- I'm gonna tell you the specific features
inside of TubeBuddy that can help
you grow your YouTube channel.
And we're starting right now.
(hip hop music)
What is going on?
My name is Nick from tubertools.com
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.
A very common question that I get is,
Nick, can TubeBuddy really help me grow my YouTube channel?
Yes it can, and I'm going to tell you exactly the features
that you need to make sure that you're focusing on
when it comes to using TubeBuddy specifically
to help you grow your YouTube channel.
The very first one is the TubeBuddy keyword planner.
If you're trying to rank videos,
it helps to know where you can compete.
And what I mean by that is,
let's say that you're trying to get your video
inside of YouTube search.
So where if somebody is looking for a specific thing,
your videos are gonna pop up.
The keyword planner is going to give you
insight in to what your chances are
for ranking for a specific term, based on the competition,
based on what's happening on your channel, and so on.
It's pretty awesome.
Let me show you.
If I use the Keyword Explorer for the keyword Tubebuddy,
it's gonna show me my chances of ranking for that term,
but it's also gonna show me the overall search volume,
how strong my competition for that term is,
and it's gonna show me how optimized
the results are for that term.
So, let's say that my score here is pretty good.
Another thing that I can do is I can click
on the related searches on the right column
to see if I can improve that score.
Or, in other words, my chances of ranking
for that specific term.
So, in this case I'm gonna choose TubeBuddy review.
You can see when I click on that,
that my score just raised which means that
even though the search volume may be lower,
I increased my chances of getting my video
to show up in search just by using
one of the suggested topics.
They also show you web searches and other video topics
related to this phrase so you can keep exploring ideas
and you can take a peek at the current search results,
see historical interests and so on.
So, this one helps you grow by making sure
that you're going for the right words or the right phrases
that you have a better chance of ranking for,
so you can make better decisions when you're titling
and writing the descriptions, and writing your tags,
or doing overall optimization for your video.
Next, is the AB testing feature for the thumbnails.
This one is awesome because it lets you compare
two thumbnails against each other to see
which one gets the best results.
And, since thumbnails and titles
are the first thing that people see,
it's their first point of contact
with that new piece of content.
Doesn't matter if they're a new viewer
or if they're a returning viewer,
that thumbnail and the title,
that's the very first thing they see.
So, thumbnails are extremely important
in helping you grow your channel.
For example, they'll show you where people click the most.
So, if you're targeting YouTube's recommendation features
and more people are clicking those,
then you may wanna go whichever wins with that.
But, if you're targeting search,
then go for the one that wins in search.
Or, you can just let TubeBuddy tell you which one
has the best performance overall and go with that one.
In a nutshell, this one's gonna help you grow
because if people are not clicking on your thumbnails
then your view counts are gonna be lower,
and if your view counts are lower,
then your channel growth is gonna be slower
and it's gonna take you a lot longer to get to
where it is that you're trying to go.
But, if they are clicking on your thumbnails like crazy
because you've figured out which thumbnails
they click on the most, then you're gonna get more views.
And when you get more views, then that's gonna give you
more chances to get more watch time,
which is gonna help you grow authority on your channel.
It's gonna help you get more subscribers,
because you're getting more views and so on.
So, if you haven't picked up what I'm trying to say here,
making sure that your thumbnails are effective
is extremely important.
Another one is their suggested tag feature.
Now, with their suggested tag feature,
when you are uploading your videos into YouTube,
and you are optimizing that video for search,
basically what I mean by that is,
you're writing your titles.
You're writing your descriptions.
You're putting your tags together.
You're getting all the stuff together
to make sure that you are giving YouTube
the best idea of what your video is about.
With the suggested tags, what's gonna happen is
when you run that, it's gonna say, okay,
this is the title that they're using,
this is the description that they're using.
So, we determine that these are the tags
that they should be using in their videos,
or these are the options of tags that they
should be using in their videos so that
they can also be connected to additional terms,
so that they can have a chance for ranking for those terms
or being suggested next to other content
that is also using those tags.
And the really cool thing about it is,
it will show you suggestions and you'll see some
of those suggestions and you're like,
why didn't I think of that?
Now, real quick, I wanna put a disclaimer here,
and I wanna let you know that even if you have
the perfect title, and even if you have a good description
and even if you have all of your tags put in there right,
if your video itself does not perform,
if people are not watching your video
for an extended period of time,
then YouTube is going to demote that video.
So, if they're not watching it or if people
are not engaging in your content,
then that can hurt your rankings.
So, it's really important to make sure
that even if you're optimizing your video properly,
that there's a bunch of pieces to the YouTube puzzle.
So, you have to make sure that you're putting
all of those pieces together,
and that you're not solely relying
on just making good titles,
and just optimizing your tags,
just optimizing your descriptions.
You wanna make sure that you're doing
all of the things, so to speak,
to make sure that once you get in those search positions,
that you can own those search positions,
or that you can stay there for a long time
and use those as a long-term source
of traffic to your channel.
And the same exact thing applies to the suggested videos.
If you are getting connected to
another video and you're getting a lot of traffic
from that video because people are clicking on your thumbs
and things like that, initially,
but you're not keeping people watching your content,
then what's gonna happen is the people that are
making videos where when people watch their content,
they're watching it for an extended period of time,
those videos will end up beating out your videos.
So, it's really important to make sure that you're doing
all of the things, and not just saying
oh, well I have good tags.
Because it's a lot more than that
but TubeBuddy's gonna help you do that
as well as a bunch of other stuff.
So, make sure that you go ahead and get it.
