Hello, dear visitors of my blog, few of you have not heard of Youtube - but not everyone knows how to register on YouTube. My article will help you understand this issue. This video hosting has long and firmly entered our lives, I can say for myself that I use it often. I watch reviews of various gadgets or software, cartoons with a child, video instructions on website building and promotion. You can find a video answer to almost any question on YouTube. And people actively use it.

How to register on YouTube? It's simple!

I would like to draw your attention to the fact that if you have a Google account, you do not need to register on YouTube, since Google uses a single account in all its services.

Otherwise, go to the site itself www.youtube.com and click on the “Login” button, of which there are already two - in the upper right corner and in the lower left.

And then, if we didn’t have a Google profile through which we can log in and log in, then click on the button below...

We fill in the fields in the form that appears - first name, last name, email address, date of birth, gender, phone number (optional), come up with a username and password, and then click on the next button...

That's the whole registration procedure. In principle, it only takes a couple of minutes. But by registering, you will get access not only to youtube but also to:

• social network google+
• gmail
• google play store
• excellent google maps
• you can synchronize the google chrome browser on all computers
• and other useful services.

What is good about YouTube for a blogger? Since everyone knows that a huge number of people log into it every day, why not use this fact to attract traffic. Typically, bloggers create their own channels (creating them is no more difficult than registering on YouTube) and post videos there on the topics of their blogs. If the video turns out to be useful or somehow attracts the attention of users (well, for example, charisma), then the blog author receives good traffic from this video hosting. Also important is the fact that you can add advertising to your videos and have quite a passive income from this.

In the future, I also plan to start my own channel on YouTube or at least post videos on our blogger video channel “Round Table Bloggers,” which we and the rest of the community members created relatively recently. I would especially like to note the activity in this direction of two wonderful bloggers - Alexandra Dubrovchenko and Tatiana Sova. The guys did some good work that was necessary for the common good.

By the way, I would like to note that USB flash drives with an OTG interface for connecting to a smartphone are now very popular. There are tens of thousands of orders for Ali.

I hope that my article helped you learn how to register on YouTube. Read and don’t forget about mine. Well, that's probably all. Bye!

All users of the popular video hosting can be divided into three groups. Those who sometimes come to the site. Those who have an account. And those who have both an account and a channel. If you want to get additional features for convenient use of YouTube, then you need an account. And if you want to become a blogger, then you can’t do without a channel. Below we will tell you the difference between creating an account and a channel, and how to do them via PC.

What is the difference between registering an account and a channel on Youtube?

An account on YouTube allows you not only to expand your activity on it, but also to use additional services from Google. If you have a personal account on YouTube, then you can:

• create your own channel, promote it and earn income;
• subscribe to bloggers' projects. Subscription prevents you from missing new publications;
• add videos to bookmarks and return to watching later. This function is useful when you do not have time to finish viewing, but would not like to look for the publication again and remember where you left off;
• comment on videos;
• Rate content: give thumbs down or thumbs up. Thus, deciding the fate of the video in the rating table;
• communicate with other users in private messages.

A YouTube channel is a project that opens up even more video hosting functions to you. You can easily upload your content, create playlists and monetize your activities, that is, earn income from them.

The difference between an account and a channel is that without the first there will be no second. If you have not registered in the system, you will not be able to open your project.

Oh, you can get information from the corresponding article.
