in this video i show you how to create a brand new youtube channel hi creators my name is Joe
and welcome to Ubitronics this is the third video in a short series on how to create your youtube
channel from scratch in the previous video we went over the importance of commitment and the
length of time it will take you to actually create videos on youtube given that you're still watching
i'm assuming i haven't scared you off and you're ready to commit to those kind of time frames and
get started by creating our youtube channel okay so the first thing we need to do is make sure that
we're signed in if for any reason you've been signed out from the previous video then come
back to youtube.com go to the sign in button in the top right and if it remembers your account
then you'll have this option to click onto your account here or it might come up with a pop-up box
that says enter your email address use the same email and password that we created in lesson one
for the remainder of this series i'll assume that you are logged in and able to access your account
like you see me being able to with the little icon in the top right to indicate that i'm logged
in now assuming that you are logged in you have a create channel option here do not use it what
this is going to do is it's going to create a personal channel on your google account so we
do not want to create a personal channel we want to create a brand channel come down to settings
and then click on add or manage your channels as you can see here i've got no channel available but
i do have the option to create a channel here and this is where you'll add your channel name which
can be different from your actual name so for example on my live channel i've got ubitronics
as my channel name but my actual name is joe cullen for this series i'm going to create a
pretend gaming channel so i'm going to call mine ultimate gamer click on the little tick box here
which it says it's creating a new account for you which is absolutely fine click on create and
now you'll see that this icon up here has changed from j which was my first letter of my initial joe
to ultimate gamer or the first letter u which is now showing that i'm connected with a brand
account i click onto that you can see the details here have just changed very slightly and you can
also go down to switch account and you've got the two accounts this is the brand account and
this is your personal account as you can see the personal account has no channel associated with it
whereas the brand account has a channel and at the moment we have no subscribers but later on
that will tell you exactly how many subscribers you do have so stay connected on the brand account
and this is your bare bones brand account ready for you to use and upload your videos to youtube
now a really common mistake that people make right at the start of their youtube journey is that
they will not notice which account they are logged into so at some point if things
are going a bit weird and it's asking you to create names and channels and stuff it might
be that you're actually logged in to your personal account and not your brand account
the easiest way to stop this from happening is go into your settings view advanced settings
and then make this channel in my case ultimate gamer the default when i sign in to my account
so if you tick that it's gonna default you to your ultimate gamer brand channel every single time
that you log in to youtube on your account now that's probably what you want to do but be aware
you can still log in and change back to your personal account by going up into the settings
and switching account here when you click onto your icon instead of it saying create a channel
here it will say your channel and if you click and this is your bare bones channel so you're able to
start uploading videos in the very next video i'll explain how to enable additional features
such as live streaming so your channel is set up in the correct way from the get-go i hope
this has been helpful please consider liking and subscribing and i'll see you in the next video
