Plan a schedule. This will build momentum and ensure a variety of content to keep users engaged. A schedule like this is simple yet clear:
Deciding on your video title is important. Just like Google Keywords, Youtube has its own keywords. Therefore, do prior keyword research (use Google Keyword tool). Ensure that your video titles feature the common keywords users search for.
Descriptive titles are more effective. For example, instead of “New Product Launch”, use “Why Our New Product will be the Game Changer in the Technology Scene”.
Moreover, choose the right tags for your video based on your keyword research.
Lastly, pay attention to how you write your video description, include target keywords early in your description and make sure they are clear to users.
