If you’re a YouTuber with more than one niche or want to have a second channel for all your extra content, you’re in luck. Most people think that one Gmail account can only have a single YouTube channel, but that is not true. You can create a dozen of channels with one Gmail account.
In this article, we’ll show you how to make a second channel on YouTube.
Why Is It Necessary to Create a Second YouTube Channel?
It does not matter if you are a professional Youtuber or a viewer. A second YouTube channel is too useful to skip out. A second YouTube channel allows creators to make a different type of content that would be unfitting for their main channel. Moreover, now that YouTube has introduced a new feature called YouTube shorts, it’s a great call to make a second YouTube channel focused solely on shorts.
Sure, you can create shorts on your main account as well, but sometimes the huge amount of content in a single channel can be overwhelming to the viewers.
If you are a regular viewer, a second channel can be useful if you have many interests. A single channel can get very crowded with suggestive content when you watch a bunch of different genres of YouTube videos.
Creating a Second YouTube Channel
YouTube allows you to create multiple channels under the same Gmail account. Most creators have a second account that contains videos that are not suitable for their main channel.
