Next you're going to add a channel description and you can see where I did a quick little update of
my channel art.
I thought this image was a little bit less distracting in the background.
To add to your channel description you should see a big at it but and right here for your description
or if you've already added one you can just click on any of these little pencil icons to edit here I've
already added mine so I can quickly show you some tips on it description.
This is just a brief introduction of you and your channel to the audience.
So some things to keep in mind are to include the main keywords for your channel right here in the channel
description.
So the channel title is good but also what your channel is going to be about including some other keywords
that are related.
So not just personal finance for example for my channel but I've included things like early retirement
investing budgeting side houses minimalism things that are related to personal finance that will help
people find our channel.
And if people are interested in these other things as well they might be more likely to subscribe.
That's basically the goal with all of these tools that we have.
Our channel art our description even the videos we create We're trying to get people to subscribe because
with more subscribers we're more likely to get more views on our new videos which will help them rank
higher even faster.
Also in your description showed the benefit of what people are getting from your channel.
You can see here that I say Subscribe now to get our weekly videos in your inbox and to learn how to
make more save more and worry less about money.
That's the ultimate goal with this channel that I'm creating.
And if people like that benefit there'll be more likely to subscribe.
So make sure you don't just talk about what your channel is about.
But what benefit people are getting from your channel when you're done editing click done.
You can have up to I think 1000 character in your description and it doesn't only appear here on your
description page sometimes it appears when people search for channels.
For example if I search for personal finance and you can search for specifically channels underneath
the filters the radical personal finance channel doesn't even have a description but some of these you
see the description starts right here.
And that will help people decide whether to click on the channel or not so you want to make sure you
have a good description especially at the beginning the first line is most important.
That's why I like asking a question including that word you in the beginning of my channel description
because that calls out to the user that's the channel description go out and add yours if you haven't
done so yet Nimal me back here and continue editing our channel.
