3 Important Lessons I am Taking Into 2020 To Improve My YouTube Game

There are three lessons I’ve learned that I’m taking into 2020 and I feel like they might help some others as well!

WORK ON ONE VIDEO AT A TIME

Throughout 2019 I over-saturated myself into not doing anything. I would constantly have ideas for 3-5 videos floating around in my head and I would jump back and forth between them and scratch my head on which I should do and it would result in me never actually making ANY of them. Narrow your focus! Pick ONE video and make it! Then, when that’s done, pick another (ONE) video and make that! Which leads me into my second lesson…

NOT EVERY VIDEO IS GOING TO BE A VIRAL BANGER

One of the biggest things that held me back from creating in 2019. I constantly kept flip flopping back and forth between so many video ideas at one time because I was trying to decide which would be the most viral, which would be the biggest banger that the most people would click on and I would end up doing nothing. Don’t expect for every video to be the hottest shit, sometimes, it’s just a video and good practice… just pick something, ANYTHING! and make it.

DO SOMETHING EVERYDAY

Force yourself to do something every day!!! Whether you’re filming one segment, editing one clip or writing one paragraph of a script. Allot yourself one hour or 30min and dedicate that time to doing SOMETHING that will progress you. You can spare 30min a day and it will add up.

Obviously doing more is better, but if you struggle with motivation, start small and just make sure every day has even a little bit of progress in it.

Anyways… that’s the list! I hope it sparks some thought or motivation or helps some people.

Good luck in 2020 everybody

How to Make Your YouTube Videos Go Viral

Look for popular videos that are similar to yours. Check the source code of the top 5 videos by right clicking on each individual YouTube page (select ‘Source Code’) press CTRL+F and then type in ‘keywords’. You might have to jump to the second result by clicking the little arrow next to the search bar.

Copy and paste all keywords (tags) of each video into an empty document. Compare them and then pick 25 (not 30!) of these tags for your own video.

Make sure your description, title and thumbnail all match the most important of your tags.

Example

Tags: polygel, nail extension, nail art, nail polish, nail tutorial, nail diy, …

Title: Polygel Nail Extension Tutorial

Thumbnail: Image with Text [ POLYGEL Nail Extension DIY ]

Description: In this #diyvideo I show you how you can extend your #nails with #polygel all by yourself……


By using the same keywords/tags as your successful competitors your videos will appear next to theirs in search results and as suggested videos after their videos. Which means you’ll get at least some views. If your content is good enough and viewers keep watching your videos the YouTube algorithm will notice that and you’ll catch momentum.
