Here’s how you can save time while uploading to YouTube with TubeBuddy’s FREE upload
default feature!
[Tips & Tricks Bumper]
Hello TubeBuddies! When publishing to YouTube you want to make sure you have a video's title,
description, and tags ready to go. However, YouTube only gives you the option of one upload
default. This works fine, but it’s very limited. With TubeBuddy we give you multiple!
This helps save you time on the upload so you can go back to creating content! Do you
want to learn how to save more time with the TubeBuddy tools? Then subscribe to TubeBuddy
and ring that bell so you can see more tubebuddy tutorials that can help you save time and
earn more views on YouTube. Here’s how you access upload defaults!
On YouTube click the TubeBuddy drop down menu and select dashboard. From here you’ll be
brought to the YouTube dashboard. In the bottom left hand corner, click on the settings cogwheel.
Here you will see your YouTube settings. Click on upload defaults which you can identify
instantly with this TubeBuddy icon here.
In Upload defaults you’ll be able to see basic information such as your Title, Description,
Video Visibility, and tags. In the advanced settings you can see more information such
as YouTube license type, your YouTube video category, The language the videos in, if you
want to have your community contribute captions, ways to manage your YouTube comments, or allow
users to view the likes or dislikes on a video with ratings.
Monetization gives you full control of how you can monetize your YouTube videos if you’re
in the YouTube Partnership program. When you first look here under upload defaults, this
is known as “Youtube’s own” upload default.
However, with TubeBuddy you can make an additional upload default with our free version. All
paid versions give you an unlimited amount of upload defaults and this can save you A
TON of time. For this tutorial, we’re going to be focusing mainly on the “Basic Tab”
when it comes to upload defaults. Let’s start by creating our first additional upload
default.
At the bottom of the screen next to the tubebuddy icon and upload defaults click on the “new”
button here. This will then ask you what you want to name your upload default! Since we’re
talking about time savings we could call this upload default TubeBuddy Time Saving Features.
Once you name it, it will give you a blank upload default, and it won’t save ANYTHING
until you’ve filled a section in the upload default with text. This let’s you have multiple
different titles, descriptions, tags, etc. ready and set for your YouTube channel. We
already went ahead and set up an upload default so we will go ahead and delete this one, by
clicking delete down here. Then we’ll confirm we want to delete this upload default. TubeBuddy
will then confirm it’s deleted and all you have to do is click ok. If the menu on the
left hand side isn’t already expanded click the TubeBuddy icon here to show all of your
upload defaults. As you can see we at TubeBuddy have multiple upload defaults one for each
of our streamers, and even different upload defaults for each of our video types.
Again, upload defaults can save you SO MUCH TIME, and it’s a great idea to have multiple
upload defaults. For example, If you’re a tech channel and let’s say you primarily
review iPhones you can have an upload default that in the description points people to your
past iPhone uploads, so they can watch more iPhone content from you. If you’re a vlogger
you can have an upload default for simple vlogs where you’re just talking to the camera,
and each default can change the links and the videos you mention in the description
to help your viewers have a better viewing experience and find more of your content.
Upload defaults are really powerful and they save you a lot of time because you don’t
have to copy all these links to an external document and then bring them into YouTube.
With TubeBuddy’s upload defaults, they apply right when you’re uploading a video.
You can use upload defaults when you’re uploading a new video, when you’re creating
new YouTube Live Streams, On Existing YouTube uploads if you want to replace descriptions,
and even in TubeBuddy’s own SEO Studio by selecting and clicking upload defaults down
here, which will add it to the SEO Studio optimization we’re doing for this video.
Huh how meta? Oh hi… let’s get back to the video! [Picture in Picture Effect]
If we click on the “TubeBuddy Time Saving Features” upload default. It will load that
default. We recommend featuring at LEAST a playlist with related content, and maybe other
videos around the topic of that video. You can also have your socials, and maybe at the
end of your YouTube descriptions Hashtags that make sense for the upload default.
We’ll go ahead and add these three hashtags #tubebuddy #tubebuddytimesaving and #tubebuddytutorial
if you’d like to see a video about hashtags let us know in the comments down below! Speaking
of comments, you can change them in the Advanced settings tab. We recommend holding potentially
inappropriate comments for review. We also allow YOU to add captions to our TubeBuddy
YouTube videos, so we have that selected under community contributions as on.
The final section is monetization. Since we don’t monetize the TubeBuddy videos we will
skip this, but we recommend selecting the monetization settings that are best for you.
It’s important to note that you need to be a partner to be able to monetize and we
will have an article in this video’s description all about YouTube monetization. Since we’re
done editing our upload default, we’ll go ahead and click Save here. Which YouTube then
will confirm if we can use the upload default. Once done you’ve successfully added a YouTube
upload default!
We wanted to know, how many upload defaults do you have? We have over 10 and plan to add
many more! Do you want to learn how TubeBuddy can save you more time? Then check out that
