Just a suggestion for your YouTube channel:
I changed my YouTube brand channel name to a name that better describes what my channel is all about and the traffic increased tremendously overnight. I picked up several subscribers. They must have seen my channel name are were interested. So I suggest you don't use your name alone in a YouTube brand channel name.
If you move your regular channel to a brand account through a G+ Page you can keep all your subscribers and videos from your regular channel. I'm not sure how we will be able to do this after April.
Peggy K did I get this right?
What have you changed your branding to?
ReplyDeleteRos Boundy I'm doing some video remixes of other copyright holder's content with their permission. I can't monetize copyrighted material however. I used the words "Video Remixes" in my YouTube brand channel name. YouTube Music contains a lot of remixes from YouTubers, some bad and some good.
ReplyDeleteCraig Long I thinking of doing the same thing for my 'Channel Art' I have already changed my introduction video (Train) to see what happens Nice tip...
ReplyDeleteCraig Long that makes sense - of your channel isn't about you, then a descriptive name can help people decide to subscribe.
ReplyDeleteYes, if you move your channel to a Brand Account, all your subscribers and videos move with it. You do lose:
> any custom URL you have set (but not an old /user/ URL)
> the comments you have made

Peggy K Thank you Peggy. I'm so glad to have you around.
ReplyDeleteCraig Long I did that once already after that you're stuck with it. That was years ago Don't know about now.
ReplyDeleteArthur Morehead I changed my name twice in the last two days. Not sure what you are stuck with?
ReplyDeleteCraig Long Arthur Morehead name changes are limited, but once you've made your last name change "for a while" you should be able to change the name again after 90 days.
