How to Create a YouTube Channel Properly
1- Create a YouTube/Google account
Before we continue, watch this little video to make sure you understand the fundamentals.
2- For your YouTube channel, establish a brand account.
You must set up a brand account, often known as a business channel. This will enable you to manage your channel yourself or with assistance in the future.
To develop a brand name, adhere to the processes listed below:
Log in to your YouTube profile.
access your channel list.
Establish a new channel.
That's all! Type in your brand account name (choose a decent one).
You currently possess a Brand Account channel.
Let’s make it pretty now, shall we?
the Customize Channel, please.
You must create a channel icon and artwork.
YouTube Channel Art
The YouTube channel advises that the file size of your cover photo be 6MB and that its dimensions be 2560 x 1440 pixels (maximum).
My suggestion is to just go to Fiverr and pay someone to do it for you for $5 to $10.
Spend little time or money here. You want to modify, and you can simply do so in the future.
Channel Icon for YouTube
YouTube loves it when your channel icon matches your Google account symbol.
Change your profile photo, which will also appear as a channel icon, by going to Google About Me.
It's simple, but you may get assistance from someone who is more familiar with the process than you are.
Fill out the form in the "about" section to move on to the next stage.
You must have a unique URL for your channel after your account satisfies the following conditions.
Something like youtube.com/ChannelName
a minimum of 100 subscribers
a minimum of 30 days old
use a picture you've submitted as your channel's icon
have put the channel's artwork online
Visit the Google Support Page to view the entire procedure.
Add and promote videos to your YouTube channel
You must take action that seems professional if you want to ensure that your efforts are successful. We don't want to just post movies and fade away into the background like millions of others.
So let’s do this the right way.
Upload videos
Any YouTube website may be accessed by clicking the Upload video icon in the upper right to add videos to your channel.
then drag your video here or upload it.
Prior to clicking the publish button, the title, description, and tags must be included.
Your video's ranking on YouTube was determined by a variety of variables. Your initial attention should be directed toward the following, in order:
Title;
Description;
Thumbnail – Click-Through-Rate (CTR); and
Tags
The maximum length for the title and description is 5000 characters for the description and 100 characters for the title.
To accurately count the words you are writing before uploading them to YouTube, I advise utilising the free tool WordCounter.
Title
As you have previously seen, the YouTube video title may contain up to 100 characters. However, I advise having no more than 40 to 70.
Otherwise, these are enormous characters for a mobile user.
Consider that you are posting a video on how to prepare a vegan meal.
Going to the Tags area and entering your keywords "vegan dinner" or "how to + your keyword" can help you come up with the finest title possible. Then VidIQ will suggest suitable search terms
or…
When in doubt, it will be wiser to choose a title from the list of suggestions. For instance, vegan burger preparation.
Pro+ tip: Adding (step-by-step) to your YouTube affiliate marketing video can significantly enhance your CTR.
Therefore, your final title may be something like How to prepare a vegan burger in 2022.
Description
The title is accurate. Well done! You need to finish the description right away. You can use up to 5,000 characters, and I suggest doing so.
This is cash. You should insert your affiliate links here.
Again, just pay $5 to $10 on Fiverr to hire someone to write it for you if you're not much of a writer.
Your engine will run on keywords, but what should you do if you don't know which ones to use? Use a different VidlQ
For example, Re-enter the tags with the keywords "vegan burger" from your title to see what results appear.
Include two or three of the recommended keywords in your description. Simply email these keywords to your gig on Fiverr, and they'll be included to the description.
Pro tip: Your rank will increase if the keywords are included in the first couple of lines of the description.
You can see that YouTube displays the first few lines of the video description in the search results, so it's important to include relevant keywords here!
Thumbnail (CTR)
The YouTube algorithm moves your video up in the search results as more people click on it, which increases its visibility.
Typically, YouTube recommends 3 automatically generated thumbnails for every posted video.
Here is what I advise: This advice is typically useless, so ignore it.
You must create one!
Use anything other than a screenshot from the video!
If you don't know how to accomplish that, just purchase a $5 Fiverr gig, as has been advised several times.
You need a text that is both compelling and necessary.
Tags
Most people disregard this since it's the least significant. But you must take action; don't disregard it like other people.
This is also the simple part. There are 500 characters left for you to type (ideally all of them).
Exactly input the keywords and then choose as many tags as you can, just like you did for the title and description.
Knowing How To Increase Traffic To Your YouTube Videos
You should already notice some traffic if you followed the preceding instructions. For YouTube affiliate marketing, you are moving in the correct direction.
There are several strategies to drive traffic to your YouTube channel, but the main ones are as follows:
Browse feature
YouTube Search
Suggested Videos
Channel Page
External
1. Browse the feature
The homepage/home, subscription feed, and other surfing tools will bring you this traffic. regardless of whether they are signed in or out at the moment.
You probably won't get much traffic from this part if you're just getting started.
As soon as you have 1,000 subscribers or more, YouTube will automatically entice people to explore your channel and direct them to various parts of it, increasing traffic to your site.
As you are probably just starting your channel, I would advise not worrying about this for now.
2. YouTube Search
These visitors came from YouTube search results. If the user's browser or media player makes them available, you may also see the search phrases used by viewers.
For your video, this is basically SEO.
3. Suggested Videos
When you first start out, this will probably be the main source of traffic for your website.
The source of all of this traffic is YouTube recommendations. Your video will receive more views the more YT recommends it to new users.
You will view them in a different location on the various gadgets. On a desktop or laptop, it will be on the right side, and on a mobile device, it will be underneath the comments.
4. Channel Page
When a video is done, a new one will usually start and viewers will click on it, which will drive traffic to your channel page.
Included in this is any traffic you could get from a fellow creator who posts a video from your channel on their Community tab.
5. External
This is presumably traffic from other social networks or Google searches, not from YouTube. thus the name!
Google has additional information about this YouTube traffic source. However, avoid aiming for quick global YouTube expansion.
