Keyword Tips

Keyword Tips

• Use YouTube’s Keyword Research Tool. It will give you good suggestions for related queries. • The obvious keywords to you are not obvious to your potential audience. • Ask what problem you provide a solution for…and bid on keywords that allow your videos to join the conversation in a searcher’s mind. • No offense, but people don’t necessarily know who YOU are. They are asking WIIFM?

you include in your description, the higher your chances of being discovered by searchers (5,000 characters max). Get your top keyword / keyword phrase in 3-4 times. But make it look natural with variations that users might search to find your video.
