Order LaunchNot sure which fits? If you're testing an idea, Starter gets you a proper channel. If you already know you'll upload weekly, Complete pays for itself in saved setup and SEO time. Launch is for faceless channels and businesses that want a plan, not just a channel. Still unsure? Send the order form with your idea and I'll tell you honestly which package fits — including if that's Starter.

Optional extras
Add any of these to a package. Each add-on is priced in your written quote before you fund anything — no add-on is ever charged silently.
Extra branding variant
A second banner/logo direction so you can choose, or a seasonal refresh of your banner later in the year.
Additional content-plan month
Another 30 days of topics and titles in the same format as the Launch content plan, matched to what's working on your channel.
Channel audit
Already have a channel? A structured review of your settings, branding and SEO with a written fix list — applied for you if you then order a package.
Thumbnail starter set
A small set of reusable thumbnail templates in your channel's style, so your first uploads look consistent.
Package questions, answered
Starter builds the channel: creation, logo and banner, profile/About and all settings. Complete adds the growth layer on top — channel SEO (researched keywords, SEO description, tags template), an intro and outro, a playlist structure and an SEO template for your first video. If you plan to upload regularly, Complete is the one most clients choose.
A specialisation and a plan. Launch includes everything in Complete, tailored either for a faceless/automation-style channel or for a business, plus a monetization roadmap (the steps and requirements to reach the YouTube Partner Program), a 30-day content plan with topics and titles, and 14 days of priority support after delivery.
No. Monetization depends on your content and audience, which no setup service controls. Launch gives you the correct foundation and a clear roadmap of the requirements — the videos and the audience are yours to build.
Your channel idea (niche and a few example channels you like, if any), a name if you have one, and your email. You never share a password: either I build on a fresh account and hand over ownership, or you grant editor access through YouTube Studio.
Through Upwork escrow — see the order page for the 4 steps. Repeat clients and businesses can also pay by Payoneer payment request or US bank transfer (ACH); mention it in your order email.
Each package includes a reasonable round of adjustments to the delivered branding and text — if the banner style or About wording isn't right, tell me and I'll fix it before you release the escrow. The escrow itself is your protection: you only release payment when you're satisfied with what was agreed.
Ready when you are
Tell me your channel idea, fund the escrow, and your channel gets built — payment stays protected until you approve the finished work.
