It’s also important to add a channel description at this stage. Here’s the GoDaddy UK channel art – it ties in with our Harry’s Roly Poly’s campaign, and features social media and website links in the bottom right. You can also use a photo you’ve taken, or any image you have the rights to use (such as a stock photo you’ve paid for). The recommended size for channel art is 2560px x 1440, and again you can create this using a tool like GoDaddy Studio. You can also link to your social media profiles here. This is essentially a banner and it’s a great place to tell visitors to your channel more about what you do. You can then upload your new logo/headshot. Once you’ve got a logo (or headshot) you like, hit the “customize channel” button on your channel’s homepage, then move your cursor over the square area (which will either have your/your business’s first initial in it, or your existing profile picture) and click the pencil icon in its top right corner. If you don’t have a logo, then you can get one quickly by using a tool like GoDaddy Studio. The profile picture size should be 800px x 800px. For a brand channel this will probably be your logo, while for a personal channel it will likely be a headshot of yourself.
The first thing you’ll want to do is add an image to your channel. If you created a brand channel, you may need to click “Switch account” and then the name of your brand account before clicking “Your channel”.) (Note: If you leave your channel at any point and want to return to it later, you can do so by clicking “Your channel” if you created a personal channel. Let’s start by optimizing your YouTube channel. Okay, so your YouTube channel is now up and running but as you’ve probably noticed, it looks pretty empty. That way, you’ll be focusing your audience-building efforts on one channel. Note: It is possible to set up both a brand channel and a personal channel, but we suggest you pick one option and stick to it.
Whichever option you decide to go for, once you hit either the “create channel” or “create account” button you’ll be taken to your new YouTube channel, which will look something like this: If you’re creating a YouTube channel for a business, it makes sense to go with the business name option, which looks like this:
If you’re creating a YouTube channel for a blog, you might want to use your own name, or the name of your blog. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be presented with a page that allows you to create a personal YouTube channel using your own name.īut if you want to create a business or brand channel, click the link that says “Use a business or other name”. On your personalized YouTube homepage you’ll see that in the top right-hand corner there’s a circle which is either your profile picture, or, if you haven’t set a profile picture, your first initial.Ĭlick the circle and a dropdown menu will appear, then click “Your Channel”. Once you’ve done that, head over to YouTube and log in. If you don’t have a Google Account, you can create one here. You’ll already have one if you use Gmail, or you’ve logged in to another Google service (including YouTube). Setting up a YouTube channel is really easy.
