Creating a YouTube channel?

[Optic]

Just wondering if you've ever made a YouTube channel?

 

I've been considering making a dedicated channel to go with Anime Forums featuring short anime segments, which may help in bringing some extra activity in here.

 

Would greatly appreciate any thoughts if you're familiar with YouTube and/or creating a channel.

Here is the first video for the Anime Forums YouTube channel.

Not at all @drill.

 

Thinking of ideas for another video.

Subbed just for the sake of supporting, I created a channel before, but all it has is one awkward let's play series and some Mario Kart 8 highlights... I doubt I could be of any help. I do have a Touhou Walfas animation Drill wants me to upload, but I'm too lazy.

 

That being said, I had seen some famous youtubers like AVGN in person and know of tips on starting a channel. Whenever you upload a new video make sure you add as many tags you can think of. Every tag you add, the more likely it's going to come up in a search engine meaning more people will see your channel. Another thing to do is having an attractive thumbnail that is related to the video you are uploading. A youtuber name Rerez did a video about the first game console ever, the Brown Box. The Brown Box... is an ugly looking console mind you, all he did was created a thumbnail with explosions and stuff and on top of it was 'THE FIRST GAME CONSOLE EVER!', it ended up getting more views than other videos about the Brown Box.
