How To Make A YouTube Channel For Beginners And Make Money

 So you can actually make some money right because that's kind of a cool thing

That's what everyone hopes to go through and do now this is something I've become

Super passionate about because I've seen how YouTube has really helped transform and affect my business

Or the last nine months or so that I started

I started back in January 2018 of this year and you can see right here on my channel

I have just over thirteen thousand subscribers

So obviously there's channels that have a lot more subscribers than my channel

But the cool thing is you guys can see here from ad revenue. I'm gonna make about

$2,600 just shy of twenty six hundred dollars in ad revenue

In the past thirty days in the last month

$2,600 and that doesn't count any core sales or anything like that. That's just an ad revenue, which is pretty cool

And that's also why I'm so passionate YouTube and I honestly think everyone should start a YouTube channel whether you're camera shy or not

you need to start a YouTube channel my my wife and my brother actually make fun of me because every single person I mean

I'm like n you need a sorry YouTube channel. This can be so awesome. And this actually kind of hit me about probably well

I think was last month

I was flying home from San Francisco and I would flew into the Salt Lake area Airport and

When I got there, there was this older gentleman

He was probably in his 70s

And he was vacuuming the floors in the airport

And I'm like man if this guy only would have started YouTube channel ten years ago

he could have some passive income coming in and he wouldn't have to be here as a janitor and

Vacuuming the floors at 1:00 a.m. Cuz I guarantee you he does not want to be there doesn't want to do that

So guys, that's why I'm so passionate about YouTube

so in this video

I want to break down step by step and show you guys everything

That you need to do if you're getting started with YouTube of how to structure the channel the right way

And I've got this all laid out step by step, but actually even made a checklist for you guys

So you guys drop a comment down below I'll be able to share this with you

And if you guys find this video helpful, I would really appreciate it

If you guys give it a thumbs up

it helps more people be able to find this and the great thing about YouTube guys is when I

First started I thought that oh man. I can't get started YouTube because there's so much competition

But the truth is if somebody's gonna watch let's say a fitness channel

Which there's millions of Fitness channels and someone's in a into fitness less. Let's say intermittent fasting

That person that's into intermittent fasting. They're not only watching one person's Channel

They're probably gonna watch five to ten other intermittent fasting channels. And that's the beauty about YouTube the collaboration

It's not like because they bought one product. I'm not gonna buy another one. It's not because they're watching one channel

They're not gonna watch another one. So as far as competition goes, it's kind of irrelevant

Right, so that's why I want to go through and break down step by step why you should start youtube channel really doesn't matter what?

Business you're in doesn't matter what you're passionate about just jump in and start a channel

So the first thing on this checklist you can see is create a new

YouTube channel right now if you guys have a gmail account just go to

Youtube.com/scishow

Searched in Google new YouTube channel, very top result create a YouTube channel

But since I already have a channel the thing is it won't let me go through and just create a new channel

So I've got to come over here. I've got this other link popped up and let's see right here. So

It's got under this email address. It has all my different channels. So these ones are two random ones

I don't remember why I started those but this is my main channel. This is our software's channel about an 46 subscribers

We haven't really focused too much on that but all I have to do is just click on create a new channel right here

Okay, and I'll add that link down below in the description as well. So you guys can go through and grab that

And so we're gonna say we're gonna call this a test

Channel and guys the nice thing about Google Facebook YouTube all these different platforms

They really make this so easy. They walk you through step by step

So if you're brand new total beginner, you're not really sure how to go through and make this all happen

They just walk you through. Okay, so we're just gonna hit create on this channel and

Then it's gonna walk us through this whole creation process. My internet is okay. So now we're here

Okay

So test channel what we can do now we click over here create a cover photo and upload your profile picture now

These ones are kind of well doesn't really matter which one you do first

So I'm gonna actually go through and upload

My profile picture just goes right here gonna click on this and it says edit your channel icon. Okay, and

Then I'm just gonna go through and upload a photo so I've got one

It's got my profile picture right here on my desktop right there. So just click open and then

Once my internet goes dun dun dun and

Then sometimes it takes a second to go through and get fully updated on your channel

Now they kind of kicked me to a weird screen. So let's get back over to YouTube here

So we click on YouTube now if we want to go back to like where we go and edit everything

We just click on this top little icon

We click on that and we go to this YouTube studio or sometimes it's creator studio

This is kind of a newer addition. So YouTube studio beta or we can just go to my channel

And we can click on customize channel, right?

so the second thing we want to do if we look over here on this check list is

Create a cover photo now. I don't know about you. I'm not a designer

I'm not very good at like making things look nice. And so I use a 100% free tool that is called canva

canv AECOM you can see all of the different things that I

Create on here. This is where I did create this checklist and then you come over here. It's got all these pre-built

Templates the sizes like this is where I create all my YouTube thumbnails, right? So we're just gonna click on more and then

We're gonna come down here and it's gonna have one who has the YouTube

So you see social media and email headers YouTube thumbnail. And then where is it? YouTube channel art right there

So we click on that and they've got all these pre-built designs that we can go through and use for our business

So like let's say you like this one right here

Or maybe like you like this one right here and you see they've got all these different free options

They have some paid options

But you can just really go through and choose whatever you then you want to upload a picture you can upload it

There you can add text add elements

You can change out the text right over here so we can say we're gonna call this our test

Channel something like that

We can't go through and just really customize

Everything that's going on here. So this looks like this is actual so we'll go like this

Okay, and then you just hit download?

We'll hit download right there saving your design and they just gonna download it to our desktop so that we can then

Go upload it as our channel art. Okay, so it's right there

Okay drag to our desktop hit add channel art, and then we're just gonna drag this on over

upload it and

Then we just sit. Okay, you can see you can adjust the crop if you want to this looks good to me

So I'm just gonna hit select

Save right there and guys notice. It hasn't updated my profile picture. Sometimes it takes a minute for that to go through and upload

So if you did upload it and it's not looking like it's uploaded. Don't worry. It's it's just totally fine. It's it's there

It just takes sometimes a minute to go through and stay uploaded. So we're going through we're moving through the checklist guys

We've got crate new channel create the cover photo create upload the profile picture and then upload defaults, right?

So what I like to do is every time you upload a video

sometimes there's things that you want as tags or defaults every single time that you upload a video and also

You can go through and make channel keywords. Like let's say your channel is about

basketball for example

so if it's for about basketball you want probably to have the channel keywords to say basketball or basketball drills or

NBA or LeBron James or something like that? So we'll come over here

We'll click on this little creator studio

And then this will take us back in where we can manage all the comments the videos

Everything that has to do with our Channel

Well hit got it now this YouTube studio beta this is kind of newer

I usually like to kind of use the classic crater studio. So I'm just gonna actually click right down here creator studio classic

Okay, and I'm just gonna hit skip just for this example. It's gonna take just gonna be easier for me to show you guys

What's going on? So when you come here to the channel and

Then we're gonna click on upload defaults right here. Okay

So for upload defaults, this is where we can go in here. And this is where we can add tags to our videos

so for example, we want our videos to be tagged with basketball and maybe,

LeBron James or Kobe

Bryant or whatever it is and we can add tags

So every time a video is uploaded we don't have to go through and put in all those tags

but it's important to have those tags that are

specific to that video then after we save this what we want to do is come down to

Advanced and this is actually where we're gonna go through and put in the channel keywords

Okay, so this is gonna be big the country

I usually like to go through and actually do the country that you live in so I'm in the United States so United States

Right there and the channel keywords

This is where we can go through and throw that in okay, cuz then then YouTube associates your channel with these specific keywords

So if your channels keyword is basketball and then you go make a video on basketball

it makes it really nice to be able to go through and

actually

Link it back in and get into the search rankings

Okay, now all this other stuff as far as link in an AdWords account

this is only really you can only actually go make money with ads after you have 1,000 subscribers and

4,000 watch hours, which you guys can actually get there fairly quickly if you're uploading

Consistent videos right now. I'm not gonna go to that on this channel or on this video right now

But this is kind of the basics once you guys get to 1000 subscribers

you can link an AdWords account and go through and get some Adsense running so you can actually

Make some money from the ads. You're actually running on your videos. Okay. So once we have this down, we'll come over here

So we got the upload defaults and the channel stuff

We're gonna go and find the top ten channels in our niche now

This is really important when we're going through and creating videos to know which videos to create because we want to find

What videos are already popular case?

So this is kind of like a little bit of a video hacking technique of knowing what videos to go through and crates

So if our channel is on basketball we can goes through and in basketball right here and let's say it's more on

basketball drills

Okay, so like if your focus is basketball drills

Then you can come in here and we want to find the top like ten channels or so

So we're gonna come in here and click on filter and then we're gonna go over to Channel

Okay, so then we can kind of see what are the top channels so break through basketball pro training basketball drills and skills basketball

So you can see which one's ball or boot candy you can see which ones have a lot of followers

I love basketball TV. These guys are really good

These guys are really good at going through and doing their YouTube market as well get handles basketball

so now what I do is I'm gonna find the top ten channels or so and

I will come over here and I will make a Trello board

So Trell is another free tool so it's tre llo comm and I create a list you can see this is my youtube

Tutorial one and I can say top channels. Okay, and then I'm gonna make a card in here. So I

love

Basketball TV. Okay, and then another one is

Baller boot camp. Okay, so I come in here

This is just for my research so I can go through and find out what channels are hot

Which one's should I go through and find out what videos were popular which ones I can go and make my own?

Version of that video. So we're just gonna go through and make this list right here

And then what we're gonna do is come in here and type in

ideas, and then we're gonna say creating and then done or you could even say

Created okay

So now what I like to do is I have the top channels

So find top 10 channels in your niche and then find the top three to five videos from each one of these channels

so the reason why I want to do this is because

These channels their top videos are actually so exposing to us and showing us what people are interested in watching

Okay, so we come over here to basketball drills. So for example this ball or bootcamp almost two hundred thousand subscribers

We click on them and then

We come over. Hey guys, Auggie Johnson baller boot camp doc. And then what we can do is come over here and sort

We click sort by

Most popular and then from the most popular thing we can see okay

Kyrie Irving crossover how to basketball moves basketball tips and fundamentals how to shoot how to URIs F

So it looks like in this market a lot of these how-to videos are super super catchy

Right so we can come over here and we can see like okay Kyrie Irving cross. All right

well, it's so like we can make a video how to

Perform, Kyrie Irving's crossover. Okay. So then we just come over here to Trello. Okay, we could say how to

perform or how to do

Kyrie Irving's

Crossover, okay

and then we go down and we just like we don't want to do every single in the videos but videos where we like

Oh, I can have my own take on that like maybe this one bought basketball fundamentals and tips

I'm like

I don't really know but man James Harden his gyro step like I can totally go through and make a video that it's just as

Good and sometimes like what I like to do is I get the idea

but I don't actually watch the video because sometimes when you watch the video it kind of changed your way of thinking you're like

Oh, that's how they did. So on. That's how I'm gonna do it

But if you go through and you just see like what the topic is and you don't watch the video and you make your own

Spin and renditions on it, then it becomes a lot more quality of a video and it's very unique and custom to you

Okay, so now we come down here

and usually what I like to do is get about, you know, three to five starting out, but then what you get

You know you run out of videos right here, and you're crazy

so once you once you go through and you create a video you moved over to creating once you're done you move it over to

Create it and this is how you keep track of everything

Okay, then once you run out of ideas here

Which this should get you about 30 to 50 videos right out of the gate just different topics and ideas

if you're finding your top 10 channels and

From each one of those you're finding the top three to five videos that you can go through and create from those channels

Making a huge list right here

So like let's say a b c d e so you got all these videos right here and then when it's like okay, man

Like today, I'm feeling like making this one move it to creating. Okay, I'm done. Move it to done

Okay

So then you go through and you're just this is how I really keep

my videos super organized and this is how I go through and keep all of my my

Research for all the channels and what videos are hot?

which ones are not and seeing which types of videos that I can go through and crate now if you have a

Topic that obviously comes to your mind. You're like man I'm passion about this

I really wanted to do it even if it's not like a hot topic on one of these channels

By all means go for it create it that I mean, that's totally cool. Obviously

But this is just one thing that most youtubers struggle with is after they've gotten some content

They've got some videos up after about 30 40 50 videos like man. What else should I make as a video
