What is a Channel?

Think of a channel as your project workspace in Subscribr - similar to how projects work in ChatGPT or Claude. It's where all your settings, scripts, research, and preferences live together.

Understanding Channels

A channel in Subscribr is your home base for creating content. When you create a channel, you're setting up a workspace that stores:

• Your voice profile - How your scripts should sound
• Your audience avatar - Who you're creating content for
• Your templates - Your preferred script structures
• Your scripts - All the content you create
• Your research - Saved sources and materials

Three Ways to Add a Channel

When you create a new channel, you'll choose from three options:

1. Connect YouTube

If you already have a YouTube channel with videos, this is the recommended option. Subscribr will:

• Import your channel information automatically
• Analyze your top-performing videos
• Train a voice profile based on your transcripts
• Build an audience avatar from your content

2. Start Fresh

Don't have a YouTube channel yet? No problem! Choose this option to create a custom channel workspace where you can:

• Define your target audience manually
• Create a voice profile from scratch or from writing samples
• Plan your content strategy before publishing

This is perfect for new creators who want to plan their channel before going live.

3. Remix Channel

Want to create content inspired by a successful creator? Remix lets you:

• Analyze a competitor or inspiration channel
• Take what works from their approach
• Add your unique perspective and voice

You can keep their voice style or apply your own, and focus on similar topics or take them in a new direction.

Common Questions

What if my YouTube channel doesn't have many videos?

Voice training uses your top-performing videos by view count. If your channel doesn't have many videos yet, we'll use whatever's available plus your channel description. You can always add your own writing samples later to improve the voice profile.

Can I have more than one channel?

Yes! You can create as many channels as your plan allows. This is useful for:

• Managing multiple YouTube channels
• Creating different content series with different tones
• Testing different approaches before committing

What happens if I delete a channel?

Deleting a channel removes all associated scripts, research, and settings permanently. This action cannot be undone, so make sure to export any scripts you want to keep first.

Can I switch or add a different YouTube channel later?

Yes, you can link a different YouTube channel to your Subscribr channel at any time through the channel settings. This will re-train your voice profile with the new channel's content.

Next Steps

Once your channel is set up, you'll want to:

1. Review and refine your Audience Avatar
2. Customize your Channel Voice
3. Create your first script
