Recently we made a video on 50 Youtube tools that will help you get more views in less
time.
If you haven't already watched it, you can click right here.
If you have well done, you're half way there.
Here's 50 more.
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.
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.
And finally, if you want more information on any of the tools featured in this video
