Top YouTube Tips for 2018

Tom Martin of FAQTube’s tips on Keyword Research

1) Don’t use clickbait tags. If it’s misleading, don’t do it.  If YouTube ranks you for a misleading keyword and people click on your video and find that it’s not what they want, that’s going to affect you.

2) Use VIDIQ for keyword research.

3) Once sentence value proposition. Really know why are you making content, who are you making it for, what is the value you provide. Say what your channel is about in one sentence, like “Helping professional coaches reach their target audience with online video.”

Rob Sandie of VidIQ on Increasing Views and Closing Statements

4) Quality + Optimization = VIEWS. You can’t just have one – both should go together.

5) Have a closing statement, like “See you in the next video.” If you don’t your viewer will just click away.

7) Ask your audience to watch another video at the end of your video. I guess this is the same as #5. Do this instead of asking people to click subscribe in end screens.
