1. Create Videos Surrounding a Single Topic =Keyword/Tag

Creating videos that explore a single topic using long-tail keywords, is a fast way to get more traffic and build your targeted audience. You can find long-tail keywords by typing in complete sentences that your audience would use for search. As you type, you’ll see Google or YouTube start to complete your sentences. These are the long-tail keywords that your audience is already searching for. Every one of these has the potential to become the title for a video. Use a keyword tool like KeywordTool.io, which is geared to YouTube, to find the most searched keywords in your targeted niche.

Why should you pick your keyword before you create your video content?

Keywords help you target the best information around a specific topic. They help use your keyword/s organically throughout your video and that helps YouTube know where and who to promote your video to. Once you’ve chosen your long-tail keyword, check out other videos that are ranking for that topic. See if viewers are engaged and leaving comments and likes. Use free tools like vidIQ and TubeBuddy to look at which tags they use (you can copy those) and see their analytics.

If you’re wondering how long your videos should be. On an average day, the top ten most popular YouTube videos range from 42 seconds to 9 minutes and 15 seconds. The average video length was 4 minutes and 20 seconds. The most successful videos on YouTube are typically less than 5 minutes long, so don’t feel you have to make a film or write a novel. Keep it short and sweet.
