Choosing Your Cooking Niche (And Your Channel Name)
Here are some tips to make your channel name more impactful.
Use Keywords In Your Channel Name
Your chosen cooking niche and channel name go hand in hand.
The best channel names make it easy to understand what type of content they provide. For example, a vegan channel might use words like “plants”, “green” and “fresh”, etc. A channel focusing on street food could use words like “quick”, “curbside” and “urban”.
Considering words your audience can identify with is important.
The best way to do this is to use the lists above as a starting point. Then, you can also brainstorm further keywords to combine with the above ideas.
Keep It Short and Memorable
A name that’s concise and easy to recall is better than one that’s long and complicated.
Here’s a quick three-step process to test out any channel name:
- Consider the average person in your target audience
- Take your channel name and say it out loud.
- Ask yourself these two questions and take a gut check:
- Is it easy to pronounce a few times in a row?
- Would the average person be able to recall the name an hour after hearing it for the first time? Five hours? Five days?
You might want to choose something easier if the answer is no to any of these above.
Consider Trademarks And Their Use
A trademark is a name that:
- someone else already uses and
- has made their own.
In the cooking niche, there are lots of brands that make use of trademarks to “mark their territory”.
Choosing a channel name that uses the same (or similar) words to such brands can lead to trouble.
If you have to ask whether your proposed channel name is too close to a well-known brand, it probably is.
In that case, stay away from such names. Any potential legal trouble is generally not worth the hassle when you can choose something different from the beginning.
Multilingual and Cultural Considerations
The world of cooking is very diverse. Choosing a channel name everyone can understand (especially with an international audience) is one point to consider.
Moreover, you don’t want to limit your channel’s growth by choosing a name that doesn’t translate well into major languages.
At the same time, don’t go for a name that’s way too generic. In marketing, it’s a well-known fact that trying to appeal to everyone is the same as appealing to no one.
Don’t be afraid to “eliminate” the people you don’t want to attract by choosing a name that doesn’t make them want to click.
If you’re targeting vegans, your channel name will be very different than if you’re targeting meat eaters.
Domain Name Availability
One final thing to do before going ahead with your channel name is to ensure its available as a domain name.
The top domain name registrars will confirm whether you can register a name or if it’s already taken.
Doing this check is important. When it comes time to build a business website associated with your YouTube channel, you don’t want to:
- either have to change your channel name or
- choose a completely different domain name for your website.
Ensuring your preferred domain name is available (and potentially registering it before ever needing it) solves these problems
Conclusion
There you have it! My list of the top cooking YouTube channel name ideas and tips on choosing the right name for your needs.
Creating video content, posting on YouTube, and making money on the platform all start by choosing an appropriate channel name and publishing it.
Remember, growing a successful channel and building a long-term audience is only possible with small, consistent efforts.
It’s time to get going!
