    Community Answer
    By creating a YouTube account, you own a channel. Whether or not you upload to it, that's your thing to decide. A lot people use their channel for family use to upload cat videos or "Tommy's first steps" kind of thing. Regardless, they own a channel. Building your channel is not terribly difficult. I recommend using YouTube tutorials to find what best fits your resources.

    Do you have any suggestions on a nice title for a vlog?
    SunPuppy
    Community Answer
    Make the title interesting, so it's able to "hook" the viewer. For example, if you went to the beach, your title could be, "I Went to the Beach and Found a(n) ____!!". Don't over-promise though or people will get annoyed when the video doesn't produce what you said it would.
  • Question
    I have a channel with 2 videos uploaded, but no views and zero subscribers for almost 2 months, what can I do to get views?
    Jolzie75
    Community Answer
    You need to keep posting vlogs and not just have 2, as it takes days, weeks, months, years to build up viewers. A lot of YouTubers whp have been doing blogs had to work hard by posting new videos for a long time to gain viewers. Gaining viewers doesn't happen overnight or with just 2 videos. Keep adding more videos more than once a week.
