I've watched a LOT of TH-cam advice videos. Most of them are filled with obvious, useless advice like "use tags." Thank you for not insulting our intelligence and offering some actual advanced strategies that help those of us who have mastered the basics up our game even further. Best TH-cam advice channel EVER.
1. Keyword (s) 2. Call to action + likes, comments, subscription, shares 3. Tags - 2 to 3 tags with specific words (1-2) 4. Thumbnails - avoid white/red/black colors 5. Description - write it as a blog post (100-200 words) 6. Video length - 8-15 mins 7. Parentheses (...) - details 8. Imitate tags and descriptions of similar top-ranked videos 9. The longer the better - use analytics to understand what hooks them up 10. Include the current YEAR in your title Thanks for sharing your research, great stuff!

Just started my TH-cam channel a week ago covering E-bikes and the latest in electronics. My first video showed up on position 9 and I have had over 300 views and gained 13 follows. Thanks for the tips I will implement in my future videos.
I have been watching for 6 hours straight, how to do SEO in TH-cam and within 15mins you simply shared more value than every other TH-camr out there together, thank you so much♥
Hey, Brian! Great tips, as usual :) I used almost all of them on one of my channels, and it grew up from 8.000 to 17.000 subscribers. Without posting any new videos in a while... And I see constant growth of views and subscriptions in TH-cam analytics.
Thanks Brian! 1) Put main topic in title 2) Add tags /Find similar ranking videos and use their key words (Right click on page: View page source) 3) Description between 100-200 words
Interesting. This video was originally uploaded in 2017. The title currently says how to rank #1 in 2020 (as of January, 2020). Seems like changing your title may be a good idea? Kinda misleading though.
Hi Brian I am working on posting my first TH-cam video but like you, I wanted to do some research on how to promote it first. I'm still struggling on what keywords to use and what exactly I want the video to be titled as. Personally I am going to start researching more about the videos that are similar to mine and start working on a template title/description. Thanks for the helpful tips and I can not wait to learn more!
I had been struggling with this concept on my own channel! Now thanks to your explanation, I’m going to implement it right away and make a video about it. Glad I subscribed to you
I loved how you brook it down, the example of copying the other guy's core message and just making it longer is genius. How did you just make SEO interesting?
A agree: all fifteen minutes are packed with great advice. No wonder you're at the top, Brian. BRAVO! And I will immediately put all 9 tips to use - plus the bonus tip. Thank you!!!
hahaha ... it was released in 2017 and title now says "2019" .... hmmmmmmmm. I've more than 1000 videos in my channel now and now I can spend 2 days every year just by renaming them .... lol
This is brilliant information! Thank you for such honest content. Watching your video, I realise how I've been doing it all wrong (strategy wise) despite putting out good and we'll received content. I'm certainly going to start with tip #1 which is work on my video titles :)
Thank You for this Video. I started my youtube channel a week ago. And i am amazed that it actually worked. I ranked First when you search this keyword "New background music beats non copyrighted 2020". ❤️ watching all your videos from philippines🇵🇭
Thank you very much for the detailed information, I'm wondering if these techniques work for old videos that have some age? Will this help refresh them?
I totally agree, I am SO inspired and I feel powerful knowing these tips.... If I remember them that is! xD But otherwise his thumbnails are satisfying to look at and CLICK at! :D
You are so far the real expert and non bullshit TH-camr . U blew up mainly because you are informative, non of the flexing ,non of the long intro . You are a successful TH-cam expert keep it up we need more people like u, not Dan lok
Thank you, I learned something that I don't know about how to write a correct way to the title, tags, and colors. I'm brand new so that's why I'm struggling a little. But I can see the light in a tunnel so, thank you for this video.
I open every single email from you because you publish pure value. I can't say that from any other email list I am subscribe. Thanks for the video. I am making a checklist to make sure I implement all of them on every video I publish
Oh man! you're a genius. Totally breakdown everything about TH-cam SEO. Thank you very much. Really helpful for a small channel like me. Have a nice weekend.
depends, if you have competitors that are more recent then just take it off. Depends the subject you're doing the video on, I'd research your competitors first. But I mean... we're here now watching it so him putting 2020 in the title works.
Great tips bro. To all starters like me; even if we failed let's fail successfully and build upon it till we make it. It's doable, consistency is the key. Its never too late.
wow that's awesome! my videos are ranking. thank you so much,I really hope this will help my channel grow. Do you know if uppercase or lowercase title effects ranking?
I have to admit I came here expecting to hear the same repetitive information. Great info and a unique perspective. I’ll be testing these with my next series of video. New subscriber right here.
5 Day Update: Note: These results are going to be a bit skewed as my niche is popular in Jan but my channel is still a baby with little search volume. Total transparency... *Thumbnails from my last 3 videos are now CTR Magnets (All suggestions applied) Love the look and cleanliness of them. Very different from what I was doing. They stick out from the competition. *2,891 Subs +52 *18 comments on video vs 12 on average (Hyper specific CTA) *500 views on video after a week vs 200 on average *Headline, description and tags all following suggestions of video. Overall very pleased with the tips and how easy they were to incorporate. I'll be back in 2 months with an update->{March 2018}. (Goal) 5k Subs in March. 10K by Jan 2019.

Hey My SEO man, I belong to the very poor village. I want to do something for my hometown. My friends and friend's son do not afford the fee for a digital marketing and SEO course. It is expensive and they have to come to the metro city to learn it. I want to make a Static chapter wise tutorial on my website. Chapter 1 tab, Chapter 2 tab Is it possible in WordPress? How ??
Hey Brian, if you add parenthesis to your title aren't you modifying your rank strategy for the title? lest say i found that "what is defi" is a great title but if a add parenthesis " what is defi ( 10 things you need to know) " wouldn't that modify my rank ? Thank you in advance.
By far the best video I've seen on this topic (and I've seen allot!) I'm a new You tuber and there's no much misleading and poor quality information out there, it's great to finally know how to manage TH-cam SEO properly. Thanks Brian, your the best!
Hi brian I'm Manish from India 3 months ago I launched a TH-cam channel and at that time I didn't know how to rank my youtube videos But 2 months ago I watched your first video and it took 2 days to watch all your videos of this and channel And after watching them I can rank super high competitve keyword easily I never comment with my main TH-cam channel so I'm sorry but thankyou so much Your seo tips actually works
Found you on google. (How to get more clicks on TH-cam) Started a TH-cam channel for my daughter to be able to still do something that she is passionate about since covid started. We had to give up everything since I am super high risk. She had always wanted to be a TH-camr. This has kept her motivated and creative. Thanks for the awesome advice for us that have no clue what we’re doing. Totally going to do keywords first. As I watched your video I would pause then go to the studio and implement your ideas. Looking forward to the rest of your videos!

3. Tags - 2 to 3 tags with specific words (1-2)
4. Thumbnails - avoid white/red/black colors
5. Description - write it as a blog post (100-200 words)
6. Video length - 8-15 mins
7. Parentheses (...) - details
8. Imitate tags and descriptions of similar top-ranked videos

This video was published on Dec 6, 2017. Is it still valid in 2020? 🤔
Why would it not?
Not only in 2020. I think soon this will magically turn in to valid for 2021!
well it works in 2021 as well.
Yes it is... Except the long video (14 min) part because of shorts.
Interesting. This video was originally uploaded in 2017. The title currently says how to rank #1 in 2020 (as of January, 2020). Seems like changing your title may be a good idea? Kinda misleading though.
Brian- include the year in your video title
Me- I clicked this video because it said 2020 in the title...and just now noticed it was made in 2017
Every video i watch of yours Brian, offers great advice, content and insight into digital SEO. Keep up the outstanding work.
Thanks Michael. 👍👍👍👍

BacklinkO and Neil Patel are my biggest inspirations to start Digital Marketing to the higher level
Ah! Your colour GREEN is unmissable! You are the MASK! Super Power TH-camr!😄

Poppy Do TV No doubt!!!

I'm doing the same! But for my Relaxing Music channel! 😍
Oh man! you're a genius. Totally breakdown everything about TH-cam SEO. Thank you very much. Really helpful for a small channel like me. Have a nice weekend.
I took note of all your strategies,will try immediately !
I liked the way you typed "This video is awesome" for video description.
Insanely value-packed. Thanks for sharing !
Brian Choi You have a lovely channel Brian 👍👍. Fun watching. New sub enjoying your video. Please sub back.
I love that this video was uploaded in 2017. Change the title date and stay relevant. Brilliant!
What is with the year in the title
When all my videos are from 2019 should i chabge it now to 2020 and next year to 2021
depends, if you have competitors that are more recent then just take it off. Depends the subject you're doing the video on, I'd research your competitors first. But I mean... we're here now watching it so him putting 2020 in the title works.
I guess if its relevant why not. I thought the same thing about this video but realistically it's still relevant today in 2020.
well this is a good chance to start milking the topic, instead of changing the title, just make a new video based on the same topic except put 2020
Yup. Look what what he did in this video
Great tips bro. To all starters like me; even if we failed let's fail successfully and build upon it till we make it. It's doable, consistency is the key. Its never too late.
Thank you. The point about length of the video is a great advice. Most people stress about audience retention more.
Ni vidiq ni tubebuddy enseñan lo q tu enseñaste en pura calidad. Gracias!
He: did you learn something new in this video
Me: Making notes from 2hrs of 15 min video .... Amazing video man 👌 hats off !!
Man this video is so rich! Thank you. All the tips were great but donkeys into unicorns was a great way to learn to analyze the retention graphics.
All of these - absolutely fantastic tips!
wow that's awesome! my videos are ranking. thank you so much,I really hope this will help my channel grow. Do you know if uppercase or lowercase title effects ranking?
I have been browsing through many channels that aim at giving this kind of advice, but yours is the REAL thing.
Thanks!
I feel guilty for having these useful tips for free!! (2018)
[True Story!]

Glad you liked it, Daniel. And thanks for the engagement signal!
Love this man!! I’m turning donkeys to unicorns 🦄
I have to admit I came here expecting to hear the same repetitive information. Great info and a unique perspective. I’ll be testing these with my next series of video. New subscriber right here.
I’m going to come back to this video in a year with an update.

Cool man. Let's do this!
5 Day Update: Note: These results are going to be a bit skewed as my niche is popular in Jan but my channel is still a baby with little search volume. Total transparency...
*Thumbnails from my last 3 videos are now CTR Magnets (All suggestions applied) Love the look and cleanliness of them. Very different from what I was doing. They stick out from the competition.
*2,891 Subs +52
*18 comments on video vs 12 on average (Hyper specific CTA)
*500 views on video after a week vs 200 on average
*Headline, description and tags all following suggestions of video.
Overall very pleased with the tips and how easy they were to incorporate.
I'll be back in 2 months with an update->{March 2018}. (Goal) 5k Subs in March. 10K by Jan 2019.
Jan 22 2018 and just hit 3k subs.
Thank you Brian, I've been looking for this kind of video. Keep up the good work!
Hey Brian. This is so amazing knowledge for the new youtubers.iam so inspired after watching your videos today.Thankyou very much for the great tricks for the new journey .Thumbs up 👍 you’re Best Teacher in 2019 👨🏫
It was really amazing! I am still shocked with so many amazing tips at once!! 😃
Is using multiple ( and ) for example:
"How to do this (FAST)(2019)"
Work or does TH-cam not like that?
MrGoatsy it does eg.
how to get more views (new 2020)
Why not enclose each word in brackets?
It seems you want to rank above TH-cam itself
Thank you!! Absolutely love your stuff. Incorporating your title-based advice first, but you have countless worthwhile tips for any video producer/marketer! Mahalo!!
Anyone noticed it says 2020 even though uploaded in 2017, 3 years ago
ya, i was wondering if he has powers to see into the future or if he just changed the title
@@miningchicken3244 🙄
Even more weird. It says 2 years here.
Hey My SEO man, I belong to the very poor village.
I want to do something for my hometown. My friends and friend's son do not afford the fee for a digital marketing and SEO course.

Hey!!! Don't give him any ideas like that! 😃😂 Amazing tips!
Title: 2020
Description: 3 years ago
misleading indeed
but the guy got our views AND our comments :D
Hey Brian, if you add parenthesis to your title aren't you modifying your rank strategy for the title? lest say i found that "what is defi" is a great title but if a add parenthesis " what is defi ( 10 things you need to know) " wouldn't that modify my rank ? Thank you in advance.

The bonus strategy got me to click on this video. The quality of the first tips kept me watching. Nice job and thanks!
Found you on google. (How to get more clicks on TH-cam) Started a TH-cam channel for my daughter to be able to still do something that she is passionate about since covid started. We had to give up everything since I am super high risk. She had always wanted to be a TH-camr. This has kept her motivated and creative. Thanks for the awesome advice for us that have no clue what we’re doing.
Totally going to do keywords first. As I watched your video I would pause then go to the studio and implement your ideas.
