You cannot just decide to open a YouTube Channel without knowing its purpose except you are not ready to make money from it. You have to know the purpose of your YouTube Channel and build a niche around it.

2. HOW TO OPEN A YOUTUBE CHANNEL:

YouTube accounts have only one channel attached to it. Firstly, create a gmail account and then, go to YouTube Channel Creator Page and open a channel.

After you have successfully opened a YouTube channel: add your channel description, channel logo and cover image, name (please make it short to fit your YouTube purpose) and add keywords to it. Those keywords should be related to your video contents.
