Can you make more than one Channel Per your YouTube Account?

(It would be nice to Brand yourself for different subjects)

Or do you need to open up a 2nd account to have a different themed channel?

@Simon – Thanks for stopping by.

Kurt normally charges $200 for design work like this, but he is offering anyone who mentions have read about him on this blog a discount of 50% off: So it’s only $100. (I’ve forfeited my referral fee, too, so as to make this special offer.)

That $100 fee includes up to three revisions if you are not happy with what he comes up with. He’s also great about listening to what you want your design to say and how you want it to match your brand, and then incorporating that into your design. I think it’s definitely worth contacting him.

Many thanks for your comments,
~Julie

Hi Julie,

Thank you so much for keeping me updated on YouTube. I use my own background & it brands me very well.

The branding of one’s self is so important in the online marketing world

BTW, how much does this designer charge?

@Nicolas – Thanks for the feedback on the designs. We are actually in the process of revising Paul’s design for the very reasons you mention. (We just noticed the misaligned top arrow last night, and that’s being fixed first.)

BTW, I agree with you on the annoying aspects of the new channels. I hope that, in time, they iron them out.

All my best, and thanks for stopping by to comment.

The thing I like the most about the new channels is you can keep your visitors there watching all of your videos without leaving your channel. What I don’t like is people leaves less comments as they have to click for the comment box to appear.

I liked the fortune cookies and the Indiana Jones designs but the one from Paul’s channel seems to be full of stuff, you don’t know where to look first (and the top arrow is not even pointing to the Subscribe section). The video preview is full of boxes and text and it doesn’t help the eye to concentrate on the subscribe and play buttons, the two more important buttons on every youtube page, I think.
