YOUTUBE SEO (the lazy way to get more views on youtube 2020)

There are plenty of blogs and videos on SEO. But if you do all that research on everything about SEO, you’re just going to slow down your video creation process. You’re here because you quickly want to learn about YouTube SEO so that you can optimize your videos and get found on the YouTube search results.

The important thing you need to know about optimizing your videos is that you should include your keywords in your title, your tags, your description, and your captions (Google is actually able to scrub your captions for keywords).

Meaning, it’s better to get something done than to try to be perfect and have nothing. You don’t have to be too perfect when you film your videos. Just get it done. Here are 5 video mistakes you can fix in editing.

Did you forget to white balance before you hit record? Do you even know what white balance is? Nowadays, most cameras come with an auto white balance function, but some people don’t utilize it.

When you don’t white balance before you start filming, the parts of the video that are supposed to be white, usually have a yellowish hue to them.  If you don’t know anything about white balance, you can Google or search on YouTube. There are a gazillion resources that talk about it and how to do it.

White balance is one way to make your videos look more professional. If you make the mistake of not white balancing, you can always say you were going for a vintage look. Even if you didn’t accidentally do it on purpose, don’t panic because it can easily be fixed in editing.

Before you start recording, you can hold up something white so it’s easier to use the white balance eyedropper tool in your video editing app (I use Adobe Premiere Pro). If that’s not possible, you can change the color temperature manually. Read More “5 video mistakes you can fix in editing”
