- Wouldn't it be cool
if you could squeeze all of this YouTube data
into your pocket?
Nice.
(upbeat music)
Content creation has gone mobile, that's a fact,
and so have we.
Say hello to the official vidIQ app,
available to download now for free on Android and iOS.
Hey folks, I'm Rob.
Welcome back to vidIQ,
educating you on your YouTube journey.
And today's lesson is how to grow your channel
using one of these.
No doubt you're already aware
of all of the vidIQ's powerful desktop tools
that will help you research YouTube,
analyze every single video on the YouTube platform,
audit your own channel and make data-driven decisions.
But we all know as creators
that we don't always have access to our computers
to get to these tools.
And there are the next generation of creators
who are mobile-only.
So what we've done
is taken many of our best industry-leading tools
and optimize them down to a mobile experience,
which I'm going to take you through right now.
All right then, a tiny bit of housekeeping first.
You will need to authenticate
your YouTube channel with vidIQ.
But rest assured, we only ask for permissions
that are absolutely necessary.
Once authenticated, you should see a screen similar to this.
Along the bottom you will find our most popular tools
as well as more features such as account management
and switching channels
if you run multiple channels through vidIQ.
But now we've got the boring stuff out of the way,
let's start having some fun.
At the top of the dashboard screen,
you can jump straight into some keyword research
and get an instant assessment of the value of a keyword.
But on top of what you've actually searched for,
vidIQ will recommend related keywords.
Through this you can start to build the keyword universe,
get to know the language of your topic.
Simply tap the checkbox next to each keyword,
and vidIQ will copy them into your clipboard
to use elsewhere.

Sticking on the theme of research,
back on the dashboard screen
we'll show you all of the keywords
your channel is known for.
And if you tap in, the list only gets bigger.
It's actually a really simple formula.
If you know all of the keywords
that surround your video topic,
then you basically know
what your viewers are searching for on YouTube.
And with this information,
you can start to include in all aspects of your content,
be it the thumbnail, the title, the description,
even the language you use within the video itself.
And back on the dashboard screen,
we will tell you which search terms
are pulling in an audience.
(bell chiming)
And here's another very simple formula.
Make more of what you're well known for on YouTube.
And to cap off the dashboard screen
is the competitor report.
This will show you how the channels you are following
are currently performing
and some of their best performing videos are listed below.
Tap on one and you'll jump straight into the YouTube app
so you can see exactly why they are doing well
and what you can learn from it.
We'll show you how to add competitors to your channel
a little later.
That's because, first of all, come here,
I wanna let you in on a little secret,
we've got a brand new feature that we're testing
and we want your feedback, and it's in the mobile app.

This is an exclusive peek at Daily Ideas,
a machine learning tool that will study your channel
no matter the size of it and suggest ideas for content.
For each suggestion,
you'll be able to quickly research videos
related to the idea
to discover whether these would work for you.
As before, tap on the video thumbnail
to jump into YouTube and watch it.
Video ideas currently in beta testing
should now be rolled out to vidIQ Boost users
in the mobile app.
But don't worry, there's a free version coming very soon
and we'd love your feedback when you see it.
Next up, let's take a look at some video optimization.
Tapping into any video on this list
will allow you to watch a video directly from the screen
or edit it just like you would from the YouTube Studio app.
You can also conduct further research here
if you want to to further optimize your video
either before or after it has been published.
The SEO score will ensure you've optimized
the videos' metadata as best as possible,
and will even provide you a very handy checklist
that covers many of the best practices
when it comes to optimizing your YouTube videos
from title length to hashtags.
You know, I think this is the first time
I've got everything in the green.
This is just incredible.
How do we fit so much into this app?
What's that?
There's more!

After you've researched which channels are worth watching
within your video topic space,
this competitor tool
is how you keep track of their channels performance
and best videos.
To add a new competitor to this list,
simply tap the plus button in the top right-hand corner
and search for the YouTube channel you want to add.
It's as simple as that.
There you have it, folks,
