Okay, so let's talk about my process of when I upload a video what I do first thing I do is I, what am I, you know, I finished everything else I got my thumbnail the videos uploaded. Now I have to do these video SEO, I'll go into the YouTube search and I'll type in a phrase that similar the video I'm making. Let's say I'm making a Smurfs toys video, I'll open up three different browsers and in each one I'll type in the first one, I might say Smurf toys. And the second browser, I'll just put Smurfs, and in the third browser, I'll put like Smurfs toys review, so I have different search terms in each browser. Now within each of those browsers, I'm going to open up different tabs, I'm going to do that by I'm going to I'm going to organize the videos that came up by most viewed okay, but if you do that, you'll see here in the results, you know, there's a lot of results that come up.

Now I'm going to narrow it down to, let's say, either the past a year, six months or past month. So all I want to see is the most viewed videos that were viewed over the past the most the past year, no further than that. So now we got the videos that were the most viewed within the past year. Now I can go through through what I could pick out the top, you know, maybe I would get like four for each of these different windows for different tabs. Let's see one from this channel, one from that. Okay, so now we got our tabs open on each of these browsers.

The next step now is the keywords. I'm going to go in and I'm going to copy and paste all the keywords from these different videos into mind. Now, mind you, the end result is going to be a lot of keywords a lot more than I need. So of course, I'm going to use my two buddies sort feature here and it's going to sort out all the ones that I don't need, we can go ahead and eliminate, remove all those duplicates, and then now I'm just going to comb through it I'm going to delete anything that doesn't have you know, sometimes people use their their channel name as attack. So I want to get rid of that. And I want to keep just the tags that are relevant to this video.

Now again, remember, we do not want to try to trick the algorithm that's just going to punish us so we really want to delete anything that does not have to do with our video even if it's very similar. only keep the tags that are about our video. The more specific and long the tag is, the better it is for your video. Say like Toy Review. That's a very competitive term. If you want to come up on page one for Toy Review, you're going We find a lot of people, but if you put it in something like best Smurfs Toy Review 2018, you might come up on page one for that term.

So do kind of a hodgepodge mix of both of these types of terms, some broad some very specific because, again, the specific ones, you have a higher chance of coming up on page one and being ranked for those terms. The next step is I'll copy and paste some of the description of all these different videos. And again, I'll come through I'll delete any parts that aren't relevant. I don't want to plagiarize so I'll then retype it up in my own words and the last step is the title again you want to make your title very catchy. Do you want to make it click Beatty you want to make it a story that they want to see the end into like what happens next question mark question mark sort of a thing I will take relevant keywords from different titles that I see from their videos and I will also use if you've installed to buddy or video IQ click this little button here you could put a little like happy faces and Smiley's and emoticons in your title it just something else to set you apart from the other channels after I've kind of borrowed some SEO from all the other channels and I post my video.

Now I'll go through one last time I put my own flavor, my own spin on it, make sure it's my own, I don't want to be necessarily exactly copying anybody else. So now I'll put in some my own personal tags, treat the description even more to the title a little bit more. And now we're ready to go forward. Oh, and another awesome feature you can use from TubeBuddy is, there's a feature that tells you when the best day of the week and time of day is to upload your video, it's specific to your channels that it will go through and analyze all your videos. And I'll tell you when the best time is to upload and you definitely want to upload during that time based on your performance within the first two days YouTube makes kind of a judgment is this a good video or bad view?

Now my new video could still go viral after that 48 hour period, but it's more likely to go viral within that 48 hour period and really within the first 60 minutes of a video being up. It's measuring the performance of how it's going to do how many people are watching how many are posting to Facebook, how much watch time are you getting for you to upload at the best time of day, best day of the week for people watching your videos that can only help you. So definitely do that.
