, go to YouTube Settings (step 1). We are presented with the setup menu (point 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, your channel is indicated in it by an obscure set of letters. To make it more or less acceptable, click Create custom url. here we ONLY 1 TIME We can indicate what you would like your channel to be called.
IN Linked accounts We connect social networks to which cross-posting will occur after the video is published.
Now let's look at setting up the channel itself. There are several very important points here that I would like to draw attention to.
See the screenshot below.
To connect additional functions to the created channel (custom video icons, working with advertising, etc.), you need to confirm your account by phone (step 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. Don't neglect this. You can make a small but bright video that will characterize the general focus of the channel. This requires an idea and imagination. You can make a video using various video and graphic editors. I will also write about this in future articles.
In many ways, the success of a channel consists of the following components: trailer, design, overall attractive style of the videos. That's right, and not from the videos themselves. Even if they are the most useful in the world, but without a bright and provocative design, they will remain unnoticed.
Another interesting option is in Channel setup – In-Video advertising placement. It will help you promote your 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.
Also important functionality is presented in YouTube Analytics (point 1). Here we see a wide menu (item 2), which allows you to analyze behavioral factors when viewing your videos, detailed information, activity, likes and comments. I won't describe it in detail. There's nothing complicated there.
In the next article we will look at how to add videos to a YouTube channel.
Well, that seems to be it. Lots of pictures and letters, but nothing, the main thing is the result! Today we made a channel onYouTubeand figured out how to register your channel onYouTube. Now you can regularly upload high-quality videos and gain subscribers and views. We will consider how to do this, as well as how you can make money from this, in the following articles. Therefore, subscribe to blog updates. See you soon, bye!
