Volume NOTES
Write your notes here Let's be honest guys, YouTube can take forever.
Creating videos, editing videos, uploading videos, you could be spending hours upon hours
and days upon days making one YouTube video.
When you are a new YouTuber, you have probably never done a lot of these things before.
So you are starting from ground zero.
When it comes to making YouTube videos; you've probably never filmed before, you've never
edited before, you've never uploaded before.
So no wonder you're wasting hours upon hours, just trying to get one YouTube video off the
ground.
I've definitely been there and I have wasted a lot of time making YouTube videos.
So over the years I have developed some things that have really streamlined my process.
So that way I can make YouTube videos fast.
So that's why in today's video, I'm going to be sharing five tips that will help you
save time when making your YouTube videos.
Now, before I get started, be sure to like this video, if you like saving time, when

All right my first tip for when it comes to saving time in making your YouTube videos
is to use TubeBuddy in doing your video research.
So before you even start making any videos, you want to research what topics you should
make your videos on.
You want to research things like is the topic that I'm wanting to do popular.

Do I even stand a chance of ranking for it?
If I make a video on this.
And you can streamline all of that by using a tool called TubeBuddy.
TubeBuddy is a Chrome extension exclusively for YouTube, and it really helps to streamline
that process.
So that way you're not having to manually do all this research.
And then kind of guess at what you think is the best video ideas.
TubeBuddy makes this process so quick, so lightning fast, where all you have to do is
type in your topics type in your keywords and off you go.
I actually have an entire video all about how I how TubeBuddy to research my videos,

All right.
My first tip for saving time when making your YouTube videos is to script ahead of time.
So before you even hit record on your camera, you need to know exactly what you're going
to be covering in that YouTube video.
So don't get overwhelmed with the term "script", just having this basic outline or bullet points
of what you're going to talk about is really, really going to save time.
And I know for me, it has saved me hours and just recording YouTube videos alone.
For example, what is the topic of your YouTube video?
That is a pretty basic one, but what is the main essence of this video?
And then you also want to script some of the more individual elements so that you're not
wasting a lot of time on recording day.
So what is the intro that you're going to use?
You know, what is the hook that you're going to use to get people's attention?
And then what are the main points that you want to cover in your video?
And lastly, just very simply, how are you going to end your video?
Just having a very simple script like that, going into your video, going into the recording
process, is going to save you so so much time.
I know in the past I have been totally guilty of just coming into recording day and winging
it.
And I sit down in front of my camera and I think, "OK hmm...what am I going to record
today?"
And then I waste a ton of time sitting there trying to think about one, what is the topic?
What do I even want to talk about?
And then I actually have to come up with ideas of what I'm going to say in my video.
So I end up wasting 15 to 30 minutes, just scripting the darn video when I should have
had that ready to go.
So I can just sit down.
I can hit record and I can start going.
All right, my next step for saving time when making YouTube videos is to set up your space
ahead of time.
So if you make sit-down videos like me, where you are sitting in one place, and then you
have your lights, you have your microphone, you have your camera, those things basically,
you know where those need to go every single time.
So one thing that I do the night before I know I'm recording is I get all of that stuff
out and yes, it's not that big of a deal.
And it doesn't waste that much time having to set up my lights and get everything ready,
but it probably takes me about 15 minutes.
So if I do that the night before where my camera is ready, my lights are all ready to
go.
When it comes to recording day, I can just walk in.
I can turn on my lights, turn on my camera and boom, I'm ready to go.
All right, my next tip for saving time when filming and making your YouTube videos is
to batch record.
Don't just do one video one day, and then you go and you edit and you upload that video.
And then you start that cycle all over again, because that is a lot of wasted time and a
lot of wasted effort.
So batch recording is basically where you were filming multiple videos in one sitting
or in one day, going back to my previous point, you already have your camera and your lighting
and everything all set up and ready to go.
So why don't you take advantage of that?
And you film multiple videos this way.
You have multiple videos in the can and they are ready to go.
And all you have to do is then edit and upload them.
And you can be a little bit more ahead of the game and there's less stress when it comes
to your YouTube channel and always having content.
So for me, I batch record my videos Mondays, and I typically record three to four videos
on a Monday.
Yes, I could do more.
I could do a whole month's worth of content, which would be eight videos all at once.
But I found that three to four is really the sweet spot for me.
Because more than that, I tend to get tired.
My throat starts to get really scratchy and the later videos that I'm filming in the day,
I just look a little more tired and haggard, and they're not my best work.
So for me, for videos, max, that totally works for a batch day.
So whatever it is for you start doing that.
If you need to figure out what is the sweet spot for you, if you have never batched before,
just start from going from one video to two videos, don't overwhelm yourself and think
"I'll have To do four videos all in one sitting, or I
have to do eight videos", cause that probably will
overwhelm you and then you won't do it.
And you'll, won't like the process of batching.
So if you just add baby steps where you're going from one video to two videos, and then
you batch two videos at a time, and then once you get comfortable with that, you can add
three videos and you could do four videos or whatever you are comfortable with.
Now, if you match your videos, let me know in the comments below, what are some of your
favorite things to do to make your batch days super, super efficient?
All right, my next tip, that will help you save time.
When making your YouTube videos is to use rev.com for transcriptions.
Now you might be thinking, "What are transcriptions?"
Transcriptions are basically the word for word script of your video.
Think of it as the captions or the subtitles.
Some people prefer to watch videos with the captions on because it's a little easier to
follow.
Now, majority of people out there just use the basic transcriptions that YouTube offers
and those are okay, but they have a ton of typos and they just aren't the best.
And if you really want your videos to rank, you need to start using transcriptions because
it is a perfect crystal clear word for word transcription of what you are saying in your
YouTube video.
And it helps you to better understand what the video's about.
And so if you use transcriptions, you will most likely rank higher as a result.
This is a secret weapon that nobody uses.
And I actually just released a video right here, all about transcriptions, how to add
them to your videos and what are the best ways.
Now, there are a variety of ways that you can create transcriptions for your videos.
And I talk about three ways in that video, simple, easy, and hard, but the simple, easiest
way to do that, that will save you so much time is to use rev.com.
rev.com is an amazing transcription service where basically you give them the link to
your video and they will transcribe it for you.
And then all you have to do is copy and paste that transcription to your YouTube video.
Now, again, I go over that process step-by-step in that video right here.
So definitely check that out after this video.
Now, if you're not even doing transcriptions at all, and you're thinking
"Uh, now I have to do another thing, it's going to add more time to my YouTube videos."
Yeah, it is another thing to do, but it's a super, super important thing to do because
of all the SEO benefits of having transcriptions in your videos, having clean word perfect
transcriptions, I know is one of the main reasons that make my videos stand apart and
the reasons why they perform so well in YouTube search.
Cause there's a lot of people, majority of people out there just don't do it.
So this is definitely something that you want to start doing.
Go to morganstradling.com/rev.
And that will give you $10 off your first order at Rev.
So definitely take advantage of it because it's just a free transcription that you can
get from there, or maybe two or three, depending on your videos.
And I absolutely love rev.
I've used it on every single video on my channel and I will continue to use it on every single
video on my channel because it saves me so much time.
And those transcriptions have so many benefits to helping your videos rank.
So as you can see, all of these different are for different parts of the YouTube process.
And if you can save time in each one of these individual steps, you will have so much more
time on your hands when it comes to making YouTube videos.
For example, if you're saving time doing your scripting, boom, that's great.
If you're save time doing your research, that's great.
