haha " rewatch as much as you want." that was a clever one. i like that. And I am sure I will because this video will be very useful in the future. What do you think about if you want to actually have an actual description as well beyond keywords, timestamps and links?
@KelseyRodriguez3 жыл бұрын
Hehe thanks! I definitely do use the description as a place to actually describe things and to put keywords in. I cherry picked descriptions that did use lots of keywords for this video, but you could also have the first half of your description be super informative and light on keywords (but why not put them in if you can?) and another description after the time stamps and links that’s more keyword focused. Cathrin Manning’s video descriptions are a good example of this!

Ok this video was LOADED with so much technical advice! Usually I feel like this kind of videos are way more vague and focused on a kind of "believe in your dreams, don't focus on numbers" kind of mindset. I wasn't expecting to be served with so much relevant strategy content. Thank you Kelsey! I don't have an art youtube channel, but you almost made me want to start one
@The_Open_Book Жыл бұрын
Literally the most informational youtube advice video I've seen in years. Other creators give you the simple "make content people want to see" but we all obviously think that whatever we're making is what people should want to see, they never go over the tools to actually objectively find out how we'll stand among the others. Thanks for the info, as always!

that research tab that shows you what people are searching for is the most useful thing anyone's every told me about growing a channel. Everyone usually says "do whats trendy" or "provide something people need" but this is so helpful for picking a direction
@NotEmi.3 жыл бұрын
Im actually thinking about starting a channel though I'm not really sure about what the theme is going to be. I'm leaning more towards videogames and art because those are my interests. I'll try to throw stuff at the algorithm and see what sticks. This video was pretty helpful so I think I'll use that extension!
@KelseyRodriguez3 жыл бұрын
I like that! You might find that having two separate channels for those interests would help you grow faster, but there’s definitely ways to merge those interests, like talking about the art style of the games, focusing on concept art, etc. Gaming shorts are doing REALLY well at the moment, so if you’re thinking about it, now’s then time to really capitalize on shorts!

Hey Bookish! I was curious so I checked out your channel and I think a huge area of potential improvement would be to try and work on your thumbnails a bit more!

Check out other creators in your niche that are on the rise to see what they’re doing and maybe give that a go!

So, I've got lots of editing to do today. I'm working on several Iceland/Sketchbook Videos and everyday I watch a youtube video while I eat my breakfast first. So today youtube offered me your "I'm getting off Instagram" video. (I'm guessing KZbin wants us all to abandon instagram/facebook for youtube, because I wasn't searching anything like that. I can't say they are wrong.) Anyway, I think this video (and your last) are fantastic for a new channel like myself. Right now I've got a backlog of footage I'm super excited to share so I'm not sure I'll be changing what I create but I will consider my titles and thumbnails more carefully. Also, I'll be checking out workbook and I'm now subscribed.
