- I'm gonna show you to get more views and watch time
using TubeBuddy with some features that a lot of people
don't even know exist and we'll start right now.
(upbeat hiphop music)
What is going on?
My name is Nick, welcome to another video.
If this is your first time here,
and you wanna learn how to grow your channel,
make videos, and all types of other YouTube related stuff,
start now by subscribing and clicking the bell
so you don't miss anything.
Okay, so you may or may not be affected
with the changes that are coming up
so I wanted to go ahead and put this video in the queue
and move the rest of them out of the way
so that I can get this information to you
to help you cross that milestone.
For this, we're going to need to go to the computer
and you are going to need TubeBuddy.
I have a link to it down in the description below.
Let's go.
Okay, so here we are at the computer
and I'm going to show you some things
that a lot of people don't know about TubeBuddy.
They're kind of a hidden feature
so if you don't know that they're there
you're really going to love this.
So the first thing you wanna do
is you wanna go up to this little box right up here.
If you click on that, this is going to show you
basically the tools that are on the page.
This is gonna show you a bunch of other things
that you can click on to use TubeBuddy
but what you wanna look for is you wanna look for
this messages tab right here
and you wanna click on this.
Now, what's gonna happen here is this is going to tell you
on one of your recent videos that they have found
opportunities on your videos of where you can improve
those videos, so as an example, here it's telling me that
I have comments waiting for a response.
It's also telling me that there are suggested tags
that I can use to increase my potential of ranking
that there are also social mentions
and that I should be adding a card
of a particular point in the video
and that I got a relatively high
watch percentage on this video.
So the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna open up
the community: comments awaiting response
and we're going to compare this,
we're gonna take a look at it
so I can show you exactly what it's doing.
So this is gonna take me into the TubeBuddy admin
so once I'm in there, I'm just gonna click
on the comments page
and that's gonna take me right
to the comments page of that video.
So as I'm looking at this, you can see right here
it's for that particular video
and this is absolutely correct.
I do have comments in here that I have not replied to.
So that tells me that hey,
for the sake of community engagement,
I need to comment here and respond to these comments
and when you do that, that can help people
keep coming back more and more.
Now when we go back to the dashboard here,
I'm gonna click on the next one
which is the suggested tags for SEO.
And I'm gonna open that one up
and when we go this one, you can see right here
that it shows me these are other things
that will be applicable to my video
to help my ranking be stronger.
Either views are coming in from suggested
that have these tags that are associated with them
to help me get connected better in the suggested videos
or adding these to my tags is gonna help
make my SEO stronger.
Now, in this particular case, I have 484 characters
so if I'm going to do that, I need to look for
something that is less than 16 characters.
So in this particular case, I don't have that
but one thing that I do want to let you know,
when you are using this particular feature,
keep relevance in mind.
As an example here, this is unknown, right?
So what you wanna do, you would not use unknown
in your tags.
So what you wanna do is you wanna make sure
that you're using things that are directly applicable
to your tags which is almost everything in here
with the exception of that unknown tag
would be a fantastic fit for what's going on
down here in the tags.
Okay, next thing that we're gonna do is we're gonna go
into the community and social mentions.
This is really cool.
So what this is gonna do when you open this up
is this is going to show you
where people have tweeted you, where people
have auto-tweeted you in terms of
they added you at a playlist so it auto-tweets you
and things like that.
This particular video, I have 23 tweets
mentioning this video which is pretty awesome.
So the cool thing for me to do
would be to go and favorite and/or retweet
every one of these tweets to let people know
that I appreciate their support.
So that's another one of those things
in terms of the community that can be really beneficial
to you for getting longterm views
and growing the amount of people
that continually come in and watch your videos.
Okay, that next thing we're gonna go into
is the audience retention, the add cards before drop-off.
This is an awesome recommendation, let me tell you why.
If you wanna increase watch time on your channel,
adding cards at the right places before drop-offs
can be extremely valuable for feeding viewers
into more and more of your content.
So I'm gonna open this one up
and what this is telling me here,
it's saying that there was a 15% drop in retention
from the one minute and 48 second mark
to the two minute and 19 second mark,
so they're telling me to go to my cards page
and add a card at the one minute and 48 second mark
to direct viewers to the other videos.
So I'm gonna open that up and we are going to
see exactly what is happening there
and I bet I already did.
Yes I did, and this is, I put it at the 1:47
so that was pretty close, but you can see it right there
basically, what it is is their system
is reading your audience retention report
and it's saying that hey, they're a problem right here
in terms of a lot of people dropping off
from here to here so we recommend that you put a card
before that particular drop off so that people
will click on that and then go and watch
another video of yours so that you can keep them
within your trap, so to speak.
Now that was an extremely valuable thing.
That is probably in my opinion,
that's probably one of the most valuable things on this list
and this one down here, this basically
just lets this know that our audience retention
was relatively high in this video and when you have videos
with high retention, it's typically good practice
to make more videos that are similar to this
because that let's you know that these
are the types of things that your audience is into.
