Last month MY VIDEO RANKED #1 in RU-vid SEARCH. For me that was huge. I didn't think it was possible as a small channel, but here's how I did it!

I've watched so many videos about RU-vid SEO and keyword research (from incredibly helpful people like Tim Schmoyer, Roberto Blake, Brian G Johnson, Sunny Lenarduzzi, Nick Nimmin, Sean Cannell, to name just a few) but until it happened to my channel, I can't really say I understood how it worked. But now after having one of my videos rank #1 in search for a pretty big search term "Canon 1DX Mark II" (at least as of this recording), I saw some crazy growth numbers for me, even as a pretty small channel with just over 1,000 subscribers at the time.
Watching my view count, watch time, impressions, and subscriber numbers keep on climbing was one of the coolest most exhilarating parts of my RU-vid journey so far and I wanted to share this milestone with you all. Now of course my channel is still small, but as they say, there's a difference between learning something second hand versus learning through experience. Now that I've had that experience, here's what I've learned about how the algorithm works in 2019 and how to make the most of RU-vid with one of my favorite video SEO tools / video marketing tools. Hope you enjoy these RU-vid SEO hacks / tips. :)
Looking forward to hearing from you all in the comments!

I get the same feeling when I see another youtuber come out with a video that I am still working on but it's all good we all have our own fresh perspective on things. P.S. digging the new beard and stash. Didn't think that much time had passed from the last vid.

Hi Kevin, it is now a month I am using the boosted version of VidIQ, and despite I keep using it almost on a daily basis, I have to say that none of my videos ranked on the 10 ten of its searches. I believe that despite the video tags/title/secs are super optimized, you get a high rank only if you gather views/likes/comments...RU-vid is a hard grind..dam if it is! 😅
@TheKevinShen
@TheKevinShen 5 лет назад
TheRedCyberGlass yeah it’s hard! There are steps we can take as creators but it also depends heavily on the algorithm and it’s changing every day. Our best bet is to make content that we think people will watch and engage with, and do our best to give the algorithm as much information we can about the video so it can help find our audience faster :) cheers to you mate!
@TheRedCyberGlass
@TheRedCyberGlass 5 лет назад
Kevin Shen yes...when all the tools are sharpened, the focus on the contents is what can make the difference. Cheers mate!

good video my man, I would recommend a tip of setting up trend alerts. when news articles hit with lets say, "electric cars" you get an alert and then you can make a video on it if you think its worth it.
@TheKevinShen
@TheKevinShen 5 лет назад
Hey Josh! Oooh that's a great suggestion, thanks for the pro tip!! Sorry not entirely sure I follow you - Can you elaborate a bit more? How do you choose what keywords to set up alerts for? Are you suggesting that we set up trend alerts with all of our potential video ideas so that if any of them ever start trending, we'll know that it's a good idea to make a video about that trending topic? Thanks mate! :)

I use Morningfame, it’s not a chrome extension but it’s actually a website (paid) that allows you to do some pretty advanced keyword research which helps you rank in search. Your review of VidIQ was interesting, it does a great job of showing you search volume and overall competition - will definitely be trying out.

@TheKevinShen
@TheKevinShen 5 лет назад
Hello hello! :) Great question - I usually try to stick with keywords that are around 70 or higher, but at least over 60. It's important to have a good mix of super relevant keywords though too and not just the high-ranking ones, so that the algorithm can better pinpoint what your video is about
