TIPS: 1.The title should be what's about the video and have it as long as possible. YouTube will let you know if it's too long. Even having your city and state in the title will help people fing it. 2.Have http:// at the beginning of any URL's you have in your description, because if it's not http://, then it won't be clickable. 3.Add as many tags as possible and make sure they are related to the video. Have your city, county, surrounding towns and state in the description. Also have the terms: massage, massage therapist, massage therapy and others in the tags. 4.Videos are starting to show-up in search engines, so add as much information to the "Title", "Description" and "Tags" as possible. 5.Never upload your videos directly to your website, because they will load slow. Make sure you embed them from YouTube and they will load quick. 6.Thumbnail and titles are the first two things people see, before they view your video, so make sure they are interesting. |

Title
The title is one of the first people see and it's important to have it as descriptive as possible. The more interesting it is, the more than likely someone will view it too.
Description
The description is what the video is about and it's important to have as much information in there as possible. Always have http://www.massagenerd.com at the first thing and not www.massagenerd.com, because without the http:// at the beginning, it won't be clickable.
Tags
You can have upto 500 characters in the tags and try and have as many as possible. Do not add tags that do not represent your video, because that is called "Tag Gaming" and YouTube can pull your video for that.
Thumbnail
