Welcome to TubeAnalytics. This guide walks you through setting up your account and connecting your YouTube channel so you can start tracking your analytics.
Step 1: Create Your Account
Visit tubeanalytics.net/signup and create your account using your email address or Google account. We recommend signing up with the same Google account connected to your YouTube channel for a seamless setup.
Step 2: Connect Your YouTube Channel
After signing up, you'll be prompted to connect your YouTube channel:
