It's easy to start a YouTube channel, even a kid can do it.
Now YouTube has always been a huge social media platform. If you want to get started, here's how to do exactly that.
Before you can get started though, you need to have a google account. Here's the steps to make one.
step 1: Go to your web browser and search for creating a google account.
step 2: click on the one that says "Create your Google Account - Google Accounts"
Step 3: Type in your first name, last name, username, password and click next.
Enter in your phone number, email (if you want), date of birth and gender. Then, click next.
Click the "I agree" button at the bottom of the page
Now you're all ready to make some content! As for how to post your content, here's how.
Step 1: look for a plus icon. If its on mobile, it will be on the bottom middle of the screen. For pc, you can find it in the top left corner.
Step 2: Click on create video or go live.
Step 3: Click on " select files" and find your video. Then click "open"
Step 4: Fill in the details, video elements, checks and visibility. Then, click publish. Do note that if you set it to public, you have to decide if you want it to be a scheduled post or not.
Now you're ready to make some content. But wait! Here are some tips to make the most out of the time and effort poured into it.
- Tip 1: Upload content on a regular basis. The YouTube algorithm loves consistency.
- Tip 2: Don't use the scheduled uploading yet. It may be tempting to use all the features, but I only recommend using it if you have grown enough on YouTube or you have a large following on other platforms.
- Tip 3: Use keywords everywhere. YouTube is like a search engine in the sense that users know specifically what they want. You may argue that big Youtubers do not use this tip, but I have 2 arguments. 1. They probably did before their channels grew to where they are now. 2. They already have a large following so they can do whatever they want.
