Boost Your YouTube: Tip 3.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

I have my whiteboard here with a whole bunch of numbers that have nothing to do with anything. In fact, I don't remember what these are reference to, you have to go back and watch my videos. I haven't erased it yet, but this has something to do with today's YouTube tip.

Regarding this is, let me see this. I think there's my top three highest viewed video currently in 2021. And the title of this video is, 5 Excruciating Steps to Become a Business Strategist.

So this was from last year or close to a year ago, I don't have the exact date in front of me. It just says one year when it comes to YouTube, sometimes that can be fudged a little and the picture has me with a whiteboard.

One thing I have noticed, which is odd. And it's also funny that I haven't tried it out more often is, if I have a whiteboard on the YouTube cover with something written on it, I tend to get more views on those.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, I don't know if it draws people in, I really am not certain if that's true or not.

One thing I am certain of is videos with numbers in them tend to pull people in, especially if the number signifies something interesting to the people that are viewing.

So if it's a topic and I number it, and I have the actual digit in the title that does pull people in, that is a and it's not just with YouTube videos. That's very common with articles, if you're doing blog articles, anything and that goes back into the something having to do with the human psyche. I think I've read about it in the past.

But it's very known to anybody that writes headlines, and does copywriting. That if you put numbers somewhere in the title, it pulls it draws the attention and pulls people in because they want to say, well, what is that?

What does this number signify?

It automatically pulls out the mathematical side or what have you. And you're going okay, what five, you know, and it's called 5 Excruciating Steps, I purposefully used an awkward word in there, that kind of forces a person to have to read it and it's not a common word.

It's all in reference to being a business strategist, which really doesn't have that much pool in general. And so I was surprised by how well this one did I base it mainly off of the number, there might be something else in it, that is pulling people in this is one of the ones that a lot of my earlier videos, I made sure they all had captions in them, the closed caption for the hearing impaired or what have you.

Or if people just like to read along, it has the captions captions can pull in search unto themselves, because it is included somewhere within the algorithm. Every all the words that you speak yes, YouTube is listening to you whether you have captions or not.

But if you have captions installed it, it will be listening to what's been typed out. So if you've had it transcribed, your video transcribed, and you put it out there, and you made sure that it's actually worded correctly,

YouTube will catch some of the things you're saying and they will become searchable. I have seen this done through time. So I know what's the case,
