2. Get More Out Of Every Video You Create
#SEJThinkTank @the_hoth
• In terms of what YouTube thinks is a quality video there are a lot of
factors
• However the most important ones are watch time and engagement.
• YouTube’s goal is to keep people on the site - so the longer you keep
people on, engaged, watching videos the better!
• Let’s break down each element:
Creating Videos
#SEJThinkTank @the_hoth
• Getting people to watch
• The title, description, thumb, get the click.

that match with highly searched topics, and using
bold colors

into the hook / preview of what it’s about, or a teaser
Creating Videos

3. Easy Video Optimization For More Traffic
#SEJThinkTank @the_hoth
• Studies are showing that there isn’t as much correlation between
keywords and actual rankings within YouTube - however that doesn’t
mean you shouldn’t optimize.
• As it may mean less for rankings, it still matters for understanding what
the video is about and relevancy!
Video Optimization
#SEJThinkTank @the_hoth
• There are a few basic video optimization things you’ll want to do to
make sure you’re giving max relevancy:
• Keyword in the upload filename, title, description
• This covers the basics, but is becoming less important vs other factors
over time
Video Optimization
#SEJThinkTank @the_hoth
• The bigger opportunity:
• Most channel traffic will
come from suggested videos
• How do you get there?
• TAGS!!

Reminder: Q&A At The End!
#SEJThinkTank @the_hoth

on camera!

• What if we could…
• …Make pro level videos, for a reasonable price?
• Create lots of content, in a scalable way?
• You didn’t have to be on video?
• You could just sit back and relax?
Video Is Hard
#SEJThinkTank @the_hoth
Would You Be Interested In Hearing About it?
#SEJThinkTank @the_hoth
• About a year ago we started looking for a solution for this.
• We found a bunch of solutions that didn’t really cut it.
• Most solutions were either poorly animated videos that didn’t really
match the quality we were looking for.
• Really cheesy spokesperson type videos that didn’t match our brand.
• Or on the other hand, videos that were custom made and way to
expensive to scale.
The Solution
#SEJThinkTank @the_hoth
• So we went to work.
• We found a national TV producer and brought her on board.
• Hired professional script writers
• We created a studio, hired professional actors
• Created an entire editing team
• And created a process for producing high quality video at scale….
