[00:01] sign-up button, this is where most newbies screw up, and then waste months or even years of their time because of these mistakes. In this video, I'll show you step-by-step how to create a channel, how to add a phone number to it, how to

[00:15] YouTube is as accommodating as possible for us to promote our project in the smallest detail can make a difference in distance. So you can just open YouTube and do all this with me. Well, let's go. The

[00:29] first step. Go to Google and register a new account. For personal can write either our first and last name, or a fictitious one. I'll write my own.

[00:41] Here you can either indicate your birthday or randomly create a new email. It is very important that we do not create multiple channels for one email. Each channel is a new Gmail. So

[00:56] here I click create new email address and either choose from the suggested ones or create a new one. I will choose from those offered. Let's come up with a password that suits us. Next button. And the next step. We need to receive a code on

[01:09] they often don’t come, especially if you live in Belarus-Russia. For example, I was lucky now and received a code, so I confirmed it right away. What should you do if you don't receive the code? First, try several times.

[01:22] Try entering your phone number in different ways, with a plus sign, without a plus sign, using work, then you can try the next day or after some period of time. Most importantly, try not to use distant virtual numbers from other people

[01:34] to your channel and lose access to them , there could be unpleasant won't be adding a backup email address for now, but it wouldn't hurt to do so for additional security . Click the "Next" button. We accept all YouTube rules and its

[01:48] privacy policy. That's it, voila, we're on YouTube. Right here and right now we can click on the Create Channel button. You can call it whatever you want. Here suggested its name to me. I agree with him . And right away we can choose

[02:02] set it at your discretion. I don't recommend getting too hung up on your avatar and header at the effort into collecting content. For example, for one of my first channels, which this kind of income, I ordered the design only after I earned my

[02:17] first money from it. Before this, it was a simple design that I made either in Photoshop or Figma, and put it as my channel's intro. Okay, let's stay on topic . Create channel button. Great button. We press it.

[02:29] Before we head into the studio and start packaging our YouTube channel, the first thing we need to do is protect it. Therefore, we go to Google settings, we go to the Security and sign-in section. And here we can

[02:43] set up two-step notification. Let's do this right now. We have access keys, we have Google Authenticator, we have a phone number. It's up to you here, but I usually connect Google Atifier. To

[02:55] do this, you simply download this application to your phone, take the QR code from here, scan it, and now you , you can restore it using a similar QR code. I recommend adding the number

[03:10] if you are absolutely sure that you will have it at hand and, if necessary, you will be able to receive a code or a call on it . In other cases, I recommend using these two-step notification backup methods. Now that

[03:22] we've set up protection, we can confidently move on to YouTube's creative studio. We have this button right here. Here we are welcomed. We click next. introduction. First, we'll start with the beautiful moments, and then we'll move on to

[03:36] more technical ones. Let's start with the construction of the canal. Here we can make a header for our channel. And it could be anything . The format is like this. Here it is written 20482152. This is essentially what is on

[03:48] our channel. I advise either not to install it, or not to spend perfectionist like me, then it can take you a lot of time, although it makes I recommend putting something bright and noteworthy on your profile photo. In my case, I'll

[04:02] just put my photo. I welded it. Here. And I'll press the done button. something on the topic of your channel, not necessarily your channel logo, if you don’t have one yet. You can do this at your own discretion. The main thing is that the

[04:16] channel is noticeable and looks nice. Here. Next we have a that we can make unique and write ourselves. Here is the name of something with it and the description of the channel there. Hi all. I am Valentin,

[04:31] life experience and the knowledge that helped me achieve results. Enjoy your introduction. This is it. We can make a description. We can also leave links to our social networks here. If there is somewhere to lead, somewhere to

[04:44] direct people, then we can do it here . And here of course, the channel logo. Here you can simply write like this and choose one . Now in the corner of our video we will have a beautiful

[04:59] banner like this, which, when hovered over, will prompt the viewer to subscribe. notice I don't spend much time on this. I'm just putting the key things here. Next is the main tab. Here we can set up playlists, that

[05:12] is, first we need to turn it on and we can add playlists. Videos, short videos, completed broadcasts, playlists, whatever. I advise, so to speak, to will have a main video on the channel that represents your channel or the one

[05:26] you like the most. You can put it first on the channel. Next, I recommend setting a recommended video for subscribers. Here. And again, put here. Here. And I

[05:39] is, I put a trailer for recommended videos, and when your channel gets videos, and when your channel gets more familiar, I added more popular section with popular videos that have gained the most views on your channel. And

[05:52] viewers from the important main page saw it. Here. After this we save all our settings and can move on . The next station that awaits us is channel settings. These are no longer just some appearance settings, but

[06:08] actual channel settings. By the way, our avatar is already being updated, right? Next, go to settings. We have general settings, currency. We can choose our income here. Here we can select the country of residence. It's not

[06:21] so I usually don't touch it at all. And keywords. Your channel's keywords are what your channel is associated with and how you let YouTube targeting. In our case, we can put, for example, Valentin,

[06:37] YouTube, expert, and so on. You can add all 500 characters on your topic to give YouTube a better understanding of what you are about, what the channel's topic is, and who the target children are. It certainly won't get any worse here . Next, the settings are expanded. There is a

[06:51] very important point here. We always make it clear that our channel is child-friendly and does not contain any children's content. Hey, this is the second button. This is what is recognized in all our videos. And even if your content is for teenagers,

[07:04] for children. We'll be sent to YouTube Kids, where there's no real monetization and no real children of their parents’ phones, and this makes no economic sense. That's

[07:17] our video is not for kids. And the next section is the availability of the function. Here we immediately, ideally, include at least the second extended function. It will give us the opportunity to set our own covers, conduct streams and upload videos

[07:30] get this, you need to confirm your phone number by receiving a code on your SIM card. There is also a third section with advanced functions, which offers several options here. Either we have to undergo video verification, or provide our

[07:45] we are a living person, or we have to consistently publish videos for about two or three months , and YouTube will open this function itself . I don't recommend doing this with an ID card, because sometimes it happens now that

[07:58] documents from countries with which YouTube isn't very friendly don't work. And therefore it is better to or simply give YouTube the opportunity to connect it on its own after some time. Here. The main thing is to get the opportunity to set your own covers and upload long

[08:14] videos. Everything else will come as the process progresses. And, having done this, we can go to the video download section. Here we can set templates, that is, the title, use in each of our videos and

[08:26] , we can immediately basic parameter so that the video immediately goes into open access, into restricted access, or into access via a link. There are also advanced settings here, and we can

[08:39] usually don't go here. Through the permissions section we can add managers and editors to our channel. That is, we select the email and select the role again, who we want to invite, who we want to see. Here, again, at

[08:54] what each role does, add the email of your employee, assistant, friend, brother, sister, and again invite them here through the remote access and knowledge of the person’s email. Here. That is how it works now

[09:09] we can, uh, add words to the blacklist. If someone writes them in the comments or anywhere else, these comments will not be published. We manage our channel in the access control section. Here. And click the

[09:24] save button. But remember, even if our channel has no voice or face, it’s important for YouTube to give the maximum feeling that it’s run by a living person. These are the good monetization. And that's

[09:36] basically it. We just created a channel together, and, using the same channels that gave me such results, all our students who have such results create channels. And it is important to understand a very

[09:49] simple thing. Just create a channel correctly. There is nothing magical about it. It's important to work with it wisely and choose the right niche that of course, how to choose ideas, publish consistently, and stay on
