peeling back the secret and showing you the channel and all of its stats i want to fully answer that question don't worry all the juicy bits gonna be slightly after wait one sec is it too late to start a channel on youtube no all you need to do is make sure that you have a passion for something that you love and are willing to do the research this channel here is all about youtube channel growth i teach you how to start a youtube channel grow a youtube channel make a business out of it this channel will have a much slower growth trajectory than many others because i am so niche i am a educational channel that solely teaches youtube wannabes about youtube growth very very unique very very niche but you can have explosive growth in a trending topic that could explode your channel from zero to over five thousand subscribers in two months now why did i start a second youtube channel well every year i learned something new i deliberately go out of my way to put a little bit more knowledge in my noggin three years ago it was all about youtube growth two years ago it's about growing my business and debt recovery last year it was blogging and this year it's cryptocurrency and that's where the new channel comes in i am the crypto rookie and yes basically i've deep dived into one of the things that i've really wanted to learn for about three four years now but here's the edge to my channel i don't claim to be an expert i just simply tell people exactly what i'm learning about cryptocurrency as i learn it and react to the very hot topic right now of cryptocurrency i started the youtube channel in march and it is now the middle of may and after a first couple of weeks of uploading content it then exploded the advantage i now have there is that it's a much trendier topic that's all about money and crypto and this new trendy thing that could be in the news and my passion and i don't necessarily have to directly teach i just have to document this gave me a foot in the door and that helped me on my path towards my first 100 subscribers so how do you get your first 100 subscribers in just how many days one pick your niche now this could be something that's truly inside of you or if you're smart it could be something that you love and has potential if you want a youtube channel to grow very very quickly you need to think of the potential outside of your own head reach of this topic there are topics out there that are beginning all of the time that can explode hugely in my case i chose cryptocurrency for my youtube channel which was great because right now there is a crypto currency bull market more and more people get excited more people are jumping in i can put out constantly updating breaking news and educate people alongside in my travel i have the advantage there that it's a hot topic right now that i'm also a rookie and the constant breaking news allows me the chance to jump on the news cycle pump up a load of views gain a load of interested faces interested people i have the advantage that i've been making videos on the platform for i don't know eight years on enough for me my clients that kind of thing so i have down pat all of these kind of tricks and tips so yes i may have a little bit of advantage but anybody can have these so pick your niche but maybe be smart about it have a look at what's trending right now maybe you are a huge gaming fan but there's a new zelda game out tomorrow or you have a look at people like pokemon go who immediately jumped on that game immediately as it was hot and started a youtube channel started teaching and playing the game those channels pokemon go to channels once again went from zero to millions in a couple of months a few examples right now could be starting an entire channel dedicated to a premier league football team once the football league season starts destiny 2 has just launched its brand new season but there's a brand new dlc called the witch queen in january 2022. that could be a good time to start dedicated content on that for a huge growth you need to be thinking of things that is available right now that has potential for constant breaking news that way you get to the trending stuff and then you can pat it out with the evergreen stuff in the middle i feel gone are the days where you can just hop on and become a vlogger unless you've got some kind of twist another example right now could be your whole channel could be dedicated to playstation restocking every week you hop on and you talk about these places have stock you can also put up videos immediately as they have stock and in the evergreen video slowly over time you can start making game reviews and playstation mods you could dedicate your entire channel to a playstation 5 or an xbox one series s whatever they call it these days hopefully you get my point pick a niche but not just general really have a look at things you can have a look at things like google trends right now for example see if the trend line's going up i know the cryptocurrency right now for my channel will have a lifespan this year until about september october november and then unfortunately due to crypto it will crash and then i'll have two years of calming down but during that calming down period i can make educational content and i would have already gained the audience if i've gained 5 000 subscribers in two months imagine what i can do by the end of the year and then i have to just generate content to keep them warm for two years two pick a type of video as i've said previously i'm deliberately going out my way to make breaking news videos it's nothing that i can pop up the advantage in my niche is that the type of videos that i can create the people in that niche already seem to do off-the-cuff video so the type of video i can do are vloggy little shaky things on my mobile phone that i can upload immediately people understand that and seem to expect that from that niche which means when i polish it up a little bit they're pleasantly surprised but if i very very quickly need to pop out a video now record a three to five minute video now to have it online in a minute's time i can do so basically if people in your space are already creating vloggy type content and you know that it succeeds then that's the type you know you can make when it comes to the topic this is where you need to dig around and realize what you can do is there breaking news in your industry is there something that you can constantly pop up with is there a specific trend in that industry right now for example book hauls unboxings maybe you're only talking about apple m1 products so you want to talk about every m1 launch that's come out the apple product range recently the best way to figure this out is have a look at your other competitors and see what kind of content they do see which ones does successfully well or see how what style they make and that way you can emulate them and of course you can always use something like viq for video ideas and topics that's pulled in all of the information from your niche anyway now you can use those as jumping off points i've done a video on that it's in the i card somewhere up here three the importance of branding one of the very first things i did when launching this channel is establish its identity figure out its brand name i made sure that i would be able to claim that custom channel url when i hit 100 subscribers which is youtube.com forward slash crypto rookie once i did that i then went to a place like people per hour and i asked someone professionally to design a little logo for me which i've then put only on the banner but the avatar and in the top left-hand corner of every single one of my thumbnails to building brand identity it's also going to be the watermark of those videos that way everyone understands who the crypto rookie is ding the reason that branding is so important is because if you act professionally then it looks professional and you're going to pull people in there's nothing more demoralizing when you first upload your videos you've got zero subscribers and then people pile in and you're worried that oh yeah but what if they see i've only got two or three subscribers maybe they won't subscribe if you act professional if you act like you're supposed to be there right even if you are in my case just explaining how much of a rookie you are within the crypto space people are gonna forgive a lot and as long as you're giving valuable content they won't care how many subscribers you've got when was the last time you looked at a channel that you really liked and went uh well it's only got two subs so i won doesn't happen four and here's the strategy bit i made sure before i even launched that i had 10 videos in the bank to upload straight off the bat before uploading my 11th why is this well let's say you come across my channel my crypto rookie channel you're really excited you like the new video that i've uploaded about a new cryptocurrency price or some news or some gossip right you've watched the video and then you want to go see more of me but there's nothing to binge thinking the last time you got into a tv series where you watched something that you really really loved you went back and watched the start you went back and binge watched them all especially in current culture people are so used to binge watching or you've only just found a new podcast and oh they've got 20 old episodes now if your channel solely based on news obviously this can be hard but i made sure that i started with a few evergreen pieces of content some entertaining things to pull people in uploaded them all uploaded them two a day made sure it was quick pace and then started piling in the fresh new content this way people can go back binge that content the channel gets a load of watch time from all the fresh new faces right that way you've watched one then you've watched 10 11 videos and then boom that pushes up the channel why because youtube gets to see people come in interact immediately quickly there's no bad statistics from it just never existing before right and bang up it goes not to mention the very important thing that i made a youtube video trailer that goes on my homepage that very quickly explains who i am what i do and why i'm there that will never get explosive growth that will never get explosive ta-da here's a new video right but what it does is it sits there like a trojan horse and slowly introduces people every time they are new to the channel homepage hi i'm alan i'm the crypto rookie i'm here to learn with you blah blah blah blah blah i kind of understand the thing i'm talking about come and join me on my weird crazy ride five every time i upload a video i pin a comment at the top of my video comments and more often than not when starting the channel it's always the subscribe link the reason for this is that you want to make it as easy as possible for someone to find a way to subscribe to you and that subscribe link is also an auto subscribe link one of those ones where you click on it and it immediately goes oh are you sure you want to subscribe yes rather than just jumping to your channel home page if you want help on knowing how to make a youtube auto subscribe link info in the icard this also gives a jumping off point if you've pinned a comment at the start of your video right at the top that asks some things about the video it could encourage other people to start communicating and reference that video it could be in this case what's your favorite crypto coin are you holding a specific coin or in your case who's your favorite footballer who's your favorite game character do you play destiny 2 blah blah blah blah blah ask the question that is relevant to the video above start the conversation pull people in and six most importantly once they start replying reply to every comment when your channel has only just started there is no excuse no excuse to not reply to every comment and also bait a reply from your reply if you have zero subscribers if you have anything less than 100 subscribers less than 100 active subscribers for that matter you're not going to get many comments anyway so you might as well treat every single person with the respect they deserve because they came to find you a new youtuber they bothered to comment on you a new youtubers videos so you should be replying not only replying engaging having a conversation asking another question let me reply with hey great video and you can reply great what did you like about it is there anything you do differently is there any questions you have those kind of questions can then spark a conversation and you can keep going what that also does is it brings people back they get used to you they say that you're human there's a chance that they build up some kind of connection wow a youtuber reply to me subscribe there is a new metric in the youtube analytics dashboard which tracks new users and return users and the closer those lines are together the more likely you are to accelerating growth and get more subscribers that is why my new channel is getting around about 150 200 subscribers each and every day when the channel is only two months old combination of everything above trending topic with relevant news with branding with thumbnails channel trailer engaging content where you are communicating with them once you're on your roll to your first 100 subscribers you hit that huge euphoric moment you can go out and start creating more content to push you towards 1 000 subscribers unlocking live streaming and your community tab all of which i did within around about four to six weeks so you've got your first 100 now you need to grow start using these tips okay so you've got your first 100 subscribers and that's your base that's your core that's your die hard people those are the first few people that have come through your door a few of your friends a few of your family members but most importantly the starting of a community now we're going to push you towards 1 000 subscribers however if you are struggling with the zero to 100 there's the video the first part of this series that is up here this entire series is built around the fact that i started a youtube channel just two months ago and i've taken it from zero subscribers to over 5 000 subscribers in two months and i'm just about to monetize it as well i'm going to teach you how i did that how i grew and what things you need to focus on whilst doing so so hit subscribe so you don't miss any of these videos and as i said go back and check the first one so you've got the foundation of this so you understand the things that you need to always do before piling on these things are we ready let's go to one thousand youtube shorts this is a brand new wild wild west territory that is being fed to us right now youtube shorts is the opportunity that you may have been looking for as a small youtuber your chance to upload vertical format content that is short sweet easy to produce punchy but most importantly have a chance of reaching out to the wider audience even though you are not a big boy one of the most impactful things on my new channel that i ever used was youtube shorts and the reason for this is that if you can encapsulate something very punchy very to the point that answers a question or intrigue someone within 60 seconds there's a chance that it'll be placed on the youtube shelf which if you're watching on mobile it's it's kind of just below here they have to relate to the topic that happens to be above and there's a chance that you can be pushed to the moon in fact this test challenge itself has a couple of videos that are all about youtube shorts and it's got 100 200 000 views once again from initially zero subscribers and this helps lift the channel one thing you need to note though is youtube shorts is mainly there to help you collect subscribers and awareness because if you can hook them quick enough that they like it and maybe even hit the subscribe button brilliant but they're not gonna binge four five ten minutes worth of watch time in a youtube short that's not how they work so you balance youtube shorts against the original content that's already on your channel that is longer form content so the shorts for subs the subs will come piling in and then when you publish your next four five ten minute long video that's the ones that need to be laser focused and punchy enough that steel would deliver on the promise that you gave within the youtube shorts so two punchy videos in my case i understood that my audience was looking for something around that cryptocurrency space so the youtube shorts were the short sound bites either from myself or short educational lessons or sound bites from the big gurus within that space now the punchy videos that aren't news related videos which we discussed in the the first zero to 100 these punchy videos have to have some kind of meat on them these are not news directed videos these are videos that people can come in and in my case learn and be educated from all my opinion my experience of being a crypto rookie and learning this new space these punchy videos have to have some kind of unique qualifier whether it's you're curious about my journey or whether it's you're hungry for the knowledge that happens to be within it these punchy videos can't ramble on and on and on but they also have to be dense enough to have information within them so in the realms of the cryptocurrency channel that i started these are these are lists of top five coins that you should go and check out top five twins that are going to pop by the end of the month me explaining the ugly truth about cryptocurrency me explaining what bitcoin happens to be and then over time i'm also going to explain what ethereum is and what the bitcoin halving and all things that are relevant to that niche the things that they are coming to learn for you for example if you were doing youtube shorts about gaming and then it's like look at this quick i don't know fantastic kill that you've got in fortnite but then the rest of your videos is teaching you i i don't play fortnite bad example let's step into something that i know let's say your youtube shot's all about the best gun in destiny 2 and how you're able to kill people and get fantastic kill streaks in pvp the long punchy videos that are sucking people in is maybe teaching them how to play that way how to be defensive what armor set they should wear you teach them a decent cross stitch in knitting and then you show them the whole jumper pattern you have a quick video of 60 seconds where they go from raw chicken through to fantastic meal and then in the long video you teach them how to cook that perfectly cooked roast chicken see how this is working it's a two-pronged attack the shorts bring the subscribers in that you now know that they're interested in your niche in your general sphere and now you deliver them with something longer that's how you get the watch time and the more watch time the more it gets suggested the more it gets suggested the more people come in the wider the audience happens to be the more subscribers you're starting to convert not only with the youtube shorts as the kind of bait but with the longer film content that thing it gets them used to you and your educational style you could have an entire channel about youtube shorts but in the long run that's going to be a nightmare to not only monetize but also get the watch time hours that you need to get to that point three thumbnails now this is one of the things that i've become better and better at over time in fact one of the first things i did on this channel to make sure that i maximized my potential is i started leaning into a thumbnail strategy as you can see from the screen here some of my old thumbnails were fairly generic me with the white black red wording and the shelving in the background okay that's fine it tells you what the thumbnails are about but over time i understood the power of every element of the pixel you're looking to do two things with a thumbnail one stop them scrolling and two make them click if you want to stop them scrolling you need to make sure that you stand out against everybody else in that search result i use the vidiq thumbnail comparison tool in fact i've done a whole breakdown of how i did that in how i tripled my click-through rate there's a video here or here it's in one of the i-cards the instant i started using click-through rate as some kind of long-term metric is the point when i doubled tripled the size of my channel from 2020 to 2021 if you can raise the overall click-through rate of your channel not only are you getting more people per thousand views per 100 views right but overall the sentiment of your channel is looked upon better you can also then see what videos did well and lean into those and you can understand what topics people just aren't interested in and therefore didn't click on them it could be drilled into before the vid iq channel audit tool now if you don't have the time or the money to go out of your way to hire some kind of consultant to pick through every fine detail of your analytics right and to tell you specifically hi jeff do this hi diana do that right if you if you don't have the time or the assets to go and hire some kind of expert then the vidiq audit tool does a good job for free within the subscription that is vidiq a subscription by the way that you can get for 20 discount if you go to vidiq.com alan spicer the vidiq audit tool basically pulls all of the data from your channel it will tell you what videos are doing well what videos get you the most subscribers what videos get you the most views get the most engagements and as they scroll down they'll also tell you what videos didn't do so well and what videos did so well and compare them against competitors if you have them connected if you want to learn how to use this tool fully i've done a video on this once again in the icard of exactly how to know what videos to do and how this channel audit tool works but overall it's there to tell you hi have a look at these avoid these this topic did really well but what you need to do is understand what this is truly telling you and that is if you want more subscribers make that type of video if you want more views make that type of video the reason why that's important is that you could make one video but that one video can't do 20 things one video needs to have one specific action that video needs to have had a certain goal is that video there to make you money then the end of that video it pushes to a call to action that goes to a course or to sell you something you don't want to dilute that by going oh go and click on that course and subscribe and like and share and check out them you've lost the message it's confused people cause go and click the link below you can go and check out my course at skillshare clean crisp direct so you need to understand that that one video could be made and it could be a completely different video i know that if i talk about gaining subscribers that grows my channel if i talk about money it may get less views but it makes me more money so you need to understand the purpose of that video so you don't overload it and you don't confuse people because after all if you're asking people to pick from five things it might confuse them and they might not pick anything netflix theory how many times do you flick through netflix oh i could watch that i'll say whatever what i could watch that oh what's that i could watch that and then 40 minutes of your time is spent flicking through and now you've run out of time and five double down now that you've been loaded with this wonderful information from the vidiq channel audit tool and you understand what your channel is currently doing have a look at what truly worked what is the things that people are coming back to what are the things that are engaging people is it every time you talk about a specific topic you rile up some people and they can't they just have to comment there they are raging is it a motive is it every time you talk about yourself or is it every time you talk about something else that people pile in those are the videos that you need to make you don't need to make the ones that people don't give a crap about that's why on this channel i seem to double down on specific tutorials i lean in certain directions why because either they help a wider audience or they have a very specific need and they get found in search but when it comes to the crypto channel it may be it's when i talk about a specific project maybe when i'm talking about ada or polygon or ethereum maybe it's when i'm talking about a specific type of video maybe it's my top fives maybe it's the breaking news when you realize what videos give you the biggest boost lean into those to help grow your channel you don't have to do them for forever right just if you grow large enough that the audience is then engaged then you can do whatever you wish with that audience i must admit now that that channel's got nearly 6 000 subscribers anytime that i engage with them in the community tab i can push them wherever i want so i can push them to specific videos that i like even if those videos previously were the ones that underperformed but i feel deserved a little bit more attention i can help push them in that way why because they are engaged with the content that i've made for them as some kind of honey trap to bring them in the community tab is something that we will touch upon in our next video by the way is very powerful and a very good tool to push you towards monetization so make sure that you subscribe so you don't miss that video that comes out in the next week or so but six understand your audience once you've doubled down and you understand what works right if the channel is growing you might lose contact with some of your audience you need to understand maybe they like being taught things or maybe they're experts they don't want to be taught things they just want to hear the fundamentals if you don't understand what your audience is wanting from you you'll be delivering the wrong kind of content over and over again and either that attracts the wrong audience or it doesn't attract anyone at all i learned that myself from this channel this channel that we're talking on right now the instant that i stopped doing tutorials as aggressively and started being more human more honest and started talking about me and my struggles and telling you the story of how i did things you engaged with me so much more i now understand that you want to learn from me you don't want to learn from textbooks and you want to understand my story whilst going through it and that's how you grow a committed audience to over a thousand subscribers you are gonna run out of video ideas very quickly but you can make your own video ideas using these tips every monday morning i wake up i walk to work and i'm fully aware that i need to bulk record some videos i upload two to three videos a week i've uploaded seven 800 videos tutorials to this youtube channel and over the last eight years maybe three thousand across a few brands either for myself or for clients that kind of thing you would think after 3 000 videos i'd run out of things to talk about that's why today i'm going to be talking about the vid iq daily video idea tool how it can help you how it can

good news for youtubers brilliant go make that video are you struggling to record your content don't worry i've got a little special hack that can help you i upload three videos a week every week and have done on and off for nearly four years through christmas through sickness through travel through holiday periods i was having a full-time job whilst consulting whilst having a newborn at home what's got a five-year-old that i need to take to school was moving house whilst moving into an office well setting up a new set which isn't 100 done yet does this look okay feel free to give me tips on lighting down below and the way that i consistently was able to move house and still upload without fail every tuesday and thursday or right now the new upload schedule every monday wednesday friday is by bulk recording this is my secret weapon and has been for years i've been creating content online not just for me but many other youtube channels over the last three four years my face was even teaching music tutorials on another channel elsewhere i was video editing for my editing clients why because obviously i need to make money to pay for the bills and youtube videos from day one doesn't always pay so how was i able to keep up three videos each and every week without missing a video and still do all of these other things i'm able to bulk record one month's worth of content pretty much in one day set up your equipment and make the most out of it it takes me a while to set up my youtube equipment even in my new office but in the long run i plan for it to just be a click turn on power click turn on camera and go but even still at the moment takes about five ten minutes for me to set up my equipment line up the camera turn on the lights sort out my microphone that's five ten minutes that if i was to then record a five minute video and put it down again it's taking more time to set up my equipment and put it down than it is to actually make my content and i'm sure all of us are able to block out an hour maybe if you're lucky two hours worth of time that you could cram some work into so why not set up the camera once and take down the camera once and record as much as you can in the middle period as you can that way you don't have to set up the camera three or four times to make three or four videos over three or four days wasting say three times 10 minutes half hour rather than just setting up once for 10 minutes and then recording a load of content try and plan ahead of time what you're going to talk about i'm very lucky i have a format on my channel where i have tutorials on a monday and a wednesday and then these videos slightly more personal or master classy on a friday what that means is my tutorials can be bulk recorded very very easily if you'll notice i have a specific style since the start of the new year i have a start and i have an end and then i sandwich the screenshot tutorials in the middle this way i'm able to create fast content my tutorials pretty much in one sitting i upload two tutorials a week there's roughly four weeks in a month in which then i need eight videos if i can sit down and turn on a camera and beep

videos b hello today i'm going to talk to you about click-through rates and then i record the end of it and if you need more information on click-through rates go here if you want to download other youtube videos click here i've now got the start and i've got the end and i've got the content in the middle that i can screen record when i get a chance now i understand that that's very unique to me but there could be some content that you can make bite-sized game tutorials speed drawing these are micro contents that you can create if you're a musician and you want to upload songs obviously they're going to take forever you could record that song but whilst you're recording that song you can teach people the chords you can show people how you play them you talk about your feelings about that song how you wrote that song or what it means to you to be covering that song and now you have the song when you upload it you have you teaching me the chords of that song and now you have a video telling me the emotions that you feel behind the song you've got three videos or sitting down to record one alternatively maybe you only get one chance maybe you only get a chance to sit down and do a massive live stream now you'll notice i've done this in the past i'll have done an interview with say ed or simon in which they sit down and they talk to me and they interview me about my life and they interview me about the random features and functionalities of youtube that's a 50 minute or an hour long interview with very specific questions for me and my niche i'm then able to rip that apart into not only the hour long but also the individual questions so if i've talked about the top 10 frequently asked questions to say simon i can make those 10 questions into 10 mini clips that ta-da is bulk recording if i then bulk edit them i can then schedule them out scheduling now that you've done your bulk recording i advise that you bulk edit and you upload and if you can do the thumbnails and scheduling ahead of time it's not always perfect but when i went on paternity leave this was an absolute lifesaver you've got to think that i was building up to the the birth of my son at the start of december i was aware that this was coming but i was also aware that i was going to take some time off possibly in january i was able to get all the videos in from my collaborative partners but i could have done this in theory myself in any other time like i did when i moved house i record the content in advance i block out one hour's worth of time on a saturday or whatever i understand that i need eight videos for the month so i record four or five in that one hour and then the following week i do four or five again that's eight to ten videos so that's me recording a month's worth of content in just two hours or pretty much in one day if you're able to cram that in to one day and now you can schedule it out in advance and it will auto publish in itself if you need help on how to schedule there there's a video somewhere here up in the icard now the mental effects of this happens to be this i know that if i've got videos in the can that i don't stress as much you as a creator may know this yourself there's nothing more stressful than i need a video up in two hours and i've not recorded anything which is possibly going to be crappy and then i need to edit it which no doubt you'll probably cut corners on it and then i need to upload it entirely which you'll probably not do the keyword research on properly but if you bulk recorded five videos knowing that two of them go live next week then you can do a bit of research and hard work on those two and then you've got the rest of the week to set up the next two and the next two but you've already recorded five and if you're recording five quite leisurely on a saturday then you're already ahead of yourself me right now if i'm honest i've got about 15 20 videos that needs to be edited on my laptop that are all tutorials that could carry me into early spring should i need to edit those upload those schedule those out and i don't know go on a round the world tour because everyone's traveling right now then i can do so and i can do so easily and best of all for me when it came to paternity i knew that i had three four weeks worth of videos ups so i didn't have to worry and panic about it i didn't have to stress that something needed to be done and that gives you a much more relaxing creative mindset to catch up on the content that you may be missing or that you may need to create by the time you get back it also gives me a lot of time to go out and dedicate my time to blogging or hunting down affiliates to boost my income and once they're up there once you build yourself into a pattern which are able to schedule your content on a regular basis you'll be amazed how quickly your income can snowball now you've got your content you've got your subscribers now you need to start titling it properly one single click it chooses the title for me based on keyword research and just generally clickability it makes my life instantly easier a hidden trick within youtube that everyone can use even for free do you struggle with titles on youtube do you have the idea a keyword that you want to target but you're not quite sure how to phrase the title of the video to hook people in meanwhile you look at everybody else and they seem to immediately nail it with something emotional and perfect imagine you could click one thing and all of a sudden you had a load of suggestions this right here is the vid iq title suggestion tool it's a little bit different than the idea tool that we talked about previously link in the description down below this way you upload a video you've got a rough idea what your keyword happens to be you type in a title and then you click suggestions and it will make it better maybe it turns a how-to video into something more emotionally appealing maybe you only have one word which is fortnight and a specific dlc you can click it and it will generate something more clickable really i've been using this tool for the last couple of months and i'll be honest it makes my life so much easier i've been uploading shorts daily at the moment and i needed something to help me jump off that kind of cliff when it comes to titles because if you're thinking of uh close to 35 titles a month you're gonna burn out pretty quickly but this title tool is amazing to use it you simply install the vidiq app there's a link in the description down below if you go to vidiq.com allenspicer you download it you add it to your browser or you can put it on a mobile phone as well once you install it into your browser you go to the video that you're looking to title you click edit and then here you go you'll see a little button here that generates a title suggestion for you now if you're not too okay with the first five not a problem just keep hitting the refresh and they keep giving you more and more titles in fact maybe you want to a b test them in the long run this is a way to get three or four totals that you could rotate over the next week or so to see which one gets the best click rate at the end of the day this takes the guesswork out of titles in general that makes with my formula for making clickable youtube titles it's rocket fuel continue over
