Summary

In episode #993 , we discuss how you can outrank your YouTube competitors. Tune in to hear our secrets to ranking on YouTube. We have committed to throwing a FREE Marketing School Live Event in Los Angeles, once Marketing School reaches 1M downloads in a 30 day period. Take action: Rate, review, subscribe, and SHARE. Check the progress here! TIME-STAMPED SHOW NOTES: [00:27] Today’s Topic: How to Outrank Your Competition on YouTube [00:50] Ideally, you want to rank #1 for keywords. [01:05] VidIQ helps you track your ranking for various keywords. [01:59] YouTube will look at what happens to your video within the first 24 hours. If it doesn’t do well in that time frame, you won’t get promoted. [02:40] When Neil first made YouTube videos, he did well because his viewers had a high watch time. [03:10] Neil used to run paid promotions, but it didn’t do much for him. [03:30] He doesn’t optimize for subscriptions. [03:45] Push your videos in the first 24 hours of posting. [04:10] Neil has a lot of traffic from other countries. [04:20] So, he will send emails at times that work for other countries. [05:06] That’s it for today! [05:36] We hit our goal of 1 Million downloads! So, we will be throwing a free event in Los Angeles this June. Check out this website if you would like to attend. Remember: we are capping the event at 500 people, so sign up now, if you’re interested! DM Eric if you would like to participate in the VIP dinner.
