When starting a YouTube channel, is it best to register it?

Post by drpeppercan »

As in registering a company (Sole Proprietorship)?
I am wondering if I should also get a WWW domain name?

Or is it better to wait until I’m bigger and decide then?

Thanks in advance guys/gals

youtube won't consider any monetization untill your first video reaches 10k views. they won't even bother converting to vp9 (new protocol for better quality) until that video reach 1000 views.

unless you post your copy written material on your channel i don't see any need to register anywhere. you'll need to ask better info from youtube, not here. searching on youtube will get you better results

I had already approached the TY forums. And your reply was much better than theirs:

"Up to you. Get advice from an accountant and lawyer based on your circumstances.
If this is going to be a "business" that you need to keep separate from your personal finances, then maybe."


Thank you trytip :)
