In this tutorial I show you how to start a YouTube Gaming Channel to be a fully fledged YouTuber. YouTube Gaming is a feature that will be releasing on YouTube very soon and with it just around the corner I want to explain the basics of setting up a YouTube Channel, uploading your first video and explain how you can make money by Monetizing the videos. You set up your channel taking the following steps: 1) 00:05 Register a YouTube account - you can rename the title shown on the page via Google+ but you can not change the link name. For example even though the new channel I setup is http://www.youtube.com/user/ZranX, I am able to rename the title to ZranX Gaming. 2) 02:20 Go to the About section of your YouTube channel and put a Channel Description explaining what type of videos you will be uploading. 3) 03:35 Add a business email address. I recommend using a non personal email address to avoid notifications of new subscribers and random notifications. 4) 04:18 Set which country you are in. 5) 04:45 Add featured channels of YouTubers you would like, preferably related to the same content you are also producing. 6) 06:00 Enable Browse mode to show a useful layout for your videos for all visitors of your page. 7) 06:40 Add a Channel Art ideally sized 2560x1440 and a Channel Avatar which is Square Perspective, more high resolution the better but remember the size of it on the page. 8) 08:10 Use recording software such as Open Broadcaster Software to record your video. It works extremely well and is 100% free and open source. It also encodes videos into mp4 format which doesn't take much space. I show all the configurations I use. You can download OBS here: https://obsproject.com/. 9) 17:15 Use free video encoders such as Freemake http://www.freemake.com or Handbrake https://handbrake.fr/. I prefer the paid version of Freemake as its only $9.99, it allows you to merge videos together, cut bits out of each section, encode using CUDA and DVXA and also takes advantage of multi-core CPU's to speed up conversion. In my case as I have a i7-5930k CPU and a Geforce GTX 970 GPU I can convert videos very fast. Enable CUDA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5UaOIqqFX0. 10) 23:00 Write detailed descriptions, put a lot of relevant tags on the video. 11) 26:20 Add videos to playlists so they are easier to keep organised together, which is useful for the future. 12) 27:40 You can set a video to Private and save your changes before you publish if you need to come back to it later. 13) 28:00 Set Upload Defaults so you can publish future videos even faster. 14) 31:00 Set channel keywords so it is easier for viewers to find your YouTube channel. 15) 32:00 Enable Monetization so you can earn money from your videos by partnering with YouTube. When you grow in size you can partner with game specific networks like Curse who can provide you more game specific tools: http://www.unionforgamers.com/apply?referral=1tfq6oy5rzv6h5 16) 34:00 Enable Longer videos by verifying your phone number which allows you upload videos longer than 15 minutes. The current maximum on YouTube is 12 hours videos at 8K resolution. Good luck exceeding that. 17) 34:30 Link an Adsense account to your channel so you can collect money that is generated by your videos that have Monetization enabled. 18) 40:15 Put a Custom Thumbnail on top of videos to make it more likely for people to click them. 19) 41:20 Connect YouTube to your Twitter so you can automatically Tweet when you upload a video. 20) 42:00 You can add Cards to your videos to direct viewers to useful links.
