 YouTube handles are on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you don't get your handle secured, someone else may take it from you. What are they? Well, let me show you. This is the official YouTube help, and the handles all start with at, just like on Twitter. You need to secure your name before someone else takes it. For example, here is my Twitter handle. I have secured youtube.com slash at georgebenews, that means no one else can be at georgebenews. People can change their channel title to read georgebenews, just like they can change their channel title to read PewDiePie, but once you've secured your handle with the at, no one else can take it. So make sure your brand, your name, whatever you call yourself on YouTube is protected. Go to youtube.com slash handle. That's what you'll see when you, this is what you'll see when you come to this page. You can click change handle and you can type anything you want. This is cool. I didn't know this until recently. YouTube will pick a handle for you, but if you don't like this, let's say I wanna call myself Jorge Venduz. YouTube lets me. What if I just wanna call myself George? Nice and simple and short. Whoop, can't type. YouTube will not let me. Why is this already taken? What if I wanted to call myself George Wong and I'd have to be George Wong 87 or some other number to make it unique. This is why it's important for you to make sure your channels are protected, your handles are taken. Go there right now if you haven't, youtube.com slash handle and change it to what you want. We have now secured youtube.com slash at freedom and we've secured youtube.com slash at heartbeat. Try it. Let me show you. If I type youtube.com slash at heartbeat. It takes us to our heartbeat channel. Welcome to heartbeat. How cool is that? The last extension you'll ever need to customize. Tell me down there in the comments below what your youtube handles are and how you've protected them. And by the way, this is like the original version of heartbeat, not the real, not the 2023 heartbeat. I'll tell you about that in a second. Just my hair. And I just wanna make sure you get protected. Now the link to this official youtube help article is down there in the description below where you can read all about youtube handles, why they're important, what youtube wants to achieve with them and they do not allow the sale and transfer of handles. So you can't like take all the handles in the world that you can and then try to sell them off like domain names. All those domain name squatters. So annoying, right? So you can do many things though to protect your handle. And the best way is to, if you have more than one brand or more than one identity, just make sure each one is protected on a separate channel. Only one channel is allowed, one brand, one at name. And think of it just like Twitter. It'll be used for mentioning you in the comments. It'll be used for your URL. It'll be used in YouTube shorts and I'm sure many other places. So get your at handle. Now let me talk a little bit about heartbeat. I made a video, heartbeat in 2023. I'll show you the video. It's on youtube.com slash at freedom. We have not started publishing to the heartbeat channel yet. Here it is. And this is what we will be building in 2023.
