1
00:00:00,150 --> 00:00:04,800
I also want to take a minute to talk about YouTube thumbnails, because this is super, super important.

2
00:00:04,810 --> 00:00:09,480
Now, one of the best things that you can do to increase your views, your subs and your potential revenue

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,120
on YouTube is create better thumbnails.

4
00:00:12,150 --> 00:00:17,460
Now, this is an older video and not an example of a good thumbnail, but I used to create all my thumbnails

5
00:00:17,460 --> 00:00:19,290
kind of like this with this kind of theme here.

6
00:00:19,290 --> 00:00:25,410
So they're branded since, you know, I've probably about a month or two ago, I've really been kind

7
00:00:25,410 --> 00:00:31,050
of delving into creating better, higher production quality thumbnails, and it has paid off in ridiculous

8
00:00:31,230 --> 00:00:31,850
dividends.

9
00:00:31,860 --> 00:00:33,870
Now, one of the best things that you can do.

10
00:00:34,020 --> 00:00:38,400
One of the most important metrics that the algorithm looks like looks at and we already touched on,

11
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,650
you know, session start in session stop time.

12
00:00:40,830 --> 00:00:44,880
But one of the other most important metrics is click through rate, right.

13
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:49,980
So how many times people click on your potential video compared to other videos like it?

14
00:00:49,980 --> 00:00:53,850
So if YouTube is serving me all these potential videos, let's click on one one video right here.

15
00:00:53,850 --> 00:00:54,090
Right.

16
00:00:54,780 --> 00:00:55,980
So we're watching this video, right?

17
00:00:56,370 --> 00:01:00,930
Well, what YouTube is going to do is it's going to measure your videos, click through, rate up against

18
00:01:00,930 --> 00:01:02,880
other potential videos that it's competing against.

19
00:01:02,910 --> 00:01:07,500
So if we go on to the side, let's hide this for a second, can we?

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:15,700
We had this there we go and we go to the side right here, right, and it's showing us, OK, 38 moments

21
00:01:16,030 --> 00:01:19,150
from from this soccer video, this soccer video, this soccer video.

22
00:01:19,150 --> 00:01:19,460
Right.

23
00:01:19,630 --> 00:01:21,850
All these are competing clickthrough rate wise.

24
00:01:21,850 --> 00:01:27,100
So how how many times people click on these as opposed to the other ones or other related videos that

25
00:01:27,100 --> 00:01:33,220
are being served in similar spots on YouTube is going to make a huge difference if 46 percent of people

26
00:01:33,220 --> 00:01:37,480
click this video and only five percent of people click this video, well, which video do you think's

27
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,770
going to rank higher in search results and suggested and thus be served to more people?

28
00:01:42,220 --> 00:01:43,470
The higher click through it one.

29
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:43,750
Right.

30
00:01:43,990 --> 00:01:48,610
So what happens is you get pushed up against like a video and goes against video B and you're maybe

31
00:01:48,610 --> 00:01:48,970
video.

32
00:01:49,090 --> 00:01:49,390
Right.

33
00:01:49,570 --> 00:01:50,780
And you have a higher click through rates.

34
00:01:50,780 --> 00:01:53,590
So you get suggested more than video and video B falls off.

35
00:01:53,780 --> 00:01:58,300
Then what happens is it measures you up against video C and maybe you have a higher click through rate

36
00:01:58,300 --> 00:01:59,980
than video C and video C falls off.

37
00:02:00,130 --> 00:02:04,240
So then you're getting suggested in all those video B spots, all those video C spots, and then you're

38
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,900
going to go up against video D, and if that has a higher click the rate, then you're going to fall

39
00:02:07,900 --> 00:02:12,280
off and it's going to take all your spots basically and your suggested views are going to diminish.

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,910
And that's how suggested click through rate works basically.

41
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:21,220
So one of the best things that you can do is increase your thumbnail, click through rate by increasing

42
00:02:21,220 --> 00:02:22,900
the quality of your thumbnails.

43
00:02:22,930 --> 00:02:27,040
Now, one of the things that I've been using recently is basically a group of templates.

44
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,620
And of course it's Roberto Blake's starter kit.

45
00:02:29,620 --> 00:02:33,760
I highly, highly, highly recommend that you grab the starter kit.

46
00:02:33,910 --> 00:02:35,700
I use it myself in all my videos.

47
00:02:35,710 --> 00:02:40,030
If you go look at my latest videos, you'll see a lot of different ones have the same themes because

48
00:02:40,030 --> 00:02:41,380
they're all the same templates.

49
00:02:41,380 --> 00:02:44,160
And Roberto Blake obviously is the YouTube that's very popular.

50
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,430
He he's a graphic design background, so he's very, very good at creating thumbnails.

51
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,800
And basically what it is, is it's like a it's it's a package of like it's a course and it's a package

52
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,910
of like 100 different thumbnails that you can basically they're just kind of like templates.

53
00:02:57,910 --> 00:02:58,150
Right.

54
00:02:58,150 --> 00:03:02,680
So it's not just one thumbnails, it's like a thousand thumbnails because it gives you the ability to

55
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,990
kind of plug and play different text into that that part so you can kind of swap the text out in a certain

56
00:03:08,350 --> 00:03:08,860
position.

57
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,240
You can also swap a picture out in a certain position, and it really, really helps you level your

58
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:14,370
thumbnail game up.

59
00:03:14,380 --> 00:03:15,520
Like I said, I use it myself.

60
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:16,760
I'm not just suggesting it to you.

61
00:03:16,780 --> 00:03:20,920
I use to Buddy and Roberto Blake's starter kit every single video myself.

62
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:23,080
So I'll make sure to link that on the side as well.

63
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,680
Those will also be linked both to Buddy and Roberto starter kit at the end of the course.

64
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,940
But enough on that.

65
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:33,490
Now, one of the other tips and tricks that nobody does that I want to give you is saving your video

66
00:03:33,490 --> 00:03:35,860
thumbnails as keywords, right?

67
00:03:35,860 --> 00:03:37,510
You're doing all this keyword research.

68
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,200
Why not save your video thumbnail as keywords?

69
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,050
So that would rank your metadata because that's what it is.

70
00:03:44,050 --> 00:03:47,380
If you basically what your your video file is.

71
00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:47,680
Right.

72
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:52,420
So what your actual video file is saved as when you upload it, not your title.

73
00:03:52,420 --> 00:03:55,420
What your video file is called is metadata.

74
00:03:55,420 --> 00:03:55,690
Right.

75
00:03:55,690 --> 00:04:02,500
If it's if your video file is also saved as potential keywords, that's also going to help you rank

76
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:03,700
for those potential keywords.

77
00:04:03,700 --> 00:04:08,470
Right now, if you're at your video, thumbnails also saved as those potential keywords.

78
00:04:08,620 --> 00:04:11,710
That's also metadata that's going to help you rent for those potential keywords.

79
00:04:11,710 --> 00:04:18,730
So in a perfect world, a video that or a description that doesn't have a video, if that's keywords

80
00:04:18,730 --> 00:04:22,870
and it's just like video one and a thumbnail that just doesn't have any keywords.

81
00:04:22,870 --> 00:04:25,030
And it just saved us like thumbnail for a YouTube video.

82
00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:25,300
Right.

83
00:04:25,630 --> 00:04:31,990
That's going to rank a lot lower than the same exact video that has the video saved as potential keywords

84
00:04:31,990 --> 00:04:33,310
like how to buy YouTube subscribers.

85
00:04:33,310 --> 00:04:38,710
1019 is literally what the video is called as well, and that's titled in your computer, same as the

86
00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:39,190
thumbnail.

87
00:04:39,190 --> 00:04:43,480
So one of the ways that I do this, to give you an example of exactly I do this is will go over to Cannava

88
00:04:43,690 --> 00:04:47,830
because I'm not going to upload Photoshop right now because it's going to take a while to kind of update

89
00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:48,250
and stuff.

90
00:04:48,550 --> 00:04:51,460
So put simply, if I wanted to name it like this, right.

91
00:04:52,450 --> 00:04:56,590
This is, I believe, an ad I was running or something I was throwing on top of one of my videos.

92
00:04:56,590 --> 00:04:56,770
Right.

93
00:04:56,770 --> 00:04:59,110
Let's let's pretend that this is a thumbnail that I created.

94
00:04:59,110 --> 00:04:59,380
Right.

95
00:04:59,380 --> 00:05:00,700
You'll see free training right here.

96
00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:04,870
So instead of naming this like YouTube video or free training, what I would want to go is I want to

97
00:05:04,870 --> 00:05:05,800
go ahead and name this.

98
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:08,410
The key words to the video is actually creating.

99
00:05:08,410 --> 00:05:13,210
So if this was about like how to grow as an entrepreneur, maybe I did keyword research and I realized

100
00:05:13,210 --> 00:05:15,280
like like entrepreneurship.

101
00:05:15,280 --> 00:05:16,450
Essentials was a keyword.

102
00:05:16,450 --> 00:05:19,540
So I would name an entrepreneur, ship essentials.

103
00:05:20,410 --> 00:05:37,900
And maybe then you know how to succeed as an entrepreneur printer with no money and no experience and

104
00:05:37,900 --> 00:05:44,020
how to escape the nine to five or nine to five boom.

105
00:05:44,020 --> 00:05:44,800
And I'm to save it.

106
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,150
Is that why am I going to save it?

107
00:05:46,150 --> 00:05:52,030
Is that because then obviously the firewall, the thumbnail file is going to be titled, is that someone

108
00:05:52,030 --> 00:05:57,850
I uploaded to YouTube as my thumbnail that's going to give YouTube more metadata, more information,

109
00:05:57,850 --> 00:06:01,540
literally, as you see right here, it's saved as entrepreneurship, essentials, how to succeed as

110
00:06:01,540 --> 00:06:02,980
an entrepreneur with no money, no experience.

111
00:06:03,280 --> 00:06:06,810
It's going to give you two more metadata, more keywords to potentially rank me for.

112
00:06:06,830 --> 00:06:07,090
Right.

113
00:06:07,090 --> 00:06:07,930
So that's a little.

114
00:06:08,460 --> 00:06:13,380
A little tip that not like practically nobody does that you can use to your advantage to rank higher

115
00:06:13,530 --> 00:06:17,040
when you're actually filling out your thumbnails and your YouTube description.
