DISCLAIMER  This is the part of the report where I outline how I made a bunch of money using thesemethods, but I can’t guarantee the same for you. Except I’m supposed to do it IN ALLCAPS LIKE THIS.No, I can’t guarantee you’ll make any money using the methods outlined here. If you’resmart, though, I think you’ll be able to figure it out.                                                                      

A New Angle: Adsense  In this report, I’m going to show you how I’m making$8,000+ per month just by placing Adsense ads on YouTubevideos.I don’t sell anything.These videos are 1 and ½ minutes to 4 minutes long.I don’t appear in any of these videos. I don’t even have touse my own voice if I don’t feel like it.I do it by creating a CERTAIN TYPE of video and then usingmy SPY TAGS or RELATE BAIT techniques on them.EARNINGS CHARTThis is about how much you can expect to earn per video byplacing Adsense ads on it:25,000 views = $7550,000 views = $150100,000 views = $300200,000 views = $600300,000 views = $900400,000 views = $1,200500,000 views = $1,500600,000 views = $1,800700,000 views = $2,100800,000 views = $2,400900,000 views = $2,7001,000,000 views = $3,000You can find out how much money other people’s videos aremaking by checking this chart.

Think it’s hard to get this many views? Wrong. You just haveto create the right kinds of videos.    

Semi-Viral Video Secret  A lot of people like to say that you can’t make a viral video.Viral videos happen by accident. And they’re partly right.I can’t show you how to make a Gangnam Style viral video. Idon’t know how to make videos that get hundreds of millionsof hits. I just don’t. If I ever figure it out, I’ll come back andlet you know.In the meantime, we can make a very solid passive incomeoff something I call SEMI-VIRAL videos.If we define a semi-viral video as one that gets 100,000+hits and makes $300+, then YES, you can make that happen90% of the time. I can show you how to do that.Remember, this is completely scalable, so your income isonly limited by the number of videos you’re willing toproduce.Also, remember that you’re not limited by any type of budget.These videos are free to create. But if you want to scale upfast, you can outsource all or part of them, too.                

Semi-Viral Secret NichesNiches are INCREDIBLY important in the YouTube game.Certain niches get very few clicks, no matter how expensiveand amazing and helpful the video is.    Certain other niches get insanely EASY clicks.Videos in these niches barely even have to try and they’ll gethundreds of thousands of views. THESE ARE SEMI-VIRAL VIDEO NICHES.This has taken about 4 months of digging and research, buthere is my very short list (because these aren’t easy to find)of SEMI-VIRAL Video Niches that are worth working in:Fact/Trivia VideosExample channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/WatchMojoToy VideosExample channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/DisneyCarToysParody VideosExample channel:https://www.youtube.com/user/screenjunkiesLook, I could have included things like “video games” or“compilations” or “cats” or a hundred other niches that doget a lot of views easily, but here’s the thing: Video gamevideos are incredibly hard to monetize now because you’rerequired to be under contract with a network. Compilationvideos don’t follow TOS, so they could be taken down at anytime. Cats… Well, how are you realistically going to gethundreds of funny cat videos?

These are niches that are INSANELY easy to get hundreds ofthousands of clicks in, but are also EASY to CREATE,UNLIMITED in HOW MANY YOU CAN CREATE, and DON’TBREAK ANY RULES.They’re also pretty much guaranteed to be successful 90% ofthe time.Sure, you’ll have a dud here and there, but you can count onalmost all your videos in these niches making you at least afew hundred dollars. And then you’re going to have your 10-20% that are going to make thousands over their lifetime.You might be complaining that there aren’t enough nicheshere or you don’t like these niches. Too bad! This is what themarket wants right now. I wish they all wanted videos of memindlessly clicking on websites, because that would be reallygreat for me, but they don’t.None of us can control what the YouTube demographicwants, but we can serve them (okay, we’re serving themmindless entertainment, but that’s what they’ve come toYouTube for).I could have written a mile-long list of nonsense niches andthat would have made a lot of people happy, but I’m not hereto scam you and send you off to work 20 hours a week onsome YouTube goose chase because some smarmy internetguy told you it would work.These are the videos I invest all my time and money intocreating. They’re the ones I’ve settled on after tons of trialand error and nearly a hundred different kinds of videos thatbombed, that didn’t earn money back, that took me 3 days tocreate and got 150 views.I’ve gotten through all the bad experiences to come out onthe other end with the hard-earned knowledge of whichniches work and which don’t.

This isn’t my best guess as to what might work.This is what works. Right now.Why would I share this with you? Well, how quickly do youthink the fact/trivia niche or the toy niche is going to fill up?There’s plenty of room for now.                                                                      

Creating Semi-Viral VideosWithout turning this into a video production course, I want togive you a REALLY basic rundown of how I create my videos.As I’ve said before, this isn’t a YouTube BASICS guide, so ifyou need any information on the nitty gritty basics ofcreating videos, I guarantee you can find a video about howto do it on YouTube.Fact/Trivia Videos 1. I collect facts/trivia + list ideas from these websites:Ranker.comUsers create lists that are voted upon by other users. Notonly does this give you a great idea for lists, but it also letsyou know which types of lists are popular and which aren’t.Cracked.comA comedy website that gets tons of traffic for it’s hilariouslist-style content. Generally appeals to a male demographic.Buzzfeed.comSimilar to Cracked.com, but appeals to a more femaledemographic.Listverse.comAn endless supply of top 10 lists.SmashingLists.comEven more top 10 lists.Jimmyr.com

Top trending stuff in different categories, like Pictures, Tech,News, Videos, and Science. 2. I turn those facts into a short script between 150and 350 words.Here’s an example video script that I haven’t turned into avideo yet:5 Mental Disorders You Won’t Believe Actually ExistIf you live on planet earth, you should be aware by now that human beings aresome very bizarre creatures. There’s the man on the street who yells at you to“get a job!” while you’re on your way to work, there’s the odd aunty at Christmaswho ALWAYS remembers your birthday, but doesn’t seem to remember whereshe is, and there’s that guy who broke up with you claiming that you were crazy,when given your complete awesomeness, it is blatantly obvious that he is thecrazy one. However, there are some significantly more bizarre behaviors, in theform of diagnosable mental disorders, that you won’t believe actually exist. 1) Stendhal Syndrome – “The art is TOO beautiful”Symptoms include dizziness, anxiety, confusion, rapid heartbeat, and evenpsychosis, when exposed to immense beauty, especially art. Yes, art. 2) Boanthropy – “I believe I am a cow”A delusional disorder in which a person believes that they are a cow or an ox.Sufferers may be seen on all fours eating grass. 3) Coprolalia – “You bleeping bleep”Excessive and uncontrollable use of obscenities or derogatory remarks. Sufferersof coprolalia aren’t just angry or expressing themselves passionately - theirlanguage is involuntary and out of context. 4) Aboulmania – “I don’t know”A disorder characterized by pathological indecision. People with this disorderbecome overwhelmed by even small decisions, and become obsessed with theuncertainty of potential outcomes. 5) Foreign Accent Syndrome – “My new voiz, its maqnifique!”A rare speech disorder involving a sudden change to a person’s speech, suchthat they speak in a different language or specific accent.While you may not believe that these rare disorders actually exist, remember thatsome psychological theories suggest that the difference between abnormality

and normality is only a difference of degree. In short: to some extent, we allbelieve we are cows.Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to subscribe so you can get notified when I putout new videos! 3. I find photos to match the content.Because of the nature of your video, pretty much all photosused in your Fact/Trivia videos fall under the category ofFAIR USE.Here’s what the U.S. law says about it:U.S. Code Title 17, Chapter 1, § 107 Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use  \"Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of acopyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecordsor by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such ascriticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies forclassroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement ofcopyright.Now I will undoubtedly have a couple of people argue withme about fair use laws because the words “fair use” can’teven be used without causing an enormous argument.If you’re a fair use skeptic for some reason, you can alwaysbuy stock photos for about $1 each if you buy in bulk on anystock photo website. It will increase the cost of creating avideo, but if you have issues with fair use of copyrightedmaterial, it’s a solid alternative. 3. I record myself reading the script using Audacity (free to download). 4. I drop it all in my video editor. If you own a PC, you should already have Windows Movie Maker. (Free)

If you own a Mac, you should already have iMovie. (Free or $5) If not, you can download these and get them up and running in about 10 minutes. They’re both extremely easy to use programs, especially for our purposes.So, I just drop my audio script into the video editor, drop mypictures in, and then make sure my pictures match up to theparts where I’m talking about what’s going on in thosepictures. 5. I export the video and upload to YouTube.DONE! Now, of course you’re going to need a description,tags, etc., and I’ll get into all that later with some really cooltricks, but this is how you create the video. It’s really easy.

Toy VideosThese are done in a completely different style and willrequire your hands to be seen on camera. This won’t appealto everyone, but you have two other niches to choose fromand can ignore this one completely if it doesn’t interest you.But just go check out the stats on some of these videos. Itwill blow your mind how much money can be made in thisniche. 1. I go to the top performing TOY CHANNELS.These include:https://www.youtube.com/user/DisneyCollectorBRhttps://www.youtube.com/user/DisneyCarToyshttps://www.youtube.com/user/toysreviewtoyshttps://www.youtube.com/user/SurpriseToyshttps://www.youtube.com/user/TheEngineeringFamilyhttps://www.youtube.com/user/CookieSwirlC

https://www.youtube.com/user/BlucollectionThere are probably a lot more out there, but these are theones I keep up with.While I’m there, I check out with toys are trending and whichof their videos are getting the most views (in the past weekor two). 2. I go to Amazon and BUY THOSE TOYS. 3. I make a video of me opening and reviewing those toys. I’ll also show how to use it or what you can do with it.The more creative you can be with this, the better. Check outall the channels I linked to above and get an idea of howthey do it.This is a very, very profitable niche if you can have fun andenjoy doing it.If not, ask your spouse. This might just be their secret dreamjob. 4. I export the video and upload to YouTube. 5. I sell the used toys on Ebay or Amazon or give them away to friends and family.DONE!

Parody Videos 1. I find out what’s trending.What’s TRENDING is the most important part of any parodyvideo.Here are the best places for finding trends:Jimmyr.comTop trending stuff in different categories, like Pictures, Tech,News, Videos, and Science.Google Hot TrendsTop trending Google searches.YouTube Trends DashboardWhat’s been getting the most views on YouTube in the past24 hours.Rotten TomatoesGreat place to find the top box office hits, top TV shows, andtop new releases. Movie related parodies are guaranteedclick factories. 2. I go to the current YouTube videos or blogs for these trends.From there, I can see what the general reactions are to thetrend. See what all the different views are. I can pick upideas for jokes. You can almost create an entire script justfrom YouTube and blog comments.If I need more jokes, I might hire a joke writer on Fiverr(more info on that in the outsourcing section). 3. I download videos of the thing I’m parodying from YouTube.

For example, if I was parodying Frozen, I would downloadtrailers from Frozen.You can use this site to download YouTube videos:http://keepvid.com/ 4. I edit it and do a voiceover.Fiverr really comes in handy for these types of videosbecause you can get all types of voices for your parodyvideos.You can get people who sound just like the guys who domovie trailers or you can get people who do incredibleimpressions of celebrities. You can get people who sing to doparody songs.Look at this person who is making a KILLING using Fiverrvoices and movie trailers to make movie trailer parodies(check out their Honest Trailers):http://www.youtube.com/user/screenjunkiesSome of their videos are making $20,000+BIG IMPORTANT NOTE: With parody videos, you areDEFINITELY allowed to use copyrighted video content. This isnot really a gray area in copyright laws. This type of parodycontent has always been allowed. Don’t be afraid to usecontent from major studios. 5. I export the video and upload to YouTube.DONE!

OUTSOURCING:I’ll admit that 2 of the 3 niches above require somecreativity, but guess what? You can outsource creativity!This is a really easy thing to outsource because it’s a funjob.Here are just a few of the Fiverr gigs you can use tooutsource your video content:JOKE WRITERShttps://www.fiverr.com/footbags/write-7-custom-jokes-for-youhttps://www.fiverr.com/emersondameron/write-five-jokeshttps://www.fiverr.com/nikkipal/write-you-five-jokeshttps://www.fiverr.com/dick_jokes/hi-im-dick-a-professional-comic-and-ive-got-jokes-for-youCOMEDY ARTICLE (SCRIPT) WRITERShttps://www.fiverr.com/kc_tinman/write-a-funny-satire-article-for-youhttps://www.fiverr.com/richardwings/write-a-comedic-article-or-speech-on-any-subjecthttps://www.fiverr.com/pencilton/write-a-funny-article-blog-post-review-or-more

RELATE BAITThis unique strategy was invented by me – so I can guaranteeyou haven’t seen it anywhere else.WHY THIS METHOD IS SO INCREDIBLY EFFECTIVE:Ask any highly successful YouTuber where most of their viewscome from.You might guess it’s from YouTube searches or maybe Googlesearches or blog backlinks.Nope.The #1 place you’re going to get most of your trafficis from RELATED VIDEOS.So your goal should be to get into the RELATEDVIDEOS section of videos that are getting tons ofclicks.I’ll show you my AWESOME trick for doing this.

   WHAT THIS METHOD DOES:  This genius little trick gives you the power to get into the top ofthe related videos section of extremely viral videos for lessthan $5.(No. Fiverr is not involved.)This means tens of thousands or even hundreds ofthousands of free clicks on your video. MONETIZED clicks.

HOW TO PUT THIS METHOD INTO ACTION:  1Upload your video.2Find the viral video you want to get into the RELATED VIDEOSsection for. The viral video MUST meet these criteria for thisstrategy to work: 1. Video must have been uploaded within the past 4 days. 2. Video must have 50,000+ views. 3. Video must be legitimately related to your video, even if loosely. Examples: Theirs is a parody video about The Lion King and yours is a parody video about Game of Thrones IS OKAY. Theirs is a parody video about The Lion King and yours is a Beer Trivia video IS NOT OKAY.3Go to Adwords.Google.com and either sign up or sign in.

4Click on the red CAMPAIGN button. Choose ONLINE VIDEO.

5When you fill in your campaign details, keep your budget at $4per day.IMPORTANT: Make sure you UNCHECK “YouTube Videos” fromyour NETWORKS. Only YOUTUBE SEARCH should be checked.

6If your LOCATIONS AND LANGUAGES section looks like this,continue. If not, change it so that it’s the same as thescreenshot above.7Copy and paste the URL of YOUR YouTube video that you wantto promote.

8Don’t touch the advanced settings. Just click SAVE ANDCONTINUE.9Set your Max Cost Per View to 0.02. YouTube might try to warnyou that you won’t get many clicks at this rate. Ignore it. It’swrong. 0.02 is as low as you can go. At 0.01 your ads won’tshow.

10Under TARGETING, click on the dropdown box labeledNARROW YOUR TARGETING. Click on PLACEMENTS.11Under ADD MANUALLY, copy and paste the URL of the viralvideo you want to show up in the RELATED VIDEOS section for.Then click ADD.Next, click DONE.

12Click SAVE TARGETTING GROUP and you’re done.Your ad is now ready to run.WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!After your ad gets approved, which can take up to 24 hours,your ad will start showing up at the top of the RELATED VIDEOSsection as an AD.

THEN THE MAGIC HAPPENSWithin a few days of your ONE DAY ad ($4) running, your videowill start to show up as one of the related videos for thatvideo… IN THE ORGANIC SEARCH RESULTS.Why does this work?When most people run an ad, they run it across all of YouTube,spreading data all over the place. A few people click on yourvideo from here, a few click from there, a few click from someother place. The clicks are spread all over hundreds of YouTubevideos.But we’re doing something different here. We’re running an adon ONE SINGLE VIDEO. Who does that? That’s weird. Whywould they do that?Well, they’d do it if they were privileged with some secretknowledge of how those YouTube algorithms work.See, YouTube’s bots pick up on the fact that after watchingthat VIRAL VIDEO, hundreds of people then click on YOURVIDEO. It doesn’t matter that it’s an ad.This makes a connection between that VIRAL VIDEO and YOURVIDEO.This tells the Tube Bots that YOUR VIDEO is a RELATEDVIDEO.If you had run your ad the normal way, you’d have gotten 2-3clicks from that viral video, 2-3 clicks from some other viralvideo, 5 clicks from some other video, 4 clicks from something

else, etc., etc., and that would have used up your $4. But withthe Relate Bait method, ALL of those clicks are connected toONE SINGLE VIDEO, forcing a connection between your videoand the VIRAL VIDEO.LAST STEP: Go monetize your video! (I don’t recommendmonetizing until AFTER your ad has stopped running, which Iexplain in further detail in the QUESTIONS section below.)While all those thousands of monetized clicks are rolling in, getto work on your next video.

QUESTIONS ABOUT RELATE BAITQ: Can I get into the RELATED VIDEOS section for MULTIPLEvideos?A: YES.You can use this method on MULTIPLE videos. You can get onthe RELATED VIDEOS section of as many videos as you like.Just go back to #11 and change the URL of the video you wantto be in the RELATED VIDEOS section for.You’re going to need to spend $4 and do a 1-day ad again foreach new video you want to run your ad on.Q: How many days should I run my ad?A: You should only need to run your ad for 1 day or until your$4 budget runs out.Q: How soon will my video show up as a paid ad in theRELATED VIDEOS?A: This typically takes 24 hours or less.Q: How soon will my video show up organically in the RELATEDVIDEOS?A: YouTube bots have to detect the activity, so it can vary, buttypically 2-4 days.Q: How long will my video STAY in the RELATED VIDEOS?A: Normally they will stay there forever, because of thesnowball effect. Since your video is in the RELATED VIDEOS, itwill get clicked on more after people watch the VIRAL VIDEO,

which further confirms the Tube Bots idea that your video isrelated. So, most of the time, your video will stay put for a verylong time/forever.Q: Where will my video rank in the RELATED VIDEOS section?A: With this method, your video should get right up to the top3-5 results. If not, try running your ad again.Q: Can’t I just click the PROMOTE button on my video insideYouTube instead of going into Adwords?A: No. If you go through YouTube to start your Adwordscampaign, you can’t use the placement targeting.Q: How much do I need to spend on my ad? And how manyclicks is it going to get?A: You’re going to need at least $3 or $4 in ad budget to showup in the RELATED VIDEOS section. At 2 cents per click, you’regoing to get about 200 clicks from [VIRAL VIDEO] to YOURVIDEO, which should be enough to show YouTube’s bots thatyour videos are related. If not, add on a dollar. It shouldn’t takemore than 150-300 of these clicks to get in that goldminecalled RELATED VIDEOS.Q: Can my video be monetized WHILE I’m running an adthrough Adwords?A: Yes, it can. BUT some people will click out of your videowhen they see that they have to sit through an ad to watch it.Since that brings down your retention rate (retention rate ishow long viewers typically stick around to watch your video),and bringing down your retention rate COULD make it a littleharder to get in the RELATED VIDEOS, I don’t recommend

monetizing your video until AFTER you’ve stopped running yourad.Q: When I check my analytics, how can I tell how many viewscame from being in the RELATED VIDEOS section?A: YouTube calls these views SUGGESTED VIDEO views.Q: How is this going to make me any money?A: This should be obvious, but I just want to make it extra clear.A monetized video getting thousands of clicks is going to makehundreds or thousands of dollars from adsense alone.Here’s a chart to give you some idea of what you can makefrom adsense ads on your videos:EARNINGS CHARTThis is about how much you can expect to earn per video by placingAdsense ads on it:25,000 views = $7550,000 views = $150100,000 views = $300200,000 views = $600300,000 views = $900

400,000 views = $1,200500,000 views = $1,500600,000 views = $1,800700,000 views = $2,100800,000 views = $2,400900,000 views = $2,7001,000,000 views = $3,000

SPY TAGSThis is another really cool method I came up with that worksabout 80% of the time. Unlike RELATE BAIT, it’s completelyfree and takes 2-3 minutes to complete. But the disadvantageis you’re a lot more limited on which videos you can get on theRELATED VIDEOS section for.This method can get you into the RELATED VIDEOS section of areally popular video within a few days if it meets the followingcriteria: - It has to be in the same niche and sub-niche as your video. So, if your video is going to be about a new Play- Doh toy, the video you’re going to use the Spy Tags method on must also be about a Play-Doh toy. - The video should have 10,000+ views. - The video should have been released within the past 2-3 days. BUT NO MORE THAN 3.1Go to the video you want to use the Spy Tags method on.Click on TOOLS – WEB DEVELOPER – PAGE SOURCE.

Now you can see the HTML for the page, including some of thetags that the YouTube video creator entered when theyuploaded their video.

Just search for the word “KEYWORDS” in all that html and nowyou know some of their tags.You can also use this trick to come up with tags for videoswhen you’re feeling stuck.2Now that you have the keywords for the video, you’re going touse those exact same keywords in YOUR tags.And get this: You don’t have to use those keywords in your title.But it certainly won’t hurt if you do.3You can’t see ALL of the other video’s keywords, andsometimes people don’t use a lot of keywords. That’s okay.Just use the keywords you can see.IMPORANT: You also need to put the NAME OF THE CHANNELthat the video is from in your tags.Like this: disneycartoys

4You can only use this method to get on the RELATED VIDEOSsection for one popular video, so make sure it’s one that’sgoing to get tons of hits.If the channel the video is hosted on has 200,000+subscribers, it’s a really good bet.Now sit back and enjoy the free traffic.

SUB-NICHE BEASTThere’s an INSANELY awesome tool for discovering YouTubesub-niches & trends out there and NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUTIT. Why? I don’t know.Go to:http://www.google.com/trends/Enter your possible niche keywords in the search bar.For instance, if you’re considering creating a video about aDivergent parody, you could search for “Divergent” or“Divergent parody”. Hit enter.Now click on Web Search, then choose YouTube Search fromthe dropdown menu.    

MAGIC!You now can see the current interest + pastinterest in the search term Divergent.          This is on a scale from 1-100, not actual estimatedsearch queries.What I Do: I only act on searches that areCURRENTLY at 80+. This guarantees a ton ofinterest in my keywords.Like I said before, I’m after EASY clicks. I just want to serve upexactly what people are looking for.BUT THERE’S MORE.Scroll down further and there’s a treasure trove ofhidden information for you to profit from.    

   Now you can see related YouTube searches that youmight have never thought of.NOTE: If you click on the RISING button, a lot of timesinstead of a number, you’ll see the words BREAKOUT.

 This is supposed to mean that it’s new and getting off-the-charts high search volume. This is incrediblyunreliable. Take the “breakout” keywords with a grain ofsalt.If there’s an actual number shown, that’s ALWAYSreliable.This might seem like a simple tool, but it can MAKE youthousands and SAVE you thousands on keywords andniches that just aren’t as popular as you would haveassumed they were.I only found this AFTER I had invested $100 in videosfor a keyword - which I thought was mega popular - thatwas only 34 on the Google Trends chart. Needless tosay, those videos bombed. I could have avoided thewhole fiasco if I had known about this first.Plus: Check out the HOT SEARCHES in the left sidebar.This will show you the very top searches happening rightnow.

   If you can’t get clicks from hot news that can’t possiblybe saturated because it was JUST RELEASED, then youcan’t get clicks from anything.    

Some Cool Ranking TricksIf you take one thing away from this report, I intended itto be the really AWESOME techniques outlined inRELATE BAIT and SPY TAGS. But here are some other neatranking tricks that aren’t quite as amazing, but are still worthtalking about.  Sub JumpEver wonder why some YouTubers are SO pushy about gettingyou to subscribe? Well, yeah, more subscribers is good for alot of reasons, but get this: When someone subscribes toyour channel after watching your video, that gives your videomore “rank juice”.Rank Juice is a terrible name, but you see what I’m gettingat. It’s one component of how YouTube decides how high torank your video on YouTube searches.How to do it: Make sure that your video always ends with acall to action: “Don’t forget to subscribe!” or “Pleasesubscribe” or “Subscribe to my channel to be updated whennew videos are released”.My split testing has shown “Don’t forget to subscribe” to bemost effective for my videos, but get creative and trydifferent variations and see what works best for you.Extra tip: I don’t advocate buying views, likes, etc. on Fiverr,but the ONE thing I will say can be effective is buyingsubscribers on Fiverr. It gives your channel some social proofand can help with the “Sub Jump” method with new videos.Extra extra tip: Put an image at the end of your video like theone I’ve shown below. Draw a subscribe button on that image

(it’s just a rectangle with the word SUBSCRIBE in it). Thenadd a Subscribe annotation to where the rectangle is.This increased subscribers for me by over 20%.If you don’t know how to work with annotations, justwatch this video someone made about how to do it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qm97F1PtNrYSneaky Title JuiceThis one works on so many levels, it’s incredible.How to do it: After you fill in the description of your video,write “Here are some more of my awesome videos:” Thencopy and paste in the titles of your other videos, plus thelinks to them. It should look like this:Disney’s Frozen Anna and Elsa Parodyhttp://youtube.com/user/awesomeyoutuberwhomakesdisneyparodies

Hilarious Finding Nemo 2 Parody with Marlin and Dory  http://youtube.com/user/awesomeyoutuberwhomakesdisneyparodies      Why it works:Any words in your description work just like tags!They’re almost just as effective as tags, if you can believe it.(Who knows how long this will remain the case.)This means that even if your video is about Aladdin orSleeping Beauty, you can show up for keywords like FindingNemo and Disney’s Frozen WITHOUT doing anything againstTOS.So for every extra link + title included in yourdescription, you’re greatly increasing how often yourvideo shows up in different YouTube search results.This is more effective than it sounds. I’ve gotten tens ofthousands of clicks from searches when the searcher waslooking for a different type of video but ended up clicking onmine because they liked the title and thumbnail. They NEVERwould have seen my video if I hadn’t put those links in thedescription.WARNING: Careful to only include videos that actuallysomewhat relate to your video. In this case, these are allDisney parodies, so someone looking for a Sleeping Beautyparody would probably also be interested in a Finding Nemoparody. It won’t do you a lot of good to include links tocompletely unrelated videos.Why it works #2:

For some reason, when you link to a video in yourdescription, it’s VERY likely to show up in the“related videos” for that video. Which means A LOTmore clicks for it.Supposedly, you can’t control what shows up in your own“related videos” section, but this trick proves that you cancontrol it a little and use it to your advantage.Why it works #3:This is obvious, but it’s another link to your video, whichsome people will click on when reading your description, sothat’s even more clicks.The OTHER DescriptionYou hear a lot about how you should make sure to use plentyof keywords in your video description, but something notmany people talk about is your CHANNEL description.Most people don’t know this, but your channel descriptioncan actually help your rankings if you know how to takeadvantage of it.

Any keywords used in your channel description willincrease the “rank juice” for any videos trying to rankfor those same keywords.So if you’re making toy videos, you better be sure that everyimportant toy keyword you’re using is also included in yourchannel description.Think of your channel description as a place where you canput TAGS for your CHANNEL and you’ve got the idea.Here’s someone’s channel description who is taking fulladvantage of this and is getting tons of traffic:Here’s a video someone made on where to go to change yourchannel description (you can stop watching after about the30 second mark):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMv4WxqFQJYCaption SecretEveryone says you should caption your videos because it canhelp your ranking, and it can a little.But here’s another reason:After you caption them, COPY AND PASTE the text into yourDESCRIPTION, because the words in your description REALLYmatter. Every keyword you can legitimately fit into thatdescription is going to help you show up in searches andincrease your ranking.

Here’s a video on how to caption your videos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbUcv3Bc61gObvious Description Non-TrickI hate to include this here because it’s not really a trick, butit’s really important.When you’re writing in the description for your YouTubevideo, don’t throw one or two sentences in there. Treat thatthing like you’re getting paid $10 per word.Descriptions are important!That’s why I’m telling you to link to your other videos inthem, and to copy and paste your captions into them. Everyword in your description gets treated like a tag. So youbasically have unlimited tags. Write your heart out.WARNING: I see some people on YouTube keyword stuffing bydoing things like this:Disney Frozen Anna Toy ReviewDisney Frozen Anna Toy ReviewDisney Frozen Anna Toy ReviewFrozen Princess DollsFrozen Princess DollsFrozen Princess DollsThat’s not going to fly with YouTube. It seems somewhateffective, I’ll admit that. These videos are getting pretty highrankings right out of the gate with this technique. But it’s notgoing to be worth it when all their videos get removed andtheir account is banned.So pump as many words as you can in those descriptionsBUT keep it real and make sure you’re talking like a realperson to other real people.
