Finding the Right Keywords for Free
Knowing the right keywords is crucial for YouTube success. The right keywords can significantly boost your views and even your subscriber count. However, choosing the wrong keywords can lead to poor video performance.
To rank a YouTube video at the top, the first thing we need to do is perform keyword research.
What is Keyword Research?
In simple terms, a keyword is a word or phrase that people type into search engines like YouTube to find information.
For example, if someone wants to learn how to code, they might type “how to code for beginners.” So, “how to code for beginners” is a keyword.
Keyword research is simply the process of identifying the most popular keywords people are searching for. When you know what people are searching for, you can create content that matches those searches. This increases the chances of your videos appearing at the top when someone searches for those keywords.
Free Keyword Research Methods on YouTube
There are different methods to do keyword research, but we’ll explore three powerful ways, all within the YouTube platform, so you don’t need any special tools.
Method 1: Analyze Search Suggestions
- Go to YouTube and enter a topic related to your niche or video idea.
- Look at the search suggestions that appear as you type. These are popular keywords people are searching for.
- Pick the best one that aligns with your video topic.
- Click on that keyword and see the ranking videos.
- Notice the view count. High view counts indicate strong audience interest.
- Copy the titles of the top 3 videos for later reference.
Method 2: Alphabet Soup (The Alphabet Method)
- Go to YouTube and enter your topic.
- Type a space and then any letter of the alphabet.
- YouTube will suggest keywords containing that letter.
- Repeat with other letters to brainstorm even more keyword ideas.
- Pick the most relevant suggestion and analyze the top videos’ titles as before.
Method 3: Asterisk Magic (The Asterisk Method)
- Go to YouTube and enter your topic.
- Add an asterisk (*) after at least the first two words.
- YouTube will suggest different keywords filling the asterisk’s place.
- Move the asterisk around to generate even more ideas.
- Choose the most relevant suggestion and analyze the top videos.
Analyze Titles and Craft Your Own
Now you have titles from top-ranking videos for each method.
- Open a document and paste the titles you collected.
- Analyze the keywords used in these titles.
- Craft your own title using these keywords and relevant to your video content.
Bonus Tip: Good Packaging Matters!
In addition to strong keywords, good packaging like thumbnails, titles, descriptions, and valuable content can significantly boost your video’s ranking.
By implementing these techniques, you’ll be well on your way to creating videos that rank high on YouTube!
