How long will it last?
« on: June 02, 2018, 12:51:10 pm »
I have been building a channel on YouTube and doing a lot of research on how to get noticed. I was told that if you do just a few things to get ranked on YouTube, it would also get you ranked on Google, so I decided to give it a try.

The object was to make your keyword phrase, video title and file name, thumbnail file name, video description and tags all start with the same phrase. So since there are a lot of people looking for more traffic, I picked Traffic Exchange Tip.

Sure enough, in a very short time I did a search for that phrase and it was #1 on Google with my thumbnail image showing to attract attention.

Needless to say, I am going to be doing this from now on, even if it only lasts a few days.

I have always wanted to do something like this, but don't know how to go about. Glad to hear you were able to do it.

If you have always wanted to do something like that, I would be very interested in what is holding you back. Once you have done a few, making videos is not that time consuming and can be accomplished with free tools found online.

As far as it working, it's far too early to tell. I am mostly working on outside websites to attract visitors and subscribers by leaving little hints on how they can find me (like I did here) and that is a slow process.

I am retired with nowhere to go and all day to get there, so I think patience will pay off in the long run.

If any of you want to track me down, I would be more than happy to share what I learn and help you get started.

Like many online websites, there are ways to put the fun back in with outside the box thinking.

Good for you! I am sure with your do diligence and patience it will probably be very successful for you; I am clueless as to how to even get started doing anything like that.

Very cool.  I just watched the video.  You are a smart man and I think it's great that you're willing to share your knowledge.  Now if I only had an idea of what kind of videos to do.    :)

I hear it's harder to make money with youtube now than it was before.
