One way to find out what your audience likes is to use the auto suggest feature from YouTube
or Google.

to where you want to go.

make a plan to upload videos on a regular basis.
Create a series of videos around one topic For example if your seed keyword is dog training,
then create a series of videos that are related to dog training.
Create playlists containing related videos For example a sub topic of dog training may
be “how to stop your dog from biting” Place all the videos related to this topic
in a playlist so that viewers will continue watching several videos in a row.

Create engaging videos YouTube rewards videos that have a high retention
rate which means that viewers watch the video all the way through.

an end screen annotation.
Don’t just tell viewers to subscribe but give them a reason why they should subscribe.

YouTube or Google search, then make sure you include your main keywords in the title, description
and tags.
Also upload a transcription of your video content so people who can’t hear or understand
what you are saying will be able to grasp your content.

watching more of your videos.
