1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:02,840
OK now let's go to how to name your channel.

2
00:00:02,850 --> 00:00:07,140
Before that we actually didn't talk about the naming channel we talked about the creation of the channel.

3
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:12,000
We talked a little bit about the about section about topics and types but I wouldn't talk about the

4
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,460
naming of your channel which is pretty important thing.

5
00:00:15,570 --> 00:00:18,510
And people are just ignoring this at first.

6
00:00:18,510 --> 00:00:23,940
In the beginning of their channels and then they're just regretting the naming of the channel that they

7
00:00:23,940 --> 00:00:30,690
do so then it is not very hard to name your channel and it is a one time job basically that you need

8
00:00:30,690 --> 00:00:32,190
to do in the very beginning of the channel.

9
00:00:32,190 --> 00:00:37,800
You can't actually do it a bit later if even if you have 100 subscribers and you change the name of

10
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,560
the channel you'll not lose a lot.

11
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,100
But yeah it's better to not change the name of the channels later.

12
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:49,650
It's better to have that good name or the appropriate name at the very very beginning so there are a

13
00:00:49,650 --> 00:00:51,240
few rules that you need to follow.

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:56,400
So here are some of them no nos in your name.

15
00:00:56,610 --> 00:00:59,070
Try to not use any numbers in your name.

16
00:00:59,070 --> 00:01:04,020
I know there are quite a lot of YouTube's who are using the numbers in their names and they're still

17
00:01:04,020 --> 00:01:12,960
popular but mind that many of them have numbers that are in their names that have some function or some

18
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:16,290
meaning or they created these channels.

19
00:01:16,290 --> 00:01:23,130
Way way way way way before the YouTube was even mainstream and they just got popular in the very early

20
00:01:23,130 --> 00:01:26,610
days when there were not a lot of YouTube channels at the first place.

21
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,720
So the number one rule is to not use any numbers in the channel.

22
00:01:32,730 --> 00:01:39,030
So it's why it's important because people tend to not remember numbers were very well especially the

23
00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:40,070
longer numbers.

24
00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:44,010
So it is not very useful to have a numbers in your name.

25
00:01:44,010 --> 00:01:48,110
You can have a number as a ladder like fives or something like that.

26
00:01:48,150 --> 00:01:50,600
You can have it but we should be as short as possible.

27
00:01:50,610 --> 00:01:54,400
You can have like Nixon Nixon 3 5 5.

28
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,690
No one will remember Nixon 3 5 5 everybody will remember just Nixon.

29
00:01:57,690 --> 00:01:59,640
Nobody cares about 3 5 5.

30
00:01:59,820 --> 00:02:03,510
So you need to try to not use No not to try.

31
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,430
Don't use any numbers in your name.

32
00:02:05,430 --> 00:02:09,480
Don't use any numbers in your name.

33
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:16,500
The next is to not use any special characters no dashes no exclamation marks no question marks no dots

34
00:02:16,530 --> 00:02:18,350
no commas no nothing.

35
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,010
This is again this is it.

36
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:24,790
Special characters are not used in the speech.

37
00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:27,390
We're not using the speech we are using it in writing.

38
00:02:27,630 --> 00:02:31,240
And you need to remember that people will call your names.

39
00:02:31,290 --> 00:02:35,730
Name of the channel verbally they want they have it in their heads.

40
00:02:35,790 --> 00:02:39,720
They don't have a name of your channel written in their head.

41
00:02:39,740 --> 00:02:45,480
They're saying this name in their head and you are saying this name over and over in the channel on

42
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,440
the channel as well.

43
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:52,350
So having a special characters is making it a bit harder to remember and you want your name to be as

44
00:02:52,350 --> 00:02:53,440
easy to remember.

45
00:02:53,520 --> 00:03:00,790
Third rule is to not use any stoolie or swear words even though if you if you are a teenager or if you're

46
00:03:00,790 --> 00:03:06,900
a young adult and you think that using the silliest swear words will have you grow your channel and

47
00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:08,730
it will actually grow your channel.

48
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:15,930
But in the future it may backfire on you because it will be very very difficult to land a brand deals

49
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:23,430
or have some other monetization purposes with the silly and swear words don't use the silly and swear

50
00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:28,890
words because it will it will just hurt your business if you want to transfer me to me into the business

51
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:29,990
in the future.

52
00:03:30,030 --> 00:03:32,580
So just avoid it as much as you can.

53
00:03:32,580 --> 00:03:37,440
Don't use any silly or swear words in your channel name.

54
00:03:37,530 --> 00:03:45,570
So next year all signs are that real names real full names are fine to use as long as they're more or

55
00:03:45,570 --> 00:03:47,830
less easy to remember.

56
00:03:47,850 --> 00:03:52,950
For example if you have a very difficult first and last name try to come with a shorter version of your

57
00:03:52,950 --> 00:03:55,910
first name and have a your last name in full.

58
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,050
It's no problem again.

59
00:03:57,060 --> 00:04:01,260
Just try to tell your last name look over and over again on the on your channel.

60
00:04:01,260 --> 00:04:02,400
People will just remember it.

61
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,910
How is how to spell that right.

62
00:04:03,930 --> 00:04:11,610
Because many of us who are who does not have the western names or the last names it will be a bit difficult

63
00:04:11,610 --> 00:04:16,710
for the westerners to just to use these names and last names.

64
00:04:16,710 --> 00:04:25,230
So just It's fine to use it but always give your viewers the information about how to spell it right

65
00:04:25,230 --> 00:04:26,910
and how to tell it right.

66
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,830
And otherwise it's very very fine.

67
00:04:28,830 --> 00:04:35,100
Plus it's it's easier for you to remember that it's most important than when you use it comfortably.

68
00:04:35,100 --> 00:04:40,230
If only you use your name comfortably then your viewers will use it comfortable as well and that's what

69
00:04:40,230 --> 00:04:41,090
you want.

70
00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:43,880
Made up names consider names are fine as well.

71
00:04:43,890 --> 00:04:49,070
For example for my for my intent tensor purposes Nick Nixon is not my name.

72
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:53,730
It's my son the name it is made up name my name and surname is actually completely different.

73
00:04:53,740 --> 00:04:58,780
Now my name is like my it's Nick but it's spelled differently.

74
00:04:58,950 --> 00:05:05,500
And my last name is a little different but I use this name and like a last name like pseudonym in the

75
00:05:05,500 --> 00:05:12,280
brain a quotes last name because it felt right for me because I always called this name for a really

76
00:05:12,280 --> 00:05:14,140
long time and I'm comfortable with this name.

77
00:05:14,140 --> 00:05:20,460
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.

78
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,350
It's spelled differently than how people usually write.

79
00:05:23,350 --> 00:05:26,650
Nixon but it's not difficult as well.

80
00:05:26,740 --> 00:05:28,600
You can do the same things.

81
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:34,330
And plus it it may transform the future into your brand name your name and last name may not transform

82
00:05:34,330 --> 00:05:39,010
into your brand name but you're soon in a may transform into your last name means your brand name.

83
00:05:39,100 --> 00:05:47,380
So you want to use that and last but not least in here is in the rules are one or two worlds are fine

84
00:05:47,410 --> 00:05:50,280
so don't use more than two words in your name.

85
00:05:50,300 --> 00:05:55,290
For example Nick Nixon is two words or you can use it to just regular words.

86
00:05:55,390 --> 00:06:03,360
Oh let's say if you remember the cynical British channel or Total Biscuit channel or he was.

87
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:03,870
He is.

88
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,340
Unfortunately he passed away already.

89
00:06:05,350 --> 00:06:07,150
He was an amazing gaming critic.

90
00:06:07,150 --> 00:06:09,210
He was name His name was Total Biscuit.

91
00:06:09,340 --> 00:06:16,810
Like two regular words but it's kind of silly name but it's not it's not that silly name.

92
00:06:16,990 --> 00:06:22,720
And he was a really really big game go you or you can just go and use these two words for yourself.

93
00:06:22,780 --> 00:06:28,180
But on a two regular word it will be a bit difficult to transform it into the brand name but it's not

94
00:06:28,270 --> 00:06:33,940
that it's not that difficult so you can use the two regular names a little regular words as your name

95
00:06:33,980 --> 00:06:34,160
is.

96
00:06:34,250 --> 00:06:37,650
It's very simple to do and just you can use it without any problem.

97
00:06:38,810 --> 00:06:42,500
And remember that your name is your parent.

98
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:43,940
It is your brand.

99
00:06:43,940 --> 00:06:50,710
You can eat can transform into the huge thing very soon or not soon enough but still it can transform

100
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:51,700
into very huge name.

101
00:06:51,830 --> 00:06:58,290
You don't want to be embarrassed to use it and you have to be concentrating on two things while you

102
00:06:58,280 --> 00:06:59,590
you're naming your channel.

103
00:06:59,630 --> 00:07:05,210
You should concentrated on longevity and simplicity longevity I mean that your name should be usable

104
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,780
both at zero subscribers and a million subscribers.

105
00:07:08,780 --> 00:07:12,750
You should not be embarrassed to use it at any amount of subscribers.

106
00:07:12,770 --> 00:07:13,820
You are on.

107
00:07:13,820 --> 00:07:15,620
You may go to two billion subscribers.

108
00:07:15,620 --> 00:07:19,820
I don't know you would transform into something really really big and you don't want to be embarrassed

109
00:07:19,820 --> 00:07:21,050
to use it.

110
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,450
So just concentrate on that.

111
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:26,820
And another thing is simplicity and a name should be easy to remember.

112
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,380
It should be easy to remember because hard to remember names.

113
00:07:30,380 --> 00:07:35,960
People are just tend to not remember it and just forget about it and just move on because the competition

114
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,550
is so big.

115
00:07:37,550 --> 00:07:43,240
That's hard to remember names are having a really hard time to be remembered.

116
00:07:43,340 --> 00:07:50,750
So you don't make this mistake make up your channel name that is easy and will be usable for really

117
00:07:50,930 --> 00:07:52,670
really really long time.

118
00:07:52,670 --> 00:07:54,170
All this will be it for this lecture.

119
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,790
Let's let's go to the next one.
