Creating a proper YouTube channel is not a big deal, here is a detailed guide to setting up a Youtube Channel.

 Step 2: Add content

Try to upload content that is high quality, and isn’t super long. (This option can vary depending on what type of content you decide to upload).
Also, try to upload regularly and stay consistent with your uploads.
Even if your content isn’t great at first, keep at it. Practice makes perfect. Try to make each video better than the last. You will often learn as you go.
Improve your content by either using a better camera or trying better editing software or techniques.
Also, try to improve the way things are filmed. Use a tripod, have a friend help you or light your scenes better. It all helps for a better end product which in turn helps you get a better audience.
By uploading regularly you can help hold an audience.
People are more likely to subscribe if you add content on regular schedule, and maintain that schedule as much as possible.
Make sure to tag your videos with keywords that describe the content, as well as an eye-catching description. These will help drive people to your video from YouTube searches.

Step 3: Monetize your videos

In order to start earning money on your videos, you’ll need to enable monetization. This means you are allowing YouTube to place ads in your video. This also means that you acknowledge that there is no copyrighted material in your video.

1. Go to www.youtube.com and click “My Channel” on the webpage.
2. Click the link called “Video Manager” on the top bar.
3. Click channel and Enable on monetization.
4. Get at 4,000 watch hours and 1,000 subscribers

Step 4: Get at least 4,000 watch hours to start earning money.

You can monetize a video as it uploads by clicking the Monetization tab and checking the “Monetize with Ads” box.
To monetize a video after it has been uploaded, open your YouTube Creator Studio, select the channel drop-down and click the Monetization to monetize your videos.

Step 5: Market your videos elsewhere

Don’t put your videos just on YouTube! Start a blog, make a website or post them on other video or social media sites.
The more views it gets, the better. By sharing the link or embedding the video on the internet, you are increasing the chance of it getting noticed.

If someone makes a purchase using your affiliate link, you receive a small commission for the sale.
You can Sell/Promote others’ products as an affiliate marketer, where huge companies, Jumia, Konga, Amazon and eBay, to smaller companies offer good deals to promoters.
