YT Episode 75
Julia talks through our pre-publish checklist for YouTube videos. Not all 15 of these will apply to you. Make your own checklist with the ones that are relevant for you and your channel.
15 Pre-Publish Steps:
- Add thumbnail
- Add title
- Add description
- Add links in description if needed
- Add pinned comment
- Add timestamps
- Add to playlists
- Add cards if any
- Add end screen
- Add tags
- Check monetization
- Send out accompanying email
- Schedule accompanying community post or short
- Include trailer for premier videos
- Schedule
Here’s an example of a template to add to your channel. Of course you’ll have to customize it for your own channel!
Example Description Template:
** This Paragraph Changes Every Time – Hook them to make them excited to watch this specific video**
Check out my _ (book, website, info product, etc) – link-
Chapters:
0:00
(continue with each following timestamp. Make sure you start with 0:00 or it won’t work)
