In today’s digital age, people are increasingly sharing their talent, ideas, and experiences with the world on platforms like YouTube. But becoming a successful YouTuber is not limited to just uploading videos or increasing subscribers. You need to manage your channel in safe, smart ways and keep it stable for the long term. If you are also going to enter the world of YouTube, then these 5 important tips will help you keep your channel safe and focus on content creation without stress.
1. Make sure to turn on two-factor authentication (2FA)
The first and most important step is to activate two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Google account. It works as an additional security shield. Even if someone gets your password, he will not be able to log in without entering the verification code received on your mobile.
2. Use a strong and unique password
Common passwords like “123456” or “password” are now a red flag. Choose a password for your YouTube channel that is unique and has a balanced mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Also, this password should be different from any other account. If you want, you can keep it safe with the help of a password manager.
3. Stay away from phishing emails
Many times hackers send fake emails in the name of YouTube or Google, asking for your login details or asking you to click on a suspicious link. Do not click on the link given in any such email. It is better to log in directly by going to the official website of YouTube.
4. Be careful while sharing channel access
If you are working with a video editor or channel manager, do not share your password directly. Instead, use the “Permissions” feature available in YouTube Studio, so that you can give them limited access—that too without compromising the security of your channel.
5. Backup your content from time to time
Any unexpected event like a technical glitch or hacking can happen at any time. Therefore, it is very important to keep a backup of all your videos and important files on an external hard drive or cloud storage. This way, in any situation, your valuable content will remain safe and your channel will continue to run smoothly.
