OK now let's go to how to name your channel.
Before that we actually didn't talk about the naming channel we talked about the creation of the channel.
We talked a little bit about the about section about topics and types but I wouldn't talk about the
naming of your channel which is pretty important thing.
And people are just ignoring this at first.
In the beginning of their channels and then they're just regretting the naming of the channel that they
do so then it is not very hard to name your channel and it is a one time job basically that you need
to do in the very beginning of the channel.
You can't actually do it a bit later if even if you have 100 subscribers and you change the name of
the channel you'll not lose a lot.
But yeah it's better to not change the name of the channels later.
It's better to have that good name or the appropriate name at the very very beginning so there are a
few rules that you need to follow.
So here are some of them no nos in your name.
Try to not use any numbers in your name.
I know there are quite a lot of YouTube's who are using the numbers in their names and they're still
popular but mind that many of them have numbers that are in their names that have some function or some
meaning or they created these channels.
Way way way way way before the YouTube was even mainstream and they just got popular in the very early
days when there were not a lot of YouTube channels at the first place.
So the number one rule is to not use any numbers in the channel.
So it's why it's important because people tend to not remember numbers were very well especially the
longer numbers.
So it is not very useful to have a numbers in your name.
You can have a number as a ladder like fives or something like that.
You can have it but we should be as short as possible.
You can have like Nixon Nixon 3 5 5.
No one will remember Nixon 3 5 5 everybody will remember just Nixon.
Nobody cares about 3 5 5.
So you need to try to not use No not to try.
Don't use any numbers in your name.
The next is to not use any special characters no dashes no exclamation marks no question marks no dots
no commas no nothing.
This is again this is it.
Special characters are not used in the speech.
We're not using the speech we are using it in writing.
And you need to remember that people will call your names.
Name of the channel verbally they want they have it in their heads.
They don't have a name of your channel written in their head.
They're saying this name in their head and you are saying this name over and over in the channel on
the channel as well.
So having a special characters is making it a bit harder to remember and you want your name to be as
easy to remember.
Third rule is to not use any stoolie or swear words even though if you if you are a teenager or if you're
a young adult and you think that using the silliest swear words will have you grow your channel and
it will actually grow your channel.
But in the future it may backfire on you because it will be very very difficult to land a brand deals
or have some other monetization purposes with the silly and swear words don't use the silly and swear
words because it will it will just hurt your business if you want to transfer me to me into the business
in the future.
So just avoid it as much as you can.
Don't use any silly or swear words in your channel name.
So next year all signs are that real names real full names are fine to use as long as they're more or
less easy to remember.
For example if you have a very difficult first and last name try to come with a shorter version of your
first name and have a your last name in full.
It's no problem again.
Just try to tell your last name look over and over again on the on your channel.
People will just remember it.
How is how to spell that right.
Because many of us who are who does not have the western names or the last names it will be a bit difficult
for the westerners to just to use these names and last names.
So just It's fine to use it but always give your viewers the information about how to spell it right
and how to tell it right.
And otherwise it's very very fine.
Plus it's it's easier for you to remember that it's most important than when you use it comfortably.
If only you use your name comfortably then your viewers will use it comfortable as well and that's what
you want.
Made up names consider names are fine as well.
For example for my for my intent tensor purposes Nick Nixon is not my name.
It's my son the name it is made up name my name and surname is actually completely different.
Now my name is like my it's Nick but it's spelled differently.
And my last name is a little different but I use this name and like a last name like pseudonym in the
brain a quotes last name because it felt right for me because I always called this name for a really
long time and I'm comfortable with this name.
And I used it and it's easy to remember and easy to say it is to tell Nick Nixon is very easy to tell.
It's spelled differently than how people usually write.
Nixon but it's not difficult as well.
You can do the same things.
And plus it it may transform the future into your brand name your name and last name may not transform
into your brand name but you're soon in a may transform into your last name means your brand name.
So you want to use that and last but not least in here is in the rules are one or two worlds are fine
so don't use more than two words in your name.
For example Nick Nixon is two words or you can use it to just regular words.
Oh let's say if you remember the cynical British channel or Total Biscuit channel or he was.
He is.
Unfortunately he passed away already.
He was an amazing gaming critic.
He was name His name was Total Biscuit.
Like two regular words but it's kind of silly name but it's not it's not that silly name.
And he was a really really big game go you or you can just go and use these two words for yourself.
But on a two regular word it will be a bit difficult to transform it into the brand name but it's not
that it's not that difficult so you can use the two regular names a little regular words as your name
is.
It's very simple to do and just you can use it without any problem.
And remember that your name is your parent.
It is your brand.
You can eat can transform into the huge thing very soon or not soon enough but still it can transform
into very huge name.
You don't want to be embarrassed to use it and you have to be concentrating on two things while you
you're naming your channel.
You should concentrated on longevity and simplicity longevity I mean that your name should be usable
both at zero subscribers and a million subscribers.
You should not be embarrassed to use it at any amount of subscribers.
You are on.
You may go to two billion subscribers.
I don't know you would transform into something really really big and you don't want to be embarrassed
to use it.
So just concentrate on that.
And another thing is simplicity and a name should be easy to remember.
It should be easy to remember because hard to remember names.
People are just tend to not remember it and just forget about it and just move on because the competition
is so big.
That's hard to remember names are having a really hard time to be remembered.
So you don't make this mistake make up your channel name that is easy and will be usable for really
really really long time.
All this will be it for this lecture.
Let's let's go to the next one.
