Video SEO secrets, how to rank YouTube videos on Google.  You came to the right video, okay? Because this one here is gonna show you the steps you need to go through. And they're simple and easy. These things are not hard to do. By the end of this video, you'll know exactly how to rank your video on Google so that you get more views. Do me a favor though, since I've given you that information. Give me a thumbs up if you would. And don't forget to subscribe. Hit that subscribe button down there. Turn it from red to gray and ring the bell. The bell, the notification bell. Make sure you turn on all notifications so you're notified each and every time I go live or if I upload a video. Now let's get right into this. This is simple stuff.  First off, let's talk about what SEO is. SEO is nothing more than search engine optimization. Now, search engine optimization allows results to come back to you when you search in Google such as your videos. And there's certain steps you need to do to your video to get them to rank. Let's walk you through about five steps so that you can get this done simple and easy. Step one, you wanna make videos that have traffic potential. What are traffic potential? Well, we break it down two ways. Number one is they have to be searching for that particular subject matter, okay? That's the first thing. And number two, they have to want to watch it in a video form as opposed to reading it. So does your content match those two things? Now, certain things just kinda lend themselves. Like if I wanna see a recipe, I'm probably gonna wanna watch a video on it because it's gonna be pretty interesting rather than just read a recipe. There's tons of recipes online but to actually watch a video on one, that's a whole lot more interesting. So I watch a lot of videos on that subject matter. So when you're thinking about making your video, you wanna think in advance. You don't wanna make a video and think about how to market it. You wanna think, what are people searching for? What will they watch? And I'll make a video on that. Now, there's several tools you can use to do that. I like TubeBuddy. I will put a link below where you can actually get a free account at TubeBuddy that will help you with all these steps. I'm gonna walk you through here. But get TubeBuddy. It's a tool that really is invaluable when you're making videos and putting them on YouTube and you wanna get them ranked. This is the tool you wanna use. Like I said, there's a link below for TubeBuddy. Click on it and you can get the software absolutely free. If you wanna get the upgraded version, it will also give you 20% off the upgraded version, but you certainly don't have to. You could just use the free one if you choose. Step number two, create an optimized video, okay? You wanna an optimized video. What do I mean by optimized? You wanna have all your keywords in place. You wanna have your titles in place. You wanna have your thumbnails in place so that all these things work together to get you more views. You wanna optimize the video. And once again, I'm gonna refer back to TubeBuddy. TubeBuddy is excellent for that. It's really good. You can actually make thumbnails in there. You can figure out your titles. You can figure out your keywords. You can put your tags in there. And you can do all of that for absolutely free. So don't forget, grab TubeBuddy while you're watching this video. It's in the description below.  It's an absolute game changer. You don't have to think about this. Somebody else has already done it and they put it into some software. So you wanna create an optimized video. That's step number two. Step number three is next. Step number three is closed captions. Closed captions. What's closed captions? Closed captions, if you notice on the bottom of a video on YouTube, you have a little CC button. If you click on it, the words actually pop up on the bottom of the screen that the person is saying on the screen. So this is super important because there's a lot of hearing impaired people. But it's not just hearing impaired people. And plus the fact that, you know, why wouldn't you want it for hearing impaired people? Okay, you need to get your message out to everybody, but it's not just hearing impaired people that closed captions are good for. How many times have you been in a meeting or with somebody and you're looking at your phone and you see a video you'd like to watch and you'd like to get the information, but you don't wanna be playing it as they're talking. You don't wanna be playing it in a meeting, but you can hit the closed caption and you can look down at the words and you could be reading it. And a lot of people do that. You'll be amazed how many people in an airport, in a boardroom with their friends or whatever are looking down at a video and they're actually reading what is on the video. So that's gonna get you more views if you have the closed captions. And if you don't, it's gonna cost you. Step four, have a great thumbnail. What's a thumbnail? A thumbnail is what you're gonna see when you search through YouTube, a picture of that video all through YouTube, okay? You're gonna see that on every single video. Now, if you do not upload a thumbnail, you'll still have a thumbnail. It's just not gonna be a good one. And here's why. What YouTube does is they take a screen capture from part of your video and you'd never know what part. It does give you the opportunity to select the one. It'll give you a few choices. But that's gonna be your thumbnail. And normally, those are not very good. Those don't really stand out. You want a thumbnail that really stands out, that really looks good. And once again, I'm gonna get back to TubeBuddy because you could use TubeBuddy for that. And this is free, guys. If you haven't grabbed TubeBuddy yet, you need to do it. But you could use TubeBuddy to create that free thumbnail. Or you could have a graphic artist do it. Or maybe you're artistic and you can do it. But please, and I know, I know, I know, I didn't do this in the beginning, please create thumbnails. In the beginning, I didn't do it. It cost me so many views. And I was making videos and not getting any views. So I was putting out all that work for nothing. Make sure you have great thumbnails. Let me just show you this one real quick. When you're doing your thumbnails, make sure it's congruent with whatever your message is. And I wanna show you one on the screen in just a second. But make sure that it really kind of brings across exactly what your video is about. Now, this thumbnail here that I'm putting on the screen right now is how to tie a knot. And if you notice, it says how to tie a knot. Mirrored slowly. So it's gonna slowly show you how to tie a knot. That's exactly what you wanted, right? That's what you searched for. That's what you expect. That's a good thumbnail. Now, check out the thumbnail I've got on the screen now. This is a bad thumbnail. Why? Because it doesn't really demonstrate how to tie a knot. It's got some kid there. And you can't even tell if he's wearing a tie. Not a good thumbnail. Let me show you one more example here before we move on to the last step. This is how to learn SEO. That's what this video is about, how to learn SEO fast and effectively. And the thumbnail just says learn SEO. Now, I go back and forth on whether I want words on my thumbnails or not. And I think some videos need one or two words, whereas others don't need any words. And keep in mind, the words on your thumbnail do not have to match with the title of your video is. In this example here, it just says learn SEO, okay? That's not even a full title. But I would always recommend that you only put two or three words on a thumbnail. Too many words on there is gonna be difficult to read. And keep in mind, most people are watching your videos on mobile devices.  So you're wasting your time and it's a bad thumbnail. And step number five is add timestamps. Now, what is a timestamp? YouTube has this really cool tool where if you put the time of, let's say one minute, 31 seconds, and you type that in your description, they will convert that into a clickable link. You don't have to do anything, but figure out at what point you wanna put your timestamps. So maybe you have the 10 steps to riding a horse, okay?  And you can put those timestamps so that when people click on it, they can go to that time on your video. This is unbelievably helpful because a lot of people will look at a video and then they look down in the description to see if it has timestamps to see if any of the items are on there that they wanna watch. Now, probably they are because they're already interested in the video, but if the timestamp isn't there, they're not gonna be able to click on it. So it's so, so important to do that. And it's a free tool that's built into YouTube. You don't have to buy anything, you don't have to do anything. The only thing you have to do is know where that situation's gonna happen or when that step's gonna happen and you can put it in your description. Now, right here, I'm gonna put one of my videos up and I'm gonna show you what those timestamps look like. And as you can see, each one of those timestamps is a clickable link and you can click and go to that time in the video. This is super helpful to somebody viewing your videos. You just gotta do it. Okay, let me give you a few rules for timestamps that you don't wanna just stick them all over. You wanna do it in this order. So the first one is add timestamps to the video in the description. Don't place it in a pinned comment. Don't do that, okay? Place each timestamp on a new line. Specify the label on the same line. Also, keep the label brief but descriptive. Your label should be a direct statement of what the section is about. Not put in pasta in the pan and cook it for 10 or 15 minutes. It should be something like boil the pasta, okay? That's what you should do. Next thing is list the timestamps in chronological order. I don't know why I have to tell you this but I've seen people do this wrong. Don't add a timestamp for something at the end of your video before earlier points in the video. It makes no sense. Also, keep labels to around 40 characters or less. Google truncates any longer ones. So keep that in mind. Don't add too many timestamps. Google hasn't mentioned a maximum or minimum number of timestamps but they'll show in the search results. However, it's unlikely that they'll show a carousel with hundreds of them. I don't think it's gonna happen. And who wants to read those anyhow? They might as well just watch the video. As a general rule of thumb, we'd recommend no more than 10 timestamps for video. Align the on-screen content with the label. If your label says chop the onion, try to add the timestamp when you're visibly chopping the onion on the screen. In other words, they need to match up. So those five steps should really help you. I do wanna kinda give you a bonus here though. If you've got a page that's ranking really high on Google, get your video embedded on that page because it's gonna get it in front of more people. And of course, the other bonus is list your videos on social media. Put your videos out there where people can see them. I think that's a big mistake that a lot of people make is they make a YouTube video and that's the only place that ever lives is on YouTube. You know, I see so many really top recipe guys. They'll have a recipe page and they have what click here to get all the ingredients and they have that video also on that recipe page that you just watched. So it's in a couple different places. And don't forget to use playlist. These are all my bonuses, I got too many. But playlists are great guys. So let's say that you're into cooking and you do barbecue recipes, you do Asian recipes, you do Italian recipes. Make playlist for each one of those and add that video to this playlist. When you add a video to a playlist, it actually creates another URL outside of the main one that's on your channel. So now you've got two URLs and you've doubled your SEO. And yes, you could put it in two playlist and you could put it in three or four playlist. Just make sure it matches whatever the playlist description is. You could certainly take a barbecue video and put it in barbecue videos and outdoor cooking. You could do that. And you could also put it in a grilling playlist. So now you've got four URLs for that one video. All these things are gonna help you get more views guys. Please put them into place. And I know some of it's a little complicated. And if it is to you, please put a question below. If you've had some success with this, I'd love to hear about it. Put that in the comments below too. Tell me your story, introduce yourself.

I can't believe God did this. In the very early church there was a man named Stephen. He was performing signs and wonders when those from the synagogue rose up and enlisted men to lie about him in order to get him in trouble.  He was executed by the authority of a man who was ravaging the church, entering house after house, dragging out men and women to jail. This man had a deep hatred for Jesus and his followers until he was met with a voice from heaven saying, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? Saul asked, who are you Lord? I am Jesus. In but a moment Saul's identity was transformed he was forgiven and yet we often think that we can't be forgiven because of what we've done in our past but right now the evil one is using that shame as a tool to keep you distance from God. When you are his child nothing can separate you from the love of God.


Obito Uchiha's path was said to be a different kind of Uchiha. He wasn't filled with anger or hatred, but rather with love. He didn't have exceptional talent or intelligence of the other Uchiha, but he had heart and determination. Obito wanted to help those around him, and become the first member of the Uchiha clan to become Hokage. Obito had the same heart as Naruto. He had the drive and the willingness to help others in need, but not everyone can be great. Not everyone gets as lucky as Naruto did. Obito was born in the Hidden Leaf, and his father and mother were unknown Uchiha members and they were not in his life. The young orphan possessed a heart unlike many other in the Uchiha clan. Oftentimes their hearts were tainted with generational anger or tragedy, which was completely valid. But Obito's heart wasn't. He was kind and helpful and idealistic. The young Uchiha wasn't in it to become a powerful shinobi, or to become the strongest one. No. Obito had one goal, and that goal was becoming Hokage, and to help those who can help themselves. Along with that, Obito was emotional. When it came to those that he loved, he loved them with a full heart and strive to give them the world if he could. After passing the academy, Obito would join Minato's team, comprised of his rival Kakashi Hatake, himself and the girl he loved, Rinnohara, who played a very important role in Obito's life. While Obito paled in comparison to his teammate Kakashi, Obito was still a decently talented shinobi and would later activate his sharan-gan while defending his teammate. It was during that same day that Kakashi was being promoted to Jonin. And it was also that day where Kakashi would learn the importance of friendship. And it was also then that Obito showed his care towards his former rival. When he threw Kakashi's body away from falling rocks, and instead he was crushed by the boulders, destroying the entire right side of his body. And as Obito was dying, he gifted his former rival with the only gift that he could possibly give him. Later we find out that Obito would be rescued by Madara Uchiha and nursed back to life, as the elder Uchiha implanted the cells of the first Hokage Hashirama Senju into the right side of his body. While being nursed back to life, Obito heard that Rin and Kakashi were close by. He alongside Waitzetsu, masked his identity and went to go visit Kakashi and Rin, who was now the three-tailed Jinshiriki. Obito's first reunion between his two teammates was Kakashi and Paling Rin, with a lightning blade, which would then activate his Mangekyosharinga. And so it was at this point that Obito's purpose for living and his demeanor changed, as he brutally murdered all of the hidden Miss Shinobi around him in the display of complete rage. The Uchiha was now destined to find a way to bring Rin back to life, and to try and imagine a world of distorted peace. A lot of Obito's motivation has been placed alongside Naruto, and I believe there are some misconceptions around Obito's motivation and his reasoning. Obito did not simply turn because Kakashi killed Rin. He says this to bait Kakashi into anger. Obito turned because he understood that through his own experience, not everyone gets lucky in life. As Madara said, whether it's light, there are shadows. His goal was initially to become Hokage and to protect everybody in the world. But after seeing Rin die, his goal was to protect everyone from everything, from any harm at all. Instead of protection, it was prevention. Obito didn't want anyone to face the amount of suffering that he had faced, and he truly believed that Madara's eternal genjutsu was the remedy to pain and to suffering. Because of everything that Obito lost, including his mind and the ability to see right from wrong, Obito was easily manipulated by Madara. This idealistic mindset that he had had him consistently repeating the idea of protection. When he was with Rin, he was always dedicated to her protection. When he saw Kakashi's body on the ground, he sacrificed himself. We have to remember that Obito was an orphan of the Uchiha clan, and one that wasn't abnormally gifted like Itachi or Shisui. He didn't have anybody taking care of him or watching out for him. So when Rin entered his life, she not only gave him a companion, but a friend who cared about him. As he says, Rin was his light and his hope, the only thing that kept him going, the only thing that kept him fighting. Yes, he wanted to save the village, but what good was saving the village if he couldn't save her.  He and Naruto were very much the same in many aspects. They were both orphans with strong innate abilities. But most of all, they had the same ideals. They both wanted to become hokage and to protect their friends. However, if Naruto ever were to stumble and to fall off his path, he had people rallying him, people that could correct him, and bring him back. But when Obito stumbled and fell off of his path, a new one of darkness was created. And without anyone to bring him back, Obito kept falling. Obito did not have many people in his corner. That is the difference between the two. That is the difference between Naruto and Obito. Naruto had Kakashi, Jiraiya, the third hokage, all of his friends from the leaf and other villages. Obito, however, didn't. He only had three. Minato, Rin, and Kakashi. So when Obito lost the one that meant the most to him, Kakashi and Minato were not there to bring him back to the leaf or to the light. The only person behind him was Madura, influencing him and telling him that this world was hell, and that there was a better world waiting for him. A shortcut that could bring everybody back. After his second chance at life, Obito rarely lived in the present. As they often reiterate, he couldn't see. When Rin died, the light that he saw faded. He lived in a reality that was completely void of light. He even helped in slaughtering his own people and the assassination of his mentor. Obito Uchiha was unable to see a world without Rin, and so he didn't. After a second chance at life, but a world without Rin, the light that Obito had became an absolute darkness. Was my soul light and hope in this dark world lost Rin? The whole world as I saw it changed. It became a black ha-


Good afternoon everyone and welcome. This is Melissa with thestockswitch.com and I'm doing a spy market review. I actually called the market this morning in the room aggressively, was an incredible call because this really isn't some fantastic bullish cap. But I saw the market was going to hold today. I saw the market was going to rally today in the gap. I also saw, and I'm saying right now, that the market is going to make a new high today. It's 11 o'clock. It's Tuesday. No, it's Wednesday. It's Wednesday. And the market is going to make a new high today. The prior highs 213, dream target today is 215. That's almost $5 from here.  But I did see the gap and read the gap correctly and knew the numbers. Again, it's all about the numbers. I mean, that's how I really know how to trade so well. And you learn that from reading gaps, which I teach in the gap class, which is the 26 golden gap rating points. Anyways, getting back to this. Once we get over to 11, we will really, really, really, really blow. Like, I don't know what time the data happens today. It could happen soon here, right around lunch, around 12 o'clock, another hour, or before. But this is like no chance of failure that the market's higher this year. And I've been discussing this for a long time. Again, this is going to be one of the greatest things I've ever called because I'm seeing it so far in advance, what the market's going to do, bullish. But many people have been calling this market for more than the last year to fall, to crash, to break, to change trend. People are still saying the market's going to crash. People are still saying the market's not going to get over the high. People are still saying that after the market gets up over the high, it's going to crash after that because people are saying it's extended. I'm saying that it's not. And 211 is the number we blow over today. Prior highs around 213-ish over here, which happened last year. Actually happened in December. December, January, February, March, April, yeah. So it took about four months for the market to get going again here. And it's going to do it. April, I knew it would be a bullish month. It's continuing and following through. This is amazing, though, the way that we're doing this because I got to tell you. This gap today was not something that, I mean, I don't even know what to say. I mean, this gap is not something that this daily, what I'm trying to say is that the gap in the market, it was a bullish gap up today. And you don't buy every gap up and I'll show every gap down. But I'm saying this was a tough bullish gap for the market to hold. And the fact that we did and we held it so aggressively, we held it perfectly at the least level of support and we held it right away in the first five minutes and everything that it held the numbers perfectly. I'm saying that that is a sign, a sign of strength. It gives me confirmation and conviction that the market's higher and we'll make a new high today. Because we didn't really have to do this in the gap today. Although I did say in the room this morning it doesn't matter what the market does today is bullish. Like I saw it this morning, I saw it in the gap. That literally, I said if we could fell all morning long, we'd still be bullish today and hold bullishly and flip and close bullishly. And yesterday I said the market would be neutral. That we'd fall first and then rally or rally first and then fall. And we basically ended up closing actually quite frankly, pretty bullish. It was more than neutrals beyond neutrals, neutral slash bullish. But we did fall on morning yesterday, but I knew we weren't going to go anywhere. I knew it. And when I saw the gap this morning, I was like, wow, because I really was surprised that we're gapping up this much. But then again, because of the look of this thing. And but then again, I'm really not surprised at anything the market does bullishly because this market is so strong. So I say that, but then I'm like, you know what, it's so great. And this is so great. The market is a perfect chart to the upside in ways I can't even explain. And I was talking about the room this morning, so I'm going to have to make a new name for the market because fabulous doesn't even describe how the market and when I say on my land, it doesn't even describe what I'm thinking when I see the market. It's like I have to find words to better describe. I'm going to make a word to describe how amazingly bullish this market is because there isn't a word right now in the current vocabulary language that can describe how fabulous this market is enough. I'm going to have to make up a new one just like I've made up a lot of new words. But I called the market long right in here. And the target's 215. 213 is realistic. 211 for short, 212, 213, 215 is the target for the market today. And I call this aggressively. This was so aggressive. It was so beautiful, though. I mean, really a beautiful call. So you could be long the market today. You're in it to the target. You could be out a little bit if you wanted to, just to get out of something profitable in the morning. But the market will hold this beautiful, beautiful green bar today. That is the low of the day in the market. It was 209.95-ish. That's the low of the day in the spot. Market is higher. Follow through tomorrow as well. Even if we get over the high today, follow through tomorrow. Follow through here. We're going to see follow through three green days at least yesterday, today, tomorrow. And if we don't get up over the high today, which, you know, I believe that we do, unless we run out of day. And we could run out of the day. The market goes as a four. So if we run out of the day, either way, follow through tomorrow. Follow through tomorrow no matter what. And no chance of failure, follow through tomorrow. Whether it's in the gap or in the live day, however it sets up, market higher today and tomorrow. This is Melissa with TheStocksWish.com.
