#YouTube #videos #keywordresearchRegister your profile on the #IIDM™ website.

The more people #watch your #videos, the more #YouTube is likely to surface them in their #search or #recommendation features. #YouTube explains further: “now when we suggest #videos, we focus on those that increase the amount of time that the #viewer will spend watching #videos on #YouTube, not only on the next #view but also successive #views thereafter.” results.

1.Start with an awesome intro The first step is to hook your #audience. Grab their attention in a flash- that’s what #Google itself preaches too. The first 15 sec are your saving grace to make it happen.

2. Break the #video into chapters Like chapters in books, #YouTube’s chapters make things easier for #viewers to better understand what will come next. Think about how to break up your #videos into segments. Each chapter should have a compelling intro moment followed by an intriguing narrative. Outlines can be useful in this process.

3. Include pattern interrupt Whether your #viewers stick around or leave in droves boils down to one thing – engagement. Interrupting patterns makes that more likely. When similar images and narratives repeat, people get bored, and the bounce #rate climbs.

4. Do #keywordresearchYou can’t escape the value of #keywords just because it’s #video. As you develop #contentideas, make sure to do simple #keywordresearch specifically for #YouTube, the second-largest #searchengine in the world. Head over to a tool like #keywordtool Or you can do a competitive analysis. #Research your top five to seven competitors and see what they are doing on #YouTube, from their tags and #keywords to the #content they deliver. Read the comments under their videos.

5. Tell stories storytelling works for #viewers who want to be entertained and those who want to learn. Explore how to convey your story in a unique and interesting way that your #viewers will appreciate (i.e., keep watching). Tip: no matter how long the #video, think of it as a story both in the narrative and on-camera presentation.

6. #CollaboratePartner with like-minded people who share a similar vision and purpose as your #brand to tell their stories. Tip: treat these partnerships as #collaborations, not #influencermarketing. The latter is all about getting new eyeballs on a product or service. Guest #collaborations are more likely to create a feeling of shared values or feel authentic.

7. Create longer #videosA #shortervideo needs a bigger #viewership to get the same total watch time as a #longervideo with fewer #viewers. Tip: Think about how to extend some of your existing but underperforming #shortvideos. Once you publish the #longervideo, make those #shortvideos private or delete them altogether.

8. Use #YouTubeanalyticsExamining your #YouTubeanalytics lets you get an awesome insight into both the micro and macro #views of your #videos and your channel. You can see #viewership in days, times, etc. Then, you can go back and see the #content around those timestamps to assess what might not be working. You can take that information to revise those #videos and to improve future #videos. Increase your #viewers’ watch time Enhancing your watch time is a surefire way to be more attractive to #YouTube’s algorithm. As a result, your videos are more likely to surface in recommendations and #searchresults. It may take some time to implement everything, but you should start to see a healthy spike when you work on them one by one.
