How to Upload a Video or Short
Follow these steps to grow your channel.
1
Create a high-CTR thumbnail
Bold faces, contrast colors, minimal text (3–5 words). A/B test to find what clicks.
2
Write an SEO-friendly title
Front-load the main keyword, keep under 60 characters, spark curiosity without clickbait.
3
Write a proper video description
Hook in the first 2 lines, then 150–300 words with keywords, timestamps, and links.
4
Add SEO-friendly hashtags & keywords
3–5 relevant hashtags. Mix broad + niche keywords your audience actually searches.
5
Add SEO-optimised tags
Start with your exact target keyword, then variations and related topics.
6
Don't publish public immediately
Upload as Unlisted or Private first — after ~5 minutes switch to Public for cleaner processing.
Pro Tip
Follow every step above on every upload — consistency + SEO compounds fast.
