There are a few tips and tricks you can use to make this process simple and easy. These tips will help you create a compelling description and title, optimize your video for search, and add subtitles to your video. You can also create a poll using the new feature called YouTube Annotations, which is currently in beta testing.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_free_YouTube_poll\"><\/span>Create a free YouTube poll<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you have a YouTube channel, creating a poll can help keep viewers watching longer. These polls are interactive, allowing viewers to vote on a question as they watch. They can also be used for business purposes, allowing them to see what their customers think about their products. You can create a YouTube poll using the YouTube Creator Studio. Polls are not the same as those found in the community section of YouTube, or even within a video. They are managed in the cards function of YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>To create a poll on YouTube, you must have at least 1,000 subscribers. If you want to make it available to everyone, you can use the Community tab. If your channel has less than 1,000 subscribers, you will need to apply to become a member of YouTube&#8217;s beta program. To access the beta program, go to the YouTube Studio and click the Community tab. Once you&#8217;re logged in, click on the &#8220;Edit&#8221; button on the tool bar.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Write_a_compelling_description\"><\/span>Write a compelling description<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step in making your video successful on YouTube is to write an engaging and compelling description. The description should be as short as possible and include a summary of what you&#8217;re discussing in the video. It should also indicate the audience you&#8217;re targeting. If you want your video to be more visible on YouTube, consider including a call to action or contact information below the description. You should also optimize the description for SEO purposes.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t try to incorporate long-tail keywords into the description, which appears when users click on &#8220;show more.&#8221; Avoid using too long a sentence &#8211; long sentences are difficult to read, and can be confusing for your viewers. Remember that most of your video viewers will be viewing your video on their mobile devices, so it&#8217;s important to make it as mobile-friendly as possible. Make sure the description is written in short, concise sentences with no more than one or two words.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Optimize_your_videos_title_and_description_for_search\"><\/span>Optimize your video&#8217;s title and description for search<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Your title and description are extremely important for getting traction on YouTube, and Google understands this. Using compelling titles is crucial to getting views. Don&#8217;t just include popular search terms &#8211; instead, try to answer a question that people are searching for. You can also include the search term in the description. If you&#8217;re unsure how to optimize these aspects, consider the following tips:<\/p>\n<p>When optimizing your video&#8217;s title and description, include the keyword in the first 25-30 characters, and use it two to three times. Include relevant hashtags, as well. These are keyword-shortening tags that search engines use to rank content. The first one should be your primary keyword. You should use the rest of the description to describe your video&#8217;s content. The description should include links to subscribe and learn more.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_subtitles\"><\/span>Add subtitles<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you are posting a video on YouTube, you may be wondering how to add subtitles to your video. Luckily, YouTube has a great solution for that! Adding subtitles and closed captions to your video is easy and quick! Simply login to your account, go to the Video Manager, and select the &#8216;Subtitles and CC&#8217; tab. Select English or any of the other 160 languages. Once you&#8217;ve chosen your language, type the captions in the &#8216;Captions&#8217; box above the media player. Then, pause the video and click the &#8216;+&#8217; sign to lock the caption in place. The subtitles will now be displayed below your video.<\/p>\n<p>To add subtitles to a video on YouTube, first sign in to your account. Select &#8216;Studios&#8217; from the list of options. Look for the &#8216;Subtitles&#8217; option and click it. Once you see this menu, you&#8217;ll see a list of videos. Choose the one you want to subtitle. Click &#8216;Yes&#8217; to submit your contribution. Your subtitles will be reviewed and added to your video.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"234\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JI7Vr8K18HA\" width=\"418\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Ask a Question on YouTube?
