If you are watching this video, you are probably thinking to create your YouTube
channel in a correct way or in a proper way, should I say?
Because most of the YouTube vloggers, they are
teaching you just the basic set-up on how to create the YouTube channel but
there's really a proper way. If you are thinking to make a YouTube channel for
you to go big, maybe it's for your business and
make this your side hustle kind-of-thing,
if you are thinking like that, then you might really want to know what's
this common mistake in setting up a YouTube channel.
And if you are interested to know what is that common mistake, then just keep on watching.
Before I dive in,
I want to introduce myself first. I'm Suzie and I create contents about
Work from Home, Productivity, Self-Development and Freelancing Lifestyle.
If you like all those kind of topic, please don't forget to subscribe to my
YouTube channel and hit the bell button down
below so that you'll get notified every time I upload a new video.
So, what's the difference in creating your YouTube channel
under a brand account or a personal account?
So, here's the difference.
If you are creating it under a personal account, yes, you can create a YouTube channel.
Yes, you can monetize it. But the thing is that
under a personal account, it doesn't have a feature where you can give access to your team.
They can't upload nor reply to comments. It doesn't have those features.
You can do that under a personal account but you have to give your log-in credentials,
your username and your password to your team
which is very risky to do because
they will also have the access to delete your own account.
So, that's a no-no.
I have seen a video here on Marissa Romero's channel.
Her YouTube channel had been deleted by her Virtual Assistant.
So we don't want that to happen.
That's the purpose of a brand account.
Under a brand account, yes, you can create a YouTube channel.
Yes, you can monetize from there, and yes, you can give access or you can give roles
to your other team members. If you have a video editor, they can upload and edit
SEO using his or her own account on YouTube.
So, I won't have to give my log-in credentials just so they can upload a video.
It's for safety and your account is secure as you are the only one who has full access
to your YouTube account.
You can transfer your personal account to a brand account but there are just some warnings that
we will be discussing later.
It's possible but there are just some that will be deleted.
But that's okay.
It is as easy as creating a YouTube channel under a personal account.
A brand account is also very easy to access and very easy to create.
So, if you are interested to that, check this out.
This is how you are going to check
if you already have a YouTube channel and you want to check if it's under a
brand account or if it's under a personal account.
Click here at the top and then "Settings".
Just click that and then as you can see, the name of your YouTube channel is "Suzie B"
Here in the "Advanced settings" tab, click it
and if it indicates "Move channel to a brand channel"
that means your YouTube channel is still under a personal account.
If it's already under a brand account, this is what you will see.
Since my YouTube channel Britx Sui is under a brand account, so it indicates here
"Move channel to your Google account or to a different brand account"
So, right now, if you want to move it to a brand account,
this is what you will have to do.
What we will have to do is to create a new brand account
that already has a YouTube channel and that's where we will transfer it.
So, make sure you can see this one.
On Suzie B channel, we have one subscriber and one video.
I really uploaded it to make sure that we see it, this is just a sample video, just to make sure that
it will really be transferred.
It's for you to see that the subscribers and videos will be transferred.
The question is how to create a new brand account.
So, here it goes.
Click here.
You should be on your channel and if you see this one, click "Settings".
And make sure that your channel name is indicated here. As for me, it's "Suzie B"
And then, click "Create a new channel"
Once you clicked that, this is how you are going to create your brand account.
Let's say that the brand account we will be creating is "Suzie B Tutorial" and then hit "Create"
So, it will automatically create a new YouTube channel under a brand account.
So, "Suzie B" which is under a personal account, we will transfer it here.
So, what should happen is that
one subscriber should be transferred here since Suzie B has one subscriber.
It should have one subscriber and one video, the private video we saw earlier, right?
It must be transferred here.
So, how we are going to do that? Go back here.
Make sure to switch the account to "Suzie B" or your original channel.
Go here to "Suzie B", then click "Your channel"
You are now here under your old channel.
And then go back here in the "Settings" > "Advanced settings" > "Move channel to a brand account"
So, this is how you are going
to move your old channel, in our example, it's "Suzie B", to "Suzie B Tutorial" brand account.
So, just click this. As you can see,
"1 subscriber, 1 video, No playlists"
We have to transfer these to a brand account.
Just click it.
There a heads up here that whatever video inside Suzie B Tutorial channel will be deleted.
Since nothing will be deleted as this channel has no subscriber, no video, no playlists,
so there's no need to worry.
So, just click "Delete channel"
Again guys, please be careful here because if ever you are handling multiple brand accounts,
you might select a wrong brand account to delete.
So, make sure to select the right brand account
so that you get to delete the right channel.
So, just delete it.
Here's the arrow indicating that
here's your channel right now and you will transfer it to this channel, Suzie B Tutorial.
So, as you can see, "Connected account" and then "Connected Brand Account"
This is the difference between the two of them.
So, therefore, this one subscriber and one video will be transferred to Suzie B Tutorial channel.
If everything is okay, everything is good, hit "Move Channel"
And then, don't panic if you don't see results yet.
You can also make this a default channel if you like, but if you don't like it to be your default
channel, you can just skip this part.
And now, go here. As you can see, we now have a YouTube channel.
Suzie B Tutorial channel has now one subscriber and then for the video, wait, let's check.
Let's click "Manage videos", and here it is.
The video got transferred to Suzie B Tutorial.
So, therefore, we successfully moved the personal YouTube account to a brand account.
So, that's how easy it is.
And if you want to customize your YouTube URL, as it's not carried when you transfer it, so you have to
go back to the "Settings" and then "Advanced settings" and then you can do it here.
So, you can customize your URL here like this one. This is my customized URL "youtube.com/britxsui"
So, you can also customize the same based on what name you would like to.
Because if it's not customized, it will look like this. It's a combination of numbers and letters.
So, you can customize that so it could be the same as this one.
That's how you are going to do it.
I hope you get to follow the steps. And if you still have any questions, just
comment down below and we will answer it.
Thank you.
So, that's how easy it is. For now, maybe you are still starting,
if you are still doing it by yourself, it's okay.
But if your channel is growing and
maybe you will need a video editor, maybe you will need a community manager,
you can definitely hire someone and just invite them to have an
access to your channel without you giving your credentials.
