Top Tools To Grow Your YouTube Channel

My Top Tools To Grow Your YouTube Channel

You have to do three essential things to help grow your YouTube Channel. Strangely enough, they all have to do with driving traffic to your channel. The most important thing is to focus on creating high-quality, engaging content. That is something only you can do. The problem we all have, unless you’re one of those YouTube gurus who have heaps of followers YouTube will always recommend you regardless of the keywords you use, is getting targeted traffic to your videos.

TubeBuddy Helps With Keywords And So Many Other Things

Keywords are essential to getting traffic to your videos. I’ve found Tubebuddy to be a useful tool for helping me choose the best keywords to drive folk to my videos. Unfortunately, as good as TubeBuddy is, as described in my post Funny Jokes That Don’t Make It, YouTube has been known to throw curveballs and not recommend your video even though folk are using the exact keywords in YT’s search engine. There isn’t much you can do about that and I’ve learned to live with the times YouTube does follow the keywords that folk use to search for the content they want to see.

Tags are also said to be important to drive traffic. Tags are descriptive keywords that help YouTube’s algorithm understand your video’s content, thereby increasing its chances of appearing in search results and recommendations to interested viewers. TubeBuddy allows me to see what tags are being used by YouTubers who appear at the top of the fold and with a bit of luck those same tags can help your video. I show this in action in one of my older videos. I really need to update that video.

Using Engaging Titles To Encourage People To Click On Your Video

Think about your experience when you’re searching for a particular video. Do you click on anything or do you click on videos that sound interesting? Does the title include the keywords you’re targeting? Something TubeBuddy can help you with. You may have to try several titles before you find the right one.

The Importance Of Thumbnails For Getting Views

Engaging thumbnails are essential for attracting clicks. If someone finds your Thumbnail engaging they’re more likely to click on it thereby boosting your click-through rates, and increasing the visibility of your videos in search results.

My favourite tool for this is The Graphics Creator. I did a Graphic Creator Review over 4 years ago so I should do another one because it is so much better now than it was then. The beauty of the Graphic Creator is it allows you to do so much more than create stunning Thumbnails. I’ve used it to create this video of Funniest Don’t Argue With Women Memes that in only 3 weeks has over 1500 views and 23 likes.

The beauty of The Graphics Creator is it’s so easy to use and no skill is required in using it.

Creating Animated Pixar Characters

Top Tools To Grow Your YouTube Channel

I’ve always wanted to create cartoon characters for my videos and until recently I could never find anything that created Pixar-quality characters and do it without blowing a gasket. I’m now using CreateStudio 4 and to date, updates have been free.

I use CreateStudio 4 almost exclusively on my Laughaholics Channel. My Hilarious Animated Comedy was produced entirely using CreateStudio 4, including the AI-generated voices. I did a bit of a video on the History Of CreateStudio 3 And Why It’s Worth Buying.

Funny Jokes That Don’t Make It

My Funny Jokes That Don’t Make It

Have you ever wondered why some of your content get’s heaps of views on YouTube and some of your other content does miserably? I have and I’m here to tell you, even if you’ve done everything right the thing that is holding your content back can be attributed to one thing. YouTube Algorithm.

I’m going to show you one of my jokes that has failed to make an impression on YouTube.

Professor Who Tells Dirty Jokes

I love doing shorts and I have explained why in my post about Why I Love Doing Shorts. Some go really well and others don’t. Like my Professor Who Tells Dirty jokes. I published this joke on the same day, 6th of April, on Facebook. On YouTube it has 12 views whereas on FaceBook it’s has 245 views.

Unlike normal videos on YouTube you don’t get to choose a thumbnail so you have to rely on using the right title and keywords. I use the help of TubeBuddy to ensure I get that job done properly and for the majority of occasions TubeBuddy helps me to choose great titles, But unfortunately even TubeBuddy can’t tell how YouTubes algorithms will work.

Funny Jokes That Don't Make It

As you can see in the image above my selection of the heading Funny Jokes That Don’t Make It, got a 100% score. Technically it should be showing at the top or close to it when searching for Funny Jokes That Don’t Make It. Looking at the image above the crap YouTube is showing is not even related to the search term. Who knows why.

So, if this happens to you, don’t get disheartened. Just keep trying because there are times when YouTube does the right thing by paying attention to the actual search terms.

Do Thumbnails And Keywords Make A Difference

Do Thumbnails And Keywords Make A Difference?

Whether thumbnails and keywords make a difference is a question many YouTubers are asking themselves. Personally I believe that thumbnails and keywords does make a difference which is why I invested in Tube Buddy to help me with my keywords, you can get the free version here. I also invested in The Graphics Creator to help me with designing my Thumbnails.

My Thumbnail And Keywords Comparison Test

For years I’ve persisted with one YouTube channel, My Bonzer Channel. My Bonzer Channel covers a lot of topics, from how to videos to funny jokes. Over the years, I started it in 2007, I’ve grown it to 2.62k subscribers with 751 videos.

I posted my first video on Laughaholics in Deccember 2021. My intention for Laughaholics was to repurpose my jokes from My Bonzer Channel changing only the keywords and thumbnails. Imagine my surprise when Laughaholics took off and I was able to monetize it a hell of a lot quicker than My Bonzer Channe! At least until YouTube decided to demonetize it saying I was copying content. I did a video on that and you can watch it here if your interested.

Proving To YouTube Video Ownership

I wasn’t going to give up though. I wanted my Laughaholics monetization back. That didn’t happen until I made a video telling YouTube why they should reinstate Laughaholics. You can watch that video here. As I’m writing this post, I now have 1.18k subscriber with 355 videos.

Thumbnails And Keywords Does Make A Difference

In general I have found that for the majority of videos on Laughaholics, thumbnails and keyword have made a big difference. My most popular post on Laughaholics is Little Johnny Asks Naked Mom About Breasts with 207k views.

Do Thumbnails And Keywords Make A Difference

On My Bonzer Channel that video went by Little Johnny Showers With Mom Joke and only got 494 views.

You will of course notice the different keywords and thumbnails.

I’m not going to compare all the videos because that will take too long. Instead I’m going to compare my last video which is Hilarious Joke About Big Jake. That video is 5 days old and has 4 views. Compare that to my Funny Big Jake Is Coming Joke, which was published Dec 26 2024 and has 12 views.
