The First Step: Choosing The Channel Type
For a successful YouTube channel, this should be your first step. Yes, it is so important that you must consider it first of all the steps ahead.
You might get stressed out like the girl above. If you haven’t already decided on your channel type. Or, What would you upload to your YouTube Channel?
But it worth it. Talk to yourself and figure out what you would like to do on YouTube.
You may want to upload Howto Videos like we do on Our YouTube Channel. Or you might want to upload your cover songs, cooking recipes, life hacks or whatever it is.
Find out.
Try to go with your passion or hobby otherwise, you will give up at the end. It must be something that you’ll love to do again and again.
Success on YouTube is a long journey. If you choose something that you don’t love. You might break at some point. Or I should say, You will… break at some point!
Said enough, now you know it. Spend some time, find out what to do and proceed to the next step.
The Second Step: Decide The Name of Your Channel
Have you thought about your channel name? If yes, Well Done! If not, Your expression might have changed like the girl above.
It seems an easy step. But trust me, if you are not creative enough it can take a lot of effort.
And again it worth it.
For a perfect YouTube channel, a perfect name is a must.
If it takes a lot of time, don’t worry about it, but don’t choose a name that isn’t good enough.
Now you might be thinking, Hey Bishnu, that’s good but How would I know if a name is good enough?
Well, there’s not a specific answer for that but here are some things that you must consider while choosing the name:
- Keep it short and simple
- The name should be memorable
- Avoid confusing spells
- Do not mix numbers with the name unless it is so important
- Make it Unique (I know it’s very tough nowadays but you have to try)
- Check Username Availability on Social Networks (Optional but Important)
