About YouTube Creators

YouTube Creators is a reference site about building and running a channel. We write for people who have just uploaded their first video and for creators who already have an audience and want it to grow steadily.

What we cover

  • Planning videos, titles, thumbnails and descriptions
  • Understanding views, watch time and subscriber growth
  • Uploading, publishing and channel settings
  • Community, comments and working with viewers
  • Ways channels earn money and what that involves

How our articles are made

Articles are written by the YouTube Creators Editorial Team with AI assistance. Every article lists the sources it draws on, and the facts and figures in it are checked against those sources before it goes live. We publish under the editorial team name rather than under an individual author, because the work is shared.

If something in an article looks wrong, tell us in the comment form under it. Confirmed errors get corrected and the article is updated.
