Do you struggle to publish videos on a regular basis? Do you get stressed out
trying to come up with new video ideas? The more consistent you can be on
YouTube the faster you can grow your channel. Today you'll learn 7 ways to
be more consistent on YouTube. Hello my name is Herman Drost from
drostdesigns.com. If you want to grow your audience on YouTube and generate
traffic leads and subscribers on autopilot hit the subscribe button or
hit the bell notification icon for the past few years I've been able to
maintain a consistent schedule of uploading at least two videos every week
as a result my channel has grown steadily because each new video attracts
new views and subscribers most of my traffic comes from search which means
they're finding my videos based upon the keywords they're entering in to YouTube
or Google my other main source of traffic is suggested videos which means
that YouTube is promoting my videos on other people's channels based upon their
viewing history. Let me give you 7 ways to be more consistent on YouTube
number one schedule planning time I usually set aside one day to plan out
the content for the week or for two weeks the purpose of doing this is that
I can schedule videos ahead of time so I don't get stressed out thinking that I
have to upload a new video for today number two create a list of video
content ideas I usually jot down a list of titles in a Google spreadsheet. If I
can't come up with new ideas on my own I'll just enter my main keyword in the
youtube search box YouTube will then spit out a bunch of suggestions
alternatively I'll visit channels forums and groups in my niche or read articles
online the purpose is not to copy a video or an article but to use it to
stimulate new ideas that you can come up with on your own. I've discovered that if
I try to force new ideas into my mind it doesn't happen new ideas often emerge
when I'm out and about take a break or exercise therefore I usually use the
notes app on my iPhone to jot down new ideas as they arise this helps prevent
me from suffering from writer's block and just staring at a blank screen
number three write a script after I've created a list of titles for future videos I'll
expand upon the tiles by adding bullet points to each title this helps me to
keep on track while filming my video I used to create a script where I would
write down everything that I would say in the video nowadays I just try to
follow a few bullet points and just try to speak freely as I'm recording the
video if I make some mistakes I just keep recording because I can
edit out the mistakes in my video editing software afterwards if you have
the time create two or three scripts on the same topic this enables you to
create a series of related videos which you can add to a playlist number four
batch record your videos set aside a period of time where you can batch
record several videos at once usually I do this in the morning
when I have the most energy if I leave it for the end of the day I'm usually
tired and not motivated it also helps to have a permanent setup so don't have to
move around the lights and the tripod etc I simply switch the lights on and
hit the record button when you batch record several videos a time you can
edit them throughout the week just make sure that you finish editing that one
video that's going to be released the next day another time-saver is to switch
your camera to photo mode and take a few photos so they'll be ready for your
thumbnails challenge yourself to see how many videos you can batch record it in
one day if you can batch record eight videos then you have videos ready to go
without going back to the recording process number five create editing
shortcuts become very familiar with the editing software that you use instead of
using all different types of software in the beginning the editing process will
be very slow and you may take all day to edit one video as you get more familiar
with the software you'll discover shortcuts which will reduce to editing
time another way to reduce the editing time is to use reusable assets this
could be the intro, end screen and graphics that you use for each video if your
computer and internet is slow think about upgrading your computer by adding
more memory and subscribing to a faster internet speed number six fast
optimization if you want to speed up the optimization of your videos then use a
free tool such as TubeBuddy it enables you to quickly find the right tags to
add to your videos you can also edit the descriptions of all the videos across
your channel if you use the bulk card feature you can add a card across all
the videos on your channel click the card icon to watch my review of TubeBuddy
Another time saver that's actually built into YouTube
is the upload defaults if you use much the same content for each new video you
upload just enter that content in the upload defaults it will then
automatically appear in each description of each new video you upload number
seven promotion use the social profiles that are displayed under YouTube videos
to quickly share your videos to your social media sites continue to promote
your video throughout the week so it continues to receive new traffic here
Here are several important things to keep in mind to stay consistent on YouTube
number one create evergreen videos record some ever-green videos that
have already been edited so if life gets in the way for instance if you get sick
or if there's an emergency you have videos ready to go number two double
your energy it takes a lot of energy to record one video because you have to ten
times the energy of your normal self therefore if you record multiple videos
in succession you need to have a continuous flow of high energy number
three don't sweat it if you miss a day if you miss a day or a
week of not publishing a video your subscribers will forgive you and still
be there when you return you should also forgive yourself and be able to take a
break number four store your video files in
one place if you scatter your video files all of over computer it will be hard
to find them when it comes to editing number five consider live streaming if
you want to increase the frequency of publishing videos on your channel I
suggest doing a live stream once a week I used to upload two videos per week but
now with the live stream every Friday I can do three videos per week let me ask
