YouTube SEO is 100% built around, focused around keywords, search phrases that people are putting into the YouTube search bar.

If you do not focus on a primary key word, a primary YouTube search phrase you will not be able to populate to a new audience that is looking your content.
Get YouTube Tags
YouTube SEO step number two is to get YouTube tags, this is a simple process and it also helps you to make sure that you include additional relevant conversations that your primary keyword is talking about.

Finding keywords and tags first guides you in the outline of your video, the points that you want to include, and also tells YouTube what your video is about, and when they should show your video.
Make Your Video
Now it is time to make your video, yay!

You have a primary YouTube keyword, you have your YouTube tags, now you know exactly what it is that people are looking for on YouTube and you can help them out!

Catchy Title
A catchy title is YouTube SEO step number four. click through rate, CTR, is one of the primary factors YouTube uses to determine which videos to rank.

Want to rank higher than your competitors? Write a catchy title and increase your click-through rate.
Catchy Meta Description
the beginning of your YouTube description has to be extremely catchy as well. absolutely include your YouTube keyword in this beginning part of your YouTube description and when you can include a couple of your YouTube tags in the section as well.

It is more important to take care of a person, to steer a person to click through to your video then it is to stuff the keywords and tags in your description, but when you can use tags and keywords in this section absolutely include them.
Mini blog + YouTube Links (temi.com)
Next step is to write a mini blog, YouTube gives you 5,000 characters to use to include a description of your video. Yes that description is for people, but more than that it is to provide relevance to YouTube so that they have more clues as to what your video is about so they know when they should include your YouTube video in YouTube search results.

Same thing here include your YouTube keywords, include your YouTube tags, but make sure that it is a readable description for humans. Google is getting more intelligent as every week goes by and they absolutely know when you are stuffing keywords and not taking care of people.

You want to have more content in your description, so fill it up!
Catchy Thumbnail
YouTube is extremely visual and in addition to your catchy YouTube title and word description you need to create a YouTube thumbnail that entices viewers to click your video over the other videos ranking for your keyword.

Lots of tools to do this, canva is free, there's obviously Photoshop, I use a software called snagit it's primarily a screen capture software but it has very simple and efficient image editing abilities oh, and it's inexpensive!
Video & Thumbnail Filename as Keyword
YouTube SEO Step number 8 is to modify your video file name and thumbnail filename to tell YouTube in more ways what your video is about, I use my primary YouTube keyword as this image filename and YouTube video filename, way more optimized than mvie117379.MP4
Step 9 is to Upload it All, Woot Woot!
Watch, Like, Share and Comment!
especially when you are beginning your YouTube channel step 10 is super important, be the first watch of your video, be the first like of your video, be the first comment on your video, immediately after publishing your YouTube video watch it, like it, comments on it.

Then share away! Twitter, Facebook, text your video to some friends, email your video to your email list anything you can do to get more views in the first 24 hours especially help whenever you are new Channel!

Most important thing in YouTube SEO is that you don't quit, but you don't quit making YouTube videos, no video search optimization will work unless you make videos!

I’m by your side to help you stick to consistently making YouTube videos, and optimizing them better over time, grow your reach, and changing the world!
