right so you can see so i'm gonna uh now show you how you can do the same for your channel so you can eventually start getting views right down to your videos so that way your channel can actually grow and also at the other end depending on what goal that you actually want to meet if it's your watch time hours you know get lots of watch time hours or you're actually looking to earn money from

let's say uh crypto trading for example online crypto trading so i'm gonna click on this right it's gonna bring lots of videos right on the search result and you're gonna see lots of videos as well so these guys are actually ranking here they're actually ranking because of lots of of of key metrics that they've actually implemented on their videos that's important and valuable techniques and strategy that they've actually implemented on their video which is actually get them to actually get to the point where people can actually find their videos so i'm gonna explain every everything that you need to know because obviously for every for every keyword that you actually search you're gonna find someone ranking for for that video example of engaging content that people might actually be interested in is tutorial or how-to videos explainer videos lifehack videos challenge videos comedy videos product review videos and more but for you to actually go viral on youtube it actually comes down to some certain factors which includes to use a catchy video title and make sure your title matches your content and as this course progresses i'm still gonna show you exactly how to create a catchy video title that's actually gonna get you thumbs up views the second step to making sure your video goes viral on youtube is to create custom thumbnails and on my screen you guys can see that this thumbnail is actually catchy and lots of viewers who are actually interested in bitcoin they're actually gonna click on this video because of the thumbnails and thumbnail is actually one of the first thing that your viewers are going to see so if you actually have a catchy thumbnail then you're actually gonna get lots of views and your video is actually gonna go viral and as this course progresses i'm still gonna show you how you can create your own thumbnails for your own youtube videos as well the third step to making sure your video goes viral on youtube is to book your audience and you have anywhere from five seconds to ten seconds to book your audience and make sure they actually stay and watch your videos on youtube for a longer period of time and this is very very good because once you realize that people are actually watching your videos for a very longer duration youtube is now going to start promoting your video because our youtube workers youtube actually makes money from ads that they actually run on on on youtube so the more the people that actually stay on on your channel the more ads they actually get to show to them and the more money youtube gets to make and in return youtube is actually going to promote your content and they make money so you want to make sure you actually book your audience and make sure they actually stay on your channel for as long as they can so if you have a 15 minute video and people are actually watching for 10 11 minutes that's actually very good but if you have if you have a 15 minute video and people are actually watching for just one minute 30 seconds or 30 seconds or 25 seconds youtube is actually going to notice all those and they actually going to rank your video if your video is actually ranking maybe the first position second position on youtube search then you're gradually going to see that that video is actually going to drop its position and they're actually going to push it down when one is actually going to find it so you want to make sure you actually put a hook on your video something that's going to make your audience to actually watch for a longer period of time the fourth step to making sure your videos go viral on youtube is to literally share your videos on social media platforms like other social media platforms and in return you start to get tons of views down to your youtube videos and another effective way is to actually go viral is to host giveaways on your youtube channel on your youtube videos you can tell your viewers to actually subscribe to your channel to watch your videos and also to share your videos in order for them to actually win the giveaway and the giveaway could be either cash it could be a free course it could be a so the fourth topic is literally youtube seo so what seo simply means is search engine optimization and youtube seo is simply making sure your videos shows up in search results for example if you literally come to youtube search bar and put in how to make money online just click on anyone here how to make money online you're not going to see that there are lots of hearts here you start to see hearts on on the first search result right here but that's not the main reason here and if you actually scroll down here you are going to see that there are lots of people ranking for this keyword how to make money online so if i literally put in the system or anyone looking to make money online literally put in the system how to make money online you're going to see lots of videos right here and as long as your videos are actually ranking here you're going to start getting views straight to your videos and that's one of the best efforts that you can actually do is youtube seo optimize your videos so they literally shows up on youtube search result and that way you don't even have to promote your videos anymore and you're going to get more views you're going to get more subscribers you're going to get more comments on your videos and your channel gets to grow as well and in this video i'm going to show you exactly how you can optimize your video you can get on i can get seen right here on youtube search result and for you to literally optimize your videos on youtube it actually comes down to using two tools so you can use either one of these two and the first one here is called feed iq and you can see right here literally says designed to boost your youtube views and this is one out of these two and lots of youtubers are actually using either one of these or the other one i'm going to show you now so all you need to do is just put in tubebody.com slash the wave and click on enter right there and it's going to actually take you to tubebody.com so it's going to take you to this page here where you get to see tubebody and you get to see this writing here which says your best friend on the road to youtube success so these two either one of these two is actually going to help you to actually optimize your videos and make you to get viral to get seen to actually get your videos more views and lots of youtubers including myself are actually using any one of these two right here so you can use this one as well they actually do almost the same functions but i actually prefer the beta iq because it's actually easier for me and most people prefer tubebody because it's also easier for them to use and here you can see it says your best friend on the road to youtube success so for you to literally use this tool here they also have a free chrome extension that you can literally install right here which is free and all you need to do is just click on sign in here that if you want to sign up on tubebody here just click on sign in and it's going to literally take you to a page where you get to actually sign in with your gmail account or with your google account so for you to actually sign in here you need to just click on here which says i have i've read and agree to the privacy policy i've read and agree to the terms of use and click on sign in with google so that way you get to sign in using google right here so i'm not going to go back to the other two here this one is vidiq and here it says it's designed to boost your youtube views get free insights and guidance to keep your youtube channel going so youtubers literally use these tools use either of these two this one here or this one to literally grow their youtube channel and i'm not going to show you exactly how you can get this tool for literally free how you can use it for free and grow your youtube channel where you get to the point where you get to get more views more subscribers and your channel gets to literally grow as well just signing into your vidiq pro account that's when you actually get the free version of vidiq all you just need to do is just come right here where it actually says key words just click on keywords right there and after clicking on keywords you're going to now see all these stops on your screen and you can see a lot of search volume right here you can see some keyword here and you can see the search volume and this tool is very very good because it actually gives you in-depth insights to actually know the the search volume of a specific keyword and that we get to know if the competition for that keyword is literally low or if it's actually high so i'm still going to show you exactly how everything is done and in this part of this video so before you actually start creating videos it's advisable you have to come to a tool like this vidiq or tubebody to actually make sure you do your keyword research very very well and you make sure that whatever keyword that you're actually trying to rank or whatever title you're actually trying to use for your video actually has lots of search volume so the best way to actually do this to come to the keyword here and put in this search keyword so for example if i want to create videos around how to get free amazon gift card i need to actually check if people are actually searching for this keyword so afterwards all you need to do is just click on enter and you're not going to see this icon here if it literally shows you green it means the keyword is it's it's above average and it's actually a good and if i click on that button there and here you can literally see that how to get free amazon gift cards competition is literally very low which is actually very very good and the best type of keywords that you can target are the ones that actually have the very low that the very low competition like this one here very low very low you can see the search volume right here this one has 146,836 as free amazon gift card code this is actually a very good keyword right here but in a situation when you actually search for a keyword and you actually see that the competition is high you can see right here it's actually telling you that it's high so you can never rank for this keyword because that's if you actually just create a new youtube channel you're never going to rank for this keyword because the competition is very very high so you don't you want to make sure you actually stay and avoid keywords like this because they're actually going to not make your videos rank because there are other youtubers that are ranking for that keyword youtubers with millions of views millions of subscribers so there's no way your channel is going to get seen or your video is going to get seen so you also want to make sure you actually avoid this one here if you actually see the one with yellowish sign here that's another good one it means the competition is also strict and stiff and the best type of keyword that you can target is this one here that has literally green here you can see i actually prefer to go from anywhere from 66 69 70 67 as well all these ones with green they actually tell you that it's actually a very good keyword and you can definitely rank for it another example if you literally put in it's not going to show you all these thoughts right here and you can see here it actually says it's showing you the yellow sign here that the competition here is actually medium and this is actually not a very good keyword for you to literally rank for because there are lots of people that actually put in videos around this topic and you can see the only one here that's actually green is actually this one here it says free tiktok followers and you can see that the competition here is low and that's the only keyword and you can see the rest are actually yellow yellow and you can see you can see right here so you know make sure you actually avoid this keyword because you're not going to rank in the long run you're not going to actually rank for this keyword so if i actually did not know this type of tool right if i don't use this type of tool i would have created videos around free tiktok or how to grow on tiktok and i'm going to now see that the video is actually not going to get any views because people actually other youtubers are ranking for this keyword here so you want to make sure your keyword research is very very important and that's one of the things that's actually going to make you go viral on youtube that's when your keywords you actually target keywords that the conditions are literally very low so another example of keyword research right here is how to cook rice and you can see here that the competition is obviously high and there's no way you're going to rank for this keyword and you can see everything is literally very very high so keywords like this they're actually not going to get you views so make sure you actually avoid keywords like this and the reason i'm actually explaining this to you guys is once you actually know youtube seo once you know how to use keywords to your advantage you're literally going to go viral there's no two ways that you know that the competition is very low and the search volume is literally very high and that's why i'm actually taking my time here to actually show you this because when i first started out i didn't know anything about youtube seo my first video actually didn't get a lot of views so later on i went to actually discover youtube seo and that way i started getting thousands of views on my videos so now i'm actually passing on the same formula to you guys so you guys get to see that this is actually very important for you to actually get more views you should get you more subscribers and also your channel is actually going to grow as well and this is one of the videos that i actually created in the past how to link paypal to paypal so i'm not going to show you exactly with this video i'm going to show you how you can literally rank this video on youtube and get more and if i come to the keyword search bar here and put in this keyword how to link paypal to paypal you can see that the overall score is 69 which means this keyword is literally good and i can now create videos about this but already i've already done my keyword research before before i actually come right here to actually show you guys this and now i'm just because i know these keywords actually has competition and you can see the competition here is very low and these are the types of keywords that you actually want to be targeting because you don't have to actually stress yourself much after getting all these keywords because they're actually going to be the one to literally get you lots of views so your video has to be very very good one and if you actually have a very good keyword that's two and you also need a thumbnail a catchy thumbnail that people will actually see and you can see right here everything is literally very low and this is actually a perfect good keyword for you that you can actually use on your youtube video so what you need to now actually do is to now click on this one here click on anyone that you feel has lots of search volume with very low competition the next step is now go to your youtube channel and upload your videos so all you just need to do is just go down here and click on the upload video but first it's very important to actually install the vidIQ chrome extension on your browser so how do you do this you go to chrome right here and you can put in vidIQ chrome extension here on on your browser and click on here which is vidIQ vision for youtube and click on it and it's going to take you to the chrome web store where you get to actually where you get to actually add to your chrome browser and you can see right here this vidIQ vision for youtube so just literally click on add to chrome as if you actually on the chrome web store click on add to chrome and it's actually going to install to your browser and here you can so now we have the vidIQ installed on our browser so for you to actually access this too just click on this extension right here you can see vidIQ vision for youtube then you click on this icon here that's the pin icon to actually bring it out and you can see here this is our vidIQ so what you literally need to do is to now go to your youtube channel so make sure you open up the new tab so this our vidIQ extension literally appears on your new youtube tab right here that and after installing the vidIQ on your chrome browser you need to sign up basically i forgot to tell you that part but you need to literally sign up with google so you can literally use it on your youtube channel it's actually going to appear outside by the side of youtube so you get to actually see some features that's going to actually help you to optimize your videos so make sure you actually sign up and after signing up everything will literally be fixed then you and you can literally click on the icon here to actually sign in on your browser to actually sign in here that after signing up so you can only try to log in here so everything gets to actually get seen on your youtube channel basically so that way you can now go to youtube studio and i'm not going to show you exactly how you can optimize properly optimize your videos to get seen on search results and you can see after installing you're going to see something like this success so after you must have signed up you're now going to see all this here this is your watch time hours here and because it's a brand new channel you can see it's zero this is last views in 60 minutes this zero right here and last minute 48 hours is actually zero and you can see everything here is zero so because it's actually a new channel and you can also click here on this icon here that's if you want to see the ideas of competitors trend alerts most views but these actually what you know what you want to actually use this tool for so we just want it here to show us our stats here basically so we can still track some some details about our channel so the next step is to now upload a video now so i'm now going to give you i'm not going to show you a video i'm going to upload a video rather on this channel i'm going to upload a video and optimize that video so you guys get to actually see how you can optimize videos to actually get seen on youtube search so the next step is to literally click on here you can upload videos using this icon here which is literally create so once you click on create you're actually going to see upload video so if you want to actually go live you can go live where you get to actually stream your videos live and people get to actually watch your videos mostly your subscribers and so we're just going to click on upload video here click on upload video basically and that way you'll be able to upload videos to this channel so the next step is to literally select files here click on select files on youtube and you can see here it actually says upload complete processing will begin shortly and you can see here it says actionable seo score that's zero out of 50 and this is why vidiq 2 is very important for you to actually see your seo score for that video so i'm just going to pause this video till everything process so after processing it's actually going to say check in so you actually need to wait for them to literally check your videos this checks complete no issues found so if there's actually any issues found in your video they're actually going to tell you so afterwards the next step is to now come to your title and in topic 3 chapter 3 i said i'm going to now show you how to create a catchy title so this is just creating a title and how to create a catchy title is to basically know a video title that actually goes viral you need to actually add this keyword to your title on youtube you need to add it to your title here your video title on youtube which is very very important because i've actually done my keyword research and i know that people looking for how to link perennial accounts to paypal they actually have lots of lots of search results you need to actually make sure your keywords is actually in your video title which is very very good because you must have done your keyword research and you must have known that how to link to paypal actually has lots of search volume and you can see right here is having 1481 people are searching for this keyword every single month paypal to paypal you can see right here 3253 persons are searching for this paypal to paypal transfer link paypal to paypal now 1946 people are actually searching for this so after getting your your keywords right then you want to make sure you put it in your title which is this one here so i'm just going to eliminate this one so i'm just going to eliminate this which is how to link perennial to paypal so the next step is your description so for you to actually make sure your video gets optimized where it gets the point where it actually gets in on youtube search results you need to actually make sure your video description is actually well written so you need to tell your viewers or your audience what this video is all about so i'm just going to write a very little description here just to actually tell viewers what this video is all about so the best way to actually write a video a good video description is to actually put in your keywords that your title keyword first then later you explain what your video is all about so you can write on up to 150 words here or up to 100 words i'm going to make sure that you're actually using these keywords to actually build on the description anything that you're going to write here you need to actually make it 150 and perennial and paypal needs to be formed like you need to create all those words to be around these two right here and that gives you a lot of edge to actually optimizing your video strategy gets in on youtube search results so the next step is your tags very very important never play with this this is actually very very important so yeah so the next step is to add in tags to your video so how do you add tags to your video you want to go back to vidiq you want to go back to vidiq and click on here click on as much as you can and make sure you're actually checking the competition that they actually the keyword you're actually selecting here a keyword that has very low competition with huge number of search and actually related to your video so here is link paypal to perennial click on it here's how to link paypal to perennial click it's actually very low how to link perennial to paypal good how to link perennial link perennial to paypal and you can see the search volume here they're actually huge then click on copy this one here as well then scroll down till you actually have all of them click on link paypal with perennial click on this one here click on as much as you can and afterwards you're going to see a button below where you get to actually copy those tags and after copying those tags you need to now go back to your youtube channel here and paste the tags right here and you're going to see the tags and you can see our actionable seo score has just increased from zero to 44.3 meaning that these tags are actually helpful and they're actually going to help our videos to actually get seen so it's actually best if your video can get actionable seo of up to 40 40 and above where you actually say it's going but make sure you actually try to make it 50 and for me to actually make it 50 you need to make sure your tags you put in good tags right here put in more tags here that you know people might actually be searching for actually relating to your videos and you want to make sure that your description is well written as well so the next step is to upload your thumbnails very very important because this also plays an integral role and like i said in topic 3 your thumbnails is the first thing that your audience we're actually going to see new viewers or new audience we're actually going to see so so actually use canva to design these to actually create these thumbnails here it's very very easy all you need to do is just go to canva home page here and and also look for youtube thumbnails you're going to see youtube thumbnails so you can use the search bar here to actually look for youtube thumbnails and that way you get creative to actually create your own thumb so after designing your thumbnails you now need to actually download this thumbnail then install the top and upload the thumbnail rather so make sure you download the thumbnails click on download so next step is to make sure you rename the thumbnail that you actually downloaded on canva so make sure you rename it and use the keywords that you're actually trying to rank into to rank for so we are actually trying to rank for so you need to actually rename the the thumbnail that you actually download from canva here it's very very important it also has its own huge rule to play to make sure you actually rename the thumbnail that you actually download from Canva here. It's very, very important. It also has its own huge role to play to make sure your video also gets seen on YouTube search. So make sure you rename it and use the keywords that you're actually trying to rank for. So you need to actually rename the thumbnail that you actually download from Canva here. It's very, very important. It also has its own huge role to play. So you need to actually rename the thumbnail that you actually download from Canva here. It's very, very important. It also has its own huge role to play to make sure your video also gets seen on YouTube search. The next step is to go back to YouTube, click on upload thumbnails right here. So you need to literally upload your thumbnails. So for you to literally upload your thumbnails, you need to verify your account right here. So all you need to do is just click on the verify button here. Here it actually says your phone number is now verified. Now we can now go here to actually upload our thumbnails. So the next step is to click on this icon here and you can see it says you're all set. Then click on here and click on it once more. So now you can now upload your thumbnails. So now these are thumbnails and they actually fall secret to this for you to actually make your videos targeting more views. And those views actually relate into subscribers because most people are actually going to subscribe to your once your video is actually good, once your video is actually engaging and once your video actually now start getting views, your watch time hours is now going to start increasing. So they actually fall secret. The first secret is getting your title right. Once you get your title right, you know that people are actually searching for you. That's good. Then your description, you make sure your description is well optimized. And this is actually too short, but you can make your own a little bit longer. At least 5200 words talking about the content that you actually create your video on. Then the third one is your thumbnails. Very, very important. Don't joke with this. This will actually get you tons of views and make sure that you're actually getting more views on a daily basis. And that's very, very important. Your little thumbnails. So the fourth one basically is your tags. This is very, very important and essential. This tag you guys are actually seeing here, please maximum. And when you guys actually saw that I dropped this tag here, the actionable SEO score actually increases. That's just to show you that the tag here is very, very important. And with a tool like vidIQ, you can get to actually use it to your advantage. So the next step is to literally click on nest. Then the next step is to click on nest. And you can actually click on nest as well. So because it's actually a new YouTube channel, it's going to actually be set to private. So you want to make sure you click on public here so people can literally get to see your video. So the next step is to now click on publish video. Click on publish here to actually publish this video. So now this video is actually now going to be live. Now our video has now been published. So the next thing you need to do, this is another secret I'm spilling out here on this video. Once you actually create your videos that you know people are actually searching for those keywords, what you should immediately do is to copy your link or you can share it immediately to WhatsApp. Share it to your friends. It could be your family members. It could be your brothers, your sisters. Make them to watch the video for as long as you want them to. Just tell them to watch for, if your video is around five minutes long, tell them to watch for the whole five minutes. And you can also share your videos to Facebook. You can share it to Twitter. You can share it on WhatsApp. Make sure you actually get lots of views on the video for the first few hours. This is very, very important. And once YouTube see that you're actually getting views on those videos, YouTube will now start pushing those videos for you, which is very, very paramount to you. Because like I said, in chapter three, the more people watch your videos, the more people, the more YouTube is going to promote your videos rather. So that's just how it works. Make sure you share your, make sure people are actually watching your videos. And after clicking on that, you can, because I don't want this video to actually get seen. So I'm not going to put it to private. I'm just going to click on here, then click on private here, then click on save because this video is meant for another channel and it's actually not meant for this channel. And obviously it's actually not good, but I'm just using this to show you guys how you can optimize, how you can upload. And the next step after getting your videos is to literally share your videos and make sure people watch your videos for a longer period of time. So now we're not going to move on to the next step. Another good YouTube SEO practice is for you to now upload videos, be consistent for as long as you started uploading videos on your channel, be consistent, upload videos every day, because this is obviously a new channel and you don't expect it to literally boom overnight. It doesn't work that way on YouTube. YouTube wants you to literally make some efforts. When they see that you are now consistent, that your channel is now creating more videos, then they're now going to start literally supporting your channel bit by bit. So that's why it's actually important that you stay consistent. If you upload videos today, make sure you upload videos tomorrow, and at least you can just give it a space of maybe two days, or at least just make sure you upload videos consistently. That's literally better. And one thing you want to do, and that I see a lot of people do make this mistake, is once you start creating your videos, because this is a new YouTube channel, you want to make sure you avoid putting links on your description. It's very, very important that you avoid putting links on your description. So I'm just going to show you what I actually mean. So I'm going to click on this video here to bring out the details. So this is a video right here. This is the description. Most people put affiliate links on their video description. That's for new YouTubers, basically. That's what I'm talking about. For people that are just starting out, maybe just creating a new YouTube channel and you uploaded your first video. So you want to make sure you avoid putting links on your video description. It's very, very important. And because once YouTube are actually seeing links in your video description, it means you want to actually take people out of YouTube. So you want to make sure you actually avoid putting links at the first five videos because you're actually new to the old YouTube stuff. So you want to make sure for a video to perform really, really well, do not put links on your description for at least for the first five videos. Get YouTube to trust you. And once YouTube see that you're actually consistent and you are not here to actually spam or to actually get people out of YouTube, then literally you can now start adding affiliate links gradually. You can now start adding links to SNL website gradually on your videos. But once you're actually starting out, just like this channel is brand new, you don't need to put links here for the first five videos. Make sure you don't put links on your YouTube videos. And you're going to see that this video is now going to start getting views. As you can see right there, it says adding subtitles to your YouTube videos can positively impact your search ranking. So you want to make sure you add subtitles to your videos, that is your YouTube videos, make sure to add subtitles on those videos because it says adding subtitles to those videos can positively impact your search ranking by helping YouTube understand your content better, making it more accessible and potentially increasing watch time and engagement because people tend to watch videos that has subtitles more because people are going to watch those videos, they're going to read through those subtitles, they're going to follow up those videos and they're going to engage with those type of videos. So you want to make sure you add subtitles to your YouTube videos. And these are actually the benefits that comes with adding subtitles to those videos. As you can see, it says here's how subtitles can improve your YouTube SEO. It says enhance accessibility, which is number one. It says subtitles make your videos accessible to a wider audience, including those who are deaf or hard of hearing or those watching in noisy environments. The second benefit is improved viewer retention. It says even if they can't hear the audio, potentially leading to longer watch times and increased engagement because that way they're going to follow up those videos, they're going to read the subtitles as well. People tend to watch more videos that has subtitles. And the third one is beneficial, which is SEO. It says YouTube's algorithm can index the text in your subtitles, allowing it to better understand the context of your video and match it with relevant search queries, which is actually great because YouTube is going to actually help you. The algorithm is going to index the text in your subtitles. So when people are actually searching for content relating to those videos, your videos has the potential of showing up, which actually makes sense. And it says broader reach, which is also another benefit for adding subtitles to your videos is by making your videos more accessible. Subtitles can help you reach a wider audience, potentially leading to more views and higher search rankings. So as you can see right now, it's very beneficial to actually add subtitles to your YouTube videos. It's not just going to help viewers understand your videos, it's going to keep them on your videos for as long as you want them to because they're going to be watching those videos for a long time, which is actually going to help you to increase the retention rate of those videos, which will help you rank your videos on YouTube and actually send a positive message to YouTube algorithm that your video is good to be on the top spot on YouTube search. So it's actually a very powerful technique. So you need to start implementing adding subtitles to your YouTube videos and eventually it's going to take time and you're going to start to see results over time. And yet it is in some way by providing subtitles and giving YouTube more information about your videos content, which can lead to better search rankings and increased visibility, which is very paramount at this point, which is very important, very vital, very crucial. So you need to add subtitles to those videos, so the videos can actually, I think the benefits listed here, so that way it's going to help your videos stand out, which will actually greatly impact your YouTube channel as well. You're going to grow, you're going to get more watch time hours, more subscribers and actually make sense because that's what everyone actually wants right now on YouTube, for videos to get seen, to get more engagements, to get retention and everything. So yeah, that's a very powerful strategy that you can actually implement on your YouTube channel.
