I been off putting making a channel for years, it was always “after this after that” and after never came. Finally I made one and I’ve decided to keep it a secret from friends and family , Bc I feel like that will work best for me until I grow and get comfortable and confident behind the camera and will technology, uploading , being consistent etc.. thank you so much for the video. I’m going to add this to my “KZbin help” playlist!

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome - wishing all the best for your channel 👍

[@leowoodwind7723]

I wish every teacher I've had in life explained things as well as you do!!!

[@coryhughes]

I like that they have the YT template guidelines. I was pulling my hair out over at Canva trying to size the banner correctly. Ill try Snappa. Thanks for the video.

You're welcome - hope it works out for you!

[@LIFE_in_118_SCALE]

Hey Justin, I have a question. When you upload a video on youtube, where do you go to put the hashtag on? Great videos you have on your channel! You're the reason I'm a creator now. Great work, thanks.

[@Untold_taleofafrica]

U put the hashtags after the title i.e #videomarketing

[@GameIT.]

In the description

[@TheBeardedHefner]

Hey sir. New creator myself. You enter the hastags anywhere in the description box after you upload and the first 3 will display under the video as you see in Justin's video. Hope this helps.

[@LIFE_in_118_SCALE]

Thank you everyone. That helps a lot!

[@NocturnalAmbience]

Thanks for the prompt! Updating my banner has been on my list for a while, but I always find I'm focused on creating new videos. I've not used Snappa before and followed along. One note was the neither of the PNG options gave me a file size below the 6 MB limit. The jpeg worked but is not great resolution. I'll try making something similar in Photoshop!

[@PrimalVideo]

You're welcome - whatever you do, hope it works out! 👍

Try resizing the artwork on your computer. This is what the youtube help section said, "How to resize images You can use your computer's image editor or an online image resizer to resize the images. For example, you can use Preview on an Apple computer or Microsoft Photos on Windows."

[@derekdarvell]

Hey have you considerd giving an introduction as to how to create a banner template for the image of the KZbin video that helps viewers to feel more attractive. How did you do it with your videos?

How do you put that thing on the left side of your screen in 0:08, I may wanna make one to put social medias in there?

[@djdannybhtx]

Followed all of your steps but it keeps telling me that my banner is too big. How can that be if I selected the Snappa banner? Also, how long does it take for the clickable links to appear in the banner. I did mine but they are not showing in the right box side.

[@aprilthemomtrepreneur]

How do you make the social media icons actually clickable in your banner? I followed your video, made the icons in snappa, put the links in my channel, but the icons on the banner are not linked or clickable. My links only show up below in the description. Any advice? Thank you!

You can export as a JPEG or different file from Snappa and you can make the file smaller

I have a question Justin, what do you think causes a video to be blurry after it's uploaded on KZbin? And is not blurry upload. 🤔

Upload in 4K and YT will give you a better quality. Upscale to 4K if originsl solution is smaller.
