You can make a lot of money by using YouTube to promote yourself on the internet. To access your YouTube channel and subscriptions, you must first register with Google by creating a Google account. If you are using Gmail, it means you already have a Registered Google account. Then proceed to creating a YouTube channel. You must also include some channel art, a description, and identifying the name. Obtain the right level of popularity by producing engaging video content and advertising it on YouTube.
Below is the step-by-step guide to create a YouTube account:
Step 1: Create a Google Account (Skip step 1 and 2 if you have Gmail)
1. Go to www.google.com on your computer, phone, or tablet.
2. Click on >Sign in< button at top right corner.
3. Click on "Create account".
4. Enter your first and last name, and a unique username (which will be your Google account username).
5. Enter a strong password and confirm it.
6. Enter your recovery email and phone number (optional but recommended).
7. Enter your birthday and gender.
8. Click on "Next".
Step 2: Set up your Google Account
1. Review Google's Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, then check the box to agree.
2. Click on "Next".
3. Set up your account security settings (optional but recommended).
4. Click on "Next".
Now go to YouTube and log in with your Google account. Once you have logged in, you will automatically see your name or username at the top of the left menu. Click this to access your user page.
Step 3: Set up your YouTube Account
1. You'll be automatically redirected to YouTube.
2. Click the >Sign in< button at the top right corner.
3. Enter your Google account username and password.
4. Click on "Next".
5. You'll see a prompt to set up your YouTube channel.
6. Choose our channel name and profile picture.
7. Customize your channel art (optional).
To add art to your channel, simply place the image below at the top of your page. The image on YouTube will be exhibited how it appears on the website, a TV, or mobile devices. Make sure that the center of the picture is visible, preventing any cuts or blurring when viewing on mobile devices. Don't be left with only half of your face!
Make art that grabs people's attention. Above all, your image must be 2560 x 1440 pixels and it should align with the message of your channel.
In the channel art, include your channel name or a message. This will cement your status in the minds of those who see you.
Make changes to your channel art on a regular basis. Unless you want to establish a brand identity by using contrasting images, it is recommended to regularly update your channel art regarding the content you are releasing. Change the channel art of comedic sketches to align with your current sketch sequence.
There are free Apps that allow you to draw your own.
Refrain from taking away artwork. Don't steal from others. Search for stock photos that are both free and can be utilized for drawing or usage.
8. Click on "Done".
Enjoy! You now have a YouTube account and a channel ready to go. You can start posting and creating contents on YouTube such as, uploading your videos, live videos, teaching and learning as well, and engaging with YouTube community among others.
