1
00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:05,640
All right, so I'm going to walk you through the entire process really fast of setting up your own YouTube

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:06,030
channel.

3
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:09,920
Now, most people, I would say probably ninety five percent of people already know how to do this.

4
00:00:09,930 --> 00:00:14,610
So if you know how to set your YouTube channel up or sign up for a YouTube channel and all the basics

5
00:00:14,610 --> 00:00:16,620
that come with that, feel free to skip this lecture.

6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:20,340
But I just want to assume, you know, because there are people out there that have never done that

7
00:00:20,340 --> 00:00:21,840
before, and that's totally OK.

8
00:00:21,900 --> 00:00:23,160
I've been in that boat as well.

9
00:00:23,490 --> 00:00:24,390
Everybody has.

10
00:00:24,510 --> 00:00:26,400
You know, that's how you start on YouTube, right.

11
00:00:26,700 --> 00:00:30,300
So if you already understand this, skip this lecture, it's fine if you don't already understand this.

12
00:00:30,330 --> 00:00:31,220
Watch this lecture.

13
00:00:31,230 --> 00:00:33,250
I will show you how to set your YouTube channel up.

14
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:35,520
Now, obviously, I don't need to do this.

15
00:00:35,540 --> 00:00:37,590
I have a number of other YouTube channels.

16
00:00:37,620 --> 00:00:38,550
I've got a main one.

17
00:00:38,850 --> 00:00:39,240
I have some.

18
00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:40,830
Is my ad channel, actually.

19
00:00:41,220 --> 00:00:42,900
This is my content channel I just launched.

20
00:00:42,900 --> 00:00:44,670
And this is my other e commerce channel.

21
00:00:44,700 --> 00:00:48,700
So there's a bunch of channels that I actually run, but my main channel right now has about twenty

22
00:00:48,700 --> 00:00:51,330
four thousand subscribers and counting.

23
00:00:51,370 --> 00:00:53,040
OK, so you can.

24
00:00:53,370 --> 00:00:57,570
Which is also goes to show because one of the pushbacks and it's kind of funny that I get all the time

25
00:00:57,570 --> 00:01:01,470
from like skeptics or, you know, people that are, you know, keyboard warriors out there.

26
00:01:01,470 --> 00:01:05,880
It's like, oh, let me take advice from somebody that only has twenty four thousand subscribers.

27
00:01:05,890 --> 00:01:08,430
And it's like, yeah, good, good burn number one.

28
00:01:08,460 --> 00:01:09,450
But also number two.

29
00:01:09,450 --> 00:01:13,830
And more importantly, it's like I would argue that my channel at twenty four thousand subscribers,

30
00:01:13,860 --> 00:01:17,970
while it's the majority of the channel, my main channel is twenty four thousand subscribers.

31
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,790
It's around a a very, very small niche.

32
00:01:20,820 --> 00:01:25,070
That's very kind of e-commerce and, you know, online arbitrage specific.

33
00:01:25,140 --> 00:01:27,840
So there's not that many people out there that are looking for that, number one.

34
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:29,130
So that answers that question.

35
00:01:29,370 --> 00:01:35,700
But also to I would argue that I make equal, if not more, ad revenue than other bigger channels out

36
00:01:35,700 --> 00:01:39,990
there already with just 24000 subscribers because of my CPM is so high.

37
00:01:40,230 --> 00:01:45,330
And also I monetize with affiliate links in other ways in selling my courses like this one, for example,

38
00:01:45,630 --> 00:01:46,710
that other people are not doing.

39
00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:46,930
Right.

40
00:01:47,550 --> 00:01:49,350
So a lot of people don't understand.

41
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:53,520
It's like you can make great money right off the bat, even if you have no subscribers.

42
00:01:53,550 --> 00:01:53,760
Right.

43
00:01:53,790 --> 00:01:58,350
If you're linking, you know, quality affiliate links or you're linking products in your you know,

44
00:01:58,380 --> 00:02:02,450
your descriptions, there's a multitude of ways to actually monetize YouTube.

45
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,830
YouTube, you know, ad revenue is just one of them.

46
00:02:05,100 --> 00:02:08,160
Obviously, affiliate marketing and CPM marketing are other another one.

47
00:02:08,820 --> 00:02:11,040
So you can make money right from the get go.

48
00:02:11,070 --> 00:02:13,590
That's the whole point that I'm trying to convey to you here.

49
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:13,790
OK.

50
00:02:13,860 --> 00:02:18,000
So it doesn't matter if you have, you know, little subscribers, doesn't matter if you have a lot

51
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:18,510
of subscribers.

52
00:02:18,510 --> 00:02:23,550
It doesn't matter if you're just starting get it up and running, get some organic good videos out there

53
00:02:23,550 --> 00:02:25,680
and draw organic eyes and organic traffic.

54
00:02:25,710 --> 00:02:28,440
And you can monetize a YouTube channel right off the bat.

55
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:28,770
OK.

56
00:02:29,130 --> 00:02:33,540
So it's been a long time since I've actually done this, but I kind of want to show you round one actually

57
00:02:33,540 --> 00:02:37,410
wrong browser, but I kind of wanna show you right from the get go for people that have never done this

58
00:02:37,410 --> 00:02:37,720
before.

59
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,410
So I'm just going to sign in right here on YouTube and you can see I'm signed out with a bunch of these.

60
00:02:42,420 --> 00:02:43,860
So let's use another account.

61
00:02:43,930 --> 00:02:45,500
We actually try to sign up for one.

62
00:02:45,570 --> 00:02:45,900
OK.

63
00:02:46,350 --> 00:02:50,190
So I'm going to go to create account, which is probably how you start and keep in mind, like, I haven't

64
00:02:50,190 --> 00:02:51,330
done this in years.

65
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:51,610
Right.

66
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:53,340
Like two or three years, probably.

67
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,890
If not maybe like a year ago.

68
00:02:56,070 --> 00:02:58,710
But so I'm gonna go to you can you're go to manage your business.

69
00:02:58,740 --> 00:03:00,600
But I'm gonna go to myself then.

70
00:03:00,630 --> 00:03:01,900
Obviously you're putting your name in.

71
00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:06,140
So you can if you want like a personal brand like mine is obviously my main channels around me.

72
00:03:06,150 --> 00:03:06,700
Brian Garra.

73
00:03:06,780 --> 00:03:07,740
That's my personal brand.

74
00:03:07,770 --> 00:03:10,020
If you want a personal brand, that's totally fine.

75
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,060
Cannot send my other channels are content.

76
00:03:12,060 --> 00:03:13,650
King, an e-commerce mentor.

77
00:03:13,690 --> 00:03:13,860
OK.

78
00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:17,610
So in that case and I would recommend just sticking with everything with your first name.

79
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:17,860
Right.

80
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,220
So if I was going to let's just make up one right here.

81
00:03:20,220 --> 00:03:25,970
Let's go like eCom clips, random person that my mind but just roll with it.

82
00:03:26,030 --> 00:03:26,190
OK.

83
00:03:26,310 --> 00:03:30,750
So if you're coming up with like a branded channel, then put everything in the first name, unless

84
00:03:30,780 --> 00:03:33,600
it's your actual name and you're actually coming up with a personal brand.

85
00:03:33,850 --> 00:03:36,210
And obviously, you know, that fills in perfectly.

86
00:03:36,510 --> 00:03:42,810
Now, I honestly don't remember a another email that I have on file right now, so let me find one.

87
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,760
So because I couldn't actually find an email, you know, I didn't want to make you wait for a while.

88
00:03:47,790 --> 00:03:49,140
I couldn't find a new email.

89
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,730
What I did is I basically just added this old channel here called Entrepreneur Clips.

90
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,850
But I don't actually use this or draw any attention to this.

91
00:03:55,860 --> 00:04:01,650
What I basically do is I upload files here so that I can grab the subtitles for Amazon video direct,

92
00:04:01,650 --> 00:04:06,000
which is another place that you can upload content and you'll actually learn how to do that later on

93
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:06,550
in this course.

94
00:04:06,570 --> 00:04:06,870
OK.

95
00:04:07,140 --> 00:04:12,440
So you understand why you can monetize your same videos on Amazon video direct or Amazon Prime video.

96
00:04:12,450 --> 00:04:13,530
Now they change the name.

97
00:04:13,770 --> 00:04:18,090
So just understand that this is a channel I've uploaded other content to just so I can get the subtitles

98
00:04:18,090 --> 00:04:18,720
off YouTube.

99
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:23,910
Because one of the things that YouTube does, though, do, which is very cool, is they oh, they literally

100
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,800
auto's subtitle on auto caption all your videos so you can utilize that and download those subtitles

101
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:29,610
if you need them.

102
00:04:30,210 --> 00:04:33,160
Just little caveat has nothing to do with setting up your YouTube channel.

103
00:04:33,300 --> 00:04:35,850
So if you don't know what I'm talking about, that's completely fine.

104
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:36,510
Just ignore it.

105
00:04:36,630 --> 00:04:39,270
OK, but so obviously have added a picture already.

106
00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:41,880
And where we are right here is we're on the my channel page.

107
00:04:41,910 --> 00:04:44,800
So once I created it, it's going to take you to like your YouTube page.

108
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:46,110
Just go to your channel.

109
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,210
Now, how you manage manage everything in the back end is YouTube studio.

110
00:04:49,260 --> 00:04:52,560
But I'm going to go on my channel right here and you'll see it takes me to this actual page.

111
00:04:52,580 --> 00:04:52,650
OK.

112
00:04:53,280 --> 00:04:58,980
Now, once you actually get stuff uploaded and I didn't mean to do that, let's x out of that.

113
00:04:59,990 --> 00:05:02,050
See that this is the back end of your channel.

114
00:05:02,300 --> 00:05:06,140
So over here you'll be able to see your channel analytics, your current subscribers, your who watch

115
00:05:06,140 --> 00:05:07,820
time, your views and all that good stuff.

116
00:05:07,850 --> 00:05:10,580
This is where you're going to upload videos and check your old videos.

117
00:05:10,580 --> 00:05:10,750
Right.

118
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,500
So you can see your old videos if you click.

119
00:05:12,530 --> 00:05:13,400
This right here.

120
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:15,020
You can obviously create playlists.

121
00:05:15,050 --> 00:05:17,570
You can go your comments and all that good stuff right here.

122
00:05:17,930 --> 00:05:18,890
Now, monetization.

123
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,480
A lot people asked this question before we actually jump over the videos is like, how do you actually

124
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,710
monetize your channel?

125
00:05:24,740 --> 00:05:25,780
What are the requirements?

126
00:05:25,790 --> 00:05:29,770
And this is something that I actually answered again in the ask Brian S. because it comes up a lot,

127
00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:33,530
but all you need to know is you won't be able to monetize with ad revenue right off the bat.

128
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,170
If you're starting a new channel, the requirements to monetize a channel now currently are 1000 subscribers

129
00:05:39,380 --> 00:05:41,320
and 4000 hours of total watch time.

130
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,100
So obviously, I'm, you know, nine hundred ninety nine subscribers away on this channel and I don't

131
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:47,080
have any watch time at all.

132
00:05:47,090 --> 00:05:48,710
So I need to come up with that number.

133
00:05:48,740 --> 00:05:49,040
OK.

134
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:55,040
And you have to hit that number that thousand subscribers in the 4000 hours watch time in a moving,

135
00:05:55,100 --> 00:05:56,960
rolling 365 day window.

136
00:05:56,990 --> 00:05:57,170
Right.

137
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,640
So as long as you hit it within a year, eventually, that's when you can then apply to join the partner

138
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,020
program.

139
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,460
By doing that, you got to monetization.

140
00:06:04,460 --> 00:06:06,140
You can see you're not eligible.

141
00:06:06,470 --> 00:06:08,960
Look, 4000 hours required, 1000 require.

142
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,920
Notify me when I'm eligible will be a great thing to do if you want to just get notified that way.

143
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:17,270
Not to worry about checking it all the time and then boom, they'll probably just email you or notify

144
00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:18,590
you, hey, you're eligible.

145
00:06:18,590 --> 00:06:19,400
Would you like to apply?

146
00:06:19,460 --> 00:06:19,730
OK.

147
00:06:20,060 --> 00:06:21,050
So just keep that in mind.

148
00:06:21,050 --> 00:06:22,160
That's monetization.

149
00:06:22,190 --> 00:06:26,390
But the good thing about affiliate marketing and CPA marketing as well, which is something else we're

150
00:06:26,390 --> 00:06:31,340
going to talk about later on in a lecture to come, which is very, very similar to affiliate marketing,

151
00:06:31,370 --> 00:06:33,590
is like you can monetize right off the bat.

152
00:06:33,620 --> 00:06:40,640
You don't need to actually just get you know, you don't need just to rely on ad revenue.

153
00:06:40,670 --> 00:06:42,190
There's many other ways to monetize it.

154
00:06:42,190 --> 00:06:43,560
Reads Channel right from the get go.

155
00:06:43,580 --> 00:06:43,870
OK.

156
00:06:44,270 --> 00:06:47,990
So now here we are in the YouTube video section where you see all the videos that I've uploaded.

157
00:06:48,020 --> 00:06:51,910
If your channel is brand new, which obviously we've touched on, this one isn't, you're not gonna

158
00:06:51,930 --> 00:06:52,820
have any videos, OK?

159
00:06:53,270 --> 00:06:56,210
Now, if you want to upload, you go over to create and upload videos.

160
00:06:56,270 --> 00:07:00,320
If you want to go live, which the majority of you probably won't be doing with YouTube affiliate marketing.

161
00:07:00,770 --> 00:07:04,130
But just something to keep in mind, if you want to ever use that feature is right there.

162
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:04,340
OK.

163
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,140
So upload videos is going to take you here.

164
00:07:06,380 --> 00:07:10,280
And then you select your files from your computer and you can upload a file right there.

165
00:07:10,310 --> 00:07:10,640
OK.

166
00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,460
And we're going to cover later on in this course as well.

167
00:07:13,500 --> 00:07:16,040
You know how to actually properly upload a YouTube video.

168
00:07:16,070 --> 00:07:17,180
Literally everything.

169
00:07:17,210 --> 00:07:20,890
You're going to be a master, a master at YouTube.

170
00:07:21,230 --> 00:07:25,580
Everything that I know is in this course later on in the actual YouTube section module.

171
00:07:25,790 --> 00:07:28,610
So you're going to get a number of valuable content.

172
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,440
It's a lot to go through, but it's really gonna help you out.

173
00:07:31,460 --> 00:07:33,260
So it's OK if you don't understand all this.

174
00:07:33,290 --> 00:07:36,710
I'm just going over how to set your channel up right now for beginners.

175
00:07:37,850 --> 00:07:40,870
So now we're over here on the main page right here.

176
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,860
So, like I said, might your channel right there.

177
00:07:42,980 --> 00:07:43,790
You're on your channel.

178
00:07:43,850 --> 00:07:46,250
This is where you actually get to set your channel up and customize it.

179
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:46,440
OK.

180
00:07:46,970 --> 00:07:51,260
So if you want to customize your channel right here, if you want to change your picture, I just kind

181
00:07:51,260 --> 00:07:52,430
of threw a random one in there.

182
00:07:52,940 --> 00:07:56,680
And the way that you can do that is use Cannava, which is something else we're gonna touch on.

183
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,440
So if you just go to Cannava dot com, it's a free place where you action.

184
00:08:00,780 --> 00:08:04,970
I'm not signed in right now, but I will when I show you that it's a free place that you can actually

185
00:08:04,970 --> 00:08:10,010
create, you know, kind of graphics and you can just create a square graphic on canvas and upload that

186
00:08:10,430 --> 00:08:11,150
to your channel.

187
00:08:11,330 --> 00:08:18,110
Or you can also simply just download a square, you know, image from either pixels or pixel bay or

188
00:08:18,110 --> 00:08:21,410
any stock photo site or literally just grab one off Google.

189
00:08:21,470 --> 00:08:26,750
I don't recommend Raggett grabbing an image off Google as your channel image because it can come with

190
00:08:26,750 --> 00:08:28,790
copyright issues, although you should be OK.

191
00:08:28,850 --> 00:08:35,270
So I just recommend probably searching for a common theme on a stock photo site like PIC's eBay or pixels

192
00:08:35,540 --> 00:08:36,360
just to be safe.

193
00:08:36,380 --> 00:08:39,260
And then as your channel grows, you can change that image if you want.

194
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,770
So really customize channel to set the channel up.

195
00:08:43,310 --> 00:08:45,500
Now, here you are in the customize section of your channel.

196
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:47,970
You can obviously feature other channels and add a link in there.

197
00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:50,870
So if you want to feature your other channels, that's great, too.

198
00:08:51,140 --> 00:08:53,270
And you could see that I actually do this on my main channel.

199
00:08:53,300 --> 00:08:57,620
If we come back here, my channel and you'll see over here.

200
00:08:57,650 --> 00:09:03,320
I actually host my other e-commerce channel and my new content channel where I create videos like this

201
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,650
on YouTube, an affiliate, marketing and stuff like that, you know, selling courses on other Web

202
00:09:07,650 --> 00:09:08,900
sites and stuff like that.

203
00:09:08,930 --> 00:09:09,110
OK.

204
00:09:09,530 --> 00:09:10,760
So that's how that's gonna look.

205
00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:12,380
That's where you're adding your feature channels.

206
00:09:12,410 --> 00:09:15,510
Now, here, you can basically go to the other channels that you feature.

207
00:09:15,530 --> 00:09:16,530
You can go to your discussion.

208
00:09:16,580 --> 00:09:20,840
You can go to the playlists that you have, which obviously I haven't created any playlists on my channel.

209
00:09:21,410 --> 00:09:25,070
You can create a new playlist from there or you can go to your videos and you're not going to have any

210
00:09:25,070 --> 00:09:26,840
videos if you're if your channel is brand new.

211
00:09:27,470 --> 00:09:30,410
And then if you go back home, you can feature content right here.

212
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:34,130
So for returning subscribers, you can obviously feature content.

213
00:09:34,220 --> 00:09:38,990
I usually don't do this for recurrent for returning subscribers because the first video that I went

214
00:09:38,990 --> 00:09:44,060
my returning subscribers so that people that already subscribe to the channel to see is my latest upload.

215
00:09:44,130 --> 00:09:48,590
OK, so I'm not going to feature a chart or a feature video for returning subscribers.

216
00:09:48,620 --> 00:09:53,810
You can, however, if you have a channel welcome or a video that you're starting to see is your most

217
00:09:53,810 --> 00:09:59,750
popular video to get more traction on that video or to give the best impression for new potential?

218
00:09:59,870 --> 00:10:04,220
Visitors to get them to subscribe and stay with their channel is the feature probably one of your most

219
00:10:04,220 --> 00:10:06,900
popular videos right here for new visitors?

220
00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:07,170
Rep.

221
00:10:07,460 --> 00:10:09,620
That kind of conveys what your channel's all about.

222
00:10:09,830 --> 00:10:13,280
Now, some people, you know, go all the way to create a welcome video.

223
00:10:13,310 --> 00:10:14,750
I haven't done that a long time.

224
00:10:14,750 --> 00:10:16,400
And I don't think that you need to.

225
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,930
Although if you have a good welcome video, it can help to explain, you know, what you're channels

226
00:10:20,930 --> 00:10:26,350
about, what the knish is, why people are going to benefit from watching your channel, unsubscribing,

227
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,290
first and foremost.

228
00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:28,430
All that good stuff.

229
00:10:28,460 --> 00:10:29,180
So keep that in mind.

230
00:10:29,180 --> 00:10:34,040
You can create a channel trailer, as they call it, or a welcome video, or you can just feature your

231
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,850
most popular video because clearly your most popular video is proven.

232
00:10:37,940 --> 00:10:42,170
And people that like your content, you know, obviously have shown you through the statistics and the

233
00:10:42,170 --> 00:10:43,680
facts of your most popular video.

234
00:10:43,730 --> 00:10:48,290
So you know that for a couple of months, probably once you get all the data and sometimes you'll have

235
00:10:48,290 --> 00:10:52,940
like a really a video that has no views or like a little little of use and all of a sudden it'll just

236
00:10:52,940 --> 00:10:54,800
go look and spike in views.

237
00:10:55,070 --> 00:10:57,740
And then maybe you want to feature that one as well, because it's doing so.

238
00:10:57,980 --> 00:10:58,970
Just something to keep in mind.

239
00:10:58,970 --> 00:11:01,070
You can have add a channel trailer for new visitors.

240
00:11:01,100 --> 00:11:04,370
But like I said, you don't need to do it for returning subscribers.

241
00:11:05,150 --> 00:11:08,690
So he's added I've added my my my picture right here.

242
00:11:08,690 --> 00:11:10,450
And you can do that once you're in customize.

243
00:11:10,460 --> 00:11:15,500
You can add your picture by clicking one of these little like a little pencil and then change your picture

244
00:11:15,500 --> 00:11:19,310
if you want to edit your channel icon or you can add chanler, add up here.

245
00:11:19,310 --> 00:11:22,100
So if you want Chanler again, you can go back to Canada.

246
00:11:22,340 --> 00:11:27,680
And that's something that you'll see once I go through the Canada tutorial is you can.

247
00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:28,770
And that's coming.

248
00:11:28,790 --> 00:11:29,240
Don't worry.

249
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,180
You can literally go to Canada and have a bunch of templates.

250
00:11:32,180 --> 00:11:34,460
It'll be like this is the template for a Facebook post.

251
00:11:34,580 --> 00:11:37,490
This is the template for a social media posts across platforms.

252
00:11:37,790 --> 00:11:40,870
This is the template for a Twitter, you know, channel art post.

253
00:11:41,140 --> 00:11:43,490
Oh, here's the template for a YouTube thumbnail.

254
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,240
And then there will be one that says, here's the template for a YouTube channel.

255
00:11:47,630 --> 00:11:48,830
You just grab that template.

256
00:11:48,860 --> 00:11:52,550
You throw a picture in there, you format it well, and then you add your channeler and it will literally

257
00:11:52,550 --> 00:11:55,040
pop up with the exact dimensions for the channel.

258
00:11:55,220 --> 00:11:56,260
That's why I love Canada.

259
00:11:56,300 --> 00:12:00,650
It's free to use, it's easy to use, and it comes with all the templates that you're going to need.

260
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:01,010
OK.

261
00:12:01,310 --> 00:12:04,850
Now, if you want a higher quality template, what I'd recommend that you do is obviously if you have

262
00:12:04,850 --> 00:12:08,910
design experience, you can create one like Photoshop and Lightroom or something like that.

263
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,990
And that's actually, believe it or not, a section in this course as well.

264
00:12:12,010 --> 00:12:12,200
Right.

265
00:12:12,230 --> 00:12:18,070
I'm going to teach you how to create professional thumbnails in four easy steps in like 20 minutes max.

266
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:18,210
Right.

267
00:12:18,260 --> 00:12:21,050
So the cool, like a little section of the course is 20 minutes.

268
00:12:21,260 --> 00:12:24,800
But like, once you get that down, you're gonna be able to create them in like 30 seconds to like two

269
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:25,070
minutes.

270
00:12:25,090 --> 00:12:26,960
So it's really, really beneficial.

271
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:31,520
And obviously, you can use that same insight and in that actual section were going to cover Cannava.

272
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:35,090
We're also going to cover Photoshop and Lightroom, if you need more insight on that.

273
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:37,040
So don't sleep on that's coming.

274
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,450
But just understand the basics.

275
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,070
Now we're just kind of going over the basics.

276
00:12:40,850 --> 00:12:45,650
So if you want to add channel art, you have graphic design experience and obviously take it on yourself

277
00:12:45,650 --> 00:12:46,070
to do that.

278
00:12:46,100 --> 00:12:47,240
And that's perfectly fine.

279
00:12:47,630 --> 00:12:50,720
Or you can simply go to like fiber, which is another great site.

280
00:12:50,750 --> 00:12:55,910
That's not what I want to click go to Fiber, which is another great site where you can hire somebody

281
00:12:55,910 --> 00:12:58,640
and literally just go to YouTube channel.

282
00:12:59,130 --> 00:12:59,370
Right.

283
00:12:59,420 --> 00:13:01,730
And I hire on fiber all the time.

284
00:13:02,090 --> 00:13:02,780
All the time.

285
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:04,430
Because it's super easy.

286
00:13:04,550 --> 00:13:05,750
I just click my orders tab.

287
00:13:06,050 --> 00:13:07,610
So just kind of flash really fast.

288
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:08,950
I've ordered a lot on canvas.

289
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:11,930
And I don't wanna show you all of it, but I've ordered a lot for veejays.

290
00:13:11,930 --> 00:13:15,190
I've ordered you to thumbnails before I ordered YouTube Channel Arts.

291
00:13:15,230 --> 00:13:18,280
You can pretty much order a lot on on fiber.

292
00:13:18,350 --> 00:13:21,200
It's a great marketplace where people literally specialize in this stuff.

293
00:13:21,230 --> 00:13:22,880
Now make sure that people are rated good.

294
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,090
You don't wanna to go to like somebody that has bad ratings and it's just starting out.

295
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,590
But you go to somebody that you know is rated well, they're gonna be able to do your channel art for

296
00:13:30,590 --> 00:13:33,170
like five to 10 to maybe 15 bucks max.

297
00:13:33,470 --> 00:13:36,260
And they obviously literally specialize in doing that.

298
00:13:36,260 --> 00:13:37,470
So don't sleep on fiver.

299
00:13:37,550 --> 00:13:40,730
It's a great place to kind of outsource things like this if you're not good at it.

300
00:13:41,180 --> 00:13:42,620
But I've kind of just wanted to touch on that.

301
00:13:42,680 --> 00:13:44,300
So they're going to add our channel art.

302
00:13:44,330 --> 00:13:45,710
And obviously I don't have this.

303
00:13:45,740 --> 00:13:47,900
I just gave you many different ways that you can do that.

304
00:13:48,290 --> 00:13:49,520
You can create it on Cannava.

305
00:13:49,550 --> 00:13:51,290
And if you don't know how to do that, that's fine.

306
00:13:51,650 --> 00:13:56,150
When you actually go to the thumbnail section where I teach you how to use Cannava, how do I how to

307
00:13:56,150 --> 00:14:00,380
use Lightroom, how to use Photoshop, you'll see candidate in action and you'll be able to create your

308
00:14:00,380 --> 00:14:00,770
own one.

309
00:14:00,900 --> 00:14:05,330
You know, Vía that you can honestly leave this blank or you can literally just download a random picture

310
00:14:05,330 --> 00:14:07,580
and put it in there that matches kind of the description.

311
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,190
I do that all the time when I'm just starting new channels.

312
00:14:10,490 --> 00:14:13,060
Or you can hire one on five or like I said, it's super cheap.

313
00:14:13,190 --> 00:14:17,390
You know, there's many options out there, but that's basically how you set your channel up.

314
00:14:17,660 --> 00:14:20,420
Now you have a new channel that's set up and ready to go.

315
00:14:20,630 --> 00:14:24,020
And you can upload your first video like this.
