for your YouTube channel, then stay tuned.
Watch the video all the way to the end as I show you how.
Hi there,
David Walsh here once again from davidwalshonline.com,
your place to grow your business using YouTube.
In this video I'm gonna show you how you can create
a playlist for your YouTube channel.
Before I do,
if this is your first time here,
make sure to hit the old subscribe button
and also the notification bell
to be notified every time
we upload brand new videos every Tuesday.
And if you are a subscriber, welcome back.
How are ya?
Creating playlists for your YouTube channel
is a fantastic way to increase watch time,
get more views on your videos,
and also just get people to like
and watch more of your content.
Create playlists for the different types of content
that you create on your YouTube channel,
and it also helps people find your content easier.
Especially when you place it on the front
of your YouTube channel itself.
So without further ado,
gonna head on over to the old trusty computer
to show you how you can create a playlist
for your YouTube channel.
Here we are inside the YouTube Dashboard
to set up a quick and easy playlist inside of YouTube,
in the new studio beater layout.
Just go to videos.
Select the video that you want to add to your playlist.
If it isn't there already,
you just go down to playlists here.
Then click on new playlist.
So lets just add this one here.
You have the option to select whether you want it public,
private, or unlisted.
And this is the same as you have with your video options.
So with this one,
I'm just gonna leave it public
and then I'm gonna click on create.
So, if that's all you need to do with your playlists,
you just wanna quickly add a video to that,
and other videos, et cetera, then that's all you need to do,
then click on done and click on save.
Job done.
You can go about your business, do anything that you want,
and you are pretty much done.
Now, if you wanna get the most out of playlists,
which I recommend that you do, we will head, then,
over to creator studio classic.
When in here, we click on playlists.
So, here is the one that we've created.
So, if you are in here
and you want to create a new playlist,
click on new playlist, and then, again,
you have your options here,
whether you want public, unlisted, or private.
Let's go unlisted for this one, just for fits and giggles.
And click on create.
So, to get the best, we click on edit.
Now, we have some options here.
So, if you want to delete this playlist,
you can do so here, just click on the three dots,
and you click on delete playlist, and then, yes, delete.
You also have another option to translate playlist info,
which we will come to in a minute.
You can also edit the title here,
if you want to, very easily.
Now, the beauty about playlists is YouTube treat it
the same as a video.
So, this is almost like content itself.
So, what we want to do is,
we want to add a keyword-rich description in here.
So, if we were talking about Fortnite or whatever,
then we want to add a description here.
So, I've just put in a very, very, very basic description
in there with Fortnite, so I've got Fortnite videos,
Fornite dances and moves, et cetera, Fortnite games.
So, I've just put in a couple of key words
that are associated with Fortnite in here.
Now, I can add more text in there if I want.
Once I've got that done, I want to add some videos.
So, I'm just gonna click on here
and then I'll go up to my YouTube videos.
So, I'm gonna add that one, that one, that one.
Then, click on add videos.
So, you see, we have a number of options here
with the videos, so I can move that to the top,
move to the bottom.
I can add or edit notes.
So, you can see, you can put notes along here
that will appear there, and you can also set this
as the playlist thumbnail.
So, whichever video's at the top will automatically
be the playlist thumbnail.
So, I can set that one, if I got that further down,
I can set that there.
Now, other options here are our playlist settings.
Now, this is a very important setting, here.
So, we have our privacy, so, as we said,
we got public, unlisted, or private.
We're gonna leave that as unlisted.
So, the order of your videos here.
So, you can select manual, which we've got there.
We can also select date added, the newest first,
or date added, oldest first.
You can also rank them by most popular,
date published newest or date published oldest.
So, you can have it, whether you want them
when they were added to the playlist by oldest or newest,
or when they were actually published.
So, if these are your videos, you'll probably go
with date published newest.
Now, you have the option here to allow embedding as well,
so you can allow people to embed your videos.
So, you can switch that on or off.
And you also have another option here,
which is to set as official series playlist.
This is an option.
We're gonna create a separate video for this,
so I'm not gonna go into it right now.
Now, you also have an auto add feature here,
so you can set up the rule.
If your title contains key words,
so, in this case, maybe Fortnite,
the title contains Fortnite
or the description contains Fortnite,
or a tag, we've got a tag that has a Fortnite in it.
So, if any of those rules are met,
it will be added to this particular playlist.
And, if you want to remove your rule,
just click on the bucket.
And then, you can also set up,
collaborators can add to this, too.
Click that on there and then click on get link.
It gives you this unique link here,
which you can then send to people,
and then they can add videos to this particular playlist.
And, if you want to deactivate it, click on deactivate link
and you can switch that off, there.
So, once you have all your settings set up, click on save.
So, you'll see, it's ordered them according
to the rules that we set up,
and if we want to move them 'round,
of course, we can do so.
We can just slide that down there.
And if you wanna add more videos,
click on add video, et cetera, et cetera.
Earlier, we looked at the translate playlist info,
so, let's look at that now.
So, what we can do is, if you want your videos
or playlists translated into multiple languages,
you can do that here.
So, we can select original language,
which we will select as UK English, select language.
Then, we can translate it into,
and if we haven't got languages set up,
we can select a language, let's pick German.
Add language.
So, if you don't know about the translate feature,
we can then translate our titles, descriptions, et cetera
into a different language,
and then they will appear on the video when the browser
has that particular language setting enabled.
So, we could then translate our videos and our playlists
into German, in this case, pop in a German header here,
and then pop in a German description as well.
And you can do as many languages as you like.
So, your content will be available
for people in multiple languages.
And, once you have that set up, click on the save button,
and if you want to delete, click on the delete button,
and it's done.
So, there you go.
That's how you quickly and easily make a playlist
for your YouTube channel.
And as you can see, you can add videos automatically,
you can put them in random order
or you can put them in order of how they were added
and uploaded to your YouTube channel.
It's very easy, very great thing to do
and this is what I recommend
to all my customers and clients when they're creating videos
is to make sure to add those videos
to the different playlists that they have
on their YouTube channel.
And a little trick for you is,
when you're sending out links to your videos,
make sure that that link is going to that video
in one of your YouTube playlists.
So, you then have all the other videos in that playlist
on the right hand side of that video.
So, if they're gonna click away
and watch a different video, it may as well be yours.
