How To Manage Multiple YouTube Channels and Google+ Pages

Once you start adding a few Google+ Pages and YouTube channels to your Google account, it's easy for it to start feeling a bit overwhelming and confusing. Why does every channel create it's own Google+ Page? And why are the channel URLs just a long string of random letters and numbers?

Today I walk you guys through how I manage multiple YouTube channels that are connected to my Google account as well as how to set a custom URL for your channel.

1. No music nor sound effects.

If you're like me and manage a lot of different YouTube channels, it can be difficult to keep it all straight, especially when each channel creates its own Google+ Page. Here's how to manage multiple YouTube channels without a headache.

[Thugesh]

plz reply to this-
if we have multiple youtube channels which are connected is the adsense account same or we have to make a different adsense account for every channel?

[rosanesunshine]

Do you need to open a new email account? Or use the same email account? Or if both options are available which one is better? Thank you

[BiteSizeVegan]

hey Tim, Video Creators.  Do you think it's necessary to have multiple channels?  my channel has some video style variety to it and i'm not sure if i should start a second channel for the more informal videos…problem is i have all my videos mixed into my current channel.  i'm not sure if i should make a second one or not?  thanks for all your insights as always!

[JoeMightyWarren]

Yet another YouTube page I didn't know existed (in reference to the All My Channels page). I never noticed that link before. Thanks Tim!

It’s wonderful to know that I can manage in the same browser as I was thinking creating another user on my computer to use chrome for second channel. My second channel will be in English so it’s a switch of language in chrome as well but with your info i think I’ll be able to switch quite quickly :)

Great video cleared up alot of questions. Looking to automate... Wondering if you know of a social media/ youtube tool that allows you to upload videos to multiple youtube channels. EXAMPLE" you have 3 youtube channels and you have 10 unique videos for each channel. Or is it best just to use youtube scheduler to batch & schedule uploads?

[MCRoadkll]

Tim what is your opinion now on doing Multiple channels? Should one keep his content seperated or just keep them together in one channel and/or when is it the time to do so?

I did see your old video in Reelseo, but that's about three years old, maybe your opinion or thoughts have changed.

Thank you!

If I have two separate language channels, should all of my support social networks, (twitter, facebook, etc) also have two separate accounts in different languages?

[FreeJimmy]

Hey Tim! Thanks for the video. I'm curious, is there any reason why I may wanna keep channels on separate accounts?
For example:
I know you can build 2 or 3 channels and then refer people back and forth to help build each. If viewers from one of your channels went to the other do you think yt would give less weight to those new visitors since they came from another connected channel?
Or
if you had some issue w/ one channel would it affect another if on same account? etc

[beisaslegacyexteriorsremod]

Tim, is it good or bad to have multiple Google+ pages for the same business?

[MichaelWarbux]

**now to find out what those blurred accounts are** :) Great video Tim! This should really help clear things up for people!

[techcanyon]

i like your tutorial i received a copyright strike in my first channel and i want to open the second channel now, would the first copyright strike I had won't affect my second new channel?

[aspectm]

Hello i have a question. I have 2 youtube accounts under 1 gmail account if i start uploading a video from my 1 channel then switch right away to my 2 one and start uploading there too. Where would the both videos published ? on my second account or separetly to my 2 accounts.

[forthenightband]

Hi Tim, love your work! How would I move video content from one channel to another?

[loslosbaby]

Ok, so this is the way you _Manage_ your multiple channels, but, in the post-google-plus-is-mandatory world we are in now, how, after having one channel, would you go and create some more and have them associated with your "main" etc? Thanks in advance.

[caratcrochetCoUk]

Thanks for explaining that Tim!  Certainly made things clearer for me.

[VeganIncline]

Are the new channels you create connected with your original channel and google plus? or are they completely separate. lets say for example you wanted to make a new channel that was a bit controversial or explicit, But dont want people to find out it was you or your channel is there a way to have that come back to bite you?

[NorthAmericaTENClosedCaptions]

Youtube needs to offer special tools for people with multiple channels. It is especially hard if there are multiple people involved in the creation process--one uploads, one adds subtitles, another adds metadata, etc. Very difficult to keep up with the status of unreleased videos across multiple channels.

[TheGamersState]

Hi Tim, long time no see.
Just 1 question and you can answer it here if you want, don't worry about responding it in video form and that is, am I able to put All My YouTube channels under 1 Google+ Account?
Right now I have 2 Google+ Accounts, one is under my Yahoo E-Mail and the other is under my Hotmail E-Mail, I want to move the Yahoo 1 over to my Hotmail 1, can that be done?
