WEBVTT 00:00.180 --> 00:04.080 Right now this is what our channel looks like is kind of plain right. 00:04.080 --> 00:10.590 But also we don't have all the options that a channel like for example video school online has which 00:10.590 --> 00:15.410 includes a channel trailer we can include links to other channels within our network or really just 00:15.420 --> 00:17.100 any other channel that we like. 00:17.100 --> 00:25.200 We can organize the home page of our channel with playlists reorganizing them the way that they are 00:25.200 --> 00:28.860 laid out and we can even include links here at the top of the channel. 00:28.980 --> 00:34.120 So to set that up where you needed to choose is this little gear icon. 00:34.170 --> 00:40.080 This brings up your channel settings so you can churn on and off things like the privacy settings for 00:40.470 --> 00:46.620 videos that you like if you want to keep private or not subscriptions playlists also customize your 00:46.620 --> 00:51.820 layout of your channel So click that to turn on and then click save. 00:51.850 --> 00:55.780 This gives you more advanced settings for what your channel looks like. 00:55.810 --> 01:01.290 Now you can see that we have these different tabs for the home screen of our channel videos playlists 01:01.300 --> 01:06.760 channels about which is where our description is over on the right hand side we have the featured channels 01:06.760 --> 01:08.010 that we like. 01:08.110 --> 01:15.030 We can also turn on and off the popular channels on YouTube that are related to our channel on the About 01:15.030 --> 01:15.570 section. 01:15.570 --> 01:22.320 Now we can add things like our business e-mail address which is great for people to be able to find 01:22.320 --> 01:28.170 if you are running a business and you want to give the people an opportunity to contact you and I encourage 01:28.170 --> 01:32.420 that you do this because you never know why people might reach out to you. 01:32.460 --> 01:40.230 Maybe I'll get a few spam messages here in there but I've got people who have asked me about my classes 01:40.230 --> 01:41.800 about my products and services. 01:41.820 --> 01:48.300 I've also been able to reach out to other YouTube buyers to be a part of my podcast for example using 01:48.300 --> 01:51.560 this email address or to partner on a project. 01:51.570 --> 01:57.490 So this is an easy way for other businesses to connect with you to perhaps work on a project together. 01:57.540 --> 02:01.440 So I would include including your business information here. 02:01.530 --> 02:02.930 Also you can put your links. 02:02.940 --> 02:04.990 You can have up to five links. 02:05.310 --> 02:08.360 Just click the Add button and then you can add a title. 02:08.370 --> 02:10.210 For example if I put my web site. 02:10.250 --> 02:15.400 And then I put the Web site yourself for my home page for example and I click done. 02:15.450 --> 02:19.030 What happens is you see here Web site pops up. 02:19.230 --> 02:26.810 So you'll want to make sure that you put what this website is Phills say for example that might look 02:26.810 --> 02:27.610 better. 02:27.650 --> 02:32.630 It also shows the icon or the fabric con for your web site up here too. 02:32.630 --> 02:35.500 So if you don't have that Fabrikant set up please do so. 02:35.500 --> 02:39.260 I showed you how to do this in the Wordpress section for different Web site builders. 02:39.260 --> 02:45.160 It's going to be different but that's the little icon that appears at the top of any web browser. 02:45.560 --> 02:47.960 So if you added one site that's what it looks like. 02:48.110 --> 02:57.670 But say we add two sites so say I add videos go online for example and click done now videos online 02:57.680 --> 02:59.990 will just appear as an icon. 02:59.990 --> 03:05.250 So the reason why I bring this up is to make sure that your first link is the link that's most important. 03:05.570 --> 03:13.070 So for example on video school online my first link is my offer for new subscribers to video online 03:13.280 --> 03:17.920 to get $1 for an entire month of my membership plan. 03:17.930 --> 03:23.300 So if you have a lead magnet or a landing page that you want to direct people to make that your first 03:23.300 --> 03:23.790 link. 03:23.870 --> 03:25.090 So that's how you add links. 03:25.100 --> 03:27.900 And I would definitely do that first thing. 03:28.740 --> 03:35.550 If you have other channels just click the Add channel button you can add a channel of your own or you 03:35.550 --> 03:40.920 can add a channel that is Neiers and now video squalene line appears right there. 03:40.920 --> 03:44.350 So if you have another channel I would recommend adding that there. 03:44.610 --> 03:51.250 You can preview your channel as yourself or as someone who is a new visitor to use your channel. 03:51.360 --> 03:56.880 And this is going to look different for example for video school online if you're a new viewer you'll 03:56.880 --> 04:02.280 see this channel trailer which is a welcome to video school online which is something I highly recommend 04:02.280 --> 04:02.700 doing. 04:02.730 --> 04:08.140 And that's going to be one of our next videos and Tass but returning subscribers don't see this. 04:08.160 --> 04:12.560 They go straight to the latest upload which is good because you don't want someone who's returned a 04:12.570 --> 04:18.000 returning subscriber to just be bombarded with the same message every time. 04:18.000 --> 04:20.600 So that's how you customize your channel layout. 04:20.910 --> 04:25.080 Really the first thing that I think you should do is create that channel trailer so that's what we're 04:25.080 --> 04:26.750 going to be covering in the next video.
