Tips for YouTube

  • Every YouTube post is exactly 1 video with a title between 2 and 100 characters.
  • The post text becomes the video description, with room for up to 5,000 characters.
  • Answer the "Made for kids" question honestly. YouTube asks it by law (COPPA).
  • Upload as Unlisted when a client or manager wants to watch the video before it is public.
  • Add a first comment, like a question for viewers or a link to a related video.

Example YouTube post

Title: How to repot a plant without killing it Description: In this video we repot 3 common house plants and show the 4 mistakes we see most. Chapters and the soil mix we use are below. First comment: Which plant should we repot next?

A plain title that matches what people search for, and a description that says what is inside. This is sample text to show the format, not a real customer post.

Checklist before you schedule a YouTube post

  • The text is under 5,000 characters for YouTube.
  • Exactly 1 video is attached.
  • No more than 1 photo or file is attached.
  • The required YouTube settings are filled in: Video title.
  • The first comment or thread parts are written, if you want them.
  • The channel sits under the right customer, so approval rules apply.
  • A time is picked, or the post uses the next free slot.

How approval, AI and analytics work on YouTube

Approval. If the YouTube channel belongs to a customer with approval turned on, every post waits for a yes. The client sees a preview on a review link and can approve, ask for changes or comment. A post that is changed after approval goes back for a new yes.

AI. The AI assistant can fit a post to YouTube, keeping it under 5,000 characters, in your brand voice. It can also translate it, suggest a first comment and write alt text for pictures. Nothing changes until you accept.

Analytics. YouTube shares results with apps like Postozo, so you can see numbers for the channel and for each published post on the analytics page. Links in your posts can also be shortened to count clicks.
