I thought I was doing pretty well on YouTube all on my own… until I read your tips that is. Now I know that I barely scratched the surface – the possibilities are endless!

Thanks, Julie!

Hi Nicolas, Thanks for your questions — they’re good ones.

I recommend the most appealing thumbnail as the first video in a Playlist — though I would recommend making it one of your own, as that will likely be the first (and possibly only) video someone watches within a Playlist series. I don’t think the number of views in the position 1 video has much to do with the optimization either: it’s more the keywords in the titles of the videos within the Playlist. Therefore, load the front part of the Playlist series with videos that contain more of your top keywords.

And yes, you are able to edit the order. Goto Account > Playlists and you’re able to click on the number of each video in your various Playlists and type in a different ordered number to change them.

As for your Insight question: those percentages in the 4th pic represent the amount of change those videos have had. In the above example, the one video is up 15% over the previous day’s views, while the other is down 10%. (It lists the videos with the most major changes, both up and down, on that first glimpse on the homepage. Click through to read more.)

Again, great questions.
Thanks,
~Julie

Hey Julie, I have some questions:

When building playlists, do you recommend to place the most viewed video first or your video (or the video with the hottest thumbnail)? Is there some way of changing the thumbnail for playlists or change the order of added videos?

The other question I have is related to Insight: on my home page insight summary, there’s a % number next to videos names, do you know what does that % number means? (you can see these numbers as +15% and -10% on the fourth picture in this blog post).

Thanks!

Thanks, Joey! Happy to hear you found them helpful.

Creating inbound links and building keyword-rich Playlists are more advanced strategies when it comes to YouTube video optimization. Yes, I’d love to know how you do after applying them. Most YouTube Secret Weapon students report dramatic increases in traffic.

Definitely keep us posted!

Thanks,
