If you’re a doctor starting your YouTube journey, setting up your channel properly is the first step to success. Whether you’re sharing health tips, clinic updates, or patient awareness videos, your channel settings can make a big difference in reaching the right audience.
Here’s a simple guide to help you get started:
✅ Use Indian Rupee as Default Currency
When setting up your channel, go to general settings and select Indian Rupee (INR) as your default currency. This helps YouTube understand your country and can assist with monetization features in the future. Also, make sure your country of residence is set to India.
🌍 Target the Right Location for Better Reach
YouTube uses geographical data to recommend videos to viewers in specific locations. If you want to reach Indian patients, make sure your location settings are accurate. Without this, your content may not reach the people who need it most.
🔓 Unlock Advanced Features
New YouTube channels don’t get all the features right away. You must verify your phone number to access tools like:
- Live streaming
- Content ID
- Scheduling daily uploads
- Embedding live streams
For full verification, you can use your Aadhaar card or another valid ID. Keeping your channel active with regular uploads also builds history and credibility.
⚙️ Optimize Upload Defaults and Advanced Settings
To save time while uploading your videos:
- Set default title, description, and tags
- Choose your video visibility (public, private, or unlisted)
- Pick a license type (Standard YouTube License is commonly used)
- Set your video category, like Health and Wellness
This helps YouTube understand your content and recommend it to the right audience.
👁️ Manage Viewer Perception Strategically
You have the option to hide likes and view counts when starting. This encourages viewers to focus on your message instead of numbers. It’s a helpful way to grow confidently while still learning.
