[00:00] In today's video, we're going to be

[00:01] talking about one of the most important

[00:03] things that can make or m your YouTube

[00:05] success, and that is your title. Listen,

[00:08] you can actually have the best video in

[00:10] the world, but if your title doesn't

[00:12] stop people in their track and make them

[00:14] to click, that video is simply going

[00:16] nowhere. So, in this video, I'm going to

[00:18] show you exactly how to write a YouTube

[00:20] title that goes viral. Not just decent

[00:23] titles, not okay titles, but titles that

[00:26] grabs attention, sparks curiosity, and

[00:30] make viewers click. I'm going to first

[00:32] of all talk about why titles really

[00:34] matter on YouTube. Here is the truth.

[00:36] YouTube is simply a battlefield for

[00:38] attention. Every single second, over 500

[00:42] videos get uploaded on YouTube. So, how

[00:45] exactly do you stand out? It's not your

[00:47] thumbnail alone. It is not just your

[00:50] content. Yes, it starts with your title.

[00:53] Your title is the very first promise

[00:55] you're making to your viewers. If it

[00:57] looks boring, confusing, and

[00:59] uninteresting, people will simply scroll

[01:02] past. But if it sparks curiosity and

[01:04] promises value, boom, you just want a

[01:07] click. And guys, clicks are everything

[01:09] because no clicks means no views, no

[01:12] watch time, no subscribers. And of

[01:15] course, that leads to no growth. So the

[01:17] first lesson is this. Titles are not

[01:19] just an afterthought. They are the main

[01:22] strategy. I'm going to be talking about

[01:23] the five biggest mistakes that creators

[01:26] make when titling their videos. Before

[01:28] we talk about what works, let's talk

[01:30] about what does not work. And new

[01:32] YouTubers are the major people that

[01:34] makes all of this mistakes every time.

[01:37] Number one is a lot of new YouTubers

[01:39] craft titles that are too vague. You see

[01:41] a new YouTuber titling a video like my

[01:43] day at the park. Nobody cares about your

[01:45] day at the park except you're a

[01:47] celebrity. Another mistake small

[01:49] YouTubers make is that their titles are

[01:51] always too long. And guys, I've always

[01:53] made this mistake until I learned

[01:55] better. And when I changed the tactics,

[01:57] everything changed. YouTube simply cut

[01:59] off after about 60 characters. So this

[02:02] simply means that once you title a video

[02:04] and that video is more than 60

[02:06] characters, YouTube is going to cut it

[02:08] off and the only thing people are going

[02:09] to be seeing is the first 60 characters.

[02:12] What if the sense in the video is not in

[02:14] the first 60 characters? How will people

[02:16] find the video interesting to click on?

[02:18] If people don't read the whole thing,

[02:20] they simply move on. Another mistake is

[02:22] that your title does not have any single

[02:24] curiosity. If your title gives away

[02:26] everything, then there is no reason to

[02:28] click. For instance, you want to talk

[02:30] about Toody and you know that a lot of

[02:32] persons already knows Tuddy. But you

[02:34] want even those people that knows about

[02:35] Tuddy to watch your video. Instead of

[02:38] writing how to get views for your

[02:40] channel using two booty, why not write

[02:42] how to get views for your channel using

[02:44] this secret app? Another mistake small

[02:46] YouTubers make and feel like they are

[02:48] wise is that they use a lot of

[02:50] clickbait. Clickbait with no delivery.

[02:53] If your video does not match the hype,

[02:55] viewers simply click away and very very

[02:57] fast. For someone like me, I hate

[02:59] clickbait a lot. If I'm watching a video

[03:01] and I see that what you're talking about

[03:03] is not what is in your title or what is

[03:05] on your thumbnail, I simply click away

[03:07] and that would even make me lose

[03:09] interest in your channel. Another

[03:11] mistake is your title is always all

[03:13] about you and not even your viewer. You

[03:15] see titles like my new camera setup.

[03:18] Titles like this do not connect. Instead

[03:20] of saying my new camera setup, why not

[03:22] say the camera setup that makes my video

[03:25] 10 times better? Sounds familiar, right?

[03:27] Don't worry, we're going to fix all of

[03:29] this in this video. Hi everyone, my name

[03:31] is Dbora and on this channel I bring you

[03:33] on how to grow your YouTube channel. So

[03:35] if these are the kind of videos you love

[03:36] to watch, do well to give this video a

[03:38] big thumbs up, subscribe to the channel

[03:40] and turn on your notification bell so

[03:42] whenever I upload any video, you're

[03:44] going to be the first to be notified.

[03:45] Thank you. Now, here's where things get

[03:48] exciting. There are four ingredients

[03:50] that a viral title usually have. The

[03:52] first ingredient of a viral title is

[03:54] curiosity. People simply click on a

[03:57] video because they want to know the

[03:58] title. Instead of saying how to get more

[04:01] views, you say why your videos are not

[04:04] getting views and then simply add how to

[04:06] fix it. Why your videos are not getting

[04:09] views and how to fix it. Can you see the

[04:12] difference? The first is simply boring

[04:15] and the second simply makes you to

[04:16] desire the answer. The second ingredient

[04:19] for a viral title is specificity. to

[04:22] understand that on YouTube numbers and

[04:24] details always win. Instead of saying

[04:27] make money online, you say three apps

[04:29] that helps me to make $1,000 every week.

[04:33] You are being specific. Now they know

[04:35] that they want to make money online.

[04:36] They know that you're making money

[04:38] online. And now they will be curious to

[04:40] know the app that you're using to make

[04:41] that money online. And the fact that

[04:43] you've mentioned such amount of money,

[04:44] they will make them to even be

[04:46] interested in such an app that helps you

[04:48] to make so much amount of money in one

[04:50] week. Instead of you just saying make

[04:51] money online, that's so vague. The third

[04:54] ingredient of a viral title is emotion

[04:57] and urgency. In YouTube, words like

[04:59] shocking worst mistakes. Don't do this

[05:03] before it's too late. Simply triggers

[05:06] emotions and helps people to want to

[05:08] take actions immediately. Example is the

[05:11] biggest mistakes that small YouTubers

[05:13] still make. Now, when a small YouTuber

[05:15] sees your video, she will be so eager,

[05:17] especially one that has not been getting

[05:18] views at all. she will be so eager, he

[05:20] or she will be so eager to click on that

[05:22] video because they want to know what

[05:24] they're doing wrong and how to fix it.

[05:26] The fourth ingredient is value for the

[05:29] viewer. Before you title any video, ask

[05:31] yourself what is in this video for my

[05:33] viewer. Like what exactly do I want them

[05:36] to take home from watching this video?

[05:38] Example, instead of saying my editing

[05:40] setup, you say try the editing setup

[05:42] that will make your video look

[05:44] professional. If your title combines

[05:46] curiosity specificity emotions and

[05:49] value, you are simply golden. Now, let

[05:52] me give you some plug and pay title

[05:53] formulas that works in almost all the

[05:55] niche on YouTube. You can literally copy

[05:57] this and just fill in the blanks. Number

[05:59] one is how to do something in short time

[06:02] frame. Example, how to get 4,000

[06:04] watchtime hours in 30 days. Number two,

[06:07] the number mistakes everyone makes about

[06:10] topic. For example, five mistakes new

[06:12] YouTubers still make in 2025. Number

[06:15] three, I tried method or two so you

[06:18] don't have to waste your time. Four,

[06:21] this thing changed my results. Example,

[06:23] I tried five AI editing apps so you

[06:25] don't have to waste your time. Four,

[06:27] this thing changed my result. Example,

[06:30] this one strategy doubled my views

[06:32] overnight. Five, what no one tells you

[06:35] about topic. Example, what no one tells

[06:37] you about making money online. and six

[06:40] number hacks to desired outcome. Seven

[06:42] hacks to explode your YouTube growth in

[06:45] 2025. And last but not the least, before

[06:48] you do X, watch this. Example, before

[06:51] you start a faceless YouTube channel,

[06:53] watch this video. So, you can basically

[06:55] use all of these things I have to fix in

[06:58] whatever you want to fix in. And this

[07:01] will literally help you. These are

[07:02] simply proven. They trigger curiosity,

[07:05] give value, and make people click. You

[07:07] may be asking, Debbie, how can I come

[07:09] with titles for my video? I'm going to

[07:10] be giving you a quick process on how you

[07:12] can come with titles for your video.

[07:15] First of all, you have to write down the

[07:17] main title, the main topic of your video

[07:19] in the simplest form as possible.

[07:21] Example, affiliate marketing for

[07:23] beginners. Like you want to make a

[07:25] video, simply write it down. What is

[07:27] your video about? You want to make a

[07:29] video about affiliate marketing,

[07:31] importance of affiliate marketing and

[07:33] all of that. Just write affiliate

[07:34] marketing for beginners in the simplest

[07:37] form. Number two, to ask yourself what

[07:39] is the benefit or pain points of

[07:41] affiliate marketing. Is it any of $100

[07:44] on YouTube or mistakes that stops

[07:46] beginners from earning on affiliate

[07:48] marketing? Number three, you have to add

[07:50] one viral trigger like urgency, a

[07:53] number, or even a strong emotion like

[07:56] three affiliate marketing mistakes that

[07:58] stops beginners from earning. Number

[08:00] four is to write five to 10 variations.

[08:02] Don't stop at one. Just test different

[08:04] versions. You know, in the first

[08:05] instance, I said you should write out

[08:07] the simplest form of your video. For

[08:09] example, affiliate marketing for

[08:11] beginners. And then I went down to say

[08:13] all other things. You can apart from

[08:15] affiliate marketing from for beginners.

[08:17] You can write out other things. You can

[08:18] coin out other topics, simple topics

[08:20] from the video you are making. Don't

[08:22] just use one. You can use tools like

[08:24] Tube Buddy, Vid IQ to check what is

[08:28] trending and how many people are simply

[08:30] searching for the video you want to do.

[08:32] You want to do a video on affiliate

[08:33] marketing, right? By the time you use

[08:35] Tubeuddy, use Tube Buddy. Use Vid IQ to

[08:38] search for trending topics and use

[08:39] Tubeuddy to search for the keywords that

[08:42] those people are typing on search

[08:43] engines. So to recap, avoid all those

[08:46] common title mistakes I've listed

[08:47] earlier. Always use the four viral

[08:49] ingredients. Curiosity, specificity,

[08:52] emotion, and value. Simply plug your

[08:55] idea into proven title formulas. Like I

[08:58] said, don't use one title. Always

[09:00] brainstorm and test until you get the

[09:02] viral title. And no, you don't have to

[09:04] get one title. If you've titled a

[09:06] particular video and you check your

[09:08] impression and your clickthrough rate

[09:09] and it's not doing so very well, use the

[09:12] next title you've crafted. So this

[09:14] simply means that as you are shooting a

[09:15] video, your video should not just have

[09:17] only one title. You should not just set

[09:19] up only one title for your video. Have

[09:21] up to five titles. So that by the time

[09:23] you check you by the time you upload

[09:25] with a particular title and you see that

[09:26] the title is not doing very well. And

[09:28] how do you know if your title is not

[09:29] doing well? If your impression is

[09:31] increasing and your clickthrough rate is

[09:33] reducing. Now in fact if your title is

[09:36] not doing well, your your impression is

[09:37] not going to increase because a lot of

[09:38] people are not going to click on it.

[09:40] When people are not clicking on it,

[09:41] YouTube is not going to show it to more

[09:42] people. And that simply means that your

[09:44] impression is not going to go up, right?

[09:46] So test different titles and always

[09:49] change. This also implies to your

[09:52] thumbnail. But this is not what we're

[09:53] talking about. If you want me to do a

[09:54] video on how to create viral thumbnail,

[09:57] if you like my thumbnails and you want

[09:58] me to do a video on how to create viral

[10:00] thumbnails, drop at the comment section.

[10:02] If you simply apply all this, your

[10:04] titles will get more clicks, your videos

[10:06] will get more views, and your channel

[10:08] will simply grow at a faster rate. Now,

[10:12] I want to hear from you. Drop one of

[10:13] your titles in the comment section and

[10:15] I'll simply help you improve it. And if

[10:17] you found this video helpful, don't

[10:18] forget to smash the like button,

[10:21] subscribe, and turn on your notification

[10:23] bell so that you don't get to miss any

[10:24] of my videos. Thank you for watching.
