Don't Upload Videos Without This!

Matt Parr walks through three tools for uploading videos strategically: Vellio finds high-performing competitor videos, TubeMagic generates scripts and metadata using Claude and viral-hook databases, and VidAI creates faceless videos. He emphasizes uploading unlisted first so YouTube scans for issues, then using TubeMagic's Warp Upload to auto-populate metadata.

If you upload another YouTube video without doing what I'm about to share with you, you're essentially throwing views, subscribers, and potentially even money in the trash. I see creators spending so much time on video production, making the best videos they possibly can, but then uploading their videos with zero research and wondering why they get 47 views. What I'm about to reveal to you has changed everything when it comes to running my channels and has made my job with running my network of different channels a lot easier. And the crazy part is that most YouTubers have never even heard of the tools that I'm about to share with you today. So the first tool before you ever upload another video on YouTube that you need to look into is called Vellio. Now, I'm not associated with Vellio at all. I will see if they have an affiliate link, and if they do, I'll drop it down in the description. But, you know, I don't promote stuff if I don't truly get a lot of value from it. And Vellio is one of the things that I've been getting a ton of value from lately, and it's made uploading my videos so much easier because I'm making videos on the right topics. Let me show you. So if we jump in, this is what Vellio looks like. And essentially what you can do is create lists of different channels. So I have a list right here for this channel, Make Money Matt, the channel you're watching right now. And basically on this list, what I've done is I've added 143 different channels within my niche that are related to making money on YouTube and YouTube growth, all the things that I talk about on this channel. So what I've done is I've gone and clicked Add Channels and I've added all the channels that I personally knew about, which was maybe 10 or 20 channels. And you know the competitors within your niche. Find channels that are making similar videos to you. And then what you can do is go to similar channels right here and then find more channels that are similar to what you're doing. Now this one looks like it's about space and stuff, so that's not really related, so I'll reject that one. This one is about doing YouTube, so I'll track that. This one about doing YouTube as well, we'll track that one. And then you can just basically go through the list and before you know it, you'll have a list of 143 channels that are all doing videos within your niche. Then what you can do is go down here to the filter settings and then you can filter this by videos uploaded in the last 90 days. And once you do this, then you're able to sort these by views. This will show you the top viewed videos on all of your competitors' channels within that time frame. And you can also even go ahead and sort this by outlier. Now what outlier does is it will sort it by videos that have gotten the most amount of views in proportion to their amount of subscribers. So this channel right here only has 1,000 subscribers, but it got 60,000 views. This is an incredible video idea for me to make on my channel. And so what I highly recommend doing is building these channel lists of your specific channel in your specific niche, adding as many competitor channels as you possibly can. And you can get incredible ideas from this and you can go ahead and combine a lot of these ideas as well. For example, this video about YouTube Shorts is doing really good. This video about never growing on YouTube is doing really good. What if you combine those and did why 99% of YouTube Shorts channels never grow? Also an incredible idea. Think about combining ideas to get even more views. But let's say we get an idea, right? Like we got this idea of 99% of channels never grown on YouTube. What I'm going to do is copy the title of this video, paste it into YouTube, search it, and see if there's other channels that have also gotten a lot of views. There are. Look at this. This really validates the idea. But finding an idea is half the battle. What about actually generating content that's going to get a ton of views? And then I'll show you how to upload your videos the right way, because you should never be uploading videos without this tool. That I'm about to share with you. And the next tool is a tool that I've developed myself due to the fact that nothing like this existed, and actually spent over 6 figures of my own money acquiring and developing this tool. That's how strongly I believe in this, and that's how much this helps me in my YouTube business. And that tool is TubeMagic. Now within TubeMagic, if we go ahead and open it up and we go to get started, what you can do is drop in a video title like we have that title, Why 99% of Creators 'never grow on YouTube' right there. And then what we can do is we can go to context. This is what separates this from using something like ChatGPT or something else. So we can go then and copy the links of each of these videos, including this one. We'll go back to YouTube. We'll copy the link to this one as well. That one got 1.2 million views. That's incredible. We'll go down here. This one, 50K views. Copy the link to it. Paste that right there. Enter it. Now we have 3 videos as context, as you can see right there. And what TubeBuddy is gonna do is it's gonna pull all of the information from these 3 context videos and run it through all of these viral frameworks for making your videos get as many views as they possibly can. It'll run it through our viral hook database of all of the best viral hooks that all of my most viral videos have followed. It'll run it through our strategic ordering format, our value loop structure to continually open and close loops for viewers to keep people watching throughout your whole video, therefore increasing your audience retention. and we also use Emotional Wave Strategy, the advanced psychology strategy. It would take me hours to explain all of this, but it's safe to say that your scripts will be the absolute best scripts you possibly could have because we're taking the best information, applying the best proven strategies, and then you can even select a word count as well. So let's say we want to do a 10-minute video. That will be around a 1,500-word count right there. We'll select it, and then we use Claude on the backend, which is way better than using something like ChatGPT. Which is just going to give you generic scripts that are just taken from everywhere on the internet. It's not going to give you YouTube-specific scripts, especially not ones providing the absolute best context. Now we can click enter. And this will take a bit longer than using a traditional LLM because we're running all of this information through a lot of different things. There's a lot of context involved due to the fact that we're taking all of that information from those 3 videos. But there we go. Now the script has started and let's take a look at what it's writing here. So let me move myself out of the way and let's read through this a little bit. It says, listen, if you're trying to make it on YouTube, I need to give you some brutal reality check right from the start. Out of the 115 million channels on the platform, the vast majority are basically digital graveyards. We're talking 90% of channels never reaching 1,000 subscribers. That's a great hook. It's using emotional psychology to keep people watching because it makes people feel something when they listen to that. So this is an incredible script. And as you can see, the word count isn't perfect on it, but it got pretty close and compared to using any other tools, you're not able to do word counts if you're just using something like Claude or ChatGPT directly. Plus it won't be trained on all of this awesome stuff. So now you have an amazing idea and you have an amazing script for your videos. And let's say you made your video either recording something on OBS, maybe sitting down in front of a camera, maybe making AI avatar with something like HeyGen. However you go ahead and make your videos, and I have tons of tutorials here on the channel showing how to make videos, then it comes time to upload them. And you should never upload another YouTube video without doing what I'm about to share with you right here. So the key is uploading your video initially as unlisted. They might be saying, Matt, why would I upload all this unlisted if I'm trying to make it public? Well, number one, when you upload your videos as unlisted, what it allows YouTube to do is to scan through your videos completely and see if there's any potential problems on them that will come up, including like a copyright problem, or if you say something wrong that could get flagged in the YouTube terms of service. You want YouTube to be able to run through all that, so I recommend just keeping it unlisted. But as it's sitting there unlisted after it's finished uploading, copy the link to that video and then bring it back to TubeMagic. Then go to the All Tools section, scroll down right here, and then go to Warp Upload. From here then, you can paste in the link of your unlisted video and click Generate. And what TubeMagic will do is it'll generate you 3 different titles, a description, and a set of tags for your video. Now there's a lot of debate on whether tags are even valuable or useful or not anymore. I think they are, but a lot of people are saying, "Is it even worth your time, you know, sitting down writing tags?" Because YouTube's gonna index everything you say in your video, and the quality of your video is the most important thing. Now the cool thing about TubeMagic is that it will give you an incredibly great quality video from that script. But is it worth your time to sit there for 20, 30 minutes coming up with every single tag? Absolutely not, especially given the fact that they matter less right now. But what does matter is your title and also your description. And what TubeMagic does is it gives us 3 different titles that we can potentially use. I really like this one right here, Why Most Channels Fail Before 1,000 Subs and What to Do. That's an incredibly great title right there. And then it gives us our description that we can go ahead and use as well. Just copy paste that. And then it gives us our tags that we can also use right here. And we can simply click this button, copy those tags, paste it in our tag section. That way we're not spending a bunch of time worrying about all this stuff, and instead we're spending our time on things that matter more, which is making more valuable content and getting more great ideas for our channels. And now you know my personal tool stack for doing that. And also when it comes to generating videos, I made another software called vid.ai, which allows you to generate full 20-minute videos. It's only applicable if you're doing faceless videos, however, though, so keep that in mind. But it's an incredible tool for that. And my best stack that I recommend is Velyo for video ideas, TubeMagic for scriptwriting and for uploading your video. And potentially, if you're doing faceless content, VidAI can be an incredibly great tool as well. And also within the TubeMagic tools section, we have a Niche Explorer where it goes over 200+ niches on YouTube, as well as the approximate RPMs of those niches, which is how much they make per 1,000 views, as well as an example faceless channel in each of these niches that you can check out as well if you need a niche. So stop uploading random videos hoping they're gonna work. Start using data to guarantee that your next video idea is really good. And I'll leave a link to TubeMagic Magic as well down below. Then you can get a completely free trial and use all of the things that I just showed you. I just want to mention real quick that all of these are paid tools that I'm showing you right here, but I'm showing you what I personally use with running all of my YouTube channels. And I personally think that a small amount invested into software that can save you untold amounts of hours and potentially hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on hiring expensive scriptwriters when this will honestly write a better script than 99% of people you hire off Upwork anyways. I think it's personally worth it. And that's why I personally have also invested over $100 grand. Into making TubeMagic. And that Velio tool is also really cool too. Whoever made that tool, credit to them as well. And now if you want to see a full tutorial on how I run my faceless YouTube channels, feel free to check out this video next to me right here. It shows exactly how I am able to make millions of dollars a year from YouTube. Obviously, I can't guarantee you'll make any money, but I'll show you what I'm doing right here. This is basically a free course, goes over everything I know for— goes over a lot of what I know for running faceless YouTube channels that I discovered over the last decade. You'll get a lot of value from it. My name is Matt Parr, and hopefully I'll see you there.
