Did you know you can add a video to more than one YouTube playlist? Did you know you can turn off playlist notifications so that you don't annoy your Twitter followers every time you make a new one? Well make you do know but you still need to watch this video.
If you use the YouTube Music App this is a great tip. There's one thing they did not cover in the video that I have a question about. Are the YouTube Music playlists separate from your regular YouTube playlists. I don't think they are but I wish they were.
As a rule, don’t compare your YouTube stats, to those of other YouTubers. Set realistic goals for your channel and only make comparisons with yourself. Otherwise, you might get discouraged when you see others racking up numbers on one single video that you can’t muster across your entire channel!

The other day I watched a video where the guy was telling people to copy all of their tags and paste them at the bottom of the video description. I found out awhile ago that there’s really no need to do that because clearly YouTube/Google has no problem reading the tags in the first place. Repeating them is not only redundant but it might also hurt your standings in YouTube search. I took this snippet of text right out of YouTube Creators Playbook
"Reminder: It is a violation of YouTube’s Terms of Service to use misleading metadata and blocks of keywords in your description field."
I’m sure this fellow meant well but I sure hope he reads this post and doesn’t get his channel banned.
Great video +dottotech you're so right about the benefits of using YouTube playlists. You mentioned that some people used to add intros - we used to be able to create those short intros in the YouTube editor but they got rid of that feature. It was very buggy so I guess it was for the best. I'm now using Animoto to make the playlist intros like I did with this Canva Tutorial Playlist that I curated. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNaEwbQaxEWC-ijIGhCpJIyJoAiS3GX2B I love that YouTube is including playlists in our analytics reports now too. Thanks for the tips!
