00:00:00
if you're serious about growing on
00:00:01
YouTube what you do straight after
00:00:04
uploading a video is just as important
00:00:06
as a video itself now most small
00:00:08
YouTubers make the same mistake after
00:00:10
uploading every video they don't do
00:00:13
anything they hit publish they maybe
00:00:15
share the video once and then they just
00:00:17
hope for the best but that's why so many
00:00:20
new videos fail there's a reason these
00:00:22
four videos got over 3 million views
00:00:24
between them and that's because I have a
00:00:26
winning upload strategy so in this video
00:00:29
I'm breaking down the exact steps I take
00:00:32
after every upload to make sure all of
00:00:34
my videos actually get views I'm going
00:00:37
to run through my personal upload
00:00:39
process first then I'm going to give you
00:00:41
a couple of extra tips afterwards that
00:00:43
will help boost your overall Channel
00:00:45
growth so make sure you don't skip any
00:00:47
because there's going to be some things
00:00:49
in here that I guarantee you haven't
00:00:51
heard of before okay then first up I
00:00:53
want to talk about your video file name
00:00:55
now this little thing here has been the
00:00:57
center of debate for a long time now
00:00:59
some people love it but other people
00:01:01
dismiss it as completely useless now
00:01:04
personally I think it's a great little
00:01:06
way of getting in some really good
00:01:07
keywords for your SEO now what me and a
00:01:10
lot of top YouTubers tend to do is they
00:01:13
name the file name the exact same of
00:01:15
what the title is going to be for the
00:01:17
video or at least as closely as possible
00:01:19
as you can see here you can literally
00:01:20
see the entire file name which means its
00:01:23
data is being stored and used by YouTube
00:01:26
if you couldn't see it here I'd say yeah
00:01:28
fair enough maybe it is useless
00:01:30
but the fact it literally is right there
00:01:32
shows to me that it's being used and
00:01:34
analyzed by YouTube so it might have an
00:01:37
impact even if that impact is really
00:01:39
small so what you need to do is make
00:01:41
sure when you save your video from cat
00:01:43
cut or Premier Pro or whatever video
00:01:45
editing software you use just make sure
00:01:47
the file name matches your title then of
00:01:50
course the next thing you need to
00:01:51
concentrate on is obviously the title
00:01:54
now I'm not going to beat you around the
00:01:55
bush here guys your title and thumbnail
00:01:57
are the most important things
00:02:00
about your new video especially if
00:02:02
you're a new or a small YouTuber because
00:02:04
if you don't really have an audience yet
00:02:07
the only way people will click on your
00:02:09
videos is if your title and thumbnails
00:02:10
are good enough so these are really
00:02:13
important now your title needs to entice
00:02:16
people in and make them curious enough
00:02:18
to want to click on the video and watch
00:02:19
it it also needs to accurately depict
00:02:22
what's going to be covered in the video
00:02:24
like you only clicked on this video here
00:02:27
because I promis to give you information
00:02:29
based on things you should do after
00:02:30
uploading a video that's literally why
00:02:32
you clicked my title and for example all
00:02:35
of these videos here include an
00:02:37
important key word and basically explain
00:02:40
what the video is going to be about
00:02:41
shorts Vandy Barrett train algorithm and
00:02:45
bullet train which is exactly what
00:02:47
they're all about so when you create
00:02:49
your title you always need to include a
00:02:52
descriptive keyword both for SEO and
00:02:56
just to accurately describe what your
00:02:58
video is going to be about that's a
00:02:59
reason why all of these four videos here
00:03:02
did so well so if you copy the strategy
00:03:04
yours will too I promise you so once
00:03:06
you've smashed your title out the park
00:03:08
it's time to concentrate on the
00:03:09
description and there's actually really
00:03:12
quite a lot to unpack here so please do
00:03:13
listen up now your description is
00:03:16
literally an absolute gold mine for
00:03:18
helping the algorithm push your videos
00:03:20
out so here's how I always do it for
00:03:22
each and every video I post I basically
00:03:25
use the transcript for each video which
00:03:27
is pretty much just a breakdown of every
00:03:29
word said I always have this copied into
00:03:31
a Word document from there I open a chat
00:03:33
gbt and then I paste it here and I
00:03:35
basically asked chat gbt to write a
00:03:38
fully optimized description for me here
00:03:40
this is my last one I wrote here is the
00:03:42
script for my latest YouTube video
00:03:44
titled how to include SEO to make any
00:03:46
video go viral I want you to please
00:03:48
write me a one paragraph description for
00:03:50
this video that is fully optimized for
00:03:52
SEO I'm targeting new and small
00:03:54
YouTubers who are looking to grow their
00:03:56
channels who aren't getting many views
00:03:58
yet these people are not yet aware of
00:04:00
what SEO is or how it can help so this
00:04:02
is basically exactly what I included on
00:04:04
my video I tried to give chat gbt as
00:04:06
much information as possible about the
00:04:07
actual video and of course my viewers
00:04:09
too and then it gave me this fully
00:04:11
optimized description here that was full
00:04:13
of key words and 100% related to the
00:04:15
actual video having descriptions like
00:04:17
this will boost your views trust me just
00:04:20
give it a go now before we move on to
00:04:22

the biggest communities out there in
00:05:17
2025 okay then so once you've got chat
00:05:20
gbt to write you a killer description
00:05:22
you then need to add your links hashtags
00:05:25
and other supporting content so let's
00:05:27
just unpack this all separately so links
00:05:30
you always need to include as many links
00:05:32
as necessary in your description these
00:05:34
should be links to your other content
00:05:36
and links to stuff you mentioned in your
00:05:38
video like I literally just said you
00:05:40
should click on the link in the
00:05:41
description to join my Academy so I
00:05:43
always need to make sure that link is
00:05:45
included in the description but one
00:05:47
extra way to boost your watch time and
00:05:49
your views is by having links to your
00:05:51
other content in the description but not
00:05:53
just any links these need to be deep
00:05:55
links but what exactly do I mean by Deep
00:05:58
links well I want you to pay close
00:06:00
attention to what you see on the right
00:06:02
hand side of images I'm about to show
00:06:04
you as you can see in example one when a
00:06:06
viewer watches a video on the right hand
00:06:08
side you can just see other random
00:06:10
videos from other creators that means as
00:06:13
soon as your viewer is done watching
00:06:15
your video they're probably going to be
00:06:17
looking at the right hand side there for
00:06:18
a new video to click on to and once
00:06:20
they've clicked on one of these videos
00:06:22
here you've lost them for good that
00:06:24
viewer has now gone somewhere else and
00:06:26
they're probably not going to come back
00:06:28
however here in example too you can see
00:06:30
that the video suggestions on the right
00:06:32
hand side are now all of my own videos
00:06:34
so this means that the viewer can now
00:06:36
only see my video suggested here so once
00:06:39
they finish watching this video or get
00:06:41
bored and want something else they're
00:06:42
much more likely to click on to another
00:06:44
one of my videos here and start watching
00:06:46
that so let's say even just 30% of your
00:06:49
viewers do this that's a huge amount of
00:06:51
new watch time you're getting instead of
00:06:53
having them just click off onto someone
00:06:55
else's videos and losing them for good
00:06:57
now you can do this by creating
00:06:58
playlists listing all of your videos in
00:07:01
that playlist that's what this is here
00:07:03
it's just a load of videos I've included
00:07:05
in a single playlist now obviously
00:07:07
playlists don't just appear on the home
00:07:09
feed when someone first loads up the
00:07:11
YouTube app so you actually have to
00:07:14
actively nudge your viewers into a
00:07:15
playlist now I personally do this by
00:07:18
using a call to action in my videos and
00:07:20
descriptions I literally just tell my
00:07:22
viewers to click on the playlist link
00:07:23
below in the description if they want
00:07:25
access to all of my content on how to
00:07:27
grow their YouTube channels and it works
00:07:28
a treat the best way to do this is to
00:07:31
copy the URL of a video from the
00:07:32
playlist or just the playlist link
00:07:34
itself so as you can see here if I click
00:07:36
into this playlist I can either copy the
00:07:38
playlist URL or I can look over here to
00:07:40
the right choose on a specific video
00:07:42
click on the three dots and then just
00:07:44
copy this URL link so now when a viewer
00:07:46
clicks on this link from the description
00:07:48
they will automatically be taken to the
00:07:49
playlist okay that's links covered and
00:07:52
the last thing you need to do in your
00:07:54
description is add hashtags now for me
00:07:57
personally I always add anywhere from 3
00:07:59
to five hashtags some people do up to 60
00:08:02
which is the limit given to you by
00:08:04
YouTube but I personally just like to
00:08:06
add around 3 to five especially because
00:08:08
only three appear here now hashtags
00:08:11
these obviously change per every video
00:08:13
you make as they should accurately
00:08:15
relate to each specific video but for me
00:08:18
I personally always just include some
00:08:19
keywords and Search terms in there that
00:08:22
are as closely related to my video title
00:08:23
as possible so when you guys do yours
00:08:26
always make sure you use keywords
00:08:27
related to your video then of course
00:08:29
course we have our YouTube thumbnails
00:08:31
along with your titles the thumbnail is
00:08:34
the most important step of your YouTube
00:08:36
video your thumbnail basically decides
00:08:39
whether or not people are going to click
00:08:40
on your video and watch it if you're a
00:08:42
new channel and you have really poor
00:08:44
thumbnails nobody is going to want to
00:08:46
click on your video and watch it now I
00:08:48
always create three different thumbnails
00:08:50
and the algorithm will test all three
00:08:52
and pick the best one for me so I would
00:08:55
suggest if you guys have enough time to
00:08:57
be able to do that definitely create
00:08:58
three now when you do create a thumbnail
00:09:01
it needs to invoke curiosity and stand
00:09:03
out enough for people to want to click
00:09:04
on it thumbnail design is a whole
00:09:07
different ball game and I know a lot of
00:09:09
people struggle with it but for
00:09:10
thumbnail inspiration I always use a
00:09:12
tool called one of 10 because I know
00:09:14
that coming up with thumbnail ideas can
00:09:16
be really difficult but this new AI tool
00:09:18
makes it so much easier now one of 10
00:09:20
basically picks out all of the viral
00:09:22
videos on YouTube gives you a ton of
00:09:24
information about them so whenever I'm
00:09:26
stuck with the thumbnail ideas I'll log
00:09:28
in here and in the search bar I'm
00:09:30
basically going to search for videos
00:09:31
that are similar to one I'm going to
00:09:32
create so let's say I'm going to make a
00:09:34
video about barley travel I'll type in
00:09:36
barley here and I'll look at all of
00:09:38
these thumbnails from viral videos I'm
00:09:40
then going to use these as inspiration
00:09:42
for my next video because I know that
00:09:44
these videos have performed really well
00:09:46
so if I can use these as inspiration
00:09:48
hopefully it means the thumbnail I
00:09:50
create will also work really well you
00:09:51
can literally use this for any Niche
00:09:53
whatsoever even something like crypto if
00:09:55
you wanted to okay then so that is
00:09:57
thumbnails done as we scroll down here
00:10:00
of course you always need to add your
00:10:02
new video to a relevant playlist select
00:10:04
not for kids and don't restrict my
00:10:06
videos select no for altered content and
00:10:09
I always make sure to uncheck these
00:10:11
because I add my own timestamps so I
00:10:13
don't really want YouTube to try and
00:10:14
guess and they add their own for me and
00:10:16
then we have taxs again these are also
00:10:19
the center of debate when it comes to
00:10:20
how important they are some YouTubers
00:10:22
argue that they don't make a difference
00:10:24
but personally if there's still an
00:10:26
option here then they must do something
00:10:29
even even if it's only the slightest bit
00:10:31
of difference now a really quick and
00:10:32
easy way of generating tags is by using
00:10:35
a free tags generator just like this
00:10:37
just put in your title and it's going to
00:10:39
generate loads of SEO heavy tags for you
00:10:42
just copy them from here into your tag
00:10:44
box and then voila all done for you it's
00:10:46
as simple as that now we are going to
00:10:48
touch on subtitles but not yet that's
00:10:50
going to be done afterwards now I
00:10:51
personally don't ever really touch cards
00:10:53
because I don't really think they work
00:10:55
that well but I will always add an end
00:10:58
screen here now I use used to choose
00:11:00
this one here which suggests two
00:11:01
different videos to the viewers but I've
00:11:03
read everywhere that giving people too
00:11:06
much Choice often actually hurts your
00:11:08
chances of getting them to click so now
00:11:11
I always just click this one here which
00:11:12
is best for the viewer now all this is
00:11:15
is basically it suggests a new video to
00:11:17
the viewer when they come to the end of
00:11:18
a video like this it's super useful for
00:11:21
boosting views and watch time so you
00:11:23
always need to include an end screen
00:11:25
guys and always just pick best for the
00:11:27
viewer then once you've done all that I
00:11:28
would recommend commend under visibility
00:11:30
here that you select private or unlisted
00:11:33
before it goes live you should always
00:11:35
let it sit for anywhere between 2 to 24
00:11:37
hours before letting it alive so this
00:11:40
gives YouTube and the algorithm enough
00:11:43
time to gather enough data as possible
00:11:45
about the video before it goes live now
00:11:47
this way all the checks are done and
00:11:49
when it finally goes live the algorithm
00:11:52
should know exactly who to push it out
00:11:54
to as it's gathered all of that
00:11:55
information about the video it should
00:11:57
give it enough data to push it out to
00:11:59
the Right audience first time so I
00:12:01
always personally give mine anywhere
00:12:03
from 2 to 24 hours just before I click
00:12:05
live so after that once it's actually
00:12:07
uploaded and it's out there you're also
00:12:09
now going to want to add subtitles for
00:12:11
different languages because having
00:12:12
subtitles in different languages will
00:12:14
help foreign viewers to watch and enjoy
00:12:16
your video and they're much more likely
00:12:18
to come back and watch more of your
00:12:19
content if they can understand you so
00:12:22
all you need to do once you've ater the
00:12:23
video is go into it click on subtitles
00:12:25
down here click on this one that says
00:12:27
automatic captions and these are
00:12:29
basically the captions that YouTube has
00:12:31
automatically transcribed from your
00:12:32
video it's all done for you by the
00:12:34
algorithm but this does mean it can
00:12:36
often make mistakes so just give it a
00:12:37
quick read and make sure there's no like
00:12:39
misspelled words or anything in there
00:12:41
once you're happy then click publish
00:12:43
once that's published you can then go
00:12:44
down here and click on ADD language and
00:12:46
you have all of these to choose from so
00:12:48
make sure to always choose languages
00:12:50
like Hindi for Indians Indonesian
00:12:52
Filipino or whatever country you have
00:12:55
that watches your channel click into one
00:12:57
and then click on the pencil under
00:12:58
subtitles click on autot translate and
00:13:00
then click publish then you literally
00:13:02
have brand new subtitles for a brand new
00:13:04
language all for free and it will help
00:13:07
massively in retaining those foreign
00:13:09
viewers who want to watch your video but
00:13:11
can't really understand your English
00:13:13
okay then so once you've done all of
00:13:14
that and the video is finally uploaded
00:13:16
and posted out for everyone to see the
00:13:18
second it goes live I need you to
00:13:21
rewatch it now firstly if you haven't
00:13:23
yet I need you to set up a second
00:13:25
YouTube account and this is going to be
00:13:27
your support account every YouTuber has
00:13:29
this and it's basically used to give
00:13:31
yourself some extra views and watch time
00:13:33
so once a video is uploaded on your main
00:13:35
Channel open up your second Channel go
00:13:37
in and watch it straight away let it
00:13:39
play out in full and of course make sure
00:13:41
to give it a like and drop a comment on
00:13:43
it too this is just a little bit of
00:13:45
fully legal engagement boosting for you
00:13:48
it helps get your content off the ground
00:13:50
within the first 24 hours so if you're
00:13:52
struggling for views I would also
00:13:53
suggest loading up on a separate web
00:13:55
browser on your laptop or computer where
00:13:58
you aren't actually logged into any
00:13:59
channel and just watch your video as
00:14:01
well as this will also count as a view
00:14:03
and help bump up your watch time now
00:14:05
make sure whenever you do this that you
00:14:07
always watch it until the end this will
00:14:09
help your average view duration too the
00:14:11
next really simple trick you might have
00:14:13
heard of but you might have not have
00:14:15
this is where you can link your shorts
00:14:17
to your long form videos this is a great
00:14:19
little way of getting that extra boost
00:14:21
for your video now it's no secret that
00:14:23
shorts can bring in massive amounts of
00:14:25
views and YouTube has recently enabled
00:14:27
creators to link their shorts a long for
00:14:29
videos but I still see so many beginners
00:14:32
forget to do this so whenever you post a
00:14:34
new video I want you to go in and Link
00:14:36
that new video to all of your shorts on
00:14:38
my travel channel I would always go in
00:14:40
with every new Vlog I posted i' go
00:14:43
through all of my shorts and Link this
00:14:45
new Vlog into them so when someone
00:14:47
watches one of my shorts my new video
00:14:49
will be listed there and it will always
00:14:51
be offered to viewers to click on if
00:14:52
they want see more now obviously it
00:14:54
won't bring in millions of views but
00:14:56
it's just a really simple way of
00:14:57
cross-promoting your long videos and
00:14:59
your shorts and quickly getting a lot of
00:15:01
exposure for them now if you don't know
00:15:03
how to do this just go into your sh on
00:15:05
YouTube Studio click over here on
00:15:06
related and then select your most recent
00:15:09
upload so make sure to link every new
00:15:11
video you post to all of your shorts it
00:15:13
would definitely help just getting you
00:15:15
the extra few views now on the topic of
00:15:17
shorts if you're not yet creating shorts
00:15:19
you're potentially missing out on a ton
00:15:20
of new viewers it's well documented now
00:15:23
that shorts have the ability to bring in
00:15:25
huge amounts of views all of the biggest
00:15:27
creators on Youtube upload clips daily
00:15:29
and the latest AI tool behind it all is
00:15:31
Nexus clips now it's a new AI tool that
00:15:33
basically analyzes your videos picks the
00:15:35
best segments out and then creates up to
00:15:38
five viral shorts from a single video
00:15:40
it's able to effortly repurpose
00:15:41
horizontal videos into vertical videos
00:15:43
that you could instantly upload a shorts
00:15:45
it also has a facial recognition and it
00:15:47
can even add animated subtitles
00:15:49
automatically I use this tool for all of
00:15:51
my travel channel shorts and I got
00:15:53
millions of views doing so okay then
00:15:55
finally once your video has been
00:15:57
uploaded for a while I would suggest you
00:15:59
go through and respond to every single
00:16:02
comment you get good or bad especially
00:16:05
if you're a small YouTuber now for me I
00:16:07
get thousands of comments per video so
00:16:09
it's quite literally impossible for me
00:16:11
to go through and respond to every
00:16:12
single one but I do try my best but for
00:16:15
those of you who only get a few comments
00:16:16
per video you need to make sure you
00:16:18
reply to each and every one of them and
00:16:21
when you do just try to spark as much
00:16:23
conversation as possible so everyone
00:16:25
chips in and comments the more comments
00:16:27
the more engagement and that's a good
00:16:29
sign for the algorithm so that's it guys
00:16:31
