This video is for those who may be getting confused between youtube accounts, youtube channels and google accounts, and walks you through the exact steps you need to setup a new youtube channel. How many channels do you have in your account? Also let me know if you have any questions or want any part of this video explained better. I'll make other videos to help clarify :-)

Rob YOU ARE AWESOME!!!! Thank you for this step by step. Its been over a decade since I've uploaded content on yt & things have definitely changed since then. Your video was very helpful, informative, & thorough for me to get started with my new channel. Thank you again fellow Gen X buddy!❤

Hi, Rob! Discovering your channel (and Peanut! ☺️) a couple of weeks ago has been like finding gold! 🙏🏻 I’ve been gobbling up your videos and so THANKFUL for all you are sharing here, and especially with an over 40s/50s focus (51 here 🙋🏻‍♀️). All of this is so timely, as I’m just about time release my first YT video (equally parts yikes and excitement!)… and I still had some of those Settings to fill in! 😆 Happy Day to you and Peanut!

Great video. Peanut is like “I’ll let you exploit me cause how can you not?!” 😂

I love that I watched this whole video like I don't already have a YT channel set up. 😂 Another great tutorial!

Great information, thank you for posting this! My neighbour and I are both wanting to start new channels and had no clue how!
You had me at Maritimer! lol Greetings from my hometown of Montreal, but moving back to New Brunswick hopefully soon!

This was such a helpful video, thank you! We’ll all be anxiously awaiting a “Day in the life of Peanut” video now! 😅

I’m 3+ years on YouTube and have not reached 1k subs, yet I’m still here. Keep going, guys, don’t give up! Best wishes to all the small channels out there. Let’s go!

A truly excellent tutorial video. Clear, easy to follow, easy to understand. Thanks.

[thetraveledtourist]

I'm going to sub to Peanut's channel. I'm interested in what nuggets of wisdom she has. 😄

[jodirodriguez]

Great video Rob! Thank you so much!! 😊

Pro tip: Get a cute cat (preferably from the shelter) and use as bait for cat lovers like me.

[nthatengmakhele]

As always, thank you so much for sharing :) You are gold.

[sofia_ines]

Rob, thanks man! ...plus I followed Peanut's real channel.💔 Only 5 subscribers?! She needs to do a colab with you.👍

[l.m.schmidt]

Thank You so much...this is where im stuck the most😅

Good video! May I ask why you chose personal instead of business for the type of channel? What should we use if we're starting a YouTube channel with the ultimate goal of monetization?
