Keywords and YouTube

Anytime you create content online keywords are important. These are the terms that best describe your post and lead people to it. For example, this blog post covers the use of keywords on YouTube so the most important keywords would be “keywords” and “YouTube.” These go along with one or two more that link to my blog as a whole.

When it comes to YouTube keywords are vital because of how much content there is to sort through. Without the use of good keywords it is almost impossible for your post to gain a significant amount of views. At the same time, you should not have an overwhelming amount because it does not look professional and it may pull viewers away if they are not accurate. When uploading a video include no more than five relevant tags, these should be the most important points and showcase what your video is about. All of your keywords should be mentioned in your content, just saying the words helps view count through voice recognition software.

Subtitles are available on almost all YouTube videos because of special voice recognition software that deciphers what is being said. This means that the more often keywords are spoken, the more they will be included in the subtitles and increase the chance of your video being found. Maximizing the amount of exposure your content has is important for promotion when working with a business or if you are trying to launch a successful personal channel.


Without keywords users will not find your work when they search, so make sure you put thought into them and make them count. If you pay close attention it will make you much more successful online.

How much lettuce have you eaten?

Image
Have you ever thought about how much lettuce you have eaten over the course of your life? As of yesterday I can say I have. In fact I became so interested in the answer that I came up with a way to figure out your (approximate) lettuce count. Here is what I did. First I found out what the serving size of lettuce is. Since there are so many different kinds I decided to use romaine since it is a good middle ground between iceberg and dark greens and I have eaten a variety. It turns out that a serving size is two cups. There are six cups of torn romaine in one head, and there are about 10 leaves per head. This means that a serving size is actually 1.66 leaves. I approximated that one leaf is broken up into seven pieces, so there are about 23.33 pieces of lettuce per entree salad. Or 11.66 pieces in a side salad. Now for the less complicated part. I would say that between the ages of five and 12 I ate a side salad about twice a week. From the age of 13-20 I would say I eat an e

My Pinterest Problem

Image
Often times I picture my future self-walking into a support group and saying: Hello, my name is Emily and I’m addicted to Pinterest . I’m serious. As a person who loves to create, it is literally my kryptonite when I have free time. I can spend hours looking at DIY’s, recipes, drawing inspiration, workouts I’ll never do, and everything else you can think of. But today I’ve been pondering if my “problem” is actually a problem, and I’ll tell you my reasons for why I think it’s really not. First of all, Pinterest has saved me a ton of money. When I think back over the few years I’ve been active on the website I remember a lot of instances when I needed a quick fix, or a solution to those things that you just can’t avoid in everyday life. It has taught me that paint chips make great (free!) dorm decorations. How to get grease off your shirt when you spill lettuce wraps all over yourself. And even how to keep raspberries fresh for longer. It is my go-to when I run into an eme

Why women don't have pockets.

Image
This week I would like to address a problem being overlooked all over the world, and that is pockets on women’s clothing. It may seem like a joke, but there is a legitimate argument to be made and I feel that it will be worth taking a few minutes to learn about why there is so much controversy surrounding something so simple. Shoutout to my RD Hailey for her exceedingly accurate reply. I have always been annoyed by the lack of decent pockets on my clothes. It seems really unfair that men have massive pockets big enough for a full size iPad while I am often given tiny pockets or none at all. The final straw came a couple of weeks ago when I discovered that my favorite pair of shorts did have pockets, but they were sewn shut and impossible for me to use. This sparked a Twitter rant to start. But more importantly, it got me thinking. Why do men have excess space while women are given next to nothing? I decided to find out. Long story short, women have never really had the l
