- TubeBuddy is a browser extension that gives you
additional layers of efficiency, automations,
and channel management options for YouTube,
inside of YouTube.
But what happens if you step away from your browser,
or what if you're only managing your YouTube channel
with a phone?
We've got you covered.
Today we are covering the mobile version of TubeBuddy,
and even though I have been told to not tell you,
I'm gonna tell you.
There is a new version coming in the future,
so watch this space for an updated series of videos.
But today we are gonna take you through
the existing workflow of what it means to be able
to manage your YouTube channel with our TubeBuddy app.
So let's get started.
(logo whooshing)
Hello TubeBuddies, I'm Shelly Nathan,
the video manager and product expert here at TubeBuddy.
I'm so excited for today's video.
We are gonna be covering the ins and outs
of the mobile app for TubeBuddy.
Let's go ahead and get started.
The first thing we need to do is, of course,
install TubeBuddy.
So we're gonna go ahead and put up on the screen
iOS on one side, Android on the other.
Let's see how we do with this.
Number one thing that you need to do is go to the App Store
or the Play Store, and you'll search for TubeBuddy.
You'll see us with the little red icon
that you have come to know and love,
and go ahead and install from there.
After you've downloaded our app and then open it up,
we are gonna take you through a quick swipe through,
quick overview of what you can do inside of the app,
but I know for a fact that most of you are probably
just swiping and then hitting "Go", that's okay,
that's okay, I don't blame you,
that's why you have this video.
The first thing you'll need to do
is sign in with your Google account
that is associated with your YouTube channel
or TubeBuddy license.
Keep in mind that if you are on the free version
of TubeBuddy you may have a few limitations,
but if you're on any paid level of TubeBuddy
all of the restrictions will be lifted
and you'll have no limits.
So the first thing that you'll do is be able to see
all of the channels that is associated
with the login that you use.
If you have a brand channel that maybe you are a part of,
or authorized user on,
you'll go to the add a channel button at the bottom.
You go back to sign in once again,
it will show all of the brand accounts
you're associated with,
and you can add whichever one
you'd like to bring into the application.
As you log into the app, the first thing it will do
is give you an updated subscriber account,
and you'll be able to track that in real time.
Next, you'll be able to,
let's go ahead and switch to the comments.
You'll also notice that there is a little gear icon
and the little filter looking icon menu.
You can select that.
So if you want to you can filter out messages
that you've already seen or ones that you've replied to,
so you don't need to see those in the list.
If you do have a lot of comments
that you're trying to get through
this can be a real game changer for you
so that you don't have to have your screen
cluttered as much.
And one of the best things about being able to see comments
here as opposed to in the Studio app,
if you get asked a lot of the same questions
over and over again, and you have a canned response
you can access all of your canned responses
or even add new ones inside of the TubeBuddy app.
You'll just need to hit the triple dots
on the right-hand side of the screen,
and then it will come up.
Would you like to delete this comment?
Would you like to reply with a canned response?
And then you'll be able to scroll
through your entire list of canned responses
and select one and start it right there.
If you'd like to start with their channel name
as part of the comment to start off,
you certainly have that option as well.
One of the great things about the TubeBuddy mobile app
as well is, if you were to make changes here,
perhaps add something like a tag list or a canned response,
you're also going to see that change reflected the next time
you either go to TubeBuddy.com or log in on your browser.
So there's syncing between all of them, which is awesome.
The next thing you're gonna see are these milestones
along the bottom, of course we're keeping track for you
so we can celebrate with you.
You can have subscriber milestones, view milestones,
you can have all kinds of milestones here.
You can download the photo to your phone,
you can share it out to social media, which is always fun.
Tag us, we love seeing those,
re-tweeting you congratulating you.
The next thing you can see is the news.
Now, if you wanna see how many different places
we're getting news from, again,
go to that filter and you can add up to the six sources
that we have, or you can just decide to have one or none,
and you can get your news there as well.
Once you go to the main menu you're going to be able to see
things such as the tag explorer, which is of course,
one of the most popular features on the browser version.
You can still do that here, you can enter in a search term.
It is a simpler, modified look,
but it still does a lot of the same information.
So you'll put in a search term and you'll be able to see
the search volume, the competition
and the overall score still across the very top,
a lot of people don't recognize that's where it is,
but it's there.
We also have related tags,
we have auto-complete suggested tags.
You can highlight the different tags
that you would like to select,
and then you can even copy them to a clipboard,
which is really, really awesome
so that you can use them for later.
The next thing that's in here is the topic planner.
If you go to the topic planner you can actually,
this is where you keep that little quick post-it note
digitally of the videos that you'd like to make.
So this is where you can come in here
and just put in a new topic,
and again, this will sync to the browser version,
so you'll see it on your browser as well.
Okay, so here's where the canned responses are,
and you'll be able to go in there and add a canned response.
Again, they will sync to the browser version.
So feel free, if you want to,
you can still add a canned response here
and it will sync everywhere.
The next thing is,
if you wanna go to the community section,
go ahead and click on this little icon here,
and then you'll be able to go to our forums,
make sure you accept the cookies things
so you can get that menu out of the way,
and then you'll be able to browse through
all of the different discussion forums.
And then other than that you wanna learn how to use
TubeBuddy more, go to the our channel,
and you can go watch all of the videos
that are on our TubeBuddy channel as well.
Have feedback such as, I know,
hopefully you saw it in a story,
I've been trying to post stories, but, more puppy cameos!
I'm just saying if a lot of people
commented that on this video, maybe in the next video,
or the next series of videos
there might be some more puppy cameos.
Now let's go ahead and select a video.
So in here you're going to see.
You can look at your existing video tags
and see how they are doing if they're ranking.
Again, you're always going for that little green box
with a low number,
which means you are ranking for that particular keyword
that you've got in there.
You can also go through in your tags here,
if you wanted to edit, if you wanted to delete,
if you wanted to suggest or look for new tags
or launch keyword explorer,
you can do that in here,
as well as you'll find promo materials in here.
How often has it happened, where you're like,
oh man, I need that thumbnail for this video
and I need the video URL so I can make a tweet or, you know,
publicize it someplace else.
Well, in here you can actually
save the video thumbnail to your phone,
it'll go right to your camera roll, which is amazing.
You can also, if you wanted to copy the video description,
you can copy the video title and you can copy the video URL.
So if you wanna make a tweet,
you wanna make Facebook post, whatever else it is,
you've got those options right here under promo materials,
which I think is so great, Videolytics.
So this is where you're still gonna be able to see
how many views did it get, how many thumbs up did it get,
how many total comments,
and then there's some SEO information as well.
Are you using the specific keyword in the title?
That information is all here for you,
as well as this video report here.
If you wanted to, you can see I'm missing
a couple of things.
I should go do that, I should fix that, right?
And if I want I can even email myself that report.
So that is a super helpful feature
that we have here as well.
And again, under the promo materials,
while you can copy the URL from there,
you can also do it from inside.
At the top you can either go straight to the video
to watch it, or you can hit that share button
and it will go to many social sites.
If you are someone who is managing your YouTube channel
entirely on your phone, you may find that TubeBuddy
is the perfect companion to your YouTube
and YouTube Studio app to fully manage your YouTube channel.
I hope this video was helpful in showing you
how you can use the TubeBuddy mobile app
to manage your YouTube channel on the go.
Question of the day, what kind of phone do you have,
and have you downloaded the TubeBuddy mobile app yet?
Thank you for watching TubeBuddies,
we'll see you next time, bye.
