- You're creating videos but they're not
getting any traction, what should you do?
Hey everyone, I'm Neil Patel
and today I'm going to teach you how to come up with
YouTube topics that rank high, get more engagement,
and get thousands and thousands of views.

Before we get started make sure
you subscribe to this channel.
That way when I release more tips
like this, you'll get notified.
Question for you, how many of you create videos
that get more than a thousand views on YouTube?
If you do leave a comment below with yes,
if you don't leave a comment below with no.
The first thing you need to do
is pick video topics that are popular.
It's not just about what you want to talk about
it's not what you want to film about that day,
sure you need to be an expert on
whatever you're talking about,
but still if no one wants to watch a video
on that subject you're not going to do well.
So how do you figure out what's popular?
Well you want to head over to Ubersuggest
and type in keywords related to your industry.
The second step is you need to click on keyword ideas.
On Ubersuggest, you're going to get a list of all these
keywords that are related to your own industry.
You're going to see similar keywords and related keywords.
Similar keywords are other long tail variations
of the keyword that you just typed in.
I want you to click on related.
This shows you all the other keywords that are relevant,
but yet not the same keyword that you just typed in.
Look for the keywords that are really popular.
The popular ones are the ones that are going to get you
the most views, that's what people are looking for.
The third step is take that popular keyword
and then re-enter it into Ubersuggest.
Now you'll get other keywords that are similar
to that popular keyword,
and other variations of it.
Now, the fourth step.
I want you to create a video on that topic.
You don't just have the keyword
you also have other similar related keywords.
So when you create a video on that topic
let's say it's Digital Marketing,
you could mention Digital Marketing,
SEO, pay per click advertising,
social media marketing, you get the point.
When you mention all these keywords within your video,
within the title, within the description,
you're going to start getting more views.
'Cause now you didn't just create any video
you created a video on a popular subject.
Now that you've created your video and you upload it
to YouTube I already mentioned,
include those keywords within the title and description
but what you also need to do is upload a SRT file
you can get it from Rev.com, they'll transcribe
your video for you, I believe it's a dollar per minute.
And what it'll do is when you upload that file into YouTube,
they'll say, "Oh now we know
what this video is about and we'll rank it higher."
What most people are like is, "Oh no, YouTube automatically
creates the transcriptions for me I just click a button."
Well you know what the automatic versions won't help you
rank as high, you got to go to services like Rev.com
which is fast and cheap and use them
so that way your video can rank higher.
And the last thing I want you to do
is go and put in competitors into Ubersuggest.
So yeah you already know what industry you're in.
Google them, look at the most popular websites,
take those URLs of those competitors,
put them into Ubersuggest.
This will show you a traffic overview report
click on top pages and you'll see their most popular
pieces of content, where they're getting
the most traffic from, it'll show you
under estimated visits, that column there.
When you click on view all you'll see all
the keywords that drive traffic to that post.
That's a text based piece of content generally speaking.
I want you to go and also to replicate this whole process,
but now do it based off this popular article, right?
So the first time we were creating videos
based off of keywords, you also want to create videos
based off of popular text based pieces of content
'cause if that text based piece of content was popular,
a video version is usually popular as well, it'll rank high,
get a ton of engagement, and get a ton of views.
You follow that whole process you'll start crushing YouTube.
