Hello and welcome to vidIQ, a Youtube service that aims to help you get more views in less
time.
How do we do that?
Well take a look at this.
This realtime stats bar will show you everything you need to know about your channel when you
are on any Youtube page.
Hover over the graph to show detailed breakdowns of the analytics and customise the stats bar
itself.
If you do a search on Youtube this bar down the right hand side is full of information.
If you enable inline keywords you can view all the tags that have been used on the most
popular videos for your search term.
The keyword score will show how popular the keyword is against how many videos contain
it.
If it's a popular term with low competition, think about making videos that target that
keyword.
Next up are top related queries to your current search term and rising keywords.
These keywords are a good indicator of what's trending on Youtube so definitely something
to keep a good eye on.
As well as related queries, vidIQ's search panel will also list top keywords for the
topic.
Hover your mouse over any of these words to reveal volume of monthly searches and the
keyword score.
Of course there can be hundreds of top keywords and we try our best... to list them all.
At the bottom of that list we'll showcase some of the trending videos for that search
term because Youtube doesn't always show you what's hot right now.
But if you want to delve much deeper into a keyword word simply click on it to launch
the keyword inspector.
This will show interest over time from the last 30 days, last year or all time.
Very useful for finding trending topics and evergreen content.
And one last thing on the search page is this handy breakdown of average video views, age
of video, top channel creator and much more.
On the channel page of every single youtuber on the planet we've added analytics that include
estimated revenue total channel views, daily average views, daily subscribers and views
and subscribers over the last 30 days.
Just below that you will find the channel tags.
You may have also noticed this trending tab.
This shows you which videos are hot on a channel right now as they are sorted by views per
hour.
As you can see, one of these videos is a month old but still getting a lot of views.
If you spotted the top keywords button good job because that's where we are going next.
This shows you the top keyword from all those trending videos along with two useful tools.
The first copies all these keywords to your clipboard while the second drills down into
those keywords to show you how often they appear in the trending videos as well as the
overall search volume of the keyword on Youtube.
Some pretty impressive insider knowledge right?
Well that's only the tip of a very large analytical iceberg.
Now let's introduce you to the video scorecard that reveals a wealth of analytics for every
single video on Youtube.
You can expand and minimise the whole panel down the right hand side or minimise individual
sections.
Let's take a closer look.
The overview estimates the earnings of the video, views per hour, engagement, how many
subscriber the video earned for the channel, average view duration and more.
All of this feeds into the vidIQ score.
For your own videos it will also tell you how your videos and watched and from where.
Important for deciding how you make your videos, for whom and when to publish them.
Engagement comes next telling you everything you need to know from a Youtube angle along
with other social media platforms.
The discoverability of a video is the key to Youtube success and our Search Engine Optimization
panel has loads of useful information.
You can mouse over many of these number to show more details such as the breakdown of
our SEO score calculator, traffic from other Youtube videos and embedded sources.
If you've ever wanted to know why a video is so successful or unsuccessful this will
tell exactly why.
You've already seen the channel analytics displayed on the channel page so let's move
onto videos tags.
This shows you all the keywords used for a video and where they rank on the first page
of any Youtube search for the keyword.
You have those tools in the top right to copy keywords or drill deeper into them, you can
click on any tag to launch the keyword inspector and if it's your own video you can quickly
add more keywords.
Incredibly this is just the first panel of the video scorecard.
We also have historical growth, social media shares and what videos are trending in the
same topic.
But we're not just about analysing your audience, we also build tools to help you engage with
your audience which is why we have the comment template builder.
For any comment on one of your videos you can use the vidIQ button to preselect a template
comment.
So no more copying and pasting from a text file.
If you have to respond to the same question over and over again or you just want to say
a simple thank you this tool enables you do it in seconds.
Oh and I'm sure you'll be delighted to hear this tool is available from Youtube's central
comments page so you can manage all the comments for you channel via the template tool.
Speaking of managing stuff let's move onto the video manager tools.
The vidIQ button seated next to every video includes a wide tool set.
These include setting a video as your featured video (this option is usually hidden deep
within Youtube's video manager.)
A copy card facility that let's you chose one, some or all the cards from one video
and then copy them to one, some or all or your other videos...
An end screen cards copy facility that does exactly the same thing for promotional material
that appears at the conclusion of your videos....
A social media syndication tool that enables you to send a Youtube video directly to your
facebook page within the space of 30 seconds and four or five clicks of a mouse
And last but not least there is a fully functional thumbnail editor where you can select any
frame you want from the video and then add text to it along with emojis, because who
doesn't like emojis on their thumbnails!?
A couple more tools before we more on.
At the top of the video manager page you can edit video cards and ends screens on a mass
scale and if you want to add some text to the video description of some, many or all
of your videos for a limited period of time (say for example, a giveaway) you can take
advantage of the bulk descriptions tool).
Now we all know the upload process can be intense so here's a few things to assist.
Character counts and limits are added to titles, descriptions and tags so you never go over
your limits.
You will also find an emoji inserter tool because if you haven't already established,
we love emojis.
As you continue your upload process the SEO score will dynamically update to let you know
whether you're optimizing your tags, titles and descriptions correctly.
And just below that is the upload checklist that lists eight important actions you need
to take during the upload process and after video publication.
Rather handily each of these suggestion include direction links to take the necessary actions.
In this case setting up your video cards
For for the final piece of the upload jigsaw puzzle when you use high volume tags you can
mouse over those tags for more information.
Further more if you have vidIQ boost access the lower section of the upload page recommends
other tags you should use, all you need to do is click on the plus button.
And if you're interested to know similar videos to yours that are trending those are shown
on the right hand side.
Have you had enough yet?
Nope, let's carry on then.
Two tabs vidIQ have added to the Youtube homepage are Competitors and Trend alerts.
The competitors tab allows you add Youtube channels to a list where videos are then sorted
by views per hour.
That tells you what videos are performing well for channels that you are interested
in as a Youtuber yourself.
The trend alerts tab on the other hand, let's you create a custom filter that lists trending
videos for specific keywords over a certain views per hour threshold over a set period
of time.
And what makes this tool even better is that it will email you that list so you never miss
out on content that's trending that's specific to your interests.
Oh if I'm going too quickly through any of these tools you can find much deeper dives
into each feature on the vidIQ Youtube channel so don't forget to check that out.
Infact, maybe subscribing to the vidIQ is the best tool of the lot.
Phew that's more tips than you can shake a Youtube subscribe pillow at.
I assume this leaves you with one question: how do I get all this awesome stuff?
The simple answer is... right here.
All you need to do is install the vidIQ chrome extension to enjoy most of the tools featured
in this video for absolutely free.
And I'll leave you with this question, which tool is your favourite and why?
Thanks for watching, enjoy the rest of your video making day, bye for now.
