Want to create a YouTube channel? There are some important steps and settings you need to know before creating a YouTube channel.

It is a lot more difficult to change some of these settings on your YouTube channel if you don’t set them up correctly in the beginning.
In this video, I’ll show you a 7 step process for creating a successful YouTube channel the right way.

In order to create a YouTube channel, you first need a Google account. Google owns YouTube and everything will be under one account.

If you use other services like Gmail or Google docs, you already have a Google account and YouTube account.

But if you don’t, you’ll need to create a Google account first before setting up a YouTube channel.

For step 2, set up a channel name. This can be changed later.

Step 3 is verifying your YouTube channel. This will unlock a lot of useful options.

Step 4 is channel customization. You can change the channel layout here.

Step 5 is branding. You can add a YouTube channel profile picture, and channel banners.
