This article will show you how to choose a channel name, make a Channel trailer, and optimize your content to become discoverable. You&#8217;ll also learn how to get people to comment on your videos and subscribe to your channel. Follow along as I share my best tips. You&#8217;ll soon be on your way to creating a popular YouTube channel in no time!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Profile_photo\"><\/span>Profile photo<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can create your YouTube channel profile photo in several ways. The first one is to upload a high-quality image. YouTube requires that your photo is at least 800&#215;800 pixels. Square images are not recommended as YouTube will crop them into circles. The second method is to use a free online photo editing service such as PicMonkey. Regardless of your preference, make sure your image is in high-resolution, otherwise it will be cut off when you upload it.<\/p>\n<p>Next, you need to choose a picture that best represents you and your channel. Most people do not realize that their YouTube channel profile picture will determine whether someone will actually watch your videos. So, make your image swish! A swish image can lock a viewer in your content and make them want to watch it. A Picsart YouTube profile picture maker is free and easy to use. After all, who doesn&#8217;t want to look cool?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Channel_trailer\"><\/span>Channel trailer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether you want to create a YouTube channel for a certain topic or a personal channel, it is important to have a great channel trailer. Channel trailers should be brief &#8211; no longer than two to three minutes &#8211; but contain the most important elements that will draw viewers to your channel. The most effective channel trailers welcome viewers to your channel, introduce your audience, and offer information about the topic. Here are some helpful tips:<\/p>\n<p>Include a call to action or a clear call-to-action at the end of the video. A shorter video will hold the audience&#8217;s attention and encourage them to subscribe. Depending on your niche, your channel trailer may focus on a specific call to action, such as a subscription button. Your channel trailer should also contain links to social media sites so that viewers can follow you there. Make sure to include all of the following information:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Optimizing_your_content_for_discoverability\"><\/span>Optimizing your content for discoverability<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Having a brand account is an important first step when creating a new YouTube channel. While this is entirely optional, it is important to choose a name that represents your brand and what your content is about. After registering, you will receive a verification text message or call, which you should validate and then proceed to the dashboard of your new YouTube channel. Once verified, you will be ready to begin customizing your channel.<\/p>\n<p>Adding keywords to titles and descriptions of your videos is another way to increase your content&#8217;s discoverability. Videos with relevant locations will be surfaced by users who search for those areas. Adding landmarks and major cities to the descriptions will help your videos to be discovered by viewers. If you&#8217;re not sure how to make a title, follow these tips. You&#8217;ll be surprised how effective these steps can be!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Getting_people_to_comment_on_videos_and_subscribe_to_your_channel\"><\/span>Getting people to comment on videos and subscribe to your channel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to grow your YouTube channel, you have to encourage your viewers to comment on your videos. The more engaged your audience is, the more likely they are to subscribe and comment. People who are engaged are more likely to share your content, and they will also be more loyal to your channel. Here are a few ways to encourage them to comment on your videos. Hopefully, these tips will help you get started.<\/p>\n<p>One of the easiest ways to build a YouTube community is to email your subscribers. Not only will it give your videos more exposure, but it will also kickstart the YouTube recommendation algorithm. To make this as easy as possible, include your YouTube channel link in your email signature. Instead of using a long URL, consider using an icon to promote your channel. Make sure you optimize your video for the recommended video specs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Create a New YouTube Channel You&#8217;ve just created a YouTube account, but don&#8217;t know where to begin.
