However, Google accounts don\u2019t automatically create YouTube channels. Getting a new channel set up is a simple and quick process, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-go-to-youtube-and-sign-in\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Go_to_YouTube_and_sign_in\"><\/span><strong>1.

For this example, we\u2019ll choose the &#8220;Use custom name&#8221; option, which is recommended for small businesses and brands:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/content\/images\/2020\/09\/YouTube-create-channel---personal-or-business.png\" alt=\"You have the option create a YouTube channel with your name or a custom name.\"\/><figcaption>You have the option create a YouTube channel with your name or a custom name.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, you&#8217;ll name your channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/content\/images\/2020\/09\/Create-a-YouTube-channel-custom-name.png\" alt=\"Creating a name for your YouTube channel\"\/><figcaption>Creating a name for your YouTube channel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Note: As you&#8217;ll see from the settings at this step, creating a new channel name will also create a new Google account with its own settings and YouTube history. This account nests within your main Google account and can be fully managed from the Google settings. It&#8217;s quite useful as you can use this new account to like and comment on other YouTube videos and participate in YouTube as your brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After this step, you&#8217;ll have the chance to further customize your channel.

Channel art features in a prominent place on your YouTube channel, which means it\u2019s absolutely vital for any YouTube channel to use customized art to share your personality or more about your brand with your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gary is well-known for his public speaking at conferences and for sharing all he knows about marketing and building businesses with his audience. This is reflected in his cover photo, which displays Gary in mid-flow giving a presentation. The channel art also serves as a promotion tool for The Gary Vee Video Experience and reinforces the cadence of new videos on Mondays through Fridays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a couple other examples for inspiration:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/content\/images\/2020\/09\/YouTube-channel-art-from-The-Cut.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/watchcut\">The Cut uses its channel art<\/a>&nbsp;to advocate for Black Lives Matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/content\/images\/2020\/09\/YouTube-channel-art-from-Khan-Academy-1.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/khanacademy\">Khan Academy uses its channel art<\/a>&nbsp;to reinforce its brand, mentioning its tagline and showing off some of the fun characters and brand design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ok, now that you have some options in mind for what your channel art could be, here is what you need to know to create your optimal YouTube channel art &#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-perfect-sizes-for-youtube-channel-art\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_perfect_sizes_for_YouTube_channel_art\"><\/span>The perfect sizes for YouTube channel art<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The best place to start with your channel art is with an\u00a0optimal image size\u00a0that works across multiple devices. For the best results,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/youtube\/answer\/2972003?hl=en-GB\">YouTube recommends<\/a>\u00a0uploading a single\u00a0<strong>2560 x 1440 pixel image<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Minimum width: 2048 X 1152 px.

On TVs, the channel art appears in the background, behind the content on your YouTube channel. On desktop and mobile devices, it appears as a banner across the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tools-and-tips-for-creating-youtube-channel-art\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tools_and_tips_for_creating_YouTube_channel_art\"><\/span>Tools and tips for creating YouTube channel art<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, YouTube has supplied a Channel Art Template to help you figure out the perfect layout for your channel art and how it\u2019ll look across platforms. Here&#8217;s a preview of the template:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/content\/images\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/Channel-Art-Template-Fireworks.png\" alt=\"channel-art-template-fireworks\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can absolutely use the ideal dimensions that we mentioned above in order to create your channel art from scratch using a tool like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/figma.com\/\">Figma<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/adobe.com\/photoshop\">Photoshop<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nowadays, the easiest way to get up and running with your channel art is to hop into a free image creator like&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/canva.com\/\">Canva<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/spark.adobe.com\/\">Adobe Spark<\/a>. These tools have ready-to-go YouTube templates you can quickly customize to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an example of a channel art template within Canva:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/content\/images\/2020\/09\/YouTube-channel-art-template-in-Canva.png\" alt=\"YouTube channel art template in Canva\"\/><figcaption>YouTube channel art template in Canva<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-top-tips-for-youtube-channel-art\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_top_tips_for_YouTube_channel_art\"><\/span><strong>2 top tips for YouTube channel art<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-ensure-any-text-and-logos-are-within-the-safe-area\"><strong>1.

This is the area that will be displayed on YouTube when your channel is viewed on desktop screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Traditionally, the parts outside the safe area run the risk of being covered or illegible because of overlaid social links or profile pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be careful to ensure any important information such as branding, text, taglines, and key images are within the safe space so that they&#8217;re always displayed as part of your channel art across every device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-consider-your-channel-links\"><strong>2. Consider your channel links<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>YouTube enables you to add links to your channel and these are displayed in the bottom right corner, overlaid on top of your channel art. For example, check the bottom right of the channel art below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When creating your channel art, it\u2019s important to think about the space these links take up and ensure you don\u2019t have anything important (such as logos) occupying that space within your design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-add-art-to-your-youtube-channel\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_add_art_to_your_YouTube_channel\"><\/span>How to add art to your YouTube channel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re just setting up your YouTube channel, you\u2019ll notice the channel art space (along with the rest of your channel). To add art to your YouTube channel as well as make any other customizations, click the Customize Channel button in the top right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/content\/images\/2020\/09\/YouTube-channel-getting-started.png\" alt=\"YouTube channel: Getting started from scratch?

Click on that icon and you\u2019ll be able to upload a new profile icon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-ways-to-enhance-your-channel\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_ways_to_enhance_your_channel\"><\/span>5 ways to enhance your channel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-optimize-your-description\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Optimize_your_description\"><\/span><strong>1.

The description is limited to 1,000 characters, so you have a little room to be creative here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The copy in your channel description won\u2019t just appear on your channel page. It\u2019s indexed by search engines and can also be featured across YouTube in suggested channel categories and search results.&nbsp;<strong>A good tactic is to include some relevant keywords and CTAs within the opening lines of your description.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And be especially mindful of the first 100-150 characters. Depending on where the description appears, the remaining text could be truncated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s an example of a great YouTube channel description from Vox:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/content\/images\/2020\/09\/Vox-YouTube-description.png\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption>Vox&#8217;s YouTube description on the About tab<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-add-links-to-your-channel\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Add_links_to_your_channel\"><\/span><strong>2.

You can have up to five links appear in your channel&#8217;s banner. The first link will appear expanded (see screenshot below), and the remaining links will show up as icons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/content\/images\/2020\/09\/MeUndies-YouTube-channel-custom-links.png\" alt=\"MeUndies links to their homepage and four social profiles in their YouTube banner\"\/><figcaption>MeUndies links to their homepage and four social profiles in their YouTube banner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d love to share with you how to add these links in four super-quick steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.<\/strong>&nbsp;Click the &#8220;Customize Channel&#8221; button on your channel&#8217;s homepage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.&nbsp;<\/strong>Then click on the gear icon in the upper-right corner, just beneath your cover art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3.<\/strong>&nbsp;You\u2019ll see a Channel Settings lightbox appear.

Add a channel trailer<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as visitors land on your channel, you want to give them a picture of the type of content your channel covers and why they\u2019ll want to subscribe and check out your videos. A channel trailer is the perfect way to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A short, to-the-point 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 also represent the type of content you create on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s also important to think about the description you add to this video as it features prominently on your channel homepage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(These trailers only appear for people who are not yet subscribed to your channel.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a look at where this trailer appears on your channel homepage. Note how the video is at left and the title and description appear to the right? That&#8217;s a lot of prime real estate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/content\/images\/2020\/09\/Pitchfork-YouTube-channel-featured-trailer-video.png\" alt=\"The channel trailer takes a prime position on the YouTube channel page.\"\/><figcaption>The channel trailer takes a prime position on the YouTube channel page.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4.

YouTube has a section on each channel profile for you to list your contact details for business inquiries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be found under the \u201cAbout\u201d section of your channel. To find it, go to your channel homepage, click \u201cAbout\u201d from the navigation and then scroll down to \u201cDetails.\u201d Here you\u2019ll see the option to share your email address:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/content\/images\/library\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/email-address.png\" alt=\"email-addressAdding your email address can be a great way for fans &amp; customers to reach you\"\/><\/figure>\n<div class=\"3b0f01c982c849478b934f73fd22ce2a\" data-index=\"1\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-2361696526152498\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- apps responsive ads -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-2361696526152498\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"4647471924\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Creating a YouTube channel using your Google account If you have a Google account, you can watch, share and comment on YouTube content.
