Title: Your Video Title Can Make You Popular!
Problem/Solution/Benefits: A bad or boring Video Title will often reduce the number of people who will view your video. A good and relevant video title helps get your video more views, increase engagement, and improve your click-through rate, recommendations and Search Engine Optimization.
1. Put thought into your video title before you record content, if possible. A great video title should introduce your video, and not be clickbait, boring, or an afterthought. Your title should accurately represent your video. Avoid using many words. Be as succinct as possible. Your title may be truncated.
2. Cause your video to stand out and be memorable to viewers. The more interesting and informative your video is, the less likely they will click away.
Treat your viewers with respect by giving them quality relevant information.
3. Your viewer is emotional. Spark their curiosity by posing a question to solve a problem they didn’t know they had. Employ intriguing adjectives or action verbs to trigger their emotions. Make them want to click your video.
4. Use relevant keywords in the first 60 characters of your video title. Make sure your keywords are useful, descriptive, and appear natural in context. Avoid keyword stuffing in your title. Keep your title between 5 to 10 words. See what titles are working for other popular videos, and improve on them.
5. A good title can make or break your video popularity. A viral video is one that people really enjoy discovering, watching, liking, and sharing. Create a thumbnail image for your video when you pick the title, to draw people to click on the video. Your thumbnail image should not repeat your title, but should grab their attention, stop the scrolling, and excite them to click. The thumbnail grabs attention. Your title continues to impact their thoughts. Use one or more of the main motivating factors: curiosity, desire, or fear.
