Youtube

- Hey guys, it's Ben Medina.
Hope you guys are having a awesome day today.
Today I'm gonna talk about how I use YouTube for my blog.
(lively music)
So this year I made a conscious effort
to actively use YouTube as my primary blogging method,
and there's two particular reasons why I decided to do this.
So the first reason why I'm using YouTube
to actually create my blog posts
is the ease of finding good topics
and this is all thanks to an amazing tool
I've been using for about a month or so and I love it.
It's called TubeBuddy.
You can learn about information and check it out
and it's actually free so you can actually
download it for free, just check it out.
A link is down below.
You can also check out the play plan.
I'm on the play plan and if you are going to use TubeBuddy,
just FYI that is in the clip links and will get compensated.
Thanks to TubeBuddy, I can easily come up with topics
for my YouTube channel and blog, just like that.
The second reason I decided to use YouTube for my blog,
is really because of YouTube Live.
Now, I have done a couple of YouTube Lives in the past
and they're different than pre-produced videos
like this one that I'm actually shooting
in that YouTube Live, obviously doesn't have
the kind of music or kind of edited feel
that this video does, but what I really love
about YouTube live is that it's just so easy
to create YouTube content because you just go live.
And my third reason why I've decided to use YouTube
as my main blogging platform is that it's just so nice
when you have the YouTube video on a blog post
because you can actually read the blog post
or you can actually watch a YouTube video.
You kind of have this sense of me
and kind of what I'm about, because you can see me
and you can also hear me.
So that's another reason why I just love using YouTube
as a blogging weapon.
Plus a bonus reason why I love using YouTube
is that to make a blog post, all I gotta do
is just take the captions file,
and then just edit it a little bit, add some photos
a nice couple headers and have my blog post just like that,
so that's one good reason why I love
using YouTube as my blogging weapon.
So that kind explains for the reasons
why I'm using YouTube as my blogging weapon.
Now I'm gonna go over the actual process by which
I actually create my YouTube videos,
and you can probably adapt this process for your own.
The first thing that I have to do
whenever I decide to make a YouTube video
is I have to decide on a topic.
Now I use a tool called TubeBuddy.
They have a great feature called the Tag Explorer
where you can actually type in key words
and it will tell you what the competition is,
or whether it's a good video topic idea
or if maybe you might need to try
and come up with something else.
And in the next clip I'm gonna
show you a demo of how to use it.
So today I'm gonna show you how I actually use TubeBuddy
to come up with my topics for my YouTube videos.
So the first thing I do is I go to the Search bar
and I type in some keywords,
for example, let's just say "YouTube Live".
And you can see there's all these
different examples that come up.
So let's say "YouTube Live Streaming Tutorial".
That seems like a good topic.
So now, what I can do, it'll actually appear over here,
but lemme show you how TubeBuddy works.
So if I click over here to TubeBuddy,
this is the TubeBuddy Dashboard and I go to Tab Explorer,
what I can do, is I can basically,
give this a few moments to load.
What I can do is I can basically
type this search term in here,
for example, "YouTube Live Streaming Tutorial",
click Explore, and it will actually analyze it
and tell me whether this is a good YouTube video to make,
based off how much competition there is,
as well as whether people are
actually searching for this term.
So, it'll give it up in a few moments
and it'll actually give me a score
based off of whether they think I should do it.
So as you can see here, Search Volume is pretty high,
Competition is very high, Overall Score is poor,
meaning I should probably not title my video this video.
However, let's see if we do something else,
so here's some other tags, like other options you could use.
Let's try "How To Livestream On YouTube".
And for kicks, lemme put in the year, 2018.
And it's taking a little bit of time.
So now it's actually analyzing this new title.
And you can see now, unlike the other one,
Search Volume is relatively, somewhat on the low-ish end,
the Competition's pretty low,
the score meaning it's very good
75 out of 100, meaning this is a video
I should definitely make.
So now that I have my YouTube topic thanks to TubeBuddy,
the next step is to actually save
these ideas in a Trello board.
Now I've talked about Trello multiple times
on the channel if you want to learn more about it.
You can check out the YouTube cards.
I think it's over here, or over there,
wherever, I always get this confused.
You can check out the YouTube cards,
where I have a total playlist
on how to use Trello more effectively.
So definitely check that out, but as my second step
I actually take my YouTube ideas
and I save 'em in a Trello board.
So after I've inserted the video into Trello
and I've kind of finagled the actual description,
the title, I've made an outline,
the next step is create the video.
So usually I will either go live,
or I will shoot a video like this one,
edit it, add some music, and then upload it.
Once I've created the video, the next step is
to actually craft a description.
Now, the way I actually craft my descriptions
is I use the tags I created using TubeBuddy
and I craft a description that is
designed to one, appeal to YouTube search,
but also make it sound kind of natural
and enable you to actually find the video
so that you can check it out.
But after the YouTube video is created,
one of the nice things about YouTube
is that there are all these
interactive elements you can use,
so I always add YouTube cards,
and also end screens to insure
that you guys can interact with not just
this video but all sorts of videos,
and it creates nice interactive elements
that enable you to really take advantage
of (mumbles) on YouTube
and you can check out all this great content.
The last step in actually creating the YouTube video
and getting it ready for publication is,
I need a captions file.
So I like to use a service called Rev.com.
I will put a link for them down below in the description,
but they're my favorite way that I create my caption files.
And the really nice thing about Rev
is that you can actually sync up
your Rev account with your YouTube account,
so then it will actually upload the captions
direct to YouTube and I don't have to do anything,
so that's really, really cool.
And finally, the last and certainly not
the least important is actually making the blog post.
So what I actually do is I actually
take the Youtube video, I embed it on my blog,
again I take the captions file
and then I edit the captions file to make my blog post,
and then I add all the pictures and images,
I include the social share buttons
and just like that I have a new blog post on my blog,
all emanating from my YouTube channel.
So that in a nutshell, is basically how
I use YouTube to create my blog content.
So I hope this video was super helpful for you guys.
