How do you get more views on YouTube? Well, we went from 2,000 to 10,000 subscribers in one year. And here's the first of 10 tools that we use to do it. First, aside from entertainment, what is one of the top reasons that people use YouTube? To figure out how to do something. So, those are the types of videos we make. But how do people find our videos amongst the tens of billions of videos already on YouTube? By knowing exactly how they're searching for it and building the videos around that. Check this out. Our top long form video got over 266,000 views and it's because I searched how to Mac and this tool showed me that over 11,000 people a month were searching for the related phrase how to clear system data on Mac. So I used that phrase in the first line of my video, in the video title, in the video description, in the video tags, and I built my thumbnail around that. But was it just a coincidence that it worked so well? Well, here's the number one way that people found my video. By searching for how to clear system data on Mac. I'll link the Vid IQ tool so you can try it out. But subscribe to join us tomorrow when we drop the second tool that helped us reach 10,000 subscribers.
We're Justin and Megan. Along with the how-tos, we share a few minutes of faith every day from the season we're walking through right now.
