It's not difficult to create a YouTube account, if you have ever created an account on one of Google's products (such as Gmail) then we can use that account to create an account on YouTube. The first step is to log in to your Google account (for example Gmail), then open the YouTube.com site. Later you will see the appearance of the YouTube site as shown below,
The next step is to create a Channel for your YouTube account. Click the "My Channel" link on the left. A selection will appear later, whether we will use the real name (name when registering email) or using another name as the name of the Channel on Youtube.
If you want to create a unique channel, you should use another name as the YouTube Channel name, for example your website domain name or special name. Click the "To use a business or other name, click here" link, then it will be directed to a new page.
On the new page, enter the Channel name that matches what you want. Then choose the appropriate category, don't forget to check the "I agree to the Pages Terms" section, then click "Done". View image,
After the steps above, we will be directed to our Channel page on YouTube. Then we can adjust the channel's appearance, from adding images to icons, adding covers, and other settings. Until here we have successfully created a YouTube account and made a special Channel.
2. Start Uploading Videos to YouTube
In order to make money from YouTube, we must have original video content uploaded to our Channel on YouTube. This video content must be your own or video whose material does not infringe on the copyrights of others, from the video material (video clip, image, logo) to back-sound.Actually it's not too difficult to get the idea of video content, we can make unique videos by recording unique daily activities. For example fishing activities, video tutorials, recording while playing guitar, and others.
Be diligent in creating and uploading unique videos to your Channel, at least you need to upload about 100 - 200 unique and interesting videos to YouTube to get a fairly large income. The more videos uploaded to your channel, the greater the chance of earning revenue from YouTube.
Important note: never upload video material that infringes the copyrights of others into your YouToube Channel because it can cause your account to have a problem later on.
3. Increase the Popularity of Your YouTube Channel
There are many ways you can do to increase the popularity of the YouTube Channel. Among others are:- Diligently upload useful, unique and interesting videos. Also pay attention to the quality of the video you make, the video should have a good resolution and clear appearance.
- Focus on uploading content that suits your niche or interests. If you have expertise in playing guitar, then focus on building videos related to guitar. For example, you can make guitar covers for famous singer songs or famous guitar players. That way your channel will be easily recognized by YouTube users.
- Invite your audience to become your YouTube Channel subscriber. The more subscribers you have, the greater the chances of getting more views on your videos.
- Promote your YouTube video or channel to other social media, for example to Facebook.
4. Register with Google Adsense
Although there are several ways you can do to get benefits from YouTube. But most people prefer to use the Google Adsense program to monetize their video content. Usually Channels that have videos with many views will get an invitation directly from Google Adsense. But if we haven't got the invitation, we can register with Google Adsense.If you previously have a Google Adsense account, then you don't need to register again. What needs to be done is simply connect the Google Adsense account to your YouTube account, of course the email used must be the same. After the Adsense account is connected to a YouTube account, then you just have to wait for the incoming earnings from your videos.
The key to success in playing YouTube is creativity. The more creative and interesting videos on your channel, the greater the chances of earning revenue from YouTube. There is no income limit that you can get, because what determines is the uniqueness, the quality of the video material, and the number of video views that we upload to YouTube.
The above is a few steps to get money from YouTube that you can do right now. Keep in mind that all businesses need time to produce, as do the YouTubers. If you consistently build interesting content on YouTube, it will definitely come time for you to enjoy unlimited income.
Good luck!
