Edit
May 22, 2015 : Agency report

Optimizing your YouTube channel with advanced features
  1. Verify your YouTube channel — Go to http://www.youtube.com/account_features. If your account status has not already been verified, click “Verify” and select to verify by Voice Call or SMS.
  2. Select your default video category — Go to http://www.youtube.com/account_defaults and change the category to the one that most closely reflects your type of channel, such as “music.” You can always change these manually for each video once that video has been uploaded.
  3. Compose a default footer for your video descriptions — Add links to your website and social media accounts as a standard footer in your default video description field. It’ll save you lots of extra typing later on. To do so, go tohttp://www.youtube.com/account_defaults. Again, you can always change these manually once a video is uploaded.
  4. Add tags that will apply to most of your videos — Tags help people find your video when searching on YouTube. Proper tagging can help increase monetization of your videos. Some suggested tags would include your artist name, any common misspellings, and popular keywords associated with your genre. Make sure tags with more than one word are enclosed in quotations, and don’t use commas. Avoid overly generic tags or tags that are not relevant to your video. Create your default tags here http://www.youtube.com/account_defaults.
  5. Grow your fanbase with Channel Ad, aka Fan Finder — With Fan Finder, YouTube will display your channel ad to viewers (as a skippable TrueView ad) at no cost to you — giving fans of other channels the chance to discover your videos!
To get started with a Channel Ad, go to https://www.youtube.com/featured_content. Click the button that says “select your channel ad” and choose a video to feature as your Fan Finder video. For tips on what makes a great Fan Finder video, visit http://www.youtube.com/yt/fanfinder/.
  1. Feature a video or playlist with Featured Content (formerly know as “InVideo programming”) — This feature allows you to highlight your most relevant content as an Annotation that appears when viewers watch your videos. To select content for InVideo programming, go to https://www.youtube.com/featured_content.
  2. Add your logo as a watermark — This is another great branding opportunity, as your logo will appear in the lower right corner of your videos as a clickable link leading back to your channel page. To upload your logo, go tohttps://www.youtube.com/branding. The image for the watermark should be a PNG or GIF file (1MB max) and ideally have a transparent background.
  3. Add keywords for your channel – Many of these keywords will be the same or similar to your default video tags. That’s ok. Use words that best describe the kind of content you are uploading to YouTube. To add keywords for your channel, go to https://www.youtube.com/advanced_settings.
  4. Tell YouTube about your associated website — What’s your official website? You can help YouTube improve the quality of their search results by entering in that URL at https://www.youtube.com/advanced_settings.
Warning: it helps to have some familiarity with Google’s Webmaster tool. If you’re kinda new to all this stuff, associating your official website with your YouTube channel can be a little frustrating. But it’s worth it. So keep trying, or just find an expert and ask for help.
  1. Enable channel recommendations — This will allow YouTube to recommend your channel to viewers outside of your existing audience. To do so, go to https://www.youtube.com/advanced_settings.
  2. Include your Google Analytics property tracking ID — If you’re already using Analytics, you can dive deeper into traffic stats by entering your Analytics ID into your YouTube account athttps://www.youtube.com/advanced_settings.
  3. Allow advertisements on your videos — Go to https://www.youtube.com/advanced_settings and make sure to check the checkbox to allow ads.
  4. Set your sharing preferences — Share, share, share! Go to https://www.youtube.com/account_sharing.
  5. Check your privacy settings — Modest? Go to https://www.youtube.com/account_privacy.
  6. Create your own compelling video thumbnail – The thumbnail is a quick snapshot that will represent your video on YouTube. In order to attract the most viewers, the thumbnail should be eye-catching. If your channel has been verified and is in good standing, you can (and should) upload your own custom image to make sure the thumbnail is as intriguing/exciting as possible. To upload your own custom thumbnail, click the “edit” button for the corresponding video in the Video Manager section of your account.
