How to grow faster than ever on YouTube with Tube Buddy?

Who is this tool for?

Is your YouTube channel stuck at a few views and subscribers? Have you been trying to grow your channel for a long time? Or your channel has enough requirements for monetization, but you want to be more famous and earn more through YouTube?

If that is so, then you're welcome. Here, I'll be writing about a popular tool that millions of YouTubers are using, discuss its features, and will tell you where & how you can get it. If you wish, then you can also read a similar article about growing on YouTube, which is on this site.

Introduction to TubeBuddy (first launched in December 2014)

TubeBuddy is a 100% YouTube-certified tool, that allows you to optimize your videos to get more views. Since it makes your videos better rather than watching your videos as a robot, it is completely fair.

Optimizing a video means making its title, description, tags, & thumbnail compatible with what people search on YouTube, and also what people are interested in.

This causes your video to rank higher on YouTube search and get recommended on the home page / browse page more than usual. Consequently, there will be more impressions, click-through rate, and more watch time. It will also earn you more subscribers.

Note: You might want to visit TubeBuddy's official page or their Twitter page for more details.

Features of TubeBuddy

TubeBuddy offers many features, and I have described the most useful ones among them. These features altogether make this app a must-have thing for YouTubers. Below, I have listed those features along with their description and some screenshots.

Keyword Explorer

A keyword is a 3-6 word phrase that indicates the main topic of a video. Pretend that the title of your video is: "how to make a youtube channel properly - easy tutorial"; then the keyword for this title would be "make a youtube channel."

But not any keyword will grant you a lot of views. To rank your video on search, you need to find out what keyword is searched often, and whether it is too competitive or not. And with TubeBuddy's Keyword Explorer tool, you can find out just that.

It will tell you how worth a keyword is to use in your video. For instance, "make a youtube channel 2021" is a lot better-performing keyword than "make a youtube channel." You can do a lot of keyword research to find out the keyword that fits the best.

SEO Studio

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. In YouTube, SEO means optimizing your videos to potentially rank them higher on youtube search. And TubeBuddy's SEO Studio has been made for just that.

In TubeBuddy's SEO Studio, you just need to enter the keyword that you took from the keyword explorer. Then it will look for that keyword in your selected video's title, description, & tags to calculate the SEO score.

Once it has scanned your video, it will tell you what you need to do with the title, description, & tags to get a 100% SEO score. After your video's SEO score reaches 100%, you'll notice that your video is ranking in the top list on youtube search, with that specific keyword.

Note: The keyword must be good enough to make your video rank on the top. Also, remember that it takes some time for youtube to update your video.

Click Magnet

Suppose, you got your video ranked at the top with the help of the SEO studio. But if none clicks on your video, that is useless, right? So you need to make a thumbnail that will catch people's eyes, persuading them to click on your video.

Click Magnet is all about helping you make better thumbnails and increase your CTR (Click Through Rate). When you head over to Click Magnet, you'll find it divided into four sectors. They are Power Rankings, Element Inspector, CTR Opportunities, and Advanced Analytics.

Sub-tools of Click Magnet.

Power Rankings (Click Magnet Part 1)

This sub-tool ranks your videos according to their CTR and watch time. You should make your video in a similar way you created the high-performing videos on your channel. I mean, the thumbnail and the style of the future videos should be similar to the high-ranking videos.

For instance, the videos you divided into sectors got more watch time. Therefore, do the same with your future videos as well. You know best how you created your high-performing videos, right?

Element Inspector (Click Magnet Part 2)

This tool will give you an idea of actually what in your thumbnails are bringing more clicks. For instance, you might be getting more clicks on the thumbnails you included a face with a specific emotion.

CTR Opportunities (Click Magnet Part 3)

Have you ever come across a video that smells bad but tastes really good? What I mean is, there might be some videos on your channel that have high watch time but low CTRs, which clearly shows the great potential of earning more watch time from those videos.

If you improve the thumbnails of those videos, their CTRs might increase and you'll earn a lot more watch time with the combination of high watch time and high CTRs. And this tool lists those bad-smelling but good-tasting videos for you so that you can focus on improving their thumbnails.

Advanced Analytics (Click Magnet Part 4)

It is nothing else than just a more detailed analytics system of your channel. It is more informative than what already comes with youtube. It is not super cool stuff, but I still appreciate it for allowing YouTubers to enjoy their channel's growth with more information.

A/B Test

It is similar to the Click Magnet tool. It is designed to compare two thumbnails by calculating how better one is performing than the other one in the case of CTRs. It is helpful when you want to change the thumbnail of a video that has low CTR and also want to make sure that the new thumbnail is worth it.

Are you wondering how it works? It collects the CTR data of both thumbnails for a few days (minimum 4 days). Then, it compares them to calculate how better one performed than the other.

Bulk Processing

This tool isn't directly related to video optimization. However, it is really useful and time-saving. This tool allows you to copy-paste, delete, edit, replace, and update a lot of videos' titles, descriptions, tags, cards, and even end-screen elements, with just one click.

Pretend that your youtube channel has 50+ videos, and each of them has your Facebook page link in the description. But now you created an Instagram account and you want to share that link too, in the descriptions of your videos. Won't it be too hard?

But with the Bulk Processing tool, you can add your Instagram page link below your Facebook link in the description of each of your videos, with just a single click. Too easy; aren't I right?

Thumbnail Generator

You might be using additional software on your PC/Mobile for creating thumbnails. Or, you might be just letting youtube set a random thumbnail. But with TubeBuddy's inbuilt professional thumbnail generator, you can make better thumbnails with less time, without any other software.

Besides, when you head over to the thumbnail generator tool, you'll find some tips and tricks on how to make better thumbnails. You can check them out if you wish.

Comment Moderation

It adds more filters on the comment page, in addition to the two filters (I have/haven't responded) which already comes with YouTube. This feature helps you to find a specific kind of comment a lot easier. It also lets you know which comments are from your recent subscribers (comment spotlight).

Another feature of it that I like very much, is you can style your text and even add emojis while posting a comment on a YouTube video. You'll know more about comment moderation when you start to use it.

Is Tube Buddy safe?

Features of Tube Buddy are amazing; its costs are reasonable. Now what you might want to know about is its safety. Is Tube Buddy safe?

Yes, it is. If it wasn't safe, it wouldn't be certified by YouTube. It won't do such a thing as editing/deleting your videos unless you tell it to do so. So far, there hasn't been a complaint about it, except for bugs/glitches (bugs are also very rare). You can use this software without worrying about your channel or your privacy.
