    Hmm, perhaps you could put together a few ideas, and then post a poll on the community to see what people's favourite one is @Globster? 

    Here are a couple of ideas on how to come up with a name:
    • alliteration, e.g. Ross' Rhymes
    • rhyming, e.g. Tori's Stories
    • a nickname you have
    • something that concisely sums up the types of poems you write 
    I also found this guide on coming up with a YouTube channel name on Backlinko, which you might find helpful :)

    I like Jolly Jay's Poems @Globster :) Your poems are always uplifting, so I think it's a good fit!

    @Alex_Scope
    Hello, I hope you are well?
    Would do I need to create a banner and logo before putting my youtube channel live?
    Sorry @Alex_Scope for keep asking questions

    Well, I have to agree with @Tori_Scope that name is a great fit :) And I am well thank you, I hope you are too.

    And you certainly don't have to have a logo or banner, but I think it does help people to find you, and engage with your poems more than they might otherwise.

    There are a lot of free tools out there which you can use, and lots of videos on Youtube which run through them. 

    One I enjoy using is Canva, they have a guide you might find useful, just make sure you stick to the free content. And of course, it depends what works for you, there's a lot of options!

    Hey @Globster

    Well done for creating your own banner and channel! That is amazing work. Something I would certainly struggle to do. You are really talented. I am wishing you all the best of luck with your channel. Please don't hesitate to let us know if you have any more questions about this or anything else!  :)

    Hello Alex_Scpoe
    Do you if I want to get in trouble upload a voice memo file type with spoke poetry and add my own illustration to it on my youtube channel?

    Hi @Globster,
    I think you should be fine to just include your voice with illustrations etc. I know that this is often done with lyric videos for songs and also animations, too, so I can't see there being any issues.

    Feel free to come back here if you need any further assistance with it, we'd be happy to help!

    @Alex_Scope
    I just wanted to ask you whether I have created individual artwork for each of spoken poetry videos

    It might be easier to use one piece of artwork for more than one poem @Globster, perhaps you could do ones that cover broad themes or topics?

    It really depends on how much work you want to give yourself! :)

    Hi there @Globster,
    I thought I'd jump in here, I hope that's okay! I would say that a trailer video isn't necessary. It would be nice if your first video could include a bit of an introduction about you, your poems & why you started writing etc. You could also include a snippet from your favourite poem (written by you), if you're comfortable with that. I think that would suffice. Congratulations on taking this step!

    @Globster,
    I'm not too sure about the guidelines on that in particular, I'm sure Alex will be able to provide further insight in a couple of days, but you can certainly describe what you were thinking in the meantime. I'd love to support you however I can!

    @Globster,
    That sounds like a wonderful idea -- and if we're being poetic about it, really points towards the positive and uplifting tone present in so much of your work. You'll be a star in no time!
