After you're done filming and editing, you're simply ready to press publish, right?!

Wrong!

One of the least talked-about, but most time-consuming parts of creating YouTube videos is the amount of metadata and SEO research that goes into each upload.

But it pays off! When you have a good title, description box, and video tags working for you, more people effortlessly flock to your videos. It's been reported that including relevant tags can increase a video's visibility on YouTube by up to 500%.

Finding the best metadata is worth the time and effort.

But how can we make it easier?

I've been fascinated with ChatGPT the last few weeks. I've asked it to do hundreds of random things for me, and ended up finding some gems.

Here are a few that save you the most time and creative energy on YouTube.🎬

Task 1: Help You With Your Video Title

The title is one of the most important parts to nail on YouTube.

Before you film your video, a lot of times you already have the title in your head. But how do you phrase it perfectly? Ask chatGPT to come up with SEO-optimized title ideas based on your working title, and watch the magic unfold.

ChatGPT can assist you through the early stages of idea generation, which saves you creative energy.

Task 2: Create Relevant Tags For You

Tags help search engines find the right people for your videos.

But tags can also be very time-consuming! This is where doing your own SEO research usually comes in, but you can also ask chatGPT to create relevant tags for your video based on your title or based on your video transcript. To make sure your tags are up-to-date, use tags you've researched, and combine those with the wider range of keywords chatGPT gives you.

Remember, the right tags can boost your visibility by up to 500%!

Task 3: Write Your Description Box

The description box serves as another SEO goldmine!

Keywords in the description box help people find your videos, so writing a paragraph or two detailing what your video and channel is about goes a long way. Ask chatGPT to write a short SEO-optimized summary based on your video's transcript and video tags. (Just copy and paste the transcript into the chat.)

And just like that, all your metadata is done!

What used to take hours, now takes minutes.⏱️

I love working with metadata, I don't love typing it all out. That's where I've found chatGPT the most helpful: word processing and idea generation. What will chatGPT help us with next?

I guess I can go ask it that too!
