Hello everyone this is vidIQ.
Our aim is to help you get more youtube views in less time.
How do we do that, well sit back, relax and we'll show you 100 different ways we can help
This realtime stats bar will show you everything you need to know about your channel when you
are on any Youtube page.
Hover over the graph to show detailed breakdowns of the analytics and customise the stats bar
itself.
If you do a search on Youtube this bar down the right hand side is full of information.
If you enable inline keywords you can view all the tags that have been used on the most
popular videos for your search term.
The keyword score will show how popular the keyword is against how many videos contain
it.
If it's a popular term with low competition, think about making videos that target that
keyword.
Next up are top related queries to your current search term and rising keywords.
These keywords are a good indicator of what's trending on Youtube so definitely something
to keep a good eye on.
As well as related queries, vidIQ's search panel will also list top keywords for the
topic.
Hover your mouse over any of these words to reveal volume of monthly searches and the
keyword score.
Of course there can be hundreds of top keywords and we try our best... to list them all.
At the bottom of that list we'll showcase some of the trending videos for that search
term because Youtube doesn't always show you what's hot right now.
But if you want to delve much deeper into a keyword word simply click on it to launch
the keyword inspector.
This will show interest over time from the last 30 days, last year or all time.
Very useful for finding trending topics and evergreen content.
And one last thing on the search page is this handy breakdown of average video views, age
of video, top channel creator and much more.
On the channel page of every single youtuber on the planet we've added analytics that include
estimated revenue total channel views, daily average views, daily subscribers and views
and subscribers over the last 30 days.
Just below that you will find the channel tags.
You may have also noticed this trending tab.
This shows you which videos are hot on a channel right now as they are sorted by views per
hour.
As you can see, one of these videos is a month old but still getting a lot of views.
If you spotted the top keywords button good job because that's where we are going next.
This shows you the top keyword from all those trending videos along with two useful tools.
The first copies all these keywords to your clipboard while the second drills down into
those keywords to show you how often they appear in the trending videos as well as the
overall search volume of the keyword on Youtube.
Some pretty impressive insider knowledge right?
Well that's only the tip of a very large analytical iceberg.
Now let's introduce you to the video scorecard that reveals a wealth of analytics for every
single video on Youtube.
You can expand and minimise the whole panel down the right hand side or minimise individual
sections.
Let's take a closer look.
The overview estimates the earnings of the video, views per hour, engagement, how many
subscriber the video earned for the channel, average view duration and more.
All of this feeds into the vidIQ score.
For your own videos it will also tell you how your videos and watched and from where.
Important for deciding how you make your videos, for whom and when to publish them.
Engagement comes next telling you everything you need to know from a Youtube angle along
with other social media platforms.
The discoverability of a video is the key to Youtube success and our Search Engine Optimization
panel has loads of useful information.
You can mouse over many of these number to show more details such as the breakdown of
our SEO score calculator, traffic from other Youtube videos and embedded sources.
If you've ever wanted to know why a video is so successful or unsuccessful this will
tell exactly why.
You've already seen the channel analytics displayed on the channel page so let's move
onto videos tags.
This shows you all the keywords used for a video and where they rank on the first page
of any Youtube search for the keyword.
You have those tools in the top right to copy keywords or drill deeper into them, you can
click on any tag to launch the keyword inspector and if it's your own video you can quickly
add more keywords.
Incredibly this is just the first panel of the video scorecard.
We also have historical growth, social media shares and what videos are trending in the
same topic.
But we're not just about analysing your audience, we also build tools to help you engage with
your audience which is why we have the comment template builder.
For any comment on one of your videos you can use the vidIQ button to preselect a template
comment.
So no more copying and pasting from a text file.
If you have to respond to the same question over and over again or you just want to say
a simple thank you this tool enables you do it in seconds.
Oh and I'm sure you'll be delighted to hear this tool is available from Youtube's central
comments page so you can manage all the comments for you channel via the template tool.
Speaking of managing stuff let's move onto the video manager tools.
The vidIQ button seated next to every video includes a wide tool set.
These include setting a video as your featured video (this option is usually hidden deep
within Youtube's video manager.)
A copy card facility that let's you chose one, some or all the cards from one video
and then copy them to one, some or all or your other videos...
An end screen cards copy facility that does exactly the same thing for promotional material
that appears at the conclusion of your videos....
A social media syndication tool that enables you to send a Youtube video directly to your
facebook page within the space of 30 seconds and four or five clicks of a mouse
And last but not least there is a fully functional thumbnail editor where you can select any
frame you want from the video and then add text to it along with emojis, because who
doesn't like emojis on their thumbnails!?
A couple more tools before we more on.
At the top of the video manager page you can edit video cards and ends screens on a mass
scale and if you want to add some text to the video description of some, many or all
of your videos for a limited period of time (say for example, a giveaway) you can take
advantage of the bulk descriptions tool).
Now we all know the upload process can be intense so here's a few things to assist.
Character counts and limits are added to titles, descriptions and tags so you never go over
your limits.
You will also find an emoji inserter tool because if you haven't already established,
we love emojis.
As you continue your upload process the SEO score will dynamically update to let you know
whether you're optimizing your tags, titles and descriptions correctly.
And just below that is the upload checklist that lists eight important actions you need
to take during the upload process and after video publication.
Rather handily each of these suggestion include direction links to take the necessary actions.
In this case setting up your video cards
For for the final piece of the upload jigsaw puzzle when you use high volume tags you can
mouse over those tags for more information.
Further more if you have vidIQ boost access the lower section of the upload page recommends
other tags you should use, all you need to do is click on the plus button.
And if you're interested to know similar videos to yours that are trending those are shown
on the right hand side.
Have you had enough yet?
Nope, let's carry on then.
Two tabs vidIQ have added to the Youtube homepage are Competitors and Trend alerts.
The competitors tab allows you add Youtube channels to a list where videos are then sorted
by views per hour.
That tells you what videos are performing well for channels that you are interested
in as a Youtuber yourself.
The trend alerts tab on the other hand, let's you create a custom filter that lists trending
videos for specific keywords over a certain views per hour threshold over a set period
of time.
And what makes this tool even better is that it will email you that list so you never miss
out on content that's trending that's specific to your interests.
Let's return to Youtube now for a few more handy features.
The comment filter tool helps you pick out such things as questions, comments with positive
or negatives words as well as comments from specific users.
You can even bundle different criteria together if you want to search for comments that contain
questions that you haven't responded to yet that include positive words.
And if that's not enough, if you want to search for influential Youtubers you can search by
minimum number of subscribers.
At the same time as filtering those commentors it will also show you exactly how many subscribers
the commentor has.
These comment filter tools are available from both the Youtuber comment manager page and
from your individual video pages.
On the subject of your own video pages, you can click the vidIQ tool button to copy video
cards, send the video to facebook and create a thumbnail.
That same button on other Youtuber's videos only allows you to embed the video.
At the bottom of thumbnails you will see a blue red bar.
This shows you likes to dislikes ratio, very good for sniffing out clickbaity videos.
Below that is an engagement snapshot of the video and you can mouse over that for even
more info.
On the video card creation screen, once you've finished making your cards you can save them
as a template and load them into other videos saving you the hassle of manually creating
the cards all over again.
Now if by chance you don't like the realtime stats bar or the thumbnail likes/dislikes
bar you can turn them off by clicking on the vidiq button and choosing settings at the
very bottom.
Two simple checkboxes here allow you to turn them off so that your Youtube page will change
from looking like this to looking like this.
Now these are all tools that have been embedded into the Youtube website, but we've got dozen
more to show you from vidIQs own web applications.
Let's take look
Once you have the vidIQ chrome extension installed you will see this button in your browser,
click it and you will find two sets of shortcuts.
The first provides links to all the major Youtube pages so wherever you are on the internet
you can jump straight to where you want to be on Youtube.
The second set of shortcuts link to vidIQs own web applications, full of fantastic Youtube
tools, let's delve right in.
Analytics is our first destination with a wide range of enhanced Youtube analytics.
You can minimise many of the panels or move them about to bring the ones that interest
you the most to the top of the list.
As well as minimising panels some can be expanded to reveal more information such as the playlist
panel.
Now let's take a look at some of the analytics in more detail.
The best time to post panel tracks when your subscribers are most active on Youtube to
calculate when the best time is to publish your videos.
In this example prime hotspots are weekends and afternoons.
The trend analytics is good for taking a snapshot of your channel's general health tracking
growth over 7 and 30 day periods.
You will also find these three top panels that you can customise between Top Youtube
searches for your videos, most views from which country, most embedded views and most
video views over a 30 day period.
And if you've ever wanted a graph that collates Youtube views, minutes watched, likes, dislikes,
subscribers gained, subscribers lost and comments for each and every day all into one, well
you'll find it right here.
At the top of the vidIQ web apps page you'll find links to other tools so let's take a
look at the video page next.
Like the Youtube Video manager this lists important analytics for your videos but the
settings button in the top left hand corner allows you to add and remove statistics to
match your preferences.
Some of the columns will even offer suggestions such as adding tags where there are none.
If you click on a video, a panel to the right will sweep in to give you even more analytics
as well as tools to edit the video title and description, schedule a video to be published,
delete the video and so on.
Now if you've connected your facebook pages account to vidIQ you can look at the performance
of your Facebook videos too, which will be quite useful if you're sending your content
from Youtube to Facebook through vidIQ's syndication tool.
The tools just keep on coming with subscriber analysis.
This takes a sample of your current subscribers and tracks what videos they are liking from
other video makers as well as other Youtubers they are subscribing to.
It stands to reason that some of the content will be similar to yours so you might want
to go check these videos and channels out for yourself.
See if there are any techniques you could adopt or similar channels you can collaborate
with.
Naturally each of the these videos and channels include direct links back to Youtube.
Let's return now to the topic of search engine optimization because the next vidIQ web app
tab is full of useful tools.
Bulk SEO is first on the list.
This shows how well your tags are performing for a video by counting how many times a search
term has brought a viewer to the video.
Sometimes viewers may even be finding your video through a search term you've not even
added to your video tags so this is perfect opportunity to add that tag to your video
to help improve its discoverability.
You can also quickly edit your video title and description here to include words and
phrases from the most popular tags, and you can sort the video list either by best opportunities
to optimize or most recently analysed which is done on a daily basis.
Channel wide tags harvest all the tags from all of your videos to see how well they perform.
You can sort by any of the columns so it's interesting to see if a tag you use ranks
on the first page of a Youtube search for that tag and how many times your videos rank
for a search term.
If you do rank highly and frequently that means you're doing a good job within a particular
search term.
The last three columns calculate the score of the search term to help you decide whether
it's a term that's high in demand and if you can realistically compete with other channels
for that search term.
If any of the tags you see on this page are of particular interest you can highlight them
in order to copy them and if you want to see how the tags you use are shifting over time
you can set a period of time.
So you might see best ranked tags go up, search volumes go down, and how overall tag scores
fluctuate over time.
If the channel wide tags page focuses on your own tags, the keyword research tool gives
you the power to search for any keyword and see how it performs on Youtube.
You can use this to research, compare and sort related keywords, search volume, competition
score and number of words which is really useful for discovering longtail keywords.
This is the sort of tool that can help you build an entire channel and of course, a copy
tags featured is included.
For an overview of what content is popular right now the trending keywords tab is the
place to be.
These keywords and videos will change quickly which is why you have options to choose keywords
over the last day or week and which Youtube category to look at.
Alright this next tool is a monster so strap yourselves in.
Simply take any username from a youtube channel and add it via the compare channels box and
this will give you an instant comparison for all sorts of data sets such as views, subscribers,
average daily views, average daily subscribers and so on.
You can choose to look at this data as totals, cumulative or daily over 30 days, 60 days
or all time.
And things start to get really interesting when you add several channels to the mix.
We call this the competitor tool and it can give you an insight into how channels like
yours are performing.
So if they enjoy a sudden spike in viewership you might want to look at their channel and
see what content you might have missed.
We're not finished yet though because underneath the graph, channel snapshots will display
which way the channel is trending over the last month and below that you can see which
videos are trending for the selected channels as they are sorted by views per hour.
Also note that any channels you add to the competitor analysis page driectly feed into
the competitors tab on Youtube and can be used in trend alert searches
