Transcripts

- In this video, I'm going to show you how

to create a brand new YouTube channel

if you are a complete beginner.

From creating an account to all

of the key channel settings to get right

so that don't hold you back, turning you into a YouTube pro,

before you even press record.

This step-by-step guide covers all

of the latest updates in 2024

and will tell you the most important things to focus on

as you start your YouTube adventure.

And here is the biggest, most important tip of them all.

Stop thinking about it. Stop putting it off.

Let's start right now.

We'll work on the assumption

that you haven't got a YouTube account

or that you want to create a new one.

Go to youtube.com

and then at the top right hand corner of the screen,

click on the sign in button.

Because YouTube is a Google product,

you will need to create a Google account.

In this example, we're going to create an account for work

or business and we'll explain why very soon.

Hi, I'm Rob, by the way. Welcome to VidIQ.

I'll be your guide throughout this video.

Forgive these some more eccentric glasses.

You'll get used to them.

I just want to let you know

that this video is a safe space.

If you are brand new to YouTube,

there are no stupid questions,

so pop them in the comments below

and we'll do our best to answer them all,

and you'll also find tons of links to resources

that are going to help you set up your YouTube channel in

the video description, so make sure to check them out.

The next couple of screens will be bog standard

form filling stuff.

You can either choose an existing email account

or create a Gmail account, which is another Google product.

Again, in this example,

we are setting up a brand new email account

because we want to treat our YouTube channel as a business

separate from our personal accounts.

There's another important reason coming

up why you should do this.

As for your account password, yeah,

that's something I can't directly help you with.

Just make it a little more secure than this.

You may also be asked

to verify your account with a phone number.

This might seem annoying right now,

but it will help secure your account

and it is essential for your YouTube channel

as you'll discover later on.

Now you have a YouTube account,

you can now create a YouTube channel,

and this is where the creativity,

customization, and fun starts.

First up is your channel name.

This can be anything you want.

Next is your channel handle, which can be anything you want

as long as it's uniquely available on YouTube.

No two handles can be the same,

and this isn't a permanent commitment to Eva.

Both can be changed in the future, if you need to.

You will need to upload a profile picture next,

which will be a round shape on YouTube,

so find something appropriate, silly, or just cool.

So channel name and channel handle.

What's the difference?

Well, your channel name is just

that it appears on the front page of your channel homepage

and also under thumbnails

for your videos dotted around YouTube.

Your channel handle is like your social media name

on YouTube.

It can also be used to find a channel, for example,

youtube.com/@vidIQ,

and your YouTube handle is displayed, not your channel name

when you post a comment on a video.

Think of it like this,

there can be many channels called Mr. Beast,

but there can only be one at Mr. Beast on YouTube.

As for deciding on a YouTube channel name,

my advice is to keep it simple,

make it memorable and easy to spell.

It also needs to be unique so you don't blend in with all

of the other creators

who thought this was a good channel name.

We've all of that been said, you should now have the bare

bones essential of your YouTube channel,

which looks like this.

Yes, not much to look at right now, but you do have a new

and important update on your profile picture,

which is the YouTube studio link.

So let's head on over there.

While there is a lot to take in here,

only one thing matters right now.

The second most important thing you're going to do today

after creating your YouTube channel.

So go to settings,

then channel, then feature eligibility.

You must verify your YouTube channel

to unlock mission critical features,

those being able to upload videos longer than 15 minutes

and adding custom thumbnails to your videos.

And just like last time,

you'll need a phone number to do it.

Verifying your YouTube channel is also the first step

to unlocking advanced features,

which will allow you to upload more content to the channel

and monetize it in the future.

But let's worry about all of that tomorrow.

All right, next up we need to take a look at all

of the essential channel features that if you get right now,

you can pretty much set and forget.

So go back into the settings

and this time you want to go to upload defaults

and then check out visibility.

This setting automatically determines what happens

to a video when it's finished uploaded to YouTube,

and it should never, I repeat, never be set to public.

You will always want to prepare a video

before making it public.

Writing a title, a description, uploading thumbnails,

and all of that takes time.

So set this to either unlisted or ideally private.

That means only you can see the video on YouTube

until you make it public.

And while you're on this screen, you may want to go

to the advanced tab and check out comment moderation.

If you hate negativity

or your content is likely to attract unwanted trolls.

Set this too strict.

This next one is important.

If you make content of it's aimed towards children,

you'll find it under the advanced settings

of each channel section.

You must declare if the content is made for kids.

As YouTube got in a lot

of trouble over this a few years back.

The result of this massive fine is

that YouTube is now very cautious when it comes

to content made for kids.

If you incorrectly state whether

or not your content is made for kids,

you could get in a lot of trouble

and your channels could be terminated.

Now, whether or not you make content for kids,

if you don't answer this question here,

you'll have to answer it every time you upload a video.

So it's best to set a default answer here

after you've read all of the help articles on this topic.

One last thing to mention in the settings for now,

and that's permissions.

This allows you to invite people to help support, maintain,

and manage your YouTube channel.

You can assign people different roles on the channel,

and the key to these permissions is

that they only have access to your YouTube channel,

not your entire Google account.

Let's work on this positive assumption, shall we?

Your YouTube channel is going to be a success.

In the future,

you'll have people helping you run your channel

and you'll have lots of people wanting to contact you,

and that's why we recommend setting up your channel

as a business with digital separation from

your personal accounts.

And now we're going to show you another reason why you need

to be security conscious

as we explore a little bit more of this YouTube studio.

Head straight on over to the customization screen

and click on the basic info tab.

As mentioned earlier,

you can change your YouTube channel name and handle,

and this is where you can do that.

But more importantly right now is your contact info

at the bottom of this screen.

This is an email address,

but it's publicly displayed on YouTube.

So whatever you do, make sure it's not the same email

as the one you use to log into your YouTube channel,

because basically if you do that,

half of your security is compromised.

What the hell?

Let's get back to some proper channel setup.

Now with the channel description box

that's on the same screen,

when people visit your channel on a desktop browser

or through the YouTube mobile app,

they'll see the first eight

or so characters of your description, so make it count.

Our advice is to don't waste these important lines

talking about yourself.

Instead, talk about the value you're going to deliver

to the viewer and then flesh out the rest of the description

with keywords that will help YouTube

to understand a little bit more about your channel.

Back to more visual elements of the channel

now in the branding tab.

You've already uploaded a profile picture.

Now for your channel banner,

don't overcomplicate your banner.

It needs to communicate to the viewer as quickly

and as simply as possible if they are

in the right place or not.

Use objects that relate to your topic.

Think about a color scheme

and design style that will match your thumbnails

to build branding and create a memorable slogan

or value proposition that speaks the language

of your target audience.

A basic principle to follow for your channel as a whole

and with every single video you make is this.

You want to get the viewer to say to themselves as quickly

as possible, ah, this channel

or this video was made for me.

Go on a minute. You felt like that, haven't you?

When you've watched certain videos on YouTube

from your favorite creators.

And your channel banner represents a good opportunity

to put this into practice.

Something that you do need to be aware of

with channel banners are the dead zones

where the edges will get sliced off

in the YouTube mobile app.

So keep everything important centered

in the middle of a channel banner.

When you upload a banner, it will show you

how the banner will look on different devices,

and as you can see in this example,

some graphics will be invisible to those

looking at the channel on a mobile phone.

Below the channel banner is the video watermark,

and we're going to keep this really simple

and give you this one to use.

It appears in the bottom right hand corner of the screen

and is a call to action to subscribe

to your YouTube channel.

It's quite an old outdated feature at this point,

and you don't get that many subscribers from it,

but it's linked in the description if you wanna download it.

To round off the customization screen,

we have the layout options,

but since you haven't uploaded any videos yet,

there's nothing to layout yet.

So instead, I'll mention the next screen in the menu,

which is the audio library.

This will give you access to free music

and sound effects that you can download

and use in your videos without worrying

about copyright claims.

(upbeat music)

♪ Don't be scared ♪

Another screen many of you will be keen

to look at is the earn screen.

This will show you everything you need

to know about monetization,

including those all important requirements.

It will track your progress to these milestones

and notify you when they are reached.

Also note, there is another security feature here

that you should turn on,

and it's two factor authentication.

You'll need to have it on to monetize your channel.

Now, there is a relatively new threshold for monetization

that requires less subscribers, less watch time,

or less short views as you can see on screen now.

But this lower tier of monetization

does not unlock ad revenue for your channel.

That my creator friends, is a whole video in itself,

which we've already made on the channel.

As for everything else in the YouTube studio,

content management, analytics

and video comments, well, there isn't much to see yet,

as it all depends on you taking

that big creative leap of faith and making a video.

All right, we're at the business end of YouTube now,

making videos people actually want to watch.

So here's four pro tips

to help you get started on the right footing.

Be focused, ask yourself these two questions.

Who should be watching my videos

and why should they be watching my videos?

This will become your target audience

and your value proposition and help you stay focused.

Curiosity and emotion is far more important

than SEO and video tags.

Don't just cram your videos full of keywords

and only appeal to search base queries.

Tap into the desires, goals, fears

and stories your audience crave.

Titles and thumbnails are way more important

than what you think right now.

Everyone sees these two elements of your video.

They are the packaging, so spend time on them

and if possible, create them

before you even start your video.

But most importantly of all, get creative.

Stop watching videos about YouTube

and start YouTubeing yourself.

You need to discover whether or not you like making videos,

and I can assure you that in six months time,

you'll look back on your first videos and cringe,

and that's a good thing

because you'll be a far better creator

because you've got your hands creatively dirty.

I'll put it to you like this. Nothing beats experience.

If you do want to delve more

into the creative side of things,

we do have this complete Beginner's Guide to YouTube,

which is crammed full of 150 tips.

Otherwise, welcome to YouTube.

Now go change the world.
