3- HOW I USE TUBEBUDDY KEYWORD RESEARCH FOR YOUTUBE

Here is how:

So, first, I will think about the video I want to film. 

Then, I will write down a couple of video title ideas.

To make sure what I wrote will help me rank on YouTube, I open the TubeBuddy Browser extension and go directly into Keyword Explorer to start my research.

 

Keyword Research

From there, I start tapping my potential title.

On this image, TubeBuddy keyword explorer is telling me that this keyword won’t work out for me.

Why? Because despite the excellent Search volume for this specific keyword, the competition is way too high! 

Therefore, my small YouTube Channel won’t make it.

In another word, I won’t rank for this keyword

SPECIFIC KEYWORD SEARCH

So, we already know that this keyword won’t make my video blow up!

Now, I will be more specific. 

I have to make sure my keyphrase is searchable but don’t have too much competition.

In this screenshot, you can see that the Keyword as an overall score “good”

So, being specific worked. 

Instead of going for a productive day in my life, I went for a productive day when working from home.

I could use this keyword but I want to go further, I need to find a keyword with an excellent score!

 

4- THE PERFECT KEYWORD RESEARCH

Here is how on Keyword Explorer

So, once you know you are going in the right direction using the keyword explorer.

You need to try out different titles.

I decided to be more specific, or at least I thought about what would people search for, in this particular topic

And I came up with “work from home and stay productive”

And, it worked.

 

The search volume and competition looks perfect.

I could go with an excellent score keyword if I used “work from home and stay productive in 2021” but the search volume is “fair”.

So, I will stick to the first one, and will write my video title using this keyword!

WHY SHOULD YOU START A YOUTUBE CHANNEL IN 2021

WHY SHOULD YOU START A YOUTUBE CHANNEL IN 2021

Why should you start a YouTube Channel in 2021? Because it’s time to get out there!

Sounds easy to say but harder to do, right?

I believe, if you are reading this, it’s because you are already thinking of starting a YouTube Channel but need to know the reasons why.

So, here is why you should start a YouTube Channel in 2021.

WHY SHOULD YOU START A YOUTUBE CHANNEL IN 2021

1- SAVE AND DOCUMENT YOUR LIFE

First thing first, what a better reason for starting a YouTube Channel that documenting your life and saving memories?

I remember when I started my YouTube Channel, I wanted to film and save my adventures at Walt Disney World.

But, I soon realized that I really loved to film and edit videos.

So, I decided to take my YouTube channel more seriously and start making more videos.

This is why now my channel is all about teaching others how to make unique and amazing content.

It’s amazing to rewatch my old videos and see how much I’ve grown.

2- SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE

So, you’ve been thinking of starting a YouTube Channel because you wish to share some of your knowledge.

But, you are wondering if what you want to share is worth it? Or if people already know those things?

There is a quote I love that says: ” No one is you, and that’s your superpower”

I love it because it’s true.

Not everyone knows what you know. You will always have something to teach and knowledge to share. 

What sounds basic to you is probably hard for someone else! 

So, having the possibility to make a video and share what you know with the world is a great reason why you should start a youtube channel in 2021.

3- BECAUSE IT'S FUN

You know that starting a YouTube Channel doesn’t cost a dime, right?

So, why don’t you start one just for fun?

There is nothing wrong with trying new things. If you love making videos and enjoy the editing process, then YouTube is the way to go.

If you are scared of being judge, please don’t! Do the things that make you happy!

4- MAKE EXTRA MONEY

So, I know what you are going to say.

Justine, making money on YouTube is hard, I can’t do it.

But, yes you can, everybody can. 

So, yes at first you won’t make any money.

However, if you are dedicated, have great content, and stay consistent, you will start making some EXTRA money.

Making money on YouTube shouldn’t be THE reason why you should start your YouTube channel (because otherwise, you’ll give up quickly), but it should be one of the reasons! 

WHAT I DO BEFORE PUBLISHING A YOUTUBE VIDEO

You are here because you want to know what I do before publishing a YouTube video. Having a YouTube channel and staying consistent with your videos is a full-time job.

So, it is important to know what you should do before publishing your videos!

Alright, take your notebook and your pen because I am about to reveal what I do before publishing a video on my YouTube Channel.

WHAT I DO BEFORE PUBLISHING A YOUTUBE VIDEO

1- BE AND STAY ORGANIZED BEFORE PUBLISHING A YOUTUBE VIDEO

So, before publishing a YouTube video, I take time to organize myself using the organization tool Trello.

Trello

If you don’t know what is Trello? You can read my last blog post called how to use Trello.

So, in my organization tool, I’m making lists of things to do before publishing and after publishing.

See example below:

Checklist

Inside this checklist, I write everything from finding a good title to my future video to create an Instagram post to promote after publishing.

Today, I am feeling generous! I wanted to share with you my before publishing a YouTube video checklist!

You will be able to download the PDF at the end of this blog post!

2- TITLE AND KEYWORD SEARCH

TubeBuddy

Did you know that the most important part of your video is the title and the keywords you are about to use to rank on YouTube search?

So, to double my chances of getting views. I am using the keyword Explorer provided by TUBEBUDDY.

3- A PRETTY THUMBNAIL

Yes, thumbnails needs to be pretty.

Think of your behavior when you are going to YouTube to look for something.

Did you notice that you always click on the thumbnail that looks good?

So, make sure your thumbnail is light, airy, colorful, and PRETTY!

Over

To edit my thumbnail, I am using the app called Over.

So, read how to make the perfect YouTube Thumbnail.

In this blog post, I am showing you how I create mine. This is a step by step tutorial.

4- DESCRIPTION AND TAGS

Description

I always write a description below my videos.

So, I would start by repeating the title and give more details about what people are about to learn watching my video.

Then, I will link every product or service I mentioned in the video.

You can also add your social media platforms, website, or links to other relevant videos.

Tags

Once I wrote my description, I will add some tags.

Tubebuddy helps me find the most relevant ones.

But first, I will make my title be a tag as well as the keywords I’m targeting.

5- CARDS AND END SCREEN

what i do before publishing a youtube video

Cards

What’s a card in a YouTube Video: Cards are interactive elements added to YouTube videos that can be used to promote videos, playlists, websites, merchandise, or channels.

I usually add 2 relevant videos and a playlist!

End Screen

What’s an end screen? An End Screen (also referred to as an “End Card” or “Endslate”) is a YouTube feature that appears in the last 5-20 seconds of a video. YouTubers can use their end screen to promote videos, playlists, merchandise, and external websites.

In my end screen, I like to add three relevant videos, to guide people into watching one of my other videos, and a subscribe button.

6- SUBTITLES

So, I started adding English subtitles to my videos (even so my videos are in English) for two reasons.

Reason number one

Not everyone can hear! So, I love the idea of my videos being enjoyable to everyone.

Reason number two

I’ve seen myself watching videos on YouTube recommended pages because people added subtitles into their Intro.

So, I believe subtitles can help people click on my video preview, if they like what they start reading.
