Hey there, fellow YouTubers!
YouTube has just rolled out exciting updates on how to use hashtags effectively, the right types of hashtags, and overall strategies for YouTube's success.
If you want to break free from the plateau of a thousand or a few thousand views, you've come to the right place. Understanding how hashtags work and using them strategically can be the game-changer you've been looking for.
**Step 1: Choose Relevant and Popular Hashtags **
- Use relevant hashtags that align with the content of your video.
- Let YouTube auto-populate popular hashtags when you type in your video's topic.
- Place hashtags either in the title or description but consider the title for better visibility.
**Step 2: Embrace Hashtag Shorts for Growth **
- Incorporate the hashtag "shorts" or "#short" at the end of your video title for YouTube Shorts.
- Select two relevant and popular hashtags related to your content to increase discoverability.
- Ensure your chosen hashtags accurately represent your video's topic.
**Step 3: Avoid Common Hashtag Mistakes **
- Don't use irrelevant hashtags; stick to those directly tied to your video's subject.
- Opt for popular, widely-used hashtags for broader reach.
- Restrict the use of hashtags to three or fewer, as exceeding this limit can reduce your reach.
- Be cautious about hashtags longer than your video title, as this might diminish their impact.
**Step 4: Leverage YouTube's Related Videos Feature **
- Focus on keeping viewers engaged and watching multiple pieces of your content to avoid penalties.
- Bridge the gap between shorts and long-form content or create a loop between related shorts.
- Monetize by using the related video as a sales pitch platform with links in the pin comment and description.
