If you have a Google account that you already want to use for your channel, you’ll be prompted to sign in.

I recommend creating a new, dedicated account specifically for your YouTube channel. This way, you can share it with multiple people. This also limits any security issues tied to your personal account.

Once you create a Google account, head to YouTube and click Sign in.

The Google sign in window where you can create an account for instagram data yourself, your child or to manage your business.
Head over to YouTube’s homepage. Click on the avatar icon in the top right corner of the screen. Then, select Create a channel from the drop-down.

The YouTube dropdown menu in the upper right corner of YouTube where you can select to create a YouTube channel.
You’ll then be prompted by the following screen, which asks you to create a channel name.

The pop up window when you create a name for your new YouTube channel.
Now, you can stop here. Or, you can create two channels: one for your Google account and a separate one for your brand. To do this, go to your Settings > Create a new channel > you’ll be prompted by this window.

Unless you’re a creator, dedicating your YouTube channel to a brand account makes the most sense and allows you to add multiple managers.
