Ok, so you want to rank your videos on Youtube and of course who wouldn’t want their videos ranking at the top of the Youtube search results!

By being in the top placements you get more exposure, more people are likely to view your content and subscribe and more people are likely to engage with your content as well which will keep you at the top of the Youtube search results!

The question then becomes how do you rank at the top of the Youtube search engines consistently?

Well there are three key factors of ranking at the top of the search engines…

They are 1. Using keywords in your tags, description and video title

2. Create and use an engaging and curiousity based description and title

3. Get your audience to take action

1. Using keywords in your tags, description and video title

Well the quick and dirty way to quickly rank your video is by using keywords in your title, description and tags.

I’ll show you a real world example! You see I made a video and I wanted to rank for the keyword “Is Clickbank a scam” I put this keyword in my title, in my tags and in my description. So make sure you repeatedly use your keyword or some variation of your keyword in these three areas.

Now with keywords you want to make sure that you don’t choose an extremely competitive keyword where thousands or hundreds of thousands of people are also wanting to use the exact same keyword. An example of a super popular keyword would be like “How to make money online”….

But how do you know how competitive a keyword is?

That is great question and the answer is by using Keyword Tools like TubeBuddy. With Tubebuddy it instantly tells you how competitive a keyword is well… instantly! All you do is type in the keyword you think you want to try to use for your video and TubeBuddy will tell you how competitive it will be to rank for that specific keyword.

But if you don’t want to give up trying to use that keyword even though it’s super popular then you can always try being more specific. For example, if I wanted to rank for the keyword “ How to make money online” but I know this keyword has a lot of competition I can create something called a long tailed keyword which basically means I add more description to the main keyword.

For example instead of using the keyword “How to make money online” I can add onto it and say something like “How to make money online in 2020”. By being more specific I will have less competition and have a better chance to rank on the Youtube search engines.

2. Create and use an engaging and curiosity based description and title
