Best Time to Post on YouTube for Your Channel Niche and Time Zone

by | May 13, 2024 | YouTube

Do you upload your videos and then set them to public as soon they are done processing?

Here’s why it pays to wait to post your videos when your audience is most likely going to see them.

Uploading and posting at the right time can really help your YouTube video get discovered. You want to give your video the best chance to be seen as soon as your video is made public.

For what days are best, it depends on your niche. If your niche is more about business, uploading on Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays are ideal.

If you are producing more entertaining videos, or longer content, weekends may be best.

 And as for upload time, the earlier is usually better.

I live on the West Coast of the USA so I have just accepted that I need to upload for Eastern Standard Time.

It can take some time to determine what works best for your channel and content.

Try different times and see how it works for your channel.

And remember, you can schedule your videos to go public at the time and day you choose in your YouTube Studio.

How to Block Trolls & Spam from Your YouTube Channel

by | May 13, 2024 | YouTube

Unfortunately, spam is everywhere, even on YouTube.

But there are ways to block spammers and trolls.

 When your channel gets popular, trolls and spammers can come on to your channel to leave spam with links to porn sites or trolls that leave rude remarks.

You do not have to take it!

Beside each comment, you will see three dots, which you have to mouse over to see the menu.

 Click on the three dots, and the menu opens up. You can report SPAM or other inappropriate material and also you can ban trolls from interacting with your channel.

In either case, the offensive comments will be deleted from your channel and in the case of the trolls, they are held in troll jail that you can access in your YouTube studio under settings and then community.

The three dot menus are kind of tricky and they are easily missed.

But as you learn to mouse over them, you will be able to access all you need to remove comments.

Why YouTube is King of All Social Media for Evergreen Content

by | May 13, 2024 | YouTube

Everyone is all about social media these days, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, etc.

But YouTube is not social media, it’s better. And here’s why…

YouTube is the BEST way to get clients for your business. Only YouTube has the benefit of evergreen content.

Evergreen content are videos that people are searching for. As long as you have great SEO – search engine optimization on your titles and descriptions and great thumbnails, your videos will continue to get views, likes and shares due to Google and the YouTube algorithm.

Contrast this  with social media, where there is a constant feed where you may not see posts if there are too many people you follow or not enough people like a post.

That is why posting to Facebook, Instagram and other social media platforms require constant posting in order to get attention.

Evergreen content is always attracting that search traffic and also monetization.

I have videos that I made several years ago and they are driving constant views and money through ad revenue to me every day. No other social media platform has the ability to gain so many clients and make ad revenue.

Each video you make is helping you grow you brand and your business!

YouTube Trolls – How to Deal With People Trolling Your Videos

by | May 13, 2024 | YouTube

This video is special! I have saved all my funny YouTube troll comments, from my Vocal Splendor Studios channel and I share them in this video!

Although YouTube trolls are annoying,  this video is quite funny! 🤣 

Once your channel starts taking off, you will attract trolls.

At first, you might be offended but don’t take it personally. YouTube trolls like to create conflict and leave rude and offensive comments on your videos. We all get them!

Some people don’t realize they are being rude and they can be redeemed. Or sometimes they don’t speak your language well enough. But that is usually rare. Trolls love to troll!

I have a three prong approach to trolls:

1. Ignore the comment. They just look bad among all of the positive comments.

2. If they use profanity  and/or they attack me or the comments section discussions, I ban them from interacting with the channel. They can read but they cannot post.

3. I now usually give them a clap back. If they troll my channel, I will give it back to them. Because they deserve it!

It’s like if you get invited to a party and someone complains about the the food and decorations in an insulting way to the host.  Who does that?

So in this video, I am sharing my favorite and funniest troll comments from Vocal Splendor Studios channel, which has over 81K subs and 18 million views.

It’s even funnier when the trolls come back and edit their trolling and how many misspell words and other funny things. 

 

Have fun!

Playlists can be featured on your channel page, video descriptions and also on end screens. Don’t miss this opportunity to get more views!

In summary:

  1. Increasing watch time is very important.
  2. Playlists give your viewers more options to binge watch your content.
  3. Playlists are easy to create.
  4. You can create as many playlists as you like.
  5. Feature SINGLE playlists on your channel page.
  6. Use playlists on your end screens.
