How to make a Youtube channel - the text that i promised to share



Hi there to all the fans of 2oldmenandablonde,

I have promised to make a post where i post the text from the tutorial about how to make a Youtube channel. Here it is, but i would strongly recommend you to watch the video!!

THE TEXT FROM THE TUTORIAL; HOW TO MAKE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL ACCOUNT

 There are 3 ways to create a youtube account:
-sign in with an existing gmail or google account
-sign in through the youtube website
-creating a google account

With the second one you need to create a Gmail account. If you don't want that, then it's better to just create a google account. The link for that, you can find in the description box below.

In the next few minutes I will take you through the steps of how to create these accounts. But first I wanna welcome the fans from 2oldmenandablonde. If you came here through the youtube search engine then I hope this tutorial is gonna be helpful for you. And I would be delighted if you would check out our short entertaining and funny videos. Which I make together with 2 friends of mine Kevin and Bjorn.

Before whe start with the tutorial:
REMEMBER, you can always pause the player if it goes to quickly.

So let's start with option nr. 1 when you have an existing gmail or google account:
-Click on the sign in button
-type in your existing gmail address
-or the email address which you use for your google account
-then click the sign in button

You now have a youtube account which allows you to like videos and subscribe to channels. However when you want to comment on the videos then you also need to have a Channel. And we from 2oldmenandablonde would be really happy if our fans would start commenting on our videos, cause the more comments a video has got, the higher it will get in the youtube search engine. And that makes us being found easier again by new audience. Which will hopefully lead to more views and subscribers.

I will show you how to create a channel in the next step.

Option nr. 2 signing in through the youtube website
-click on the sign in button
-then on the create an account button
-you now need to make a gmail account
-type in your name and choose a google username
-and fill in the rest of the form
-type in these words to prove you are not a robot
-uncheck this box if you don't want to link your google+ and make sure to check the terms of service box
-now click on next step

A new window comes up
-you now have to verify your account
-i recommend you to do it by sms
-select your countrys flag
-and type in your mobile phone-number
-then click continue

Another window comes up
-Wait for your sms

-type in the code and click continue

A new window comes up which creates your google+ account
