This was a really well done video. I've worked in advertising for 15+ years and at a strategic level, the info you share not only applies to RUclips views, but you describe strategies that have been leveraged in effective, move-the-needle marketing and advertising for decades. Excellent work, and thank you.
I started my channel about a year ago, and have organically reached 60 subs. I have seen an incredible growth in this niche during the past 6 months. Thanks Gillian for this video. I will pursue this strategy and see where it takes my channel!
I have been using RUclips for a while. I travel around and make vlogs with my GoPro. But I am not at all getting any views though I tried some of the tips from tech experts. Can any of you give me any tips from your experience? Thank you
@@Sam.RoyalRider I went to your channel and looked at your videos, to be absolutely honest, I wasn't compelled to click on any of these. Mostly because your titles and thumbnails are too vague and don't exactly describe what's the video about. So try to work on that to create better titles that are going to be catchy and intriguing
Great tip Gillian! I’ve been learning just how important it is to be INTENTIONAL about YT! One tip I would suggest to people: have purpose in your content and bring out a video with content that only YOU can give. Because that’s what makes each individual channel sooo unique. YOU!!
I have been doing this since starting my ASMR/Hypnosis channel a month ago and I am LOVING the results! So much positive feedback! I am having fun and helping people. All of my dreams coming together 💕💕💕
Loved this video! Ive been noticing daily uploads helps SO much! Only 5 days in doing daily uploads and already gaining 5-10 subs a day and views/watch time are already over the 100 a day mark. Thanks for this video!!!
Gillian, there's no doubt you are a bright young lady, YOU ROCK. You master your subject and you have a great camera presence. Your editing is impeccable, hight pace, short scenes, and very demanding to your viewer. I have a lot to learn and a long way to go.
Thanks so much for your tips! I'm new to RUclips and plan on uploading my very first video on Saturday! I downloaded your upload checklist so I'm excited (and nervous) to see what will happen!
Hello Gillian, I'm a faithful follower, refer people to u all the time, as well. I'm try to use your suggestions on many areas of my life, even though I'm older (almost 68) have a mobility issue that started worsening 2 yrs ago due to spinal issues. I'm a fighter and refuse to give up. I've notice alot of change in you in the last year especially. You're a remarkable young lady. With all due respect, my only concern when watching & listening is your talking so much faster and I feel like I need to take a breath.... I'm feeling more anxious than enjoyment, like I did. I can only attribute it to your talking faster and repeating the same thing more than necessary. Although, it could be my age too. I won't go into the psychological strategies of repeating things to help people remember better, because I'm sure you know them all. I love your videos, never have been disappointed in any and learn so much. If I succeed with my plans this year, it will be partly because of what you taught me. I hope all is well with your family and the newest little one. Time is flying by so fast I'm sure she's growing into a beautiful child, who is blessed a loving mother. Your son is so handsome too! Thank you for all the valuable information, time and research it takes to make these videos. My best to your continued success in the years to come. Blessings, L :)
One simple thing you can do is change the playback speed when you are watching a video. Just hit the settings icon (it looks like a gear) on the bottom right of the video, and go to "playback speed", then select a speed that is less than 1.
Actually majority of my reach traffic from 2018 are suggested videos too! I love the idea of looking at what's popular within your niche and recreating your own. It makes sense that my most popular video is within a popular topic in my niche. thank you for this gillian!!
Gillian you’re love darling. Your videos helped me alot to grow my channel specially the thumbnail and keywords videos. You can’t even imagine how big smile is sending you this thank you 😊
Thank you for covering ways to drive traffic to videos. Nice that you covered your analytics and showed that suggested is number 1 or above RUclips search. Thank you for the tips.
The best channel on RUclips about being successful. Other channels are click bait that has no content. Gillian you are honest and it shows! Your tips have helped me greatly with my channel! Question - My channel name has nothing to do with my brand. Is there an easy way to change a channel name without loosing subs and causing confusion?
@@vwonders aww I'd love that! I'm gonna post my first RUclips video tomorrow actually! I'll be sure to give you a shout out (together with some other youtubers that are just starting out like me) ❤️❤️
We are already growing really fast but i think with this input we will grow much faster! THANK YOU! That's an absolutely amazing video as well as the how to use the right keywords. I am also an Entrepreneur and Mentor and teach sales and self-improvment and it was quite sometime that i watched a video for that long and really felt it helped. Thank you for that! You are great!
Out of all the videos on how to get views that I watched, this one is by far the best one. You just have a way to phrase and explain the how and why that gives the extra super important info no one else delivers. RUclips algorithm explained, and it makes so much sense now! Thank you Gillian
This video is the truth! My suggested videos get wayy more watch time. Another thing is put one of your videos into incognito and see which videos are suggested in the watch column and that can give you an idea of what to post next and also learn if RUclips is "clumping" you with the right people
fantastic, Gillian -- totally love how you debunk those myths about how "important" it was to do "RUclips SEO" because the real thing on RUclips is in the metadata, just like you said! And hey, in real life you don't even need any extra tool for that -- just pull up the page source (which you can do in any browser) and it'll show the Keywords and other Meta Data used in any given video on any RUclips or other HTML page. I kind of like Tubebuddy myself (for making it more convenent) but neither this nor any other tool is actually required for it.
@@Joe-sn3ms no, that only works if your video's content really satisfies viewers looking for those exact tags! So this needs to satisfy their search intent. If they "find" you and then are shown something completely different (or even worse, realize you're "tag-baiting" them) they'll leave after a few secs, and that hurts your Channel's performance metrics. Hence only copy those tags from popular ones that are also relevant to *your* video. And remember what you want is viewers satisfied with the content they found (yours). Good marks if they watch, bad marks if they bounce!
Gillian, I really appreciate your enthusiasm, passion, willingness to share, meaningful gestures, etc.! I am just getting started, and I've already learned many of the "nuts and bolts" of developing RUclips videos. Since I'm on the far side of 50, I need to move out smartly to get things running before I check out. -:) I did have one question: what was the site you recommended for searching for keywords. You might consider including such information in a box on your video.
Hi Gillian, I've just started with RUclips and probably making a ton of errors. However, I really appreciated the information in this video and will apply it as I can. I have a somewhat unique channel that is audio only. I just launched it on 10/19/2019 and currently have 5 subscribers. I post daily with a 2 1/2 - 3 minute audio segment. Looking forward to learning more from your presentations. Thanks.
Great advice as always! I’m using a combination of all of the things you mentioned and whilst still a small channel of just over 2k subs sometimes I get 1k views in 12 hours. I’m experimenting a bit at the moment and trying out some new content but will def still be using these strategies - most of my audience has come from suggested so far and only about 5% from search!
Awesome advice! I'm setting up to start my own channel in the next couple weeks and need all the advice I can get LOL thank you for taking the time to help us newbies 😘
Thanks So much. I had a video that was 4 months old suddenly spike and go from 100 views to over 12 thousand. I don’t know why it happened but I can see the traffic was from suggested
Great tips that I needed for my new channel. I didn't know the trick regarding the suggested videos. Your videos are awesome! Thank you for making all the videos with tips and tricks. Have a wonderful weekend ahead.
I'm watching this video a little over a year later after this was post and your subs have increased massively! Thanks for sharing this. I'm a 3D artist with years growing my followers on Behance but now I'm starting to teach and it feels like I'm way back at the beginning! Thanks for sharing this video. Definitely got a new subscriber here.
Danson for Joy just subbed to your channel:). From one homeschool mama to another 📚 loved your morning basket video💛 I’ve been wanting to do some homeschool reviews on my channel at some point.
I am totally going to try this. In Safari, you can simply click 'Develop > Show Page Source' and then search for 'keyword' and it'll take you right to the meta data of the video. 🤩
I'd mostly just focus on it going forward, but it wouldn't hurt to test changing the meta data of a few of your older videos that didn't perform well! (Let me know if that ends up working!)
Thanks for these vid ideas! I've thought of making similar videos that I like, but never knew how to execute them without wanting to really copy them. I get it now. I let a lot of time lapse in uploading....just let life get in the way, or myself, get in the way........but am ready to keep on keeping on.
Wow, thanks for this! I've neveer even heard of the things like metadata. I wrote down everything you said and I'll definitely try it out and hopefully, slowly but surely, my little channel will grow. Wish you all the best.
AHHH it is quite overwhelming to hear all these different strategies, however this one sounds very specific and I will try this in the future! Thanks for the inspiration!
You are a QUEEN! These are great tips and you're really inspiring me. What advice do you have if one wants to make videos on multiple things? I.e. cooking, cleaning / tips, event planning?
Good tips and very true - I have a small channel and ranking number 1 for key words in my niche 😊😊....thinking about branching out a little now as conquered keywords in niche.
I love your channel! One thing I've noticed in several of your videos is the @ sign on the shelf behind you is backwards. Is that on purpose? Just wondering, lol! You're so inspirational! Thanks for the great videos!
Thank you for this video. I think this is the most information I've received from a video in a long while and it was helpful! Can't wait to apply these skills!
One of the 1st things you said hit home. That sometimes you accidentally do something right and not know why, my 1st youtube channel most videos were getting 100-200 views randomly I had 2 get over 10000 in a couple days, I never knew what happened.
Great analytical breakdown as always. Thanks for being transparent and on top of that, sharing your secret strategy, that is definitely going to be very helpful to many
When we first started on You Tube in 2010, we interviewed Rock Stars, it was just starting to get known, the thing that got us on the map at that time was someone famous posting our video on their account. One thing led to another, the video was, "Andy Six riding a little girl's bike," I filmed it, and it was hilarious, a giant 6 ft 2" rock star riding a tiny bicycle and very short video. Thank you Gillian this is a great teaching motivational
Hi, your videos are great help indeed. I keep watching your videos since couple of months. Getting traffic on Blog, especially on affiliate products to sell, has become a real challenge now as people log in directly to any ecommerce site to buy products they want. Could you suggest something on this that would work in 2019 at beginner level ?
All really great tips Gillian. I've just been at this for a 6 months and learning so much from you. My question for you is this, why not do BOTH research for SEO/ ranking and COPY the metadata to trigger suggested views. Especially as RUclips grows it seems new creators would want to use every strategy available to them. What do you think?
@@TaraWagner Well, truthfully this is exactly what I do and what I preach to my clients so I am just curious if I along with some other pretty big names in this industry (which you and I both have knowledge of) are doing it wrong. I mean have a pretty high percentage of suggested video views on my channels even as a new creator and I use both the trending meta data as well as strategic SEO tactics. It seems to work well and I'm just wondering if it truly makes sense to eliminate the SEO altogether. It seems that the message in this video was not to worry about researching for SEO and although I agree that it is only part of the puzzle, I'm not sure it is such a low number to just ignore. I mean I have seen channels that have absolutely zero SEO, zero value, zero strategy and still get millions of views - primarily they are either shocking, or they are showing tons of skin, like borderline pornography, or they are just totally off the wall goofy. I mean I get it, they get people to watch and that's all RUclips cares about, but for all of us (like you an I) who are trying to provide real value, it seems that our only chance to compete with those types of channels is to utilize all of the tools available to us, which is what I preach and what I use. But again, I am still new at this so although I have had some really great early success, I definitely don't have all the answers. Just want to clarify what Gillian was saying about not worrying about SEO or researching keywords, but just to focus on suggested video. Does that make sense?
Ron Lyons total sense and I’m definitely curious. I’ve been focused on SEO almost exclusively but was introduced to this idea recently and have been deliberating it. How quickly do you find you start gaining views on a new video with this method?
@@TaraWagner Well, to be fair, I also use back links as a strategy which I originally learned from Brian Dean but then once I purchased a course from another big YT influencer (not the same one you and I know) who also became my personal mentor, I learned even more about it in relation to videos and specifically YT. Then at a live event I met someone who has also been helping RUclips channels since 2007 and started utilizing him for gaining views with back links - in fact we partnered together so that is one of the products I offer to people and it has helped over 35 other channels really gain some great traction! So all that to say, I get views pretty quickly but my videos are also all over various blogs and social media because of the back links. By using the combination of SEO, suggested view strategies and back links, I am seeing well over 1,000 views in the first couple days and then well over 10,000 views within the first week. As the viewers shift from the back links, the SEO allows the videos to rank in at least a couple of keywords that have a good search volume, and then the suggested views really start kicking in right away and take over from there so the views keep coming long after I have done the back links. Keep in mind with my new channel I am just approaching 400 subscribers so I am still very new. My other channel that you know about, Do Life Healthier, has just over 1,600 subscribers and a couple of those videos are already generating thousands of dollars of revenue on affiliate products. I actually just did a video about that too cause I think it's pretty cool that a new channel like mine can do that. But again, I spend hours on research both for SEO and for what Gillian is talking about in terms of suggested video strategies.
@@TaraWagner I would be very curious what Gillian has to say about all this because I really respect what she is doing and love her stuff!! I actually am planning on buying her cours as well, just wasn't in my budget this last go around.
Thank you so much! I just started my diy macrame channel a week ago and was getting discouraged that nobody seems to see it 😭 I’ll definitely be trying out this method. Is tube buddy a free resource?
Omg I really need to watch your videos!! I want to learn how to macrame and make a video or 2 about it myself ❤ Mostly for entertainment haha I'm subbing to you! Would you mind subbing back?
Did you try the method she is mentioning? I feel all this RUclipsr who are mentioning this tips are saying the same and it’s not working for me 😭😭 they say the same and haven’t helped my channel. I notice your channel has a great amount of subscribers... how did you do that? ☺️
@@rainboweyes_artstudio 💙 Hey 👋🏻 I’m not exactly sure what specifically worked for me...I think it’s a combination of several things. - you have to REALLY want it...like an obsession type of behaviour - but you don’t just want it for yourself, you have really feel like you have something to give to someone else. - be consistent...everyone says that but it’s true. If someone who is a fan of your content knows you upload weekly then they know they can return back and new videos will be there - learn...omg, the learning never stops. Just when you think you did a good job there’s always little tweaks to make it better. - be happy, have fun, and be passionate. People can tell when you are just going through the emotions or uploading for the sake of uploading. You want people to feel your positive vibes (I know that sounds weird)...people can sense your energy even when it’s not authentic. - thumbnail & titles are major! I spend hours on my thumbnails...and they still could be better lol And finally....be patient. Most content creators don’t get a lot of views until they have around 100 videos up. When you have a larger inventory of content you are more easily discovered....think of it this way, if you have 1 video in the billions of videos on YT you’re less likely to get discovered. But if you have 100+ your chances of being seen goes up significantly. These are just some of the things I’ve learned. I’m not an expert and definitely have more room to improve...LOTS of room lol Just have fun, share, and do the best you can with what you’ve got. Everyone’s journey is different 💙

I must say your checklists and videos have not only gave me the confidence to make my channel but great tips as well, so thank you again!!
You are such a smart woman and some of these topics I already been doing without knowing. Love your tips xx 😊
Wow, thanks for this! I've neveer even heard of the things like metadata. I wrote down everything you said and I'll definitely try it out and hopefully, slowly but surely, my little channel will grow.
Wish you all the best.
Thank you so much Gillian!
AHHH it is quite overwhelming to hear all these different strategies, however this one sounds very specific and I will try this in the future! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love the content and already applied to my videos. I should see a difference within a few days of these changes . Thanks for the value content!
Great info that I haven’t heard on other channels! 👍🏻 Can’t wait to try it on one of my next makeup videos! 💋 Thank you! 😘
Very good Gillian, thank you. Will follow your suggestion and let you know results. Stay focused.
This is an AMAZING strategy that I would have never thought of myself. Thank you so much for sharing.
Having not much subscribers this will help a lot!
You are a QUEEN! These are great tips and you're really inspiring me. What advice do you have if one wants to make videos on multiple things? I.e. cooking, cleaning / tips, event planning?
Good tips and very true - I have a small channel and ranking number 1 for key words in my niche 😊😊....thinking about branching out a little now as conquered keywords in niche.
That's awesome! I'd recommend branching out once you've dominated a small niche. :)
You are doing great Emma, well done. I can't wait to be a year down the track :)
Michelle MB, Zesty Girl Thanks Michelle...it'll be here before you know it...wishing you continued success going forward ❤
Gillian Perkins I checked out your channel too and subscribed, great job!
Your analytical skills are amazing. Thanks
This was such an informative video unlike other clickbait videos, thanks for the tips
I found a niche and created my new channel. I'm confident I will learn, grow and upgrade as I go. If you love beauty and comedy, I'm your person.
Thanks for the tips Gill! I will be trying this strategy! Blessings! 💜
Hi, Great advice as always Gillian. I have a new channel and any tips are so helpful. I will be keen to try this with my next video and see how I go.
I love your channel! One thing I've noticed in several of your videos is the @ sign on the shelf behind you is backwards. Is that on purpose? Just wondering, lol! You're so inspirational! Thanks for the great videos!
Very helpful. I am going to try this! Thanks, Gillian!
Thank you Gilliam this was awesome information I saved this video so I MAY REVIEW IT AGAIN.
There was so much info packed into this video! This was great, taking so many notes!
I've managed to grow up to 49 this year. ☺️ Hopefully I can do even better in Q4. Consistency is my Achilles heel for sure.
I agree with you.
Thank you for this video. I think this is the most information I've received from a video in a long while and it was helpful! Can't wait to apply these skills!
One of the 1st things you said hit home. That sometimes you accidentally do something right and not know why, my 1st youtube channel most videos were getting 100-200 views randomly I had 2 get over 10000 in a couple days, I never knew what happened.
Thank you Gillian. Your information is very logical. I will be saving this video and watch it more than once so I can understand your message.
What a highly useful video that makes more sense when growing a channel.....Gillian, I always enjoy the quality you bring to your videos! ❤️
Thank you! ♡ Hope your channel grows fast!
Just started my channel today and I’m going to try to follow these tips thank you so much!!! I’m a small RUclips so these will help☺️
I'm definitely going to try this out! Let's see how much I can grow my channel with this
You are so straight to the point. Appreciate it!
Great analytical breakdown as always. Thanks for being transparent and on top of that, sharing your secret strategy, that is definitely going to be very helpful to many
I will defintely try this method, I have been using a few of the ideas already. Thanks so much
Going to try this on my next weekly video. Great tip and I like the different angle for how to utilise your own metadata.
Great advice!! Just started and definitely need all the help I can get! Thanks a lot
When we first started on You Tube in 2010, we interviewed Rock Stars, it was just starting to get known, the thing that got us on the map at that time was someone famous posting our video on their account. One thing led to another, the video was, "Andy Six riding a little girl's bike," I filmed it, and it was hilarious, a giant 6 ft 2" rock star riding a tiny bicycle and very short video. Thank you Gillian this is a great teaching motivational
I wanna try to make a RUclips channel. Anymore suggestions on how to start Gillian Perkins
Didn´t even watch your video yet, but already liked it! Love your videos!
Thank you! ❤
That was truly helpful! Starting with my channel :)
Hi, your videos are great help indeed. I keep watching your videos since couple of months. Getting traffic on Blog, especially on affiliate products to sell, has become a real challenge now as people log in directly to any ecommerce site to buy products they want. Could you suggest something on this that would work in 2019 at beginner level ?
Just got around to watching this video, very Helpful.
Thank you so much! You always have such unique and smart approaching to problems. This is a genius strategy!
Hey Gillian what software are you using to screen-record? as mine is always bad quality. Yours looks crystal clear.
Me too I’d love to know this, thx
It's probably Fraps. I highly recommended it to.
Thanks for this, definitely going to try this on my next video. Getting subs and views is not easy when you're just starting!
All really great tips Gillian. I've just been at this for a 6 months and learning so much from you. My question for you is this, why not do BOTH research for SEO/ ranking and COPY the metadata to trigger suggested views. Especially as RUclips grows it seems new creators would want to use every strategy available to them. What do you think?
Ron Lyons curious about this too. I would think it might be tough just based on the number of tags you could add.
@@TaraWagner Well, truthfully this is exactly what I do and what I preach to my clients so I am just curious if I along with some other pretty big names in this industry (which you and I both have knowledge of) are doing it wrong. I mean have a pretty high percentage of suggested video views on my channels even as a new creator and I use both the trending meta data as well as strategic SEO tactics. It seems to work well and I'm just wondering if it truly makes sense to eliminate the SEO altogether. It seems that the message in this video was not to worry about researching for SEO and although I agree that it is only part of the puzzle, I'm not sure it is such a low number to just ignore. I mean I have seen channels that have absolutely zero SEO, zero value, zero strategy and still get millions of views - primarily they are either shocking, or they are showing tons of skin, like borderline pornography, or they are just totally off the wall goofy. I mean I get it, they get people to watch and that's all RUclips cares about, but for all of us (like you an I) who are trying to provide real value, it seems that our only chance to compete with those types of channels is to utilize all of the tools available to us, which is what I preach and what I use. But again, I am still new at this so although I have had some really great early success, I definitely don't have all the answers. Just want to clarify what Gillian was saying about not worrying about SEO or researching keywords, but just to focus on suggested video. Does that make sense?
Ron Lyons total sense and I’m definitely curious. I’ve been focused on SEO almost exclusively but was introduced to this idea recently and have been deliberating it. How quickly do you find you start gaining views on a new video with this method?
@@TaraWagner Well, to be fair, I also use back links as a strategy which I originally learned from Brian Dean but then once I purchased a course from another big YT influencer (not the same one you and I know) who also became my personal mentor, I learned even more about it in relation to videos and specifically YT. Then at a live event I met someone who has also been helping RUclips channels since 2007 and started utilizing him for gaining views with back links - in fact we partnered together so that is one of the products I offer to people and it has helped over 35 other channels really gain some great traction! So all that to say, I get views pretty quickly but my videos are also all over various blogs and social media because of the back links. By using the combination of SEO, suggested view strategies and back links, I am seeing well over 1,000 views in the first couple days and then well over 10,000 views within the first week. As the viewers shift from the back links, the SEO allows the videos to rank in at least a couple of keywords that have a good search volume, and then the suggested views really start kicking in right away and take over from there so the views keep coming long after I have done the back links. Keep in mind with my new channel I am just approaching 400 subscribers so I am still very new. My other channel that you know about, Do Life Healthier, has just over 1,600 subscribers and a couple of those videos are already generating thousands of dollars of revenue on affiliate products. I actually just did a video about that too cause I think it's pretty cool that a new channel like mine can do that. But again, I spend hours on research both for SEO and for what Gillian is talking about in terms of suggested video strategies.
@@TaraWagner I would be very curious what Gillian has to say about all this because I really respect what she is doing and love her stuff!! I actually am planning on buying her cours as well, just wasn't in my budget this last go around.
Thank you so much! I just started my diy macrame channel a week ago and was getting discouraged that nobody seems to see it 😭 I’ll definitely be trying out this method. Is tube buddy a free resource?
Omg I really need to watch your videos!! I want to learn how to macrame and make a video or 2 about it myself ❤ Mostly for entertainment haha
I'm subbing to you! Would you mind subbing back?
Did you try the method she is mentioning? I feel all this RUclipsr who are mentioning this tips are saying the same and it’s not working for me 😭😭 they say the same and haven’t helped my channel. I notice your channel has a great amount of subscribers... how did you do that? ☺️
@@rainboweyes_artstudio 💙 Hey 👋🏻 I’m not exactly sure what specifically worked for me...I think it’s a combination of several things.
- you have to REALLY want it...like an obsession type of behaviour
- but you don’t just want it for yourself, you have really feel like you have something to give to someone else.
- be consistent...everyone says that but it’s true. If someone who is a fan of your content knows you upload weekly then they know they can return back and new videos will be there
- learn...omg, the learning never stops. Just when you think you did a good job there’s always little tweaks to make it better.
- be happy, have fun, and be passionate. People can tell when you are just going through the emotions or uploading for the sake of uploading. You want people to feel your positive vibes (I know that sounds weird)...people can sense your energy even when it’s not authentic.
- thumbnail & titles are major! I spend hours on my thumbnails...and they still could be better lol
And finally....be patient. Most content creators don’t get a lot of views until they have around 100 videos up. When you have a larger inventory of content you are more easily discovered....think of it this way, if you have 1 video in the billions of videos on YT you’re less likely to get discovered. But if you have 100+ your chances of being seen goes up significantly.
These are just some of the things I’ve learned. I’m not an expert and definitely have more room to improve...LOTS of room lol Just have fun, share, and do the best you can with what you’ve got. Everyone’s journey is different 💙
@@SimplyInspiredbySheena THANK YOU SO MUCH! you are so awesome to take the time to answer to me! I really appreciate the info, I am still working on defining my style.
