Start Your YouTube Marketing By Creating A YouTube Channel

Creating your YouTube channel is the first step. Creating your channel is very easy. But if you want to create a channel for a business or marketing, you should consider putting in some effort to start with a strong base. Here are some of the ways you can do that.

Create a dedicated new Google account

You need a google account to create your YouTube channel. Your YouTube channel will be associated with your mail account. Because it’s a business account, you may not want to link it with your personal user account. We recommend you open a new Google account for your YouTube channel.

Create your YouTube brand account

Once you have opened your new Google account, you can create your YouTube channel. You can open a brand account for better results. A brand account allows multiple people to manage and edit one account. A brand account also makes it easier to analyze your needs and make edits.

Personalize your account

After opening your account, you need to personalize or add essential information to your account. This will help your audience to understand your account and its intent. Personalization also help your audience recognize your account quickly.

You can link your website or blogs. You can also add your socials for better communications or followings.

Add a trailer

YouTube allows you to add a small video viewable by people who have not already subscribed to your account. When someone who hasn’t yet subscribed visits to your channel visits to your account, your trailer is automatically played. Trailers should be short, engaging, and informative.

Create your team

If you create your YouTube account for business, YouTube lets you add people in different roles to manage your account. You can add them as an owner, manager, or communications manager to your account. They can edit and manage your account as needed. You can edit their roles or remove them anytime.

Create your community

When you start your YouTube channel, you will not have any subscribers to start. You have to build your community. Start by letting the people around you know about your channel. But if you don’t get enough subscribers or want a head start, you can consider buying subscribers. You can buy YouTube subscribers online as well.

Optimize your channel

After you’ve set up your account, you can start uploading your fantastic content. In some cases, you may not get expected views even after uploading quality content because your content is not reaching its audience. These are the things you have to keep in mind to ensure the videos reach their target audience.

Title

Your video title is the first piece of information a viewer gets about your video. The title should be exciting and engaging. The viewer should feel curious to know more about your video just by looking at the title. You can add a tag to make it even easier to reach. Keep it straight to the point.

Keywords

Keywords help your video to get correlated with other similar videos. You can add some commonly searched keywords. Adding those will help your video to appear when something similar is searched.

 Keywords play a significant role in increasing your videos reach. So, make sure to analyze the frequent searches and add some good ones.

Category

When you upload your video, YouTube asks you to categorize your video under their “advanced settings.” Categorizing helps your video to reach the viewers who are interested in similar categories. That way, you get more clicks, and more people get to know about your work.

Thumbnail

Thumbnail is an image that is shown beside your video title in the list of videos or search results. This is what stops viewers when they are scrolling through videos. YouTube recommends some thumbnails, which are images from your video. You can use them if you want, but we suggest making your thumbnail.

 Be sure to avoid clickbait as they can make your audience lose trust in you.

Playlists

Playlists are a collection of several videos listed together by the creator, which play one after another. You can create playlists with your videos that have a similar category or somehow interconnected. Listing random videos can make your viewers drop out of your playlist. You can even list other creator’s videos.

Marketing Strategies

Now that you have created your YouTube channel for business and optimized it, you can now focus on marketing strategies. There are many ways you can do that. Don’t stick with one or two; try as many as possible.

Social Media

It is known to all that social media platforms are one of the best marketing places. Link all your social media handles to your channel and let your viewers know. Every time you upload a video, make sure to share it on your socials.

When you share your video, be sure to write something about the video. So, the viewers know what to expect from your video.

Collaborations

Collaborating with the creators who are prevalent in your community can be a great way to attract new subscribers. When you are choosing collaborators, make sure to choose someone who has similar content to yours. Ask them to link your channel in the description box.

Interaction with your community

If you want to know what your viewers think about your videos or what kind of videos they want, you need to read comments. Reading comments will make it easier for you to know your community. Ask them for suggestions about how you can do better.

 When they leave comments, make sure to read them and reply to as many of them as possible.

Schedule

YouTube allows you to upload your videos in advance and schedule them as you want. You should have a specific routine of uploading, and it could be once a week or twice a week. You can use the schedule option to ensure regularity. Make your videos ahead of time and schedule them.

Even if you fail to upload new videos, your scheduled videos will make sure your subscribers don’t know about it.

Advertisement

If your funds are stable, you can try paid promotions. YouTube uses a “cost per view” method for running your ads. This means you get charged every time your ad is played. If someone skips your ad, you will not be charged.

To sum up

That is how you can set up your YouTube channel for marketing. You will not get success in one day, but don’t lose hope. Analyze your account and your favorite YouTuber and improve accordingly. Keep creating and uploading all that fantastic content.
