Optimization

Ensure your videos reach the widest possible audience •Metadata •Thumbnail Optimization •Annotations •Channel Optimization •Reaching All Audiences •YouTube Analytics

Channel Experience

Just as you produce videos that you hope will retain viewers' interest for the duration, you will also want to create an experience that drives viewers' completion of a video to their watching more content from your channel. •In-Video programming can be set to appear for the entire video, at the end of the video, or at specific time codes. You can also set the duration for how long the image will appear in the video ***Track viewership and other metrics affected by these new features. Make sure your timing and placements are not negatively affecting watch-time, retention, viewership, or other important metrics.

Metadata

Metadata is the information that surrounds your video: Title, Tags, and Description •YouTube is the world's 2nd largest search engine •Metadata informs the YouTube algorithm of a video's content, indexing it for search, promotion, related videos, and ad-serving. •Provides viewers context for a video before, during, and after they watch. •Use keyword-generating tools to help you find relevant and compelling keywords for your metadata.

Tent Pole Programming

Tent-pole events are the cultural events that promotion, sponsors/advertisers, and viewing trends orbit around throughout the year. •Discovery channel has Shark Week every year •Scary movies get released near Halloween •Talk shows have relationship experts on the week before Valentine's Day **Release tent-pole related content at least several days prior to the event. The weeks leading up to an event, 'the pre-buzz,' is just as important as the date of the actual event, maybe even more important.

Thumbnail Optimization

Thumbnails, along with your video title, act as mini marketing posters for your content •Clear, in-focus, hi-resolution (640px x 360px min., 16:9 aspect ratio) •Bright, high-contrast •Close-ups of faces •Visually compelling imagery •Well-framed, good composition •Foreground stands out from background •Looks great at both small and large sizes. •Accurately represents the content.

Channel Optimization

When setting up and optimizing your channel page, you should be thinking about visual branding, channel metadata, and channel organization. Templates, Modules, and Layout •Each channel template highlights different types of content. •Overview - highlights sets of content with shelves. Shelves are used to help you organize content - by "Popular Uploads," "Recent Uploads," or "Likes" - on your channel. •Blogger - focuses on recent uploads or a featured playlist. This is best for creators who upload one type of serial content or want viewers to find most recent content first. •Choose the right template for your channel to create the best experience for your content and schedule.

YouTube Analytics

YouTube Analytics is a robust tool that provides informative data and insights about your content, your audience, and your programming. Find the 'Story' Behind Peaks and Changes 1) Viewership - Identify and analyze your most viewed days, weeks, and individual videos to understand why they were so successful. 2) Subscribers - Examine the dates or videos where there was a high gain or loss of subscribers to learn more about what resonates with your audience. 3) Watch-time or Time Watched - Provides viewer watch-time on your channel and on a per video level. 4) Traffic Sources - Understand how viewers discover your content at a channel and per-video level. 5) Annotations Report - Assess the click-through-rate (CTR) at the channel-level to understand the overall effectiveness of your strategy. 6) Demographics and Geographics - Optimize for international audiences by identifying the countries where your content is popular. ***youtube is owned by google - tons of analytics
