31 Days of YouTube Optimization Tips. Day 1
Optimize First – Thrive on YouTube: Your Roadmap to Success
As a YouTube mentor and strategist I have been helping content creators master the art of YouTube optimization, monetization along with how to best strategize their content. I’ll be sharing about that over the next 31 posts in short tips for you to get started.
Unlock YouTube’s Potential:
Did you know YouTube is the second-largest search engine in the world, right behind Google (its parent company)? That’s a massive audience waiting to discover your content! While the opportunity to earn income through YouTube is exciting, mastering optimization is the key to unlocking its true potential and thriving on the platform.
YouTube Tip of the Day: Craft compelling titles that grab viewers’ attention and accurately reflect your video’s content.
Best Practice: Crafting Captivating Titles
The title is one of your video’s first impressions. It’s like a catchy headline that draws viewers in. Here’s a simple formula to create click-worthy titles:
- Start with a benefit: What value will viewers gain from watching? (e.g., “Learn 3 Easy Guitar Hacks in 5 Minutes!”)
- Use keywords: Include relevant keywords people might search for. We’ll discuss keywords in detail during the next 30 days! (See what Fran uses for best keyword selection below).
- Keep it concise and clear: Aim for under 60 characters.
- Evoke curiosity: Spark interest with a question or surprising statement. (e.g., “Is This the SECRET to Faster Guitar Playing?”)
Remember: Great titles are informative, intriguing, and optimized for search.
Key Takeaways:
- Titles are one of your video’s first impressions, so make them count!
- Use a clear benefit to grab viewers’ attention.
- Include relevant keywords for search optimization (more on this coming soon!).
- Keep it concise and pique curiosity.
