WEBVTT 00:00.270 --> 00:06.600 Under the channel option in your creator or studio we have a few more options to go through upload defaults. 00:06.600 --> 00:10.590 This makes uploading videos a lot more efficient. 00:10.710 --> 00:16.020 So you'll want to set your default such as the category that your video is. 00:16.020 --> 00:23.510 So for example for my channel I'd probably put my channel category under education for license. 00:23.520 --> 00:28.310 Typically you'll want to put standard YouTube license unless all the videos that you're putting on YouTube 00:28.650 --> 00:34.290 you're allowing other people to use and that would be under Creative Commons Commons for Title I usually 00:34.290 --> 00:39.480 leave this default blank unless you are just doing a series of videos. 00:39.570 --> 00:45.950 And for example at the end of every video you say Episode 1 or whatever. 00:46.050 --> 00:53.070 And so maybe you would have this so that at the end of every title it's already when you click upload 00:53.100 --> 00:58.100 and you start uploading a video this is already the title so you can quickly just change it to two three 00:58.370 --> 00:59.460 etc.. 00:59.520 --> 01:06.660 I do highly suggest changing your description for every video especially those first few lines to make 01:06.660 --> 01:10.680 sure that it's attention grabbing for people searching for your videos. 01:10.710 --> 01:15.360 But at the bottom of your description you might want to include things like links to your Web site caused 01:15.390 --> 01:20.670 action more information perhaps information just about your channel to include a few more keywords in 01:20.670 --> 01:21.030 there. 01:21.150 --> 01:23.970 So definitely add that to your description. 01:24.000 --> 01:27.340 Same with tags for example with this channel. 01:27.420 --> 01:34.830 Every time I upload a video I'll probably want to include the tag Phills finances so add that tag with 01:34.830 --> 01:39.650 a comma perhaps I want to put my own name in there as well. 01:39.990 --> 01:41.940 Perhaps personal finance. 01:41.940 --> 01:46.500 So these are tags that will appear on every video and rather than having to type them out every time 01:46.860 --> 01:52.830 I might put these three is important to make your tag specific to the video so don't include every single 01:52.830 --> 01:53.160 tag. 01:53.160 --> 01:58.740 For example I want to include things like early retirement minimalism because some of my videos might 01:58.740 --> 01:59.690 not be about those. 01:59.700 --> 02:05.550 And yes I could quickly delete those when I'm uploading the video but it might be easier for me just 02:05.550 --> 02:09.350 to add specific keywords depending on what the video is about. 02:09.360 --> 02:15.600 I would definitely include the video language for whatever you're speaking so that it's automated for 02:15.600 --> 02:17.240 captions certification. 02:17.340 --> 02:22.740 Typically you want to just choose this content has never aired on television in the U.S. unless something 02:22.740 --> 02:23.490 is different. 02:23.640 --> 02:28.230 Video location this is something that I actually don't include But if you want to put a video location 02:28.230 --> 02:36.300 say you're in one area you can make this and then people are able to see where your video is and you 02:36.300 --> 02:41.400 could also make the stats of your video publicly visible or not. 02:41.450 --> 02:46.940 So just go through those make sure you set those two whatever you want and of course click save when 02:46.940 --> 02:49.720 you go to your featured content page. 02:49.730 --> 02:50.810 This gives you two options. 02:50.810 --> 02:56.570 One is your channel ads so if you don't add the channel trailer from the home page of your channel like 02:56.570 --> 02:59.150 we learned before this is another way to do it. 02:59.150 --> 03:01.820 Just click that but in two years your video. 03:01.820 --> 03:08.060 And then for featured content This is video that will appear at the end of all of your videos and you 03:08.060 --> 03:11.810 might see this when you're watching YouTube video you might see a little video pop up. 03:11.840 --> 03:17.860 You can choose the most recent upload or you can choose a specific video or playlists. 03:17.900 --> 03:24.620 So if there's one video that is super popular or perhaps a promotional video for one of your products 03:24.620 --> 03:30.230 or services you might want to choose that video because then that will pop up on all of your videos. 03:30.230 --> 03:37.250 I have always chosen the most recent upload to just give people the most recent content that I've created 03:37.430 --> 03:42.120 because if they search for whatever keyword they're searching for they find one of my older videos. 03:42.170 --> 03:48.830 I like having my recent videos pop up so that they know I'm creating more content so I usually choose 03:48.890 --> 03:53.990 recent upload but that's up to you when you choose your featured video you can choose when you want 03:53.990 --> 03:58.510 it to display so you can choose a custom start time or at the end of video. 03:58.550 --> 04:03.230 I typically do it at the end of the video and then I just choose optimize timing. 04:03.230 --> 04:04.400 YouTube takes care of it. 04:06.170 --> 04:09.950 Next and last for this video we have branding. 04:09.950 --> 04:15.860 This is a watermark that shows in the bottom corner of your video click add watermark to select your 04:15.890 --> 04:16.790 image. 04:16.790 --> 04:22.160 It's best to choose an image with a transparent background so it appears nice and clean. 04:22.160 --> 04:28.580 One quick tip to get more subscribers is to choose a little subscribe image. 04:28.580 --> 04:32.040 So I found one on Google just in Google search. 04:32.050 --> 04:33.690 It's from three icons. 04:33.950 --> 04:38.370 So I've downloaded that one and I just search for subscribe button. 04:38.480 --> 04:45.240 So I'm going to choose that under my graphics upload that 04:48.850 --> 04:57.740 and click Save Now this little subscribe now button will pop up in the bottom corner of all my videos. 04:58.000 --> 05:05.080 And when people click on this watermark whether it's a Subscribe now button or an image of your face 05:05.110 --> 05:13.000 or your logo it will take them to your channel page and that's where people can actually subscribe when 05:13.000 --> 05:13.600 you click save. 05:13.600 --> 05:15.150 You can see what it looks like. 05:15.190 --> 05:16.780 So that's kind of cool. 05:16.780 --> 05:19.690 And again you can customize when this pops open. 05:19.720 --> 05:25.450 I like having it start at a custom time around five seconds or maybe even a little later because it 05:25.450 --> 05:31.570 pops up and that is a little bit more eye catching than if you have it just for the entire video. 05:31.570 --> 05:35.080 People might not notice it as much as if it does pop up. 05:35.320 --> 05:37.390 So that's just a quick little tip. 05:37.390 --> 05:43.270 Once you do have a lot of subscribers it might be better to put your logo on there just to get people 05:43.330 --> 05:45.010 aware of your branding. 05:45.010 --> 05:50.230 Again using simple logos branding colors that we talked about earlier in this course. 05:50.230 --> 05:52.020 Thanks for watching this video. 05:52.030 --> 05:54.570 Now we have basically our channel set up. 05:54.670 --> 06:01.180 So in the next video we're going to be learning about uploading content and the best practices for doing 06:01.180 --> 06:01.600 so.
