I did successfully create a page. The problem was that it's still not clear to me how to keep identities separate.

I previously worked for a startup, and had a google apps account. It was impossible to convince Google that the account shouldn't have a Google+ profile, or that it should be the same profile as my personal profile.

And to date I'm still not sure if my page is a youtube account page, a page on my personal account page, or both.

I'm sure there are answers to these questions. I'd say most of my research time was spent making sure that the page wouldn't do something I didn't want it to do, because Google+ burned me repeatedly by unintended behavior.

Google also tends to make things permanent, such as the capitalization of my Youtube account channel. So it's not as simple as "follow the instructions on the page".

If you care about identity, you have to follow the instructions on the page AND make sure the instructions won't lead to something permanently wrong.
