Starting your journey as a YouTuber is exciting, but protecting your channel from cyber threats is equally important. To ensure your channel stays secure and grows smoothly, follow these five essential tips.

First, enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on your Google account. This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a verification code along with your password.

Second, use a strong and unique password that combines letters, numbers, and symbols, and avoid common passwords like "123456." Third, be cautious of phishing emails pretending to be from YouTube or Google - never click suspicious links or share login details.

Fourth, manage channel access wisely by using YouTube Studio's “Permissions" feature instead of sharing passwords. Lastly, regularly back up your videos and content to an external drive or cloud storage to prevent data loss.

By following these tips, you can keep your YouTube channel safe and build a lasting presence.
