One of the biggest questions that I get asked is how do you create a video Strategy for your YouTube channel? So in today's video, I'm going to share with you my secret strategy for planning videos for my YouTube channel. Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Just the Tips. My name is Trena. If you are new here and I help creative entrepreneurs get their business on YouTube. And like I said in today's video, we're going to walk through how to create a video strategy for, for your business to get on YouTube. So my little secret to success here on YouTube is playlists. It's one of the biggest underutilized elements of YouTube that people really don't use. And if they use it, they're not using it right. So when you think about playlists, you want to think about bingeable content. So what you want to think about is remember that time you got on Netflix and you watched one episode of Friends and then five hours later you realize you just watched all of season seven and eight? Yeah, that's because Netflix automatically played that next video and playlists can do that for your content as well. And why that's so important is because YouTube really values channels that keep people watching the platform, that keep people watching more and more minutes of your videos. So if you can create bingeable content in a playlist, you can. YouTube is going to promote that playlist and potentially rank it in search results. So how do you do this? The first thing that I do is I write down all of the video ideas that I have for the next couple weeks and I try to see if there is a similar theme and try to group five to six video ideas together. So my upload days are Tuesdays and Thursdays. So for five to six weeks, I, I'm going to have a video series specifically on Tuesdays and another video series specifically on Thursdays. Now these videos, you want them to kind of tie into one another, so if they find one video, they're going to want to watch the next in the series and the next in the series. Not only does this start accumulating watch time minutes for you, but it also starts to chisel away at that know like and trust factor for someone who may be watching you for the first time. By breaking down that know like and trust factor, it's going to be much easier to sell that person your ebook or your course or your one on one services. So what I do for the first five videos in my series is I just get people to watch my content, whether a call to action to watch the previous video or to subscribe to my channel. I'm just focused on getting people to watch more content. Then the last video in my series. I'm going to send people to an opt in or a course or my Work with me page because I built up this trust if they binge watch my playlist and hopefully they like me and they're ready to work with me. Now why specifically am I saying five to six videos? If you post that playlist on your YouTube channel, it's about five videos that fit across and it's six videos if you do it horizontally. You just want your playlist to look like it's full, it's complete and it just aesthetically looks better. So you can see I have my video series mapped out for the rest of the year on that calendar right there. The different color post its represent the different video series that I have planned. This is the end of a video series that I started here on my YouTube channel. All about coming up with video ideas and the video strategy for your business.
