And here’s the deal: Goals give you structure and a plan but sometimes unexpected things come up or we decide to go into another direction. It’s all okay.

Suggested Goals for Starting a Channel:

1. Get clear on your niche and figure out who would be interested in your content. When you are clear about what kind of people would love to consume your content, it’s much easier to plan and create videos.
2. Just get started. Don’t obsess over being perfect. Start uploading and you will learn as you go.
3. Commit to uploading regularly, ideally once a week. 

Suggested Goals for Growing a Channel:

Are you frustrated with your channel’s slow growth? Maybe it’s not about your content but how you are labeling your videos.

This video explains how to up your game so your videos get found by your ideal subscribers.

Keywords are key for getting found on YouTube.  The way to grow your channel and get more views is by creating Titles for your YouTube videos that use words that your viewers and subscribers are searching for.

By researching and choosing the keywords that describe your video content, you will be more able to be found on search, which is how you grow your YouTube channel. This concept is also called YouTube SEO, which means Search Engine Optimization.

YouTube is a search engine. It is NOT social media. Many people misunderstand this very important concept. The way you grow your channel is through search so you can reach new viewers.

If you are NOT using keywords in your titles, descriptions and tags that describe your video’s content, you will not show up on the search!

Titles like: mastermind, conference, round table, business names, dates and other like words will not be searchable for people looking for answers to their questions.  

If you want to grow your channel beyond your friends, colleagues and clients, you need to devote time to research your keyword strings on Google, Adsense or Tubebuddy so you can find the best keyword rich titles for your video.

And then you need to add those keywords in the description and tags. Yes, it takes extra time to do research but the reward is having a channel that has a greater reach with new peopleand new clients constantly finding and subscribing to your channel.

In this video you will learn:

• Why so many channels fail to grow
• YouTube is a search engine
• YouTube success requires SEO – Search Engine Optimization
• How to find keywords for your video
• How to research your keyword titles in Google or Tubebuddy
• Why you need keywords in your title, description and tags
