What makes a good channel name
| Quality | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Easy to say and spell | People can search and recommend it |

Personal name or brand name?
A personal name, like “Rahul Explains”, builds trust and suits teachers, coaches and freelancers. A brand name, like “Marketing Simplified”, is easier to hand over to a team or sell later. Many creators combine both. Whatever you choose, keep the same name across YouTube, Instagram and your website.
