Right now this is what our channel looks like is kind of plain right.
But also we don't have all the options that a channel like for example video school online has which
includes a channel trailer we can include links to other channels within our network or really just
any other channel that we like.
We can organize the home page of our channel with playlists reorganizing them the way that they are
laid out and we can even include links here at the top of the channel.
So to set that up where you needed to choose is this little gear icon.
This brings up your channel settings so you can churn on and off things like the privacy settings for
videos that you like if you want to keep private or not subscriptions playlists also customize your
layout of your channel So click that to turn on and then click save.
This gives you more advanced settings for what your channel looks like.
Now you can see that we have these different tabs for the home screen of our channel videos playlists
channels about which is where our description is over on the right hand side we have the featured channels
that we like.
We can also turn on and off the popular channels on YouTube that are related to our channel on the About
section.
Now we can add things like our business e-mail address which is great for people to be able to find
if you are running a business and you want to give the people an opportunity to contact you and I encourage
that you do this because you never know why people might reach out to you.
Maybe I'll get a few spam messages here in there but I've got people who have asked me about my classes
about my products and services.
I've also been able to reach out to other YouTube buyers to be a part of my podcast for example using
this email address or to partner on a project.
So this is an easy way for other businesses to connect with you to perhaps work on a project together.
So I would include including your business information here.
Also you can put your links.
You can have up to five links.
Just click the Add button and then you can add a title.
For example if I put my web site.
And then I put the Web site yourself for my home page for example and I click done.
What happens is you see here Web site pops up.
So you'll want to make sure that you put what this website is Phills say for example that might look
better.
It also shows the icon or the fabric con for your web site up here too.
So if you don't have that Fabrikant set up please do so.
I showed you how to do this in the Wordpress section for different Web site builders.
It's going to be different but that's the little icon that appears at the top of any web browser.
So if you added one site that's what it looks like.
But say we add two sites so say I add videos go online for example and click done now videos online
will just appear as an icon.
So the reason why I bring this up is to make sure that your first link is the link that's most important.
So for example on video school online my first link is my offer for new subscribers to video online
to get $1 for an entire month of my membership plan.
So if you have a lead magnet or a landing page that you want to direct people to make that your first
link.
So that's how you add links.
And I would definitely do that first thing.
If you have other channels just click the Add channel button you can add a channel of your own or you
can add a channel that is Neiers and now video squalene line appears right there.
So if you have another channel I would recommend adding that there.
You can preview your channel as yourself or as someone who is a new visitor to use your channel.
And this is going to look different for example for video school online if you're a new viewer you'll
see this channel trailer which is a welcome to video school online which is something I highly recommend
doing.
And that's going to be one of our next videos and Tass but returning subscribers don't see this.
They go straight to the latest upload which is good because you don't want someone who's returned a
returning subscriber to just be bombarded with the same message every time.
So that's how you customize your channel layout.
Really the first thing that I think you should do is create that channel trailer so that's what we're
going to be covering in the next video.
