- If you're new to YouTube or just new to TubeBuddy,
we understand how quickly you can become overwhelmed
while trying to keep up with all of
the best practices for making videos.
So today I want to give you a quick tour around TubeBuddy
with some of our most popular free features
so you can get started right away.

Hello, Tube Buddies, I'm Shelly Nathan,
the Video Manager and Product Expert here at TubeBuddy.
Our entire mission is to create a suite of tools that
helps you get the most out of your content creation process.
Now, we like to categorize our tools into these sections,
but really at the end of the day,
it just means tools that save you time
and tools that help you find opportunities
to get your videos seen by more people.
If you're new to TubeBuddy and you want to get started,
check the description below for a link to install.
As we go through the tour there may be some features
that are limited on the free version.
I will make sure to call those out,
and without further ado, let's go ahead and start the tour.
Keyword Explorer.
This tool will help you find long tail search terms
to better target what people are looking for on YouTube.
You'll also be able to discover trending tags

you'll be able to see the top three results
in every category up to 25 searches per day.

to what people are searching for,

showing off their channel milestones.
You can share it on social media
or download it for yourself.
On the free version you'll be unable to select
custom backgrounds for your milestone certificates.
Advanced Video Embedding.
Since YouTube only gives you a few
basic options for embedding and playlists,
you may want to customize the look
and feel of your embedded video.

without having to go to the video watch page
to get the embed code.
Best Time to Publish.
This tool can help you identify the best time of day
to publish your videos or to go live on your channel.

to write the same response over and over again,

by having a quick response.
On the free version of TubeBuddy,
you'll be able to create one canned response.
Video Topic Planner.
This is a great way for you to be able to reliably save
and track all of your future video ideas inside of YouTube.
Now, whenever you have a great suggestion
from your audience,
you'll have a safe place to keep your ideas.

you'll be limited to a maximum
of five video topics and comment suggestions.
The Quick Edit Toolbar.
This list will contain videos that you've recently uploaded
and you can access them on any video page.

a separate site to copy and paste emojis
and for those of you who want to
make your title stand out in a fun way.

all of your tags in order of ranking.

for the tag that you have used.

or your description, or your subtitles.
