Make sure you have an icon for the channel. Without it, your channel will look sketchy and unprofessional.

Create a unique photo and really invest in it.
Add that image to your channel’s logo.

Add photos to make the cover photo of your YouTube channel to create a variety of colors and uniqueness. This step will help your channel stand out from the crowd.

Tap the pencil icon at the top of the channel to add a photo.
Create a photo to show off your channel’s name, remind your audience to subscribe, or simply a unique photo that shows off your channel’s personality.
Make sure your photo is the right size.

Add a special video or an entertaining trailer. This can increase views and make your channel look more professional.

Brand your videos using InVideo Programming, adding your channel’s photo (with a link to your channel) to it. People will see it when they watch your video.
Upload a video that’s a few seconds long as a prelude to all other videos using the “Branding Intro” feature.
Make a Featured Video and it will encourage viewers to visit your videos or playlists.

Add a trailer. This is one of the most entertaining ways to talk about your channel’s content.

Go to your channel’s home page and add a trailer for those who have not and are subscribed to your channel to welcome visitors.
You can create a special video to announce channel content to people who have not subscribed to your channel.
You can add a video that you think will attract more attention.

Create a playlist containing several videos of the same genre. (For example, a video tutorial on how to play a game). If you have videos of the same genre, this step will help your channel look more organized.

Click “add a section” at the bottom of the channel.
Click “add a single playlist” (create a single playlist) and add the playlist.
Create custom titles to describe what’s in the playlist.

Try adding a description of the channel. This is useful if you really want to inform your viewers about this channel, or just want to create a funny message.

Go to the “about” page and click on the channel description.
Whether you’re going to describe your channel or write about something unique, consult the descriptions of several guest channels for inspiration.

Feel free to add a few other channels that you know or include in your videos, if you’d like. Do you have friends on YouTube or have you partnered with some other channel? This step will help your channel look more popular.

When adding those channels, choose a unique name for your list. (People You Should Know, Cop Peeps, Amigos).
