In this tutorial I'm going to walk you through using tube buddy which is a YouTube extension that will
save you a lot of time if you're good at too buddy dotcom that's where you can sign up and go to the
pricing page so you can see the different options.
There are three different plans pro star and Legin.
There's even a free option if you want to just get started and install it and see how it works in this
tutorial.
I'm going to be using the Pro Plan which is the cheapest option and you can see down below if you scroll
down all the options for each level in this tutorial we're going to be going over things with the Pro
plan such as canned responses and screen templates card templates those kinds of things.
If you scroll down a little bit further you see that the bulk processing tools are only available in
the Star plan.
These bulk processing tools is really where to Buddy shines you can edit multiple videos all at once.
So say you want to add a new card or end screen to all of your videos or to one certain type 1 playlist
of videos.
You can do that with the star plan.
I had that for a little while and I did a lot of bulk editing but I realized that there were many months
where I wasn't using any of the bulk editing tools the main ones that I use are the card templates and
the canned responses to comments.
So I actually canceled my star subscription and now I'm just using the pro and there's no contract or
anything like that.
So you can actually bounce around.
You could try the Star want if you want to do a lot of bulk editing then when you're done using your
book editing you can actually downgrade to the Pro version once you sign up.
You're going to sign in so you'll click the My Account button and here's where you want to add your
channels.
So first in this main area on the home screen you'll want to click add channel and then sign into the
Google account that's associated with your YouTube channel.
And if you have multiple channels under that one Google account make sure that you pick the right one
on the right you can connect Facebook and Twitter because with the star plans and above you can actually
publish your YouTube videos straight to your Facebook content.
Another way to make things a lot more efficient.
You see that some of these things are sort of faded out.
These are because they are options that are available to me on the pro plan but would be on the Star
plan once you have this all set up.
You can do some things here like on to Buddy dot com if you want to see your health report.
This shows like some basic analytics that are a general overview that you have in your analytics but
it's a little easier to see here total views total subscribers total videos of your engagement So here's
the likes versus dislikes demographics.
Sort of the same stuff that we saw on the Google or the YouTube analytics.
Let's jump over to YouTube so we can really see this in action.
And I know I mentioned this before in a previous lesson just seeing this little TB sort of button next
to certain things on your YouTube account.
You're not going to see that unless you have two buddy installed.
Here I am in my creator's studio.
So first let's go over canned responses.
This is one of the best ways to quickly respond to comments.
So if we go too down to our community tab we can see all of our comments.
I have a response for people who watch my videos and think me because I do a lot of tutorials.
I typically get a handful of people thanking me every day.
And so if I click on this to Buddy I kind right here I have two.
One is just a comment that says thanks and I also include.
If you haven't subscribed yet please do to help me grow my channel and then you just click reply.
So I do is just basically scroll down see the ones that are thinking me use that button to input the
canned responses click reply to create a canned response go back to to buddy from your home page what
you'll want to do is click this canned responses button down here.
Here you can create a canned response by clicking the ad response.
Just give a name to it so you know which one it is.
So here's one I send to people asking them to subscribe.
Maybe the camera's mantle will just be a little bit shorter and say thanks for watching.
Please subscribe click save.
Now if we go back to my comments and I refresh and I'll find a common that makes sense to respond in
that way.
Now if I click the TB button we see that I have this please subscribe comment.
Cool.
So that's using the canned responses again.
Another way to grow your channel faster because when you're responding to people especially within the
first 24 hours of them posting they're more likely to engage back with you.
And if they're more likely to engage back with you then they're more likely to subscribe especially
if you're asking them to subscribe which will help you in the long run.
Next let me show you some things that you can do while you upload videos.
So I'm just going to click upload button and I'm just going to choose the conclusion video for this
entire course just as an example.
I'm not going to make it public so I'm going to change that to unlisted.
So you see that there are a lot more things that come up here with too buddy installed first.
There's this nice little upload default button which is the direct link to your upload defaults.
Pretty cool right.
You can just easily create a profile or you can create a new one.
So if you have multiple profiles say you make two different types of videos you can create multiple
profiles so that when you do upload a video you can add a new one and choose between those.
This is great if you're doing a series of videos and one series has the same tags the same description
that kind of thing.
The other big thing you see over here on the right hand side is this checklist.
This is just sort of a really cool checklist that make sure that you're on track doing all of the things
that you want to do.
If you click on the arrows on the right hand side it give you some tips for completing all of these
steps as well.
If you scroll down you see the two body tools.
This is where you'll find your card templates in your screen templates.
First you're going to have to set up a card template.
But let me just show you what happens when I click Apply card template I have a few different templates
that I've set up.
One is for a free course of mine where you learn Adobe in 30 minutes.
Another is for a specific class.
So when I put out tutorials about photography I have this specific card that I'll use if you want to
make some minor adjustments you can in the title call to action teaser tax or even changing the URL.
And then if you have a card already on there which you probably won't if you are uploading for the first
time you can check this box or remove any existing cards before applying this template once you're happy
you click apply.
And this card is automatically applied.
This makes it so much more efficient than the other way which would be.
Once you're done you'd have to click on the video because they don't give you an option of right in
this page added tag.
Then from this menu you'd have to click edit video or you can do so through the video manager and then
from this video manager page click cards then add a card.
You'd have to upload everything every time.
Now we already have this card preloaded and as a template This is well worth the nine dollars a month
for me because this saves so much time every time I upload a new video.
It's very similar for the end screens so I can click Apply and screen.
I have a couple screens that I've created so you can just choose the one that you want and then click
apply here if you have the star account or higher you can do these post publish options such as scheduling
to publish which is actually just available up here too if you want to schedule it.
You can also publish straight to Facebook.
There is an animated gif or animated gif generator if you want.
Let me click that.
And this allows you to pick a part of your video to make that animated Jeff out of.
So maybe if I want an image of this part where you're reading the Course that's actually pretty cool
so let's click generate gif and now we have this animated gif that we've created from our video which
you can do from any of your videos and you can embed it you can link to it this way you can post this
on your Web site.
Put it really anywhere posted automatically to Twitter from here.
There's a couple other options but the only one I'll talk about is sunsetting videos.
For example if you want only one video available for a limited amount of time you can sunset the video
and have it be deleted or unpublished at a specific date say you want to create your first card template
or any screen template what you want do is actually click this handy dandy but in right here which is
available on this video which takes you directly to the card page for this video then you go through
you add your card.
So let me just add a card for a video.
So say I have one of these videos that I think is really popular.
So learn Photoshop Lightroom after effects so let me click that I'll create a card with that then down
below you have this box to check to save this as a template.
I'll call this Adobe video.
Plus free course than it's saved.
Now let's go to one of my other videos.
You can easily apply these templates right within your video manager.
So on the drop down the TV dropdown you can click that and you can apply template I have Adobe video
plus free course which has those two cards from that video I noticed that the template includes all
of the cards for that video.
It's not just the single card you create but for that video so if you only want one card then create
a video.
Put one card on it and then save that as a template and click apply.
It's going to give you the success message if it worked.
Now if I go to this video play it and there you see it learn Adobe the card pops up.
And if we click on there we have our two cards that we've included.
Let me show you how you can book edit videos such as applying a card template.
Now it's not going to let me do it because I don't have the star account but I can basically get to
that point before it doesn't allow me to do it.
So from your video manager click this balk at it.
But up here here the different options.
So for example if you want to bulk copy n screens what I'll do is click this copy button.
I'll choose one of my screen templates so say I'll choose this one.
Or if you have an end screen from a recent video that you created if you create a template you can choose
down from recent uploads to making Click Continue.
Here you can choose which parts of the end screen elements you want to use then click continue.
And now you get to decide where you want to bulk edit them.
This first option is you want to publish it to all of your videos which is awesome.
You can add a new screen.
Say you have a new offer or something you can put it on all your videos or you can check this box and
then choose the most recent number of videos and you put in the number there.
If you have specific videos that you want to put in on you can add their video IDs here which you get
going to that video and looking at the URL or if you want to add that to a specific playlist.
What you can do is check that button right there click down here and pick the playlist that you want
add to.
So for example my Adobe Photoshop tutorials.
Then once you're happy with the videos you want to look at it to click continue.
It will bring up this list of videos and this won't show up if you don't have the star account but you
basically select all the videos by clicking this all button or none of them and just selecting the specific
ones and then click continue and will apply whatever template you've chosen to all of these videos at
once.
This will literally save you hours upon hours especially if you're doing it for over 20 30 videos at
a time.
Now I'm not affiliated with too buddy but I highly recommend them if you go to their pricing page.
You actually get a discount if you're just starting your YouTube account.
Just check that box and you can get the pro account for only 450 or different discounts for example
if you pay a yearly price which is pretty cool too.
So like I'm saying I'm not affiliated but it's a great tool especially if you're going to be posting
videos every week which I highly recommend you doing just the simple time you save with using the end
card templates and the card templates will probably be worth it if you have any questions about the
other features let me know but I hope this overview and Tauriel really help you out.
