Should You Use 2025 in Your YouTube Titles!
Having a great title is important to get views on your YouTube videos.
One trick can be to add the year in your title and your content. But it can also have some disadvantages.
In this short video, I will explain my approach to this and when I do and when I do not use the year in the title and in the content of my YouTube videos.
Please feel free to share how you do it in the comments below.

Hi Mikael - I prefer to mention it to show the relevance now, especially if you publish daily. There's no right or wrong here.

That can also be great but my point is that when it comes to YouTube you never really know which videos might take off. And if a video ends up going viral and you mention the year, it will stop it once it is not that year anymore.
I for example has a video that a bit unexpectedly went viral a couple of years ago and it still get tons of views and has 1.7 million views in total. If I had mentioned the year in it, it would have stopped being relevant and it would have stopped spreading.
But as I also mentioned, I do mention the year in some videos where I know it will be necessary to do another next year, but often, I do not specifically mention it because of what I just mentioned above.
