Thanks so much for such crazy positive feedback guys. I'm no where near an expert in this field, I just found a method that worked a few months ago that doesn't work anymore.
Why I'm Doing This
Im doing this because i havent done anything in the past year except fail miserably at previous projects and watch netflix. I had some personal mental barriers that were the main reason for not being able to work. Too many personal things on my mind. This thread is meant to keep me focused, accountable, and reliable for my goals. Also, I wanna give back to this amazing community. I wouldn't have seen such success without you guys. Thank you.
I receieved a few PM's from a few people asking a few questions about many things so I'm going to go into way to much detail explaining everything.
Why I'm Focusing On Google and Not Just Youtube
I've tried it both ways. Back about a year ago, I was ranked on google and youtube, driving 500+ unique visitors to my sites per day. UNREAL. After the update, I ranked videos on youtbe only. The traffic was so miniscule compared to what I had originally had. less than 10% of my traffic. Which leads me to my next point.
You also need to keep in mind that there are "Youtube" keywords and "Google" keywords. You need to put yourself in your target audiences' shoes.
That was a horrible example, but the point I'm trying to address it that there are youtube keywords and then there are google keywords. Put yourself in yourself in your target audiences shoes.

You want everything to look as natural as possible. You do not want to spam the hell out of your video. this is suspicious as all hell. Take your time, drip everything. Be a smart marketer, and make it look natural.

Ex: If i (the customer) is looking to fix my eye problem online, I'm more likely to search for a cure on google. I'm looking for a quick solution for my problem. However, If I'm looking for a eye exercise to work on my eyes, I'd be more likely to search on youtube for a tutorial.

How to Choose a Keyword For Ranking On Youtube Only
Through trial and error, I've learned what keywords I can rank for, and which ones I cant. These are the steps I take for judging a keyword via youtube only.
- I use longtail pro to find some keywords around the niche. Gives me a general Idea of The volume, popularity, and difficulty of the keyword
- I go on youtube and i search for the keyword. I analyse the other videos that are on the top of page 1.
- Does the video have the keyword in the title?
- Does the video have the keyword in the description?
- Is the keyword in the tags?
- To do this, go into the source code, look for "<meta name="keywords""
- How many total views does the video have?
- Is the channel a authority channel? 5k+ subscribers?
- I see how many daily views the video is getting
- Click on "More" underneath the video, and click statistics
- I now have a clear understanding on how well the video is ranking for that keyword. If Its not horribly desnse, I know I at LEAST have a shot.

I rank my videos using
- Views
- Highish retention from a few providers on bhw.
- Using google adwords for views. They work well. I pay on average $0.01 Per view. Not too shabby.
