  • Try to invoke curiosity
    Something the people don't know or should know works very well.
    The fear of missing out is always an excellent trigger
  • Try to use trigger words like "dark", "secrets", "hidden".
    All trigger keywords you can find in my article about writing viral YouTube video titles.
  • Use short video titles
    Studies show that short video titles that aren't truncated increase the chances of a viral video.
    Check your video title against truncation in the Video title generator
  • Long tail keywords are less competitive, instead of "how to clean a pool", go for "how to clean a pool in the winter".
  • Use the thumbnail as an extension of your title.
    Don't repeat the words of the title in the thumbnail.
  • Don't use ALL CAPS.
    Some viewers think that you shout at them.
  • A good YouTube title communicates value
    For example a result, outcome or transformation.
