Hi All.
I am George Pierce and this post is about getting noticed. The snapshot of the video above had been published for about 30 minutes. 30 MINUTES have passed due to 'sharing'. Sharing is one of the tricks that I share in my Faceless Video Training. The training is free and it is right here on SE. We will talk more about that soon.
First, is the above snapshot about getting noticed, if so, how?
It reveals a lot, probably a lot more than you might realize. Let's break it down so it can help you.
The image. In this case, we are looking at what is called a Thumbnail. Images can be so helpful when it comes to 'telling our story' as well as grabbing attention. It is too early to know if this thumbnail is working. On YT, I strive for a CTR of 6%.
Tags. Tags are keywords that people might type into their search boxes to find our content. To the right of the video, notice that all the tags ate green. What that means is that every tag that shows up as green is on page one of the YT search, That is a wonderful place to be, and the numbers on the little green boxes are the position or rank on page one. This is all thanks to a free tool called Keyword Explorer from TubeBuddy. You can find out more in my step-by-step training. The point is that getting on page one is not going to do you or me a whole lot of good if no one clicks on our thumbnail.
And that does happen...nobody clicks! You will see an example in a moment.
The Title. Titles are not my strong suit. Due to experience and intuition, my titles are usually OK, But if I have a poor CTR and change my thumbnail. and still have poot CTR, then my title is next to be changed. Semrush has a free AI Headline Generator that does well and has no limits. https://www.semrush.com/goodcontent/title-generator/
Likes. The likes that YT is tracking are FB likes. 47 likes in about half an hour are pretty good, YT considers likes to be a signal that people do like your content, so getting FB likes is another way to help you to get more exposure. I mentioned that I was sharing the video. I share the video on several of the major social media platforms, as well as on FB, I share it on a fan page, my group, and 6 other FB groups that are relative to the niche, in this case, classic TV.
Creator Suggested: This number is disappointing, YT lists videos as suggested videos. I am used to having several videos shown, but that is not happening yet for this channel.
Comments: There is one comment that is not showing up yet. Comments seem to beget more comments, so be sure to interact positively. This is a new channel, as your channel grows, comments will grow and positive interaction will act as a catalyst.
Next is a snapshot of a thumbnail that did NOT work.
Not everything that you and I do is going to work, it is part of the process. That is fine as long as we
take steps to fix it.
The top left is a new thumbnail and the improved stats. A new thumbnail does not always work, but it should. I say that because we are going to try a little harder and
we already know what does not work.
If you are struggling to get traction online, I can relate. What you are seeing above are real live examples of my training in action.
The process is 12 steps and everything is free, the training, the tools, and the resources.

In the process of the preliminary research (niche research), I am finding more and more applications of this process, and most of these channels are copying and pasting without SEO, thanks, again, Terri.
Now this is information that will benefit anyone reading this blog post. Thank you George Pierce for sharing it in the SE community.
Thank you, Terri. Finding stuff that works is not so easy, especially without a lot of costs.
Yes indeed it is, with your help you're making it much easier for so many that need it.
