Are you ready to expand your reach and tap into new markets? 

Translating your videos into different languages makes your videos accessible to a global audience.

In the video below, I show you how to use an online translation tool to quickly translate YouTube subtitles into different languages so you can get more views and maximize engagement.

Click here to sign up for my automated newsletter, so you’ll receive an email notification every time I upload a new video to my channel

How To Translate Your YouTube Video

• Create a free account for the online video editor called Kapwing,
• Click Create new project.
• You can upload your video file or enter the URL of your YouTube video in the box.
• So I’m going to paste it. Now it’s fetching the video.
• Click on subtitles.
• Now we’re going to transcribe the video by generating subtitles. Click on generate subtitles.

I recommend translating it into English first to correct any mistakes, then translating it into a different language after that.

If you want to translate it right away, you can click on the drop down and choose from any of these different languages from all around the world. I’m just going to use the original language, so click generate subtitles. It says, please wait while the transcription is generated.

After all the subtitles have been generated, you can correct any mistakes.

When you’re happy with the transcript, you can save it as a SRT file which you can upload to YouTube. This will generate subtitles for your video in the original language, and closed captions will appear under your video, so people that are hard of hearing or have the sound turned off can read the captions while watching the video.

You can also save it as a text file and upload it to your blog or website and embed your video. 

• To translate it into a different language, click the dropdown that says, select the language.
• I’m going to choose Spanish.
• Click translate. to tanslate the video

While the video’ is being translated into Spanish, keep in mind your video can be translated into multiple different languages to reach a wider audience. Closed captions have been added to the bottom of the video.

You can enhance your captions by choosing different font, font size, change the text color, choose a different text outline, use a different background color.

Add animations

If I click  on animations,  I can choose different colored animations. If I play the video, you’ll see that the words are highlighted as I speak the words.

• If you want to remove the closed captions that Kapwing has put on your video, just highlight the bar containing captions.
• Tap delete on the keyboard.
• It says Remove Magic subtitles.
• This will remove the magic subtitles for this asset from the project.
• Click remove. Now the closed captions have been removed.
• If you want to save the video with the closed captions on your video, just click Export project.
• Select the format. MP4. Resolution will just set it to Auto.
• Click Export as mp4.
• Now Kapwing is processing the video. 
• When it’s finished processing, you can copy the link, share it with Twitter, Facebook, or embed the video, or you can download the file.
• Click download file. Here’s the downloaded file that it can upload to YouTube. .

Here’s how to upload the SRT file to YouTube containing timestamps,  so your YouTube video will display closed captions and subtitles in Spanish.

• Click on subtitles in YouTube studio
• Select a video that you wish to translate.
• Click add language. I’m going to select Spanish United States
• Click Upload file.
• You can select with timing or without timing, but without timing it’s only available for the video’s original language. 
• So I’m selecting with timing. Click continue
• Select the SRT file.
• Click open. You can see the closed captions under the video.
• Click publish.
• Now you can see that the Spanish translation has been published. Let’s play the video.
• If I click on closed captions, then you can see the English closed captions are under the video.
• If I click on settings, click the arrow next to English United States.,I can select Spanish.
• Now if I play the video, the Spanish closed captions will be under the video.
• You could select auto translate, but it won’t be that accurate.
• If the viewer wants to see captions in a different language,
• click the cog icon.
• Click the arrow next to English, United States. 
• Click Auto Translate
• Select the language. 
• Now you’ll see closed captions in the Hindi language.

Keep in mind that if you don’t upload a transcript for your YouTube video, viewers will be unable to auto translate the content of your video. This means they won’t be able to view the captions in a different language.

Keep in mind videos that are captioned will see an increase in watch time and videos that have been translated into different languages will reach a wider audience.

Here’s how the automated newsletter looks like to subscribers. After you’ve published the landing page and activated your  automated email campaign, you’re ready to promote your landing page on different places around the web, so you can sign up new subscribers.

How To Promote Your Landing Page

• Share your landing page on your video or in your video description.
• Pin it to the top of your comments, so when viewers go to leave a comment under your video, they’ll see your landing page.
• Promote it in your channel description by adding it to your about page.
• Add a link in your description, so the landing page link appears on your channel banner.
• Notify your subscribers by adding a link on your community tab.
• Share your video on social media sites. Post your landing page link on social media sites like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, etcetera. This will enable you to share your content with a wider audience outside YouTube.
• Post your landing page link on your website or blog to get more subscribers.

Here are the top 4 four reasons to set up an automated email for your new content on YouTube

1. Get more views and eyes on your content.
   It’s easy for YouTube subscribers to get distracted from all the notifications they receive from YouTube, and they may miss out on your new upload. When they receive an email from you, it’s more personal than receiving a notification from YouTube and they’re more likely to open it.
   
2. Get an early boost in the algorithm.
   If you get a high view velocity on your YouTube video when you first upload it, it sends a signal to the YouTube algorithm that people are very interested in watching your video. It also increases the probability that your video will be suggested to a wider audience.
   
3. Control the connection with your audience.
   Recently, I polled my subscribers by asking them, “Do you get notified by YouTube when I upload a Short?” 76% said no. Only 14% said yes. 10% said my shorts appear in their subscriptions feed. This means that the majority of my subscribers won’t receive any notification when I upload a new Short to my YouTube channel.
   
   When you own your email list, you’re not dependent upon the YouTube algorithm to bring in new viewers, which is scary. YouTube says they’ll only notify YouTube subscribers about new shorts videos on your channel, if they watch a lot of shorts videos.
   
   What if the algorithm changes or your channel gets terminated? You’ll suddenly lose all connection with your subscribers. By creating and growing your email list, you control the connection with your audience and you’re not dependent upon the YouTube algorithm. Having an email list creates a backup plan for your channel.
   
4. Save time. 
   After you’ve set up your auto newsletter, you don’t have to do anymore work because it’s fully automated. You just set it up once, so every time you upload a new video to your channel, an automated email goes out to your subscribers. There’s no extra work on your part.

Click here to sign up for my automated newsletter, so you’ll receive an email notification every time I upload a new video (long-form or Short) to my channel. You won’t have to rely on YouTube notifications that you may or may not receive.

If you’re looking to boost the views and engagement for your YouTube channel, YouTube playlists are the way to go. They can be discovered in suggested videos,  on your channel homepage,  playlist page, above your video title, featured in your video description,  linked in a card or end screen,  ranked in YouTube search or Google search, or pinned to the top of your comments.

In the video below, you’ll learn how to create a perfect playlist, how to add videos to your playlist, how to optimize your playlist so it gets a ton of views, how to share and promote your playlists, and learn the best practices so you can gain maximum visibility for your channel and videos.

“SECRETS TO AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT” You’ll discover how to hook your viewers’ attention, get them to spend more time on each video, and motivate them to watch more videos from your channel, so YouTube will recommend your content to other channels.

Why create playlists for your YouTube channel? 

It’s a great way to categorize your content so viewers can binge watch related videos together. When they watch one video in a playlist, the next one automatically begins playing.

They also help to increase engagement and watch time because instead of just watching one video, they’ll watch several videos in a row. When someone watches a video in an official playlist, YouTube will recommend the related videos from that playlist.

When viewers watch multiple videos from your channel in one session, there’s a higher probability that YouTube will suggest those videos to a wider audience.

YouTube says…
“Our goal is to get people to watch more videos that they enjoy so they can come back to YouTube regularly” 

What are Suggested Videos?

Suggested videos is a personalized connection of videos that an individual viewer may be interested in watching next, based on prior activity or past watch history. As you can see, these videos appear on the right side of the watch page,  below the video on the mobile app, and as the next video in auto play. 

75% of YouTube’s traffic comes from suggested traffic. That’s why YouTube playlists are very powerful.

How to create and optimize a perfect playlist so it gets tons of views

• Log into YouTube studio,
• click on create at the  top right click on new playlist.
• Give your playlist a title ie “how to create engaging YouTube videos with chatGPT”
• Keep in mind your playlist title will appear on your channel homepage, as well as above your video title on the video watch page. 
• Select visibility.
• You have the choice, public, private, or unlisted. 
• Click public.
• Click create.
• Click on your content tab,
• Click on playlists.
• Hover over the pencil that says “Edit on YouTube“. Currently it has no videos and no description.
• Click on edit description, “how to use chatGPT to make engaging videos that get more views“. 
• Click save.

Keep in mind, your playlist description will appear on your channel homepage.

How To Add Videos To Your Playlist

• Under the playlist title. 
• Click on the 3 dots.
• Click add videos.
• Select the related videos that you want added to your playlist.
• Click add videos.
• To add a video, click on the three dots.
• Click add videos.
• Select the video from the list, or you can search all YouTube or paste the URL in the box.
• Click add videos. 
• Now I can see it’s added to my playlist.
• If I click on the three dots, it says, add to cue, save to watch later, save to playlist, remove from this playlist, share it. I can move it to the top, move it to bottom.

How To Set The Playlist Thumbnail

I can also choose any video’s thumbnail to set as a playlist thumbnail.
Now you can see the thumbnail has changed.

If you want to delete this video, hover over the three dots, click remove.

I can also sort these videos by just dragging and dropping them.
– Click on the three dots.
– Click on playlist settings
– Allow embedding,
– Add new videos to the top of the playlist. 

Set Playlist as official series
This means if somebody’s watching a video in a playlist, YouTube will recommend the other videos in the playlist. Now, if I click play all, the first video plays in the playlist, and then the other videos in the playlist.

Keep in mind that it may take a while for a clickable playlist link to appear under your video, because YouTube is still rolling this out. You’re not only going to get a clickable playlist link under your video, but if you go into your description and scroll down,  under chapters, you’ll see featured playlist. Then if you click on that, it’ll go to your playlist page.

This means that viewers don’t have to leave your video watch page to click on your playlist and watch related videos leading to more views.

Where should you share your playlist link to expose content to a wider audience? 

• Create sections on your channel homepage containing playlists.
• Add it to your video description so viewers will watch more than one video.
• Pin it to the top of your comments so when viewers go to leave a comment, they’ll see your playlist link.
• Link to a related playlist in the end screen so viewers will continue their viewing session.
• Share your playlist link on social media sites to expose your content to a wider audience.
• Embed your playlist on your blog to increase the chances of your playlist getting found in YouTube search and Google search.

Here are some best practices for using playlists to boost your channel’s visibility

• Create a compelling title and description, because it’ll appear on your channel homepage, and it’ll help your playlist get discovered in the search engines.
  
• Choose your best thumbnail from the list of videos in your playlist, so it stands out in the search engines.
  
• Set your playlist as an official series, so the related videos in that playlist will be recommended by YouTube. Keep in mind, you must have a verified account to use series playlists and a video cannot appear in more than one series playlist.
  
• Place your best playlist at the top of your channel homepage because this is what first time visitors see first and will encourage them to subscribe to your channel.
  
• Place your most popular videos at the beginning of your playlist because these videos have proven to attract a lot of traffic.
  
• Avoid placing too many videos in your playlist because I find that most viewers only watch the first few videos in that playlist.
  
• Before you create a playlist, think about a series of videos based upon a specific theme, then make sure those videos flow into each other.
  
• When you link to a playlist in the end screen or end card, make sure you link to the whole playlist URL instead of to a single video. .

If you’re a small channel or just getting started on YouTube, I highly recommend adding videos from popular channels to your playlist. Make sure you place one of your own videos at the beginning of your playlist so you get credit for that viewing session. This will help boost your channel’s visibility and speed up its growth

“SECRETS TO AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT” You’ll discover how to hook your viewers’ attention, get them to spend more time on each video, and motivate them to watch more videos from your channel, so YouTube will recommend your content to other channels.

While walking around the lake today, I thought, how many creators are stuck trying to grow their channels because their views and subs are lower than usual. 

In this video, I’ll be sharing the top tactics and strategies to grow a YouTube channel in the coming year.

“SECRETS TO AUDIENCE ENGAGEMENT” You’ll discover how to hook your viewers’ attention, get them to spend more time on each video, and motivate them to watch more videos from your channel, so YouTube will recommend your content to other channels.

1. Define your target audience.

Before you start creating your content, it’s important to know who your target audience is. This will help you tailor your content and messaging to the right people that want to consume your content. One of the best ways to do this is to look at your YouTube analytics and click on the audience tab, and you’ll be able to see the demographics of your target audience, the age, gender, country they come from, what other videos they watch, and what other channels they watch. You can also use the research tab to look for content gaps on your YouTube channel

2. Create a consistent schedule.

One of the keys to growing a   YouTube channel is to consistently produce and publish new content. Try to determine a schedule that works for you and stick to it as much as possible. This will help keep your audience engaged and keep coming back for more.

For example, I try to upload a regular video every Tuesday, and then might publish a short later on on the week. Over the 16 years that I grew my YouTube channel, the key factor to success was being consistent.

One of the best ways to be consistent is to batch script and batch film your videos so you won’t get stressed out trying to keep up with your  upload schedule.

3. Optimize your title and description.

Your title plays a crucial role in helping your video get discovered in the search engines on the YouTube homepage and in suggested videos. It’s one of the first things that people see beside your thumbnail, which I’ll discuss later.

If you’re just starting out on YouTube or have a small channel, I highly recommend looking for those search terms that people are entering into the search engines to find your particular niche. If you rank for those search terms on YouTube and Google, you get a lot of evergreen traffic for years to come.

If you have an established channel, look in YouTube analytics for those search terms that people are finding your videos via suggestive videos or on YouTube search. Avoid just creating titles for the search engines, but also try to satisfy the curiosity of your viewers. If you do that, you’ll have success.

When you write a video description, try to include your main keywords in the description because it’ll help your videos get found in the search engines. Keep in mind that the first 3 lines of your video description is what viewers see while they’re watching your video.

4.  Upload a custom thumbnail image.

Your thumbnail is the first thing that people see when they come across your video in the search engines or on the YouTube homepage. Make sure you use eye-catching and compelling thumbnail images to entice people to click on your videos.

Try to avoid the mistake of using the same text in your thumbnail as you would in your title. Instead, try to arouse curiosity in your thumbnail so people are more likely to click on it.

Keep in mind that your title and thumbnail should compliment each other to win the click.

5. Engage with your audience.

Interacting with your audience is a crucial part of building a successful YouTube channel. Make sure you reply to comments left by viewers under your videos and engage with other creators. Another great way to engage with your target audience is to post to your community tab. You can add polls, videos, images, and even do image polls. 

If you currently don’t have the community tab because you’re under 500 subscribers, watch this video on “how to get the community tab, even if your channel is under 500 subscribers”

6. Collaborate with other creators.

Collaborating with other creators helps expose your content to a different audience. It may enable you to expose your content to their audience and their content to your audience.

7. Utilize video SEO.

Just like traditional optimization, it’s important to optimize your videos for the search engines, particularly if you’re just starting out or have a small channel.

For example, you can use the free online site, answerthepublic.com to find the most frequently asked questions in your niche. Just enter your main keyword in the search box and you’ll discover the most frequent asked questions.

You can also install the free Chrome extension TubeBuddy, to find the most searched words for your niche.

Another thing you can do to help your videos get discovered is to include close captions on your videos. Click here to learn 3 Ways To Transcribe Your YouTube Video Into Text (FREE & PAID)

Another thing I recommend is to add video chapters in the description below your video. Often this helps to improve the retention on your videos.

8. Promote your videos

Don’t just rely on the YouTube algorithm for your viewers to discover your videos. Promote your video on social media sites as well as on your email list if you have one.

If you have a Facebook group, promote it on your group and also promote it on your community tab. Another great way to promote your video is to add it to a playlist containing videos that are related to the one that they’ve just watched.

You can also promote the next video to watch by pinning it to the top of your comments.

If you use some of these strategies for promotion, you don’t have to rely on the search engines. Keep in mind that one of the highest traffic sources for YouTube are suggested videos, so if you keep people longer on the video platform, they’re more inclined to binge watch multiple videos in a row.

9. Analyze your Data

YouTube provides a wealth of data on how your videos are performing in the search engines and suggested videos and elsewhere. Make sure you regularly check your analytics so you can optimize your future videos.

One of the best things to check for is your audience retention graph and your clickthrough rate. If you get a high audience retention on your videos, that means people are engaged on your video.

If you get a high clickthrough rate, that means many people are clicking and watching your videos. If you get dips in your audience retention graph, that means people are leaving or bored with your content.

When you make your next video, try to increase your audience retention and your click through rate. If you do this, more of your videos will be suggested and recommended by YouTube.

10. Keep learning and experimenting

The YouTube landscape is constantly changing, so it’s important to stay up with the latest trends and best practices. Don’t be afraid to experiment and try new things to see what works for your YouTube channel. One Small tweak can make a big difference.

I hope these 10 strategies have given you some helpful ideas to grow your YouTube channel in 2023. Remember, consistency and engagement is key, so keep producing high quality content and engage with your viewers.

Could artificial intelligence speed up the process of making YouTube videos?

Let’s find out.

I asked chatGPT to list out 10 niches in the fitness industry. Within a few seconds chatGPT listed out 10 niches in the fitness industry. It was even faster than what I could come up with from my own brain.

In the video below, you’ll learn what chatGPT is, 5 creative ways to use chatGPT to create YouTube videos, the limitations of using chatGPT and my recommendations on how to use it.

What Is ChatGPT?

If you go to openAI.com, it says, we’ve trained a model called ChatGPT, which interacts in a conversational way. The dialogue format makes it possible for chatGPT to answer follow up questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests. It’s revolutionary artificial intelligence technology because it’s trained to learn what humans mean when they ask a question. As you’ll see later, it has a remarkable ability to engage in conversational dialogue and provide responses that are surprisingly human.

Use AI To Get Niche/Sub-Niche Ideas

Previously, I asked the AI to list 10 niches in the fitness industry. Here’s the list of the sub niches the AI came up with in response to my request. You could choose anyone of these sub niches and run with it, but I recommend going a little deeper and niching down even more.

I asked the AI “Provide a list of 10 sub niches for the strength training niche.” Here’s what I got. I’ve recently been experimenting with high intensity interval training, so I’m going to go with that sub niche. As you can see, chatGPT is a fast way to come up with niche ideas for future YouTube channels. It can also help you to niche down, so you can target a specific audience.

Use AI To Create YouTube Video Titles

Now, I need to come up with some creative video titles based upon the sub niche that I’ve chosen As simply feed the sub niche back into the machine and ask to come up with some video titles.

“List out 10 titles for a YouTube video on high intensity training.”  Wow, that’s incredible. I definitely couldn’t have come up with such creative video titles in such a short time. I’ll probably go with title number nine that says, “Maximize Your Time with these quick and effective HIIT workouts.” 

Recently, the MorningFame keyword research tool added the AI to generate new title ideas. I simple entered the title of this video, “5 Creative Ways to Use ChatGPT to make YouTube videos” I then clicked on “Get AI title ideas.” It says, powered by OpenAI. “Unlock 5 Creative Ways to use ChatGPT to dominate YouTube videos” It’s even got a relevancy score of 60%.

The second one also has 60%. “5 creative strategies to use chatGPT to make professional YouTube videos”  I kind like the first suggestion the best because it stands out from all the other titles. I’ll place a link to MORNINGFAME in the description below this video.

The next step is to create a detailed outline or a video script for my video

Use AI To Create An Outline Or Video Script

If you need inspiration for what to say in your video, you can use the AI to generate a video script. “Write a video script for a video titled Maximize Your Time with These Quick and Effective HIIT Workouts.”  Here’s the video script the AI generated within a few seconds.

Incredible, isn’t it? 

Now, I don’t recommend just reading the script on your video, but use it as inspiration and add your own creativity and personality to it. This will help make your video unique and prevent YouTube from flagging your video for duplicate content.

Your thumbnail is the first thing viewers see when they discover your video in the search engines, on youtube.com or in suggested videos. Let’s ask chatGPT for YouTube thumbnail ideas. “Give me 10 ideas for a YouTube thumbnail that’s titled Maximize Your Time With These Quick and Effective HIIT Workouts.”  The first suggestion says “a picture of a person looking at their watch with a caption that reads Maximize your Time.”

I like suggestion number six that says “a picture of a person checking their phone with a caption that reads efficient workouts for the time strapped.” though I’d probably use less words in the thumbnail. The beauty of using this thumbnail idea generator is that it reduces the time to come up with ideas for future thumbnails. It stimulates my inspiration and creativity. 

Later on,  I’ll also discuss the limitations of using chaGPT and my recommendations on how to use it.

Use AI To Write A Video Description

The first few lines of your video description helps your video get discovered in the search engines. Plus, it’s what viewers can read while they’re watching the video. Ideally, you want to include your main keywords in the video description, but sometimes it’s hard coming up with a creative description for  your YouTube video. Let’s see if the AI can help us…  Write 3 paragraphs for a YouTube video titled, “Maximize Your Time with These Quick and Effective HIIT Workouts“. Here are the paragraphs ChatGPT produced.

You can also use chatGPT for generating captions, subtitles, or coming up with a creative reply with YouTube comments. It’s only limited by your imagination.

Limitations Of Using ChatGPT

Keep in mind that chatGPT is trained to provide answers that feel right to humans, but doesn’t always provide the correct information.

My Recommendation

My recommendation is to utilize the AI to speed up the video making process by using it to stimulate your creativity and inspiration. It’s another free tool you can use in your arsenal to make better videos.
