In this post I will help you to select a name for your YouTube channel. If you are confused that what channel name you should set for your YouTube channel then you are at right place.
Your channel name is the first thing your fans and followers will remember in future so it is very important that you left a good impression among your future followers, Select a name that describes exactly that you are going to upload on your channel. This will help your channel to grow organically as people will search for specific thing and your YouTube channel name will compliment that and comes up in search results hence you will get more organic clicks and subscribers.
So the first idea is to set atopic which revolves around your niche. For example if you are going to make vlogs and your name is Amit then “Amit Vlogs” or “Amit’s Vlog World” is a very simple yet SEO friendly option for you. Please make sure you do not copy this name is this is just an example and Amit is a very common name so most probable there are tons of YouTube channels with this name.
The second option here is to set your name of select your name according to your choice. This option is best for people who wants to build their personal brand and don’t want to stick to a single niche. This category people can select any name with its’s own uniqueness and identity. For Example you can select your original name and nickname so that people remember it for your personal identity which cannot be linked with any single niche.
Best channel name depends on the type of channel you want to make and what type of content your are going to put in future. There are some things and tips that everyone should follow like:
- You should not select a long name for your channel: This makes your channel name hard to remember which can be a downside if you want your visitors to come again.
- You should always select a unique name which does not match with other creators with same niche.
- Never use same suffix for your channel name that is being used very commonly. For example using “Technical” Word while making tech channel. (I have done this mistake as in 2016 every channel has this Technical Word in their names making it very common and less attractive.
- Do not use any offensive word in your channel name because YouTube blocks these words and do not promote them. So your whole channel will be blacklisted and won’t grow no matter how good content you put. (Things like war, violence, slangs, swear words etc.)
- Avoid using special characters or anything which is not visible on different platforms. (Not all devices support special characters so make sure your avoid emoji or special characters in your channel name)
If you follow these tips then I am sure you will be able to select a very good name for your channel. I wish you all the best for your future on YouTube.
Thanks.
