Hi there!
If you'd like to create a Brand Account or a Brand Channel
so that you can have more flexibility, add managers
and all those good things on your YouTube account,
then stay tuned to watch this video
all the way to the end as I show you how.
Hi there, David Walsh here again from davidwalshonline.com,
the place to grow your business on YouTube.
In this video, I'm gonna show you how to create
a Brand Account or Brand Channel
on your YouTube account so that you can have
a lot more flexibility on your YouTube channel
than you do have with a personal channel.
Before I hop into that, if you're not already a subscriber,
make sure to click the old Subscribe link
and also the notification bell to be notified,
we upload a brand new video to help you grow
your business on YouTube every Tuesday.
So, having a Brand Account or Brand Channel gives
you more flexibility with your YouTube account.
You don't need to give your YouTube logins to people,
you can add managers on various levels to your channel
so they can do some of the work for you,
without having to disclose your private log-in details.
It also gives you the ability to have whatever name
you want on your channel, whether you have one word,
two words, three words, four words, five words, whatever.
So, you're not restricted to having two words
on your channel link as you do on a personal account.
So, to show you how to do it,
I'm gonna go in to a channel of a private client of mine,
to see how it's done.
Okay, so here we are on YouTube
and where we need to go to is youtube.com/account.
So, on this page here, we see this link here,
See All My Channels, or, Create a New One,
that's where we want to go.
So, to create our new channel, obviously we'd click on
Create a New Channel, and you'd give it a name.
So with a Brand Channel, you can have multiple names here
so you're not stuck with just the first name, last name,
as you are on a personal channel.
Also, it could be one name, two, three,
four or five, whatever you want.
Then you pop in a number, get a text message to verify
and once you have your verification code,
pop it in and click on continue.
So you'll end up with an email address here
which you can use to upload videos to,
where you can go in, change your icon,
change your banner, et cetera, et cetera,
and then you have to do is click on customize channel
and then you can go ahead, add your channel icon,
your channel art and then add your sections
as you would on any other channel.
And, as I mentioned before,
you do get a number of benefits from this,
including adding up to 50 managers
and you don't have to give away your personal details,
being the biggest one.
Now, there are some downsides to this,
the biggest one is that if you have a custom URL,
that you will lose it.
So what you need to do is to release that custom URL
on your existing channel and then you can reclaim
that after 30 days on your brand account
if you're just setting that up now.
And of course, the link to the video
to show you how to do it is in the 'ol description below.
Other things include that you will lose any comments
that you have added on your own YouTube channel
and other channels and this is why I recommend
to clients that they move over to a Brand Account
as soon as possible before they get heavily
into lots of subscribers and comments
and stuff like that, so all that information is not lost.
So there you go, that's how you set up
a Brand Account for your YouTube channel.
If you've done this,
I'd love to know how you got on with that,
let me know in the 'ol comments area below.
And if you have a question about this
or anything to grow your business with YouTube,
again, let me know in the 'ol commentary below
and I'll do what I can to help you.
