1. Make Compelling Titles

1. Make Compelling Titles

No matter how good your video looks it’s useless if no one clicks on it. So it’s imperative that you optimize your video titles to bring in viewers.

Find the right keywords: Keywords in the title tells Google crawlers what your video is about. And good keywords also tell your viewers what they can expect, so it’s a win/win.

Keep the title short : The ideal length of video titles shouldn’t exceed 60 characters. Readers should see the whole title at a glance.

2. Create Perfect YouTube Thumbnails

2. Create Perfect YouTube Thumbnails

Effective thumbnails make users click right away and make your YouTube channel more recognizable. Thumbnails should be relevant to the video’s content and title.

Include short descriptions and relevant images in your thumbnails to help people understand what your video is about.

  • Use standard video sizes – 1280×720 or 1920×1080. Smaller sizes can look blurry.
  • Use only high-quality images.
  • Include the video title on your thumbnail as it helps attract more views.
  • Image formats should be JPG, PNG, GIF, BMP, or TIF.
  • Use the 16:9 aspect ratio that works best for YouTube players.

3. Limit Videos to Under 5 Minutes

If you want to get the most out of your videos, focus on their total watch time. Based on the Comscore survey, the duration of the majority of the YouTube videos is about 5 minutes.

If you create long videos by just repeating yourself, it won’t help. People need a good reason to be interested in your video.

  • Create high-quality content in each video
  • Optimize your videos to be under 5 minutes
  • Make them interesting, informative, and short

Branding your YouTube channel is the next thing you should do to make it visually attractive and encourage visitors to take you seriously. It helps you increase brand awareness and spend more time with your audience.

Use your company logo for your channel. If you’re an independent video blogger, you can use your headshot instead of a logo.

To help people find you, add titles and descriptions to your videos. On top of the banner image, you also can include links to your website and social media.

It’s important to make an informative and relevant bio about your company or your personality.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
