Good work <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/33771/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="33771" data-username="@Fox">@Fox</a>. Love the thread itself, even though I've not watched all the videos. It's everything a progress thread should have ... breadcrumbs for others to follow, an insight into what you're doing and why rather than just how-to steps. It's great to follow-along.<br />
<br />
For anyone else reading, take note that <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/33771/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="33771" data-username="@Fox">@Fox</a> is not proclaiming to be an expert at YouTube. He's confident enough to show himself making it up as he goes along. Also note how others are happy to help because he's <i>adding value first</i>, AND because he's listening and responding positively to feedback. There's some big lessons in there folks.<br />
<br />
There's a lot of wisdom in the phrase: "People listen to experts, they follow leaders." (Dan Gallipoo aka Doberman Dan)<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm not a YouTube expert, but went through a couple of Udemy courses a year or so ago.<br />
Here's what I remember, but either didn't get round to doing, or didn't test:<br />
<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Create your own tag and use it for all your videos so that hopefully YouTube will show one of your own videos after your own. E.g. foxtag12345<br />
<br />
</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Paying for views can help with organic views. YouTube gets to see if people watch them all the way through, giving them a clue whether the video is relevant to the keyword it was found for. Those views could be super cheap from some country with very low cost-per-view ... and it will still help. (I've no idea if this is all true, but it makes sense).<br />
<br />
</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Those closed captions really help, not just for <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/20899/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="20899" data-username="@jpanarra">@jpanarra</a>, but for SEO. (Which reminds me I need to add them to the latest video I dropped in here... and <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/20899/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="20899" data-username="@jpanarra">@jpanarra</a> linked to some documentation on doing that.) <br />
<br />
</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Other stuff that I can't remember ... I'll dig out my notes.</li>
</ol><br />
Someone who's prolific on YouTube is Jerry Banfield (<a href="https://jerrybanfield.com/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="noopener">Will You Join Me, Jerry Banfield, at JerryBanfield.com?</a>).<br />
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">He's a kinda earnest guy but interesting and churns out the content.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">He's big into Steemit at the moment, but had plenty of Facebook courses and probably has YouTube videos as well, oh and lots of gaming and self-development videos too. He seems to have incorporated daily video recording into his life. Totally different style to yours <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/members/33771/" class="username" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" data-user-id="33771" data-username="@Fox">@Fox</a>... but maybe someone worth just checking out to see what he does, why and how.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">He also had about 2,000 videos up on Udemy too before they banned him and he switched to Slideshare (<a href="https://jerrybanfield.com/udemy/" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="noopener">Udemy Course Coupons + Promo Codes by Jerry Banfield</a> << scroll down a bit for his wee announcement)</li>
</ul><br />
