Description

Are you wondering how to elevate your business virtually through Lockdown 3.0? Join Gordon today as he and YouTube expert David Walsh discuss how you can achieve great things for you and your business and reach the masses. Discover how increasing your average watch time can boost your overall rankings, how to make a profit from YouTube and how to utilise YouTube Shorts to make your channel blow up.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• YouTube is owned by Google and therefore it gets ranked highly on the Google search engine. YouTube is also the most used video platform and is a popular choice for people who want to learn new skills quickly and cheaply.

• Since Lockdown 1.0 many martial arts club owners have decided to produce free Zoom content as they did not envision the lockdown to continue for this long. You can utilise YouTube to create free content which will eventually lead more people to your services. You can also charge for full lessons by providing them with links to unlisted videos.

• The most important element of your YouTube channel is your average watch time. This is how long that somebody stays and views your video. When you have good watch time on a video you will get ranked higher, even higher than older channels. Newer videos often rank higher than older videos because it is more recent content.

• YouTube has now introduced YouTube Shorts, a platform similar to TikTok. You can upload 60-second clips to your channel. If you do that every day for 30 days your channel will gain momentum and grow tremendously. People are currently loving shorts and therefore this a great way to boost your engagement.

• YouTube has three types of metadata; Title; Description and Tags. Tags are short keyword phrases about your video which will give YouTube an idea about what your video is about. Tags mainly work during the first 24-48 hours of your video being live. YouTube will then see how people are responding when they watch your video and this will decide how to rank it.

“The longer you can keep people on your video, the more YouTube is going to pump you out in front of more and more people.”
