Hi there❣️ I began putting things together about why I get many results from Google Search. I was glad to realize that once we’re found on Google, it’s a great window of opportunity for our YouTube videos to catch the public eye. Then I thought about what was popping up when I searched using specific key words for my topics of interests. I imagined there were a few contributing factors of mine for pretty good SEO but hadn’t taken Pinterest into account. That is to say, I was oblivious to the fact that my images were appearing there on Google from my Pinterest Pins. Did you know that there’s lots of great content on Pinterest besides artsy things? You name it, there’s a picture, article, tutorial, video, etc on a variety of topics. I found out years earlier about Etsy having great visibility too with any related content that mentions it. If you have an Etsy shop and good search terms, boom! If you make a video and mention Etsy, people will find it on Google. The visibility is great for sellers of any type of sales on Etsy, whether tangible or passive income. Do any of you Pin on Pinterest or have an Etsy shop? If so, have you searched for terms and come across your Pins or shops? Just curious and if you haven’t already tried any of these two, perhaps you might want to explore those possibilities. I hope this has been somewhat helpful. Have a good one. 🙂

what would you place inside of it and to whom would you give it? Where would you hang it? Let’s see….. I’d put in something sweet, something happy, something different, something to learn, a greeting card and anything else that might fit into it. I would hang it in a spot with a sign that says “Free”. It would need to be a place that draws the most attention from someone who needs some cheer, is curious, appreciative, enjoys pleasant surprises and wants to learn more about the stocking. May your Stockings be filled with all good things that the Christmas season brings. ❤️🎄😍🎄❤️

I have the basic paid subscription to Vid IQ and I use it to give me basic guidance when uploading videos. To help remind me to use end cards etc. and to score my title, thumbnail and description. I was digging around in there last night and asked it for 'optimisation' help on videos on my channel and saw a lot of videos with titles that scored low (like 44/100 or 60/100). If you use Vid IQ and haven't nosied around into it much like I hadn't, it was good to float back over old videos before I had Vid IQ and swap out titles (video below is showing you how it works). I only picked titles that were true for my video and - being old videos it doesn't matter that much but while watching the new Knives Out movie it was the perfect computer job to tootle around with. Do you use either free or paid Vid IQ much and if so, what do you use it for? Signed, Major Underuser of VidIQ.

Those who use DaVinci or similar, do you have pretty powerful computers? I am finding it freezes my MacBook Air more often recently. I think my processor and memory are maybe borderline, even for shorter videos.

Today for the first time YouTube offered me the option of A/B testing. I chose to test titles but not thumbnails. Next time I may make different thumbnails to test. Have any of you tried this option? What feedback did you get?
