And make sure you stay to the end because I've got something big coming your way if you're planning on launching a YouTube channel for your business. Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Just the Tips with Trena where I provide online entrepreneurs tips and tricks on how to create a video content strategy that works for them. I upload new videos every week, so if you aren't subscribed to this channel yet, just make sure you click that red subscribe button down below so you know when I post some new content just for you. And today I'm gonna walk you through my exact YouTube routine. So step number one is coming up with content ideas. So I take a look at questions I get asked, Questions I see on Facebook, questions I also see on Instagram. I check out what's going on in my industry, what's new, what's trending. Then I also take a look at what my competitors are talking about. Step number two, I start researching, and this is the most essential step. If you miss this step, your channel is going to be a total flop and nobody's going to watch your video. So I start researching these ideas. I need to validate that these are the exact phrases that people are searching on YouTube. Otherwise nobody's going to find my video if I don't title it right. They may say they're asking this, but then typing something else into YouTube. So you need to validate your, you know exactly what it is they're typing into YouTube. You also want to make sure you're finding keywords and phrases that are searched but have low competition because this is going to make you stand out. This is going to start ranking your videos. And by ranking your videos, you're going to start building your authority on YouTube, which is essential if you want to grow your channel because the more authority your channel has, the More the more YouTube will rank your video. So while I'm researching, I will come up with one primary keyword, which will be my title, and then about six to eight secondary keywords that I will use in my optimization process. The third step, once I clarify what my title is going to be, I write my content and I follow a script template just because I want to make sure I have all of my ideas down. I want to make sure my call to action is clear, and I want to make sure that when I'm Filling my videos, I already know what I want to talk about so I can make the film process and the editing process as quick as possible. And by me getting all my thoughts and ideas organized on a script template, it just makes the entire process go a lot quicker. Step number four, I will pick a day to film and that day I will film as many videos as possible. I will try to film anywhere from six videos to 12 videos in one day. That's because I've got a business, I've got things going on. I live in a house with two kids. There are only certain days that I can film and I honestly don't have the time to get dressed and look camera ready every week. So I will batch film all of my content, which will definitely help me in being consistent because I already have the content filmed. I just have to edit it. And I can edit it with greasy hair and pajama pants on. Step five is editing. So I may edit one video at a time, I may batch edit it all. Just depends what's going on in my business, what I have time for. My but editing is the fifth step in my YouTube routine. Step number six is to create a thumbnail. So every time I film my videos, I will stand off to the side and basically like pause and make facial expressions kind of like this. I'll insert a clip and so then in the editing process I can just hit pause and take a screen grab of that image and use it as my thumbnail. Step number seven is I will make a quick promo clip. Now this promo clip is like 30 to 45 seconds. I will use it on Facebook, I will use it on Instagram, I'll also use it on Twitter. I'll just grab a quick 20 to 30 second clip from my video and use it to promote my video once I publish it. Step number eight is I will upload my finished edited video. And while it's uploading, I'm going to optimize it. I'm going to put the title in, I'm going to put the tags, I'm going to fill up the description box. I'm going to, once it's finished uploading, I'm going to enter cars, I'm going to do the transcription, I'm going to put an end slate in. I'm going to do all the optimizing behind scenes on YouTube to get it ready to go live. Step number nine, I set it live. So sometimes I will schedule my videos, which is possible to do in YouTube. You can schedule them to go live at a certain Day and time. And sometimes I will just go ahead and click live and send it live right then and there. I will also fill out the little tweet box so that as soon as my video goes live, I also send a tweet letting my Twitter followers know I have a new video ready to watch. And then step number 10, the last step is promote the crap out of that thing. So I will put it in a blog post. I will share it on Twitter, Facebook, I will share it on Digg. Take a look below this video and look at all the little share buttons below. I will share on as many of those platforms as possible. I'll also put a comment in my own video so that people will start having a conversation in my video. I'll share it in Facebook groups where I find that it's possible to share my link. I will share in my Facebook group. I will share it on my business page. I will share that video as many places as possible to get it out in the first 20, 24 hours. I will also share it with my email list. I'll let them know I have a new video live and usually have some kind of content to go along with it. And that's basically my YouTube routine from Cradle to grave. Okay, now on to that something special I promised you at the beginning of this video.
