To start a YouTube channel in 2025, the process involves a few simple but important steps:
- Create or Sign in with a Google Account:

- Create Your YouTube Channel:
- Sign in to YouTube.
- Click your profile picture in the top right corner.
- Select "Create a channel."
- Choose between a personal channel or creating a brand account (which allows multiple managers).
- Customize your channel by setting a channel name, profile picture, and unique handle.
- Customize and Optimize Your Channel:
- Write a channel description and add links to your social media or websites.
- Add contact email and watermark for videos.

- Verify your channel to unlock more features.
- Upload Your First Videos:
- Plan content that fits your niche or interests.
