Over 50% of my views every month (on average) come through the YouTube search.

I want to thank companies like RapidTags, TubeBuddy, Heartbeat (powered by Freedom!) and vidIQ for creating such useful tools for SEO for content creators on YouTube. These tools have helped saved me hours at a time coming up with the best YouTube video titles, descriptions and tags. These tools go above and beyond to help optimize your YouTube channel, allowing you to dive deep into analytics that aren't even in your YouTube dashboard. Thanks to RapidTags & Heartbeat you can come up with well-written tags and titles within seconds, thanks to TubeBuddy and vidIQ, you can save hours of your day because of their bulk editing features, video optimization tools, and great service!

One thing I see often and a reason why a lot of channels don't get as many views as they'd like is that their content is not well presented. Their titles are written with all the wrong punctuation, capitalization, grammar and spelling, while their thumbnail is over-done. Most YouTube channels even fail to write short descriptions in their videos or add tags when these things exist to help them grow their channel. Not only will these things decrease their ranking in the YouTube search results, anyone who comes across their videos in any other ways (social media, recommended videos, subscription box, home page) won't want to watch them cause of how their content is presented. Please take the time to brand yourself well.
