New beginners for YouTube channel may dream big but stopped or made mistakes at the first step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are here to share tips and to point out some common mistakes that beginners for YouTube are making.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are new to YouTube, the first thing you have to so is to thinking about a name for your Channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But keep it in mind, whether you want a private channel or a channel for business, you are like to upload videos for sharing, getting views or being popular online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, what is a solid name for your YouTube channel?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combination of your first name and last name<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the easiest ways is to use your first name and your last name. For example, Kevin David<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"YouTuber
YouTuber Name<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The benefits of naming this way are that as you grow or progress, you are really just building your business with your name, and not necessarily around your brand name. Even you change your topic, job or niche, your name is still kind of brand tightly connected with your former business. In a word, your name is becoming a brand of what you are sharing or promoting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combination of your name and brand<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The second is actually to come up with a brand or a creative name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be quite powerful if you included the stuff of your YouTube channel in the name. The meaning of the name is actually relevant to your content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, Doctor Mike<\/a><\/strong>, including the YouTuber\u2019s self-introduction directly and its niche indirectly. What can you get at the first sight of this name? You may be thinking he is a doctor named Mike. You can subscribe to him whether you are healthy or unhealthy. It\u2019s a good way to get some medical help or information about keeping healthy. This name not only shows what\u2019s it for but also the specific group of people it targeted at. A solid name, a sticky memorable name. At the same time, Mike is becoming a representative of doctors on YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Doctor<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Combination of your name and niche<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The third is a variation of \u201cName&Niche\u201d, and it would be a hybrid name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A combination of your topic and your name. For instance, Yoga with Adriene<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Yoga\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We can easily get information that the channel is all about Yoga, and it could be with Annie, Lucy, or anyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you also see that kind of rhyming such as Tech with Tim<\/a><\/strong>, History with Hilbert<\/a><\/strong>, and Science with Sophie<\/a><\/strong>, those combinations with the same first letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"history<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"history<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Science<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can also try something like that combining your topic with your nickname or first name. If that rhyming is the first several letters, it will be better to make it memorable and sticky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn from the successful YouTubers in your niche<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The last is to pick a name from the model master,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean you can look at the famous YouTubers in your niche to see how they name their channel? You can look at some of your favorite online brands to see how they name their stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There must be something you can learn from them after seeing many enough names. And you may find there may be a framework, so you can also find one to think how to replace the words in it, maybe a topic and an adjective or something that has an energy to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u201cvideo editing tips\u201d as your topic for example. Search it on YouTube, and find several first ranked YouTubers with a large number of subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"video<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Such as this one, we can see the YouTuber named Justin Brown – Primal Video<\/a><\/strong> with 652K subscribers. Justin Brown – Primal Video is a combination of personal and topic. All content about this channel must be related to a video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, video editing tips are an important part of Video. And it has a great targeted group, especially on YouTube. Based on this name, you can replace his name into yours. The \u201cprimal video\u201d is a combination of an adjective and \u201cvideo\u201d, so you can find another adjective to modify the video, or a branch of video, such as tutorial video. The tutorial video is greatly suitable for the topic \u201cvideo editing tips\u201d. Because tutorials are exactly used for sharing something like tips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s all about how to pick up a name in a name format.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mistakes that most YouTubers are making.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Not do the research to see if anybody else has the name.<\/li>
  2. Not check if your name is available on social media because it is really good to keep the unity to every social media.<\/li>
  3. Use the number in your name which is not professionally.<\/li>
  4. Use a name that is hard to spell correctly.<\/li>
  5. Use a name that is too long.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Advice for avoiding the pitfalls in naming your YouTube channel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    1. Use tools like Namecheck<\/a> to check if the name was taken by someone else.<\/li>
    2. Keep your name as simple as possible, memorable, clear and easy to communicable.<\/li>
    3. Keep your name short and powerful. You can use the acronym, or short your name into a combination of words and a letter.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Connect your ideas with the things you want to do, and conclude it into a simple but powerful word or phrase. Finally, use it for your brand, a website, you social media, the overall brand that you want to build online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
