- More is always more, isn't it?
Hey everybody!
This is Roberto Blake of robertoblake.com
helping you create something awesome today.
So today, we're going to be talking about TubeBuddy again,
hashtag not sponsored.
Tubebuddy is a great tool, you guys know that.
I've been using it to dominate YouTube search for a while.
I've done some other videos about it
but today I'm going to talk about
the top five features in TubeBuddy
that will help you get more views
and more subscribers for your YouTube channel.
So TubeBuddy is a Chrome browser plug-in
and a lot of it is about YouTube optimization
but also about productivity.
But today we're going to focus
more on the optimization side.
One of the best features in this entire tool is,
number one, its Keyword Explorer tool.
The Keyword Explorer tool will let you go ahead
and type in some ideas for titles and tags for your videos,
kind of like you would in a YouTube search manually.
The great thing about this is it can go ahead and tell you
of the search volume for those videos roughly,
whether there's more people searching for this thing or not.
It can give you recommendations
on different titles and tags and things
that people are searching for and how competitive it is.
The great thing about this means that
if there is a keyword that you think
would really matter for your audience,
or a title that would matter
but a lot of people are searching for it
and there's low competition,
that is a huge opportunity for you.
Or even if there's not a lot of people searching for it
but there's no competition,
then that means that you could serve the people
that are looking for that.
And it might be a small audience
but you could absorb all of them.
And so in the long run,
that could really matter for your channel,
especially if you're a growing channel,
if you're a small channel.
So I think that that's great.
Obviously, it also has an auto-suggest tool
that will give you more tags that you can utilize.
So I really just think the Keyword Explorer tool
is one of the fundamental things
that makes TubeBuddy an amazing tool,
and you can get more viewers,
which leads to more subscribers if you use it right.
Let's move on to feature number two,
the Search Ranking tool.
The Search Ranking tool is tied to the Keyword Explorer
but the way it works is,
after a video is public and live,
you can use the Search Ranking tool
and you can see the real-time results
for how each one of your keywords is ranking
in YouTube Search right this moment.
And it is accurate.
It is very accurate.
And so, if you look at that you might want to adjust,
and it might mean that you're going to change
or alter your titles, tags, and descriptions
for those video tags to rank better.
I did this for videos that I thought were underperforming,
for old videos that I thought
could get more views and more traction.
And it resulted in one of my videos
that is the second most watched video
on the channel right now, which I believe is the
"Five Businesses You Can Start From Home Right Now",
it's something like that.
This video was underperforming
for the first six months of its lifetime.
I went back and optimized it in TubeBuddy
and also gave it a new thumbnail, fresh coat of paint.
And this video skyrocketed
and today it is still one of the videos
that gets the most views out of anything I put out
for the entire month.
So, this really matters.
Being able to figure out
whether your keywords are ranking well
for your existing videos,
going back and optimizing them using this tool
could bring new life to your channel,
get you new subscribers from your old content.
Feature number three, the Best Time to Upload Report.
If you've ever wondered what the best day and the best time
to upload to YouTube is, you know that there are
a lot of not great answers out there.
There's no specific date and time
that's the best to upload for every single channel,
just your channel.
So, this data report analyzes your existing content
and decides, based on that,
when your viewers actually watch your videos,
and will give you a recommended day and time
that would be the best time for you to upload new content.
So I would take advantage of this
because this data is based on your channel,
and that's what really counts
because it's about your audience.
What works for somebody else may not work for you.
So data that's specific to your channel
is really good to have
and that's one of the better features, I think overall,
about TubeBuddy, is the data specific to your channel.
Number four, the YouTube Scheduling tool.
So the YouTube Scheduling tool in TubeBuddy
can actually override the YouTube Scheduling tool
that's just built into the dashboard.
Because if you decide to upload your video
and you forget to mark it as Scheduled
and you make it Unlisted or something like that,
you don't mark it as Private,
it may not let you go back and decide that,
"No, no, I want to schedule that
"to go out at a certain time."
But, this particular tool in TubeBuddy would let you decide
when that's going to go public
regardless of what the setup for the video is.
It could be public, private, or whatever
and you could go ahead and make it private again,
or make it unlisted, and then set it to go live
when you want in TubeBuddy.
So if you need a video to be unlisted for a couple of days
while a sponsor approves it or something like that,
and you want it unlisted so that they can look at it
and the rest of your audience can't,
and you want it to go live on a specific date
so you don't just have to go back and do anything,
because they're going to say,
"Yes, everything's fine with the content,"
this could be extremely helpful.
Or if you're going to be on vacation for a couple of days
and you want to go ahead
and upload all of your content for the week
and set it and forget about it, this is perfect.
SO you can go ahead and do that
and this is a great tool for that.
The reason this is going to help you
get more views and subscribers is,
what if you have a video
that you want to release on a specific date
because something big is going to happen around that date
and you have content for it?
This just makes that process easier.
Also, if you're combining this with the data that you got
on when the best time to upload is,
hint hint, that's going to really work out for you.
And finally, feature number five.
Feature number five about TubeBuddy
that I think will help you get a ton of views
and subscribers is the Bulk Upload to Facebook feature.
So you can directly publish a video
from TubeBuddy to Facebook as long as you're logged in
and you've linked the accounts
and you don't have to do anything else.
It's a one-click thing.
But, here's the beauty of it.
You can also bulk publish directly to your Facebook,
schedule when those videos are going to release
on your Facebook page, and that can help you out.
Uploading natively to Facebook might sound counterintuitive.
It might sound like you're competing
with your YouTube channel.
But the thing is, if there are people in Facebook
who have never heard of you, more exposure for your brand,
more exposure for your content,
letting people know you have a YouTube channel.
That could really help
and then you can get all of that traction.
Not to mention if your videos have sponsorship
that's tied to them, this could help out with that.
Or if you're using affiliate marketing,
or if your videos sell something,
this will make you more money
and give you more exposure on top of it.
And again, you could still get more views
and subscribers out of it.
So I definitely think it's worth exploring
and I think it's another great feature within TubeBuddy
and part of the whole tool set
that just helps out YouTubers.
So if you want to grab TubeBuddy,
go ahead and use my affiliate link tubebuddy.com/awesome.
That really helps out the channel.
Again, hashtag not sponsored, but I do love the product.
And I think it'll help the far majority of you
especially if you use these five features
that I showed you so that you can get more views,
get more subscribers, get more exposure
for your channel and for your brand.
