Setting up Social Media

I know, I know, I'm probably putting the cart before the horse but I started setting up some of the social media accounts that I'll use for when I start my YouTube channel. I was trying to come up with a name for the channel and when I settled on one, I did a bit more searching to see if it was available on YouTube, FaceBook and Gmail. 
Moto-360 by Motorola
(a watch, not a YouTube channel!)
My first choice was moto360, as it turns out there is already a moto360 and although it's not really anything to do with what I want to do, I didn't want any confusion or any chance of being told that I had to change my name. The moto360 is actually a smart watch by Motorola.
I'm not sure if I want to link my moto vlogging with this blog at this stage, so I won't put the name I've decided on in here, but I've been setting things up and have been playing with logos and backgrounds. So far, I've only put up that the first season is coming and I haven't uploaded any videos yet. 
I've been doing more research into how to promote a YouTube channel too. Basically, what I've read and watched so far is what I was expecting, high quality video with high quality audio does a lot better than lower quality, no big surprises there. I've been learning about paying for placements too, I'm not sure if that's a path I want to go down but I might give it a go.
So I have my YouTube, FaceBook and Gmail sorted out, I still need to sort out a website and/or a Patreon site.
I still need to purchase a 360° camera. I thought I'd decided on going for the GoPro Fusion but I don't know if the slightly better image quality is worth paying over twice as much for. I know the better the image quality is, the better the content is and the more likely I am to succeed, I just don't think it is worth all the extra money. I'm leaning back towards the Insta360 One, it gets very good reviews and the price is appealing too.
