This post will help you rank your Youtube videos for your desired keywords in almost all industries. This is a strategy I learnt a while ago, and I paid over $2000 for this knowledge. I hope to save you some money with this post!

The ranking of this videos was a proof of concept, this is not something I filmed or edited, so shoutout to the Skool community and Sam for making this possible.

Here is the video: 8 Ways to Promote Skool | Skool Affiliate Program

Let's get into the ranking.

1. SEO

SEO is still the king of free traffic. For Youtube, I recommend doing some research before you upload. In my case, I looked up videos that came up when I searched "Skool affiliate program" and "skool affiliates"

Using tools such as "VidIQ" will tell you all the tags that your competition uses to rank their videos, which is a super helpful insight. This is also a great tool for keyword research.

You need to make sure you take these learning and apply them in the title and description of your videos. In my experience, a good title has numbers, such as "in 2024" or "8 ways to promote skool".

My title was "8 Ways to Promote Skool | Skool Affiliate Program" which is combination of numbers, and also keywords that can rank.

Then I recommend repeating the title exactly in the first line of your description.

For the descriptions, I usually use ChatGPT and ask it to create a keyword rich description using the given keywords. It also helps if you paste the video transcription for the GPT to have a better understanding. You can use tools like "Youtube Summary" on Chrome to grab the video transcription.

2. SMM Panels

This is the blackhat part. You can buy views, likes, shares and SEO embeds to make your video rank higher. I have tried many different SMM panels in the past, and most of them are garbage, and I understand if you hate them.

The only platforms that worked so far was NLOSMM. I am not affiliated with them, even tho I have a link, the goal is now to make an extra $10 here. Try it and see for yourself.

What I specifically suggest is the SEO embeds, and high retention views. As time goes on, it's recommended to repeat the process and purchase more views and shares, likes to keep your video ranking.

This post is already way longer than I thought it would be. Anyway, here are some more factors that will affect your ranking:

• The age of your YT account. The older, the better. You can purchase aged and monetized accounts

• Optimize file naming. Match your exported video's name and thumbnail's file name to your video title.

• Add timestamps and subtitles to your videos, as well as cards and end screens.

This is a topic we can talk a lot about.

Let me know if you have any questions, or if I missed something!
