You will be presented with two options to create an account: “For myself” or “To manage my business.” We suggest you select the second option, but we will also guide you through creating a brand channel from either option.

Either way, the procedure is similar. Once you've completed the information canadian cto cio email database submission process, which simply involves filling out your details and clicking "Next," you can continue with the steps below. We'll first break down the steps to follow when you choose to create an account for yourself.

Once you verify your Brand Account, you'll be taken to your new channel's dashboard.

Options for a YouTube brand channel


If you remember the previous procedure, you are probably wondering: what type of channel is best for me and why don't I have these options from a personal account? We will answer you as briefly as possible: it is advisable that you choose the branded channel (or one with a custom name) because as a personal channel you will have limitations.

The reason you can't select the channel type when doing so from a personal account is that personal accounts often already have a channel created by default . That personal channel is linked to the account, so in order to create a new channel, you need to create a brand account that will be linked to the channel you're about to create.

Select the Brand Account option and check that the following screen appears, right after clicking on the “Use a custom name” option.


Assign a branded channel name on YouTube


Once you type in the name for your new channel, select the “I understand that this is creating a new Google account” box, and click the “Create” button, the following page will appear:

While you can expand the information for your channel from here, we suggest choosing “Configure later” for more detailed customization (which we will explain below).
