How to Making YouTube Channel
This section of this guide on “How to make a YouTube channel?” will discuss how to start a YouTube channel.
Step 1: Create your Google account and then use it to create a YouTube channel
If you have a google account from earlier, then there is no need to create your google account again as you can use it to sign in to YouTube with the account with which you want to create the channel.
What to do if I do not have a Google Account?
The simple answer is, you need to create your Google account, which you can choose after clicking on the ‘Sign in’ option on YouTube. You need to follow specific necessary steps to create your Google account, which is as easy as drinking water.
After logging in, you need to click on the profile icon and proceed to select “Create a channel.” Following this, you will get two options to use your name for a personal account or a custom name that can be used to create your brand account.
Then choose the name of your channel and here, we want to highlight one thing that makes sure the name of the channel contains the focus keyword so that it can boost up the SEO of your channel and help to rank it up.
Post this step; you can customize the channel where there are options to add a profile picture, channel description, or links for the social networks. Bingo! You have just created a channel on YouTube!
Step 2: Creating YouTube channel art
You may be hearing the term ‘channel art’ for the first time. So, let me clear your doubt by saying that it is nothing but a cover photo (in the case of Facebook) for your channel. It is crucial to set a channel art for your channel once you have created a channel. It should contain information regarding what your channel is all about. For create a YouTube channel art Canva is a best option.
This channel art serves as a promotional item when you start linking your channel with the various accounts of social networks. You must include the tagline, channel icon, brand design for brand accounts, and some exciting or attractive characters.
The channel art’s size should be 2560 x 1440 pixels as recommended by YouTube’s best practice. But, as per our experience, we would want to highlight that the image's minimum size should be 2048 x 1152px so that the image is accurately visible in all modes that come in a file size of 6MB maximum.
Note: you must ensure that the channel icon/logos and text are within the channel art's safe area. In the case of TVs, the channel art appears as a background image whereas, in mobile devices, they appear as a top channel banner.
You can add the channel art from customizing channel option and uploading an image from the device where you have stored the image after creating it.
Step 3: Add a channel icon
Once you have created a channel on YouTube, it will also consist of uploading a channel icon or the profile picture. The channel icon is the image that appears next to the videos and the channel but ensures that the image you choose is appropriately visible in small resolutions. The size of the image should be 800 x 800px in JPEG, GIF, or PNG formats for achieving this.
For changing the channel icon later, you need to navigate your channel's homepage and hover over the previous image to get the edit icon button where you can upload a new channel icon as per your needs.
Some Tips to make your channel popular to become a successful YouTuber
Once you are done with the above necessary steps, the next important thing is to create content or video content and upload videos and do that as much as possible within the first few months. Some of the tips besides this we want to highlight are,
Step 1: optimizing the channel description
There is an option to add the channel description where you mainly have to focus on the branding and the content you are uploading to the channel.

This means you have to write an SEO-friendly channel description to boost your ranking in the search engines.

Step 2: Adding link to various social media accounts is a small way to include Social Media marketing
In the channel art, you must include the links of social networking accounts so that people can know more about your channel from Facebook or Instagram pages.
Step 3: Addition of a channel trailer
This is important to convert your viewers into subscribers. The channel trailer mainly describes the factor for which they will be watching your videos. So it is a way of introducing people to the video content of your channel.
Once you upload videos to the YouTube channel, you also need to write the video description efficiently so that the search engines can find the right keywords to make them appear in the first few search results.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
