We all know that YouTube is a really powerful platform, and it's no wonder that more and more people want to get on there and learn how to make a YouTube channel. So, with the right process, and a little up-front optimization of some key channel settings, you can quickly set yourself up, and your new channel up, for success, ready to maximize your views, subscribers, and traffic on YouTube. 

So, in this article, I'm describing setp by step, how to create a new YouTube channel, along with the key settings that you need to maximize your results. 

🔺️Create and customize YouTube channel properly step by step : 

Now you should  to go on YouTube.com, and next come up to the top right-hand corner, and make sure that you are signed in. So, if you're signed in, you'll already see your little profile picture up here. But if you're not and you're seeing sign in, then you'll need to sign in to a Google account that you want your YouTube channel to be associated with. 

If you don't already have a channel created at this point, then you have the option here to create a channel. Now, if you already had a Google account previously, then clicking on your profile image, you might not see create a channel, in which case you've go to settings, and then down here to add or manage your channels. 

Then there you'll see a button, create a channel. Now, if you do already have other channele associated with your YouTube account, then when you click create a channel. 

◾ Create Brand Channel : 

You will just be presented to create a new brand channel, where as if you don't have any YouTube channels associated with your account yet and you click create a channel, then this is where, after you hit get started, you'll get the option to choose if you want to create a personal channel, one that's limited to your first name and last name. 

So you can't name it whatever you would like, that's going to be the name of your channel, or you can choose a brand channel here as well. Here you get to choose a custom name, and name your channel whatever you would like. Now, the other advantage that a brand channel that it gives you the ability to give access to your channel to someone else, like if you're going to get someone to help you out and upload videos, or help you out with your comments, you can give them access to your channel where you don't need to give them your Google username and password, or email address and password. 

You can just assign them as a channel manager, if you've got a brand account. So, given that extra flexibility, I'd say that most people are probably going to select a custom name here, or a brand channel. 

◾ Create Channel Name : 

So we're going  to pick that one now. Now you should to give a name for your channel (like "ABCD HELP 2021"). Now we need to check this little box here, and then click on create. That'll go ahead and create your YouTube channel for you. All right, nice work, the channel "ABCD HELP 2021" has been created. So, now you should to upload a profile picture, or an avatar, for your channel. 

So, now you should hit upload picture, and go down to pictures, and let's press this one here, my profile picture. 

◾ About your YouTube channel : 

The next box down here is where you can tell your viewers about your channel. Now, don't worry, with this stuff you can come back and add this in later, but if you already know what your channel is going to be about, then you can add that in here now. This is what your channel is about as well. So, let's go ahead and copy and paste that text you prepared for your channel. Then, down from that, is where we can add in some links, to your website and some of your social profiles as well. 

Let's also add in Facebook, and Twitter, and Instagram, are going to be the same, and then you just should to click save and continue. Finally channel now is officially created. Now, our profile image might take a few minutes or so to show up in here. 

🛑Customize your YouTube channel : 

Now get it set up. So, you should to come up the top here to customize channel, and it's should take you over to your YouTube Studio dashboard area, down to this customization section. So, if you want to access that at any point, all you need to do is come up to your profile picture, and then go down to YouTube Studio, and then down to customization here. 

◾ Custom URL for channel : 

Here You should to go down a little bit lower, you'll be seen channel URL. That is so big, ugly URL, but once complete 100 subscribers, this is where you can claim a custom URL for your YouTube channel. 

◾Other Social media platform links : 

Now, you should go straight across to the basic info tab here, and this is where we can see our channel description that we added in a little bit earlier. Where we have given some links to connect other social media platforms. Now we can pick them up and change the order of them, or we can add more links, by clicking the little button down. 

how many of these links are shown on YouTube channel banner, or the artwork that's on the top of YouTube channel. So, the default here is at five, but know that this is where you can come back in and change that if you want less links shown. 

◾ Email in about section : 

The next one down here, this is an important one, this is one I would recommend that you are adding in, this is the email address that people can see. so that they can reach out and contact you. So, the main reason I think you should to add this in there, so that it's easy for any brands or companies that wanna work with you, they've got quick access to an email address, so info@abcdhelp.com . 

Now, you should to click on publish, to make sure that you are saving your changes, and then let's go back over here to branding.

So, you should to click upload and just find a image that you'll use here for now, as kind of a placeholder, and you can see here, it shows you how it's going to be viewable to the different devices. Once you're done, hit done. Also you can create an amazing looking channel banner art for your YouTube channel. 

All right, here we have done to make channel profile picture and banner image. 

◾ Watermark for channel video: 

The next one down here is your video watermark. Now essentially, this is a little subscribe button that pops up on desktop.

Also it's shown on mobile, but it's not clickable (but clickable on desktop). when someone clicks that little button, they'll be presented with a subscribe button. So, you should to upload a small graphic, 150 by 150 pixels, that we can use as a button on our videos. 

The watermark will shown at the end of your all videos. so the last 15 seconds, if it's shown for the entire video, or you can actually specify a custom start time. so that it appears on your video after a certain amount of time.

Now, don't add in random ones in here, only things that are going to be related to your channel, and the content you're going to be creating. Also you can add your channel name after a comma(,). 

There's an amazing tool called TubeBuddy that can help you out with this. So, if you're struggling as to what words, or what tags, or what keywords you should be adding in there, and using on your entire channel, then that's something that TubeBuddy can help you with, even on their free plan. So, you can go ahead and add your keywords in there. 

🛑 Advance settings : 

Next, you should to go to the advanced setting. Now, this is a requirement, you will need to tell YouTube if the content you're creating is made for kids or not. 

saying, "Yes, this channel is made for kids, "and I always upload content that's made for children," that would be here, yes, or "No, set this channel. "as not made for kids," or you can actually manually pick for every video you upload.

◾ Features eligibility :

So, if we come down here, default features, they're all enabled, but if you want  to enable some more features, then let's do as directed there.

So, anything YouTube thinks might be inappropriate, kind of gets put to the side, and you get to approve it, or review it. You get to choose if you want all comments held for review, or you can actually disable comments as well. So, we're gonna leave this one here as hold potentially inappropriate ones for review.
