Hey everyone, welcome to my Blog!
This is Meiling, a regular contributor, blogger, Vlogger, and marketers. In this article, I am going to show you how to get your channel started quickly and easily.

Getting Started on YouTube

What’s great about YouTube is it’s a platform where you can speak up and show your voice, share and build communities using videos.
After seeing the growth of the YouTube community, I find it is really a great place to start out if you want to have a career on it or prepare for your future goal.

All of you have a passion to share and something to say, I am going to show you how easy it is to start your own YouTube Channel.

Let’s Get Started.

1. Sign in to YouTube using a Google Account
2. Create a channel

Go to your account ‘settings’, and click ‘create a new channel’

My YouTube Channel: Meiling Wu

The channel name will default to your first and last name, but if you want to create a channel with a different name, click “use a business or other name”, and you will be prompted to create a brand account.

Brand account

let you create a specific name and allow multiple people to manage it, and it is nice when you, later on, have people helping you out.

It is important to have a great name since the audience can understand better about what you do if you communicate these messages clearly.

And that is pretty much the first step in getting started on YouTube.

Check out next blog talking about how to take off your YouTube channel and potentially how to make money through YouTube!
