This article will walk you through creating a YouTube account, selecting a file type, and writing a title and description. Next, we&#8217;ll cover how to schedule your video to appear in your subscribers&#8217; feeds. After reading this article, you&#8217;ll be well on your way to creating and publishing your first YouTube video. It&#8217;s really that easy!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_YouTube_channel\"><\/span>Creating a YouTube channel<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you get started with your YouTube channel, consider what you want it to achieve. What types of viewers will you be targeting? What types of reactions are you hoping for? Write these things down so that you can better plan your content. After all, if you&#8217;re unable to get the viewers&#8217; attention, how will you make them stay interested? If you can&#8217;t answer these questions, there are a few other tips you can follow for successful content creation.<\/p>\n<p>Publish high-quality content that provides true value to your audience. Create a channel with video content that delivers valuable information, education, or entertainment. Consistently posting content on YouTube builds brand trust. People want to subscribe to trusted brands and channels. For example, a mattress brand such as Purple has been successful by providing high-quality videos and educating its audience. Publish content regularly, and you will soon see an increase in subscribers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Selecting_a_file_type\"><\/span>Selecting a file type<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Depending on the format of your video, YouTube will allow you to choose the quality and codec used to encode it. The best codec to use is H.264, which makes up 92% of streaming formats. Choose the frame rate of your video, which should be between 30 and 60 frames per second. Otherwise, you can try reducing these settings, but it will likely result in a lower quality video.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re using your phone to capture or edit your video, you&#8217;ll want to select the best file format for YouTube. Make sure to choose an aspect ratio (the ratio of the video to the screen) that matches the size of your target audience. For example, if your target audience is mostly computer users, you&#8217;ll want to use a 16:9 aspect ratio. High-resolution videos look great on large screens, but lower quality ones will not.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Writing_a_title_for_your_video\"><\/span>Writing a title for your video<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re struggling with how to write a title for your YouTube video, don&#8217;t fret &#8211; you&#8217;re not alone! Titles can be one of the most difficult parts of the creative process. Here are a few tips to make your video title memorable and effective. Also, remember to use keywords in your title! Try to think of keywords your potential customers would type into Google to find your video. This way, you&#8217;ll increase the likelihood that your title will be found in search results.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to your video title, you should also include your target keyword (in our example, &#8220;paleo snacks&#8221;). You can use the autocomplete feature of YouTube to find relevant keywords. You can also use other keyword research tools. Remember: the more relevant your content is, the more likely viewers will be to watch your video. You can boost your video&#8217;s ranking by including the current year. This is because people are searching for content that is relevant to them.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Scheduling_your_video_to_appear_in_subscribers_feeds\"><\/span>Scheduling your video to appear in subscribers&#8217; feeds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To schedule your video to appear in subscribers&#8217; feeds on YouTube, you need to click on &#8220;Videos&#8221; on the left sidebar of the editor and then select the option &#8220;Schedule&#8221;. The video will be published at a date and time you set. You can change this date and time by editing the settings in the Content section. You can also set a reminder to remind your subscribers about the video&#8217;s premiere.<\/p>\n<p>Another great way to schedule your video to appear in your subscribers&#8217; feeds is to plan ahead and monitor the content of your competitors. By tracking these competitors&#8217; content schedules, you can learn which timing works best for your channel. Likewise, creating a content calendar will help you plan ahead, fill in gaps, and cross promote content. It&#8217;s also a good idea to check your audience&#8217;s habits. You can find out their viewing habits by using YouTube Analytics or other third-party tools.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Upload Video to YouTube If you&#8217;re wondering how to upload video to YouTube, you&#8217;re not alone.
