Own link on YouTube channel

Starting in 2014, video bloggers have the opportunity to change the link of their channel. Some channel owners are constantly interested in the possibility of creating their own attractive links.

For the option to change the channel address to become possible, the following conditions must be met:

1. the channel must be more than a month old
2. he must have more than five thousand subscribers
3. video content must be present on the channel
4. visual design of the channel must be present

If your channel has been allowed to change its address, you will be able to receive a notification about this by email and in your account profile itself. But based on notifications, it is not always completely clear how exactly you can change the link to your channel.

Therefore, you should understand this issue, because changing the link a second time will not work.

It is recommended to choose an address that is attractive and catchy. You will be kindly presented with various forms that the YouTube system has selected based on your name or other data from the channel description.

Most people prefer to set English-language URLs for their YouTube accounts. This is not strange, because the English segment of the Internet is much wider. Your name will be added to the link http://www.youtube.com/, which will not be able to repeat those already available on the video hosting.

Sometimes information about the attractiveness and quality of a channel name can be found on the blogs of famous users. It is not recommended to create a very long address. It's good if you use only small letters for the name.

It is also quite effective if you can choose words or phrases for the address that are easy to recognize, rather than unimportant prepositions. This also applies to the use of abbreviations.

Sometimes, to better understand the successful use of an address, you can resort to the experience of foreign colleagues. English-speaking YouTubers often embrace progressive ideas, so there's no need to reinvent the wheel.
