Hi, welcome to AndasonMajid Tech! Today, I will guide you step-by-step on how you can create your own YouTube channel and start posting your videos. YouTube is one of the most popular platforms in the world for sharing videos. Whether you want to share tutorials, music, vlogs, gaming, reviews, or even just memories, having your own YouTube channel gives you the chance to reach millions of viewers globally.
But before you can start uploading videos, the very first step is to create a YouTube channel. Don’t worry it’s simple, and I’ll walk you through everything.
Step 1: Make Sure You Have a Google Account
YouTube is owned by Google, so to create a YouTube channel, you must first have a Google account.
If you don’t already have one, I’ve written a full guide to help you create it. You can check it out here:

If you already have a Google account, you’re ready to move to the next step.
Step 2: Login to Your Google Account
Open your browser and go to YouTube.com. At the top right corner, click on Sign In.
Enter your Google email and password.
Once logged in, you can access all YouTube features.
Step 3: Create Your YouTube Channel
After logging in, click on your profile picture (top right corner).
From the dropdown menu, select Create a Channel.
You’ll be asked to choose between using your name or creating a custom channel name.
If you’re creating a personal vlog channel, you can use your name.
If you’re creating a brand or business channel, it’s better to create a custom name that matches your niche.
Upload a profile picture (something simple and clear).
Add a channel description where you explain what type of content you will upload.
Click Create Channel. Congratulations you now officially own a YouTube channel!
Step 4: Customize Your Channel
Before you upload your first video, it’s important to make your channel attractive.
Channel Banner: Upload a header image that represents your brand. Recommended size: 2560 x 1440 pixels.
About Section: Write about yourself or your brand, including what kind of content you’ll post.
Links & Contact Info: Add your social media handles, website (like your AndasonMajid.com), or email so people can connect with you.
A well-customized channel gives a professional look and helps attract more subscribers.
Step 5: Upload Your First Video
Now it’s time to bring your channel to life!
Click on the Create (+ icon) at the top of YouTube.
Select Upload Video.
Choose the video file from your computer.
Add a Title and Description (make them clear and engaging).
Use Tags/Keywords related to your video so people can find it easily.
Choose a good Thumbnail (the image people see before clicking your video).
Select the video’s visibility (Public, Unlisted, or Private).
Finally, click Publish.
Boom your first video is live!
Step 6: Optimize for Growth
If you want your channel to grow, follow these tips:
Upload videos consistently (e.g., once or twice a week).
Use catchy titles that include keywords.
Make sure your thumbnails are attractive.
Interact with your audience by replying to comments.
Share your videos on Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram, and your blog.
