Setting up your YouTube channel

In About section you should add useful information about yourself or your brand, and talk about the type of videos you will be posting on your YouTube channel.
You also need to upload a profile display picture to your channel. If you have created a personal channel, then you can upload a selfie or a picture of yourself as display picture. If the channel you have created is for your brand, then it is a good idea to upload your brand’s logo to the channel.
You can do this by opening YouTube.com in Safari and tapping on your profile photo. Then from the menu tap on ‘Your Channel’ option. Once you are on your channel page tap on Customize Channel button.
After you have added a profile picture to your channel, the next step involves adding a nice YouTube cover to it. YouTube cover of a channel enforces its brand and is a nice way of letting your viewers know what your channel is about.
You can create a YouTube cover using an app like Pixelmator. Make sure you create the cover in 2560×1440 pixels resolution and save the file in PNG or JPEG format. If you don’t want to create the cover yourself, then you can also use Youtube cover templates that can be found online.
