Creating a YouTube Channel
(If you don’t already have a Google account)

If you don’t already have a Google account set up, you’ll need to create one first. To do this, follow these steps:

Visit YouTube.com

  • Click ‘Sign In’
  • Follow the steps to create your Google account.
  • Now, you’re all set up with a Google account and can follow the above steps to create a YouTube channel.

Creating YouTube Channel Art

  • Similar to Facebook’s cover photo, YouTube channel art is an excellent channel branding strategy. It appears in a prominent place on your YouTube channel, like custom thumbnails do on your YouTube videos, which means it’s crucial for any YouTube channel to use customized, attractive art to share your personality or more about your brand with your audience.
  • The Perfect Sizes for YouTube Channel Art
  • The best place to start with your channel art is using an optimal image size that works across multiple devices. For the best results, YouTube advises uploading a single 2560 x 1440 pixel image.
  • Minimum width: 1235 x 338 px. This is the “safe area”, where text and logos are guaranteed not to be cut off when displayed on different devices.
  • Maximum width: 2560 X 423 px. This means that the “safe area” is always visible; the areas to each side of the channel art are visible depending on the viewer’s browser size.
  • File size: 6MB or smaller recommended.

Enhancing Your YouTube Channel

Here are five enhancements you can make to increase your chances of having a successful YouTube channel.

1. Optimize your description

YouTube provides a space on your channel to write a little about your brand and the content you share on YouTube. Maximum characters for the description are 1,000, so you have a little room to be creative.



Consider that the words in your channel description don’t just appear on your channel page – they can also boost your YouTube SEO. They are indexed by search engines and can be featured across YouTube in suggested channel categories and YouTube search results. A wise tactic is to include some relevant keywords and CTAs within the opening lines of your description.

2. Add links to your channel

As mentioned earlier in this post, you can have up to five links appear in your channel’s banner. The first link will appear expanded, and the remaining links will be shown as icons.


You can add these links in four super-quick steps:

Click the “Customize Channel” button on your channel’s homepage.

Then click on the gear icon in the upper-right corner, just beneath your cover art.

You’ll see a Channel Settings lightbox appear. Here, you need to toggle on the option labeled “Customize the layout of your channel”.

Now that you’ve enabled customizations on your channel, return to your channel homepage and you’ll now see the option to “Edit Links” under the settings menu on your channel art.

3. Add a channel trailer

A decent channel trailer can be a great way to introduce people to your content. A channel trailer should grab attention as soon as it starts and give a clear idea of the type of content you create on YouTube.

4. Add your contact details (email address)

If you’re using YouTube as a business or a creator, it can be great to have your contact details handy for easy discoverability for anyone who is interested in your work.

5. Utilize the YouTube channel art platform

The YouTube channel art platform is a great place to showcase your brand’s personality and express more about your business to your audience.

3 Effortless Steps to Initiate a YouTube Channel

Unravel the process of launching a YouTube channel for your company with our complete guide which includes initial setup, cover art creation, and profile customization.

1. Log into YouTube

Kickstart the process of establishing your YouTube channel by logging into YouTube through your Google Account.

2. Navigate to YouTube Settings

Upon successful login, direct your cursor to your profile icon located at the top right corner of the screen and click on the ‘Create a channel’ option.

3. Set Up Your Channel

Decide whether you want to create a personal channel or design it under a company or a unique name. Personalize your channel by adding a profile picture, writing a description, and inserting links to your business website or social media accounts.

Forming a YouTube Channel Without a Google Account

If you don’t possess a Google account, head over to YouTube.com and follow the on-screen instructions to create your Google account. Once you’ve created your Google account, you’re all set to create your YouTube channel.

Establishing YouTube Channel Art

The significance of YouTube channel art in defining your brand cannot be stressed enough. Utilize an image of 2560 x 1440 pixels for the best output. Make sure your text and emblems are within the safe area to prevent it from getting cropped out on different screens.

Incorporating Channel Art

To inject channel art into your profile, click on the ‘Customize Channel’ button present on your channel’s homepage. You can either upload your personalized channel art or choose from YouTube’s preset design library. Readjust the cropping of the image to make it appear aesthetically pleasing on various devices.

Augmenting Your YouTube Channel

Enhance your channel description, incorporate links in your channel banner, design a channel trailer to exhibit your videos, and provide your contact information for business-related interactions.
