I’ve been editing and posting quite a few videos for clients lately and I was looking for a tool to assist me with tags, keywords, etc.
I recently discovered TubeBuddy.
TubeBuddy is a FREE browser extension that integrates directly into YouTube to help you run your channel with ease.
I currently use the free version but it gives me access to everything I need. For pricing details visit the TubeBuddy site.
Here’s what the free version includes:
- Upload Checklist– You don’t always remember everything you need to do during the upload process
- Write a Compelling Title
- Enter a Complete Description
- Add Descriptive Tags
- Create Custom Thumbnail
- Add Info Cards
- Add to Playlist(s)
- Share on Social Media
- Quick-Edit Toolbar–Easily navigate between videos when editing a list
- There is no way to easily edit videos in a Playlist on YouTube without it
- You are tired of having to click the My Videos page every time you want to edit another video

- YouTube makes you click 47 times and load 13 pages to simply get to your My Videos page (note: we maybe have exaggerated slightly)

I use the suggested tags all the time. I recommend the YouTube video tool for those that are working at getting more traffic to their YouTube channel.
