Hi All! I am George Pierce. This post is about how you can make a YT banner easily, quickly, and for free. Above is a snapshot of a banner being created at a site called Canva which is Canva dot com. The site is free to join, I believe you may have to join to use it. Canva can help you to create just about any kind of image that you might need. Go to Canva and type into the Canva search box what you want to create.
In this case, type in YouTube Banner. Based on my experience, it is best to choose a banner that is already created rather than start from scratch. The ones that I have created from scratch usually do not fit right and need to be adjusted. Choosing one that is already made is easier, all it needs is a little customization such as changing the text and perhaps an image, and it is faster.
I chose the fourth on the top row and was brought to the page which you see in the snapshot at the top. Click on the text to make changes, To change an image, click on the image, delete it, and add your own or one from Canva. The image that you see is from a free image and free video site called Pixabay. I could not readily find what I wanted at Canva, so I went to Pixabay, found what I wanted, downloaded it, uploaded it to Canva, and added it to the YT banner.
To install your banner go to Customiztion. and then click on Branding.
On Banner Image, click on Change, and then upload, and then Publish.
Once published, click on View Channel to see your banner.
Thank you for reading,
Much success,
George Pierce
PS. The above channel is my fourth YT channel that is based on my adaptation of the Faceless Video strategy which is a way to make money online with YT without making a video, without being on camera, and without spending money. I have laid out the process in detail, there are three easy steps that anyone can follow. Check out my Faceless Video training here.

This is a easy tutorial to follow George. I like the Banner and what you did with it. The faceless videos will work perfect for me.
Be sure to add a trailer and a return video also, rather than a welcome type of video, post a couple of your most watched videos for interest and validation, Thank you, Robin.
