When I'm brainstorming for titles I always think "how would I search for this if I was looking for it"

I'm using a free trial of a plugin called vidIQ and so far it's made MUCH better titles for me. I might pay for the plugin

Jay, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the exhaustion of negative titles. Negativity, drama, and fear may get you to click, but my videos have little negativity, drama, or fear. I appreciate the recommendation to look for inspiration out of my niche.

@SmartHobbies 2 ай бұрын

Good food for thought. I really liked the idea about borrowing title frameworks that work in other niches.

@goodenergi 2 ай бұрын

I’d actually disagree with “only do what works”. My top video ever (1.3 million) was something I’d never done before and is not that popular in my niche. the same with some of my other top videos. Try a mix of tried and true and new formats.

@navyseal4000 2 ай бұрын

I have no experience, but it stands to reason that the best idea is first to replicate, then to iterate. It sounds like you've gotten to understand through replication enough to the point that you're able to iterate

@leonkniel Ай бұрын

I'm not sure that's what he's saying. I just think that it's about finding inspiration in other niches as well as your own. Finding what works in every niche.

Ugh! I hate clickbait titles. I appreciate the need for them. But I refuse to click a clickbait title even if the content looks great. I'm so tired of reading "My best title advice yet..." and then next week it's "My best title advice ever!". Clever clickbait is good. That being said, my titles have been pretty boring. Thanks for the advice. Time to spice it up a little.

I resonate with your tentativeness around using fear in titles. I know it makes people click. But all else equal, I want a world with LESS fear in it. Fear jacks up our nervous system, and causes us to think more narrowly. It does seem questionable to me to create fear where it need not exist. (This all depending of course on the topic of the piece of content. An article about seatbelts might be a great time to use fear in a title)

This title in itself is based upon a template. I’ve seen many times 99% something…. It seems like 20% of the titles in KZfaq have this 99% so this title is probably among those 99% that you referred to.

Your title is *too long* and so is your long form video, therefore the complete opposite of people's time. You now currently have *_15K_* views, within 3 weeks. I did that in _3 hours,_ with a *brand new* channel.
