Here are five things YOU should do after installing TubeBuddy to help you better understand our
tools and improve on YouTube!
[TubeBuddy Tips & Tricks Bumper]
Hello TubeBuddies, we wanted to help users learn what to do after installing TubeBuddy,
so whether you’ve been using TubeBuddy for a while, or you’re just getting started
we wanted this video to provide YOU value on both YouTube and our TubeBuddy tools!
Let’s start at the beginning with number 1, a very good place to start.
#1 Quick Links:
Once you first install TubeBuddy you’ll notice the TubeBuddy Drop down menu.
The quick links are in this section right here!
You can get to the YouTube dashboard, the my videos page, the playlist page, the live
streaming dashboard, the YouTube comments section, and your YouTube analytics, either
overall or in real time!
You can also use Quick Links for comments and analytics, and you can get there by heading
to the my videos page!
These quick links make it easier for you to dial in, and get to YouTube analytics quickly.
Let’s say you want to see how info cards on a video are doing, all you have to do is
click cards here, and quick links will bring up the cards data in YouTube analytics.
You can do this to any of the analytical points found in this quick links menu!
Quick links are a great way to help save you time and get you around YouTube quickly, and
give you access to more TubeBuddy features you can try!
Features like our 2nd tip.
#2 Keyword Explorer + Video Topic Planner
When it comes to YouTube the Video part is the most important aspect when it comes to
your channel.
When it comes to creating videos you want to have a plan, and or schedule so you can
plan out what you want to create.
With TubeBuddy you can do keyword research for FREE with our keyword explorer tool.
To get to the keyword explorer select the TubeBuddy drop down from earlier, and under
extension tools select keyword explorer.
This lets you see trending topics of the day based on where you live, and you can switch
which country you’d like to target here.
We're based in the United States so we’ll leave that selected.
The keyword explorer let’s you explore a keyword that’s related to your channel!
If you’re a gaming channel it’s the game franchise you’re playing.
Games such as Half-life, Portal, league of legends, etc.
If you’re a garden channel it might be the type of plant you’re planting.
For us at TubeBuddy it’s our tools, so we’ll type in TubeBuddy.
Here you can see our score, and we have a dedicated playlist on how to use the keyword
explorer here, but each of these keywords in the related section is a video we could
make and help our channel grow.
Although, keep in mind the free version will be limited to the first three results.
However later in this video we’ll be giving you a free trial link, so you can get around
that.
In the related section are things people are searching for on YouTube, and as we mentioned
earlier, each could be their own video if YOU want to create that type of content, and
if the score is good for you.
You can select which video you want to create here by checking in this box.
Once you’ve done that select this action button in the bottom right hand corner then
from this list, you can add a keyword to the video topic planner.
You should do keyword research to know if people are looking for the keyword topic you
want to make a video about.
You can tell here the search volume, and on some terms you’ll have a monthly estimate
of the search volume.
When it comes to search volume, ideally you want high search volume from a yellow to green
score.
If no one is searching for the content you made, that isn’t the fault of the TubeBuddy
tools or the video you created, there just wasn’t that much interest in it.
If you’re a larger channel your name could garner interest, but even then your video
would still require a good thumbnail, and a high impressions, and a good click through
rate.
Speaking of Thumbnails, you can do Thumbnail A/B testing with our next tip which is!
#3 TubeBuddy dashboard!
Get familiar with our website, more importantly the TubeBuddy dashboard.
To get there from the TubeBuddy drop down menu click on the My account section here,
and then click on the TubeBuddy Dashboard.
On the TubeBuddy dashboard, you can see your channel health report, Integrations where
you link other products and services and The Affiliate program where you can get paid to
help promote TubeBuddy.
The TubeBuddy Dashboard helps you see tools such as our A/B testing which requires legend,
but keep watching for those free trials!
Or you could earn money and FREE TubeBuddy through referring people to the TubeBuddy
Affiliate program.
Another thing you can do on the TubeBuddy dashboard is you get to track things like
the keywords you’re ranking for to inform videos you can make.
The TubeBuddy dashboard has a lot of amazing information, and if you’d like to see a
full video on the dashboard subscribe and ring that bell to be notified when that video
releases.
