This is a more difficult place to rank videos when a channel is early because it generally requires channel authority and viewing data such as view percentage and average view duration. I share a strategy to show up in the YouTube suggested videos side of the YT algorithm in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRra2fdcrpQ&t=0s   This is why it's beneficial to focus on YouTube as SEO at the beginning. It allows you to build up your channel authority, while also getting your viewing data like view percentage and average view duration to increase by answering people's questions and helping people solve the problems they are searching for in YouTube. Once your channel has authority and you have good view numbers, you will begin to naturally see views coming from the browse and featured segments of the YouTube algorithm. This is because you too will see the relevance of your videos to what your audience is watching based on your YouTube optimization. So this begs the question, how do you do keyword research for YouTube? And: how do you optimize a video for YouTube SEO? that's exactly what we cover in this video today and you'll get walked through a software tool that makes it simple and easy to research topics and keywords for your videos, plus it will help you rank your videos higher attracting more subscribers and more viewers. Final note. It is important to remember that you must create extremely helpful and useful videos that don't waste your users time. No one wants to watch you being bad at something for hours on end while you "document the process" of learning. People want concise and focused videos that quickly answer their questions and solve their problems so they can get back to their busy lives. Always keep this in mind and you will succeed on YouTube long-term. Enjoy, Miles Beckler
