The Exciting News

YouTube just introduced the YouTube handle! This is exciting news! This means that there is a new way your business can be discovered on this super popular social media platform.

What This Means For Businesses

This means that you have to hurry and create your own handle! Everyone will have a unique handle and you will want to claim yours before it's taken. After all, having a handle that matches your business name looks a lot more professional than having another handle (or having to tack on a few numbers at the end of your handle like this: @empoweredsocialmedia123). Those handles tend to look like a scammer made them.

Other Things Businesses Should Know

• YouTube is slowly rolling out this feature, so if you can't see how to change your handle yet this is why.

• You will know when you have the capability to create a handle for your channel when you receive a notification email from YouTube.

• YouTube will automatically assign you a handle. You can change this in YouTube Studio!
