YouTube TubeBuddy

[Riderguide]

Just added Tube Buddy to my Firefox browzer jobby. Anyone else use it? Any good? What are the best features?

It’s ok. However, keywords everywhere is way better for choosing titles

What is Keywords Everywhere?

What is Keywords Everywhere?

It tells you how many people are searching for whatever keywords and roughly how competitive they are etc.

It’s not 100% set and forget which brings in traffic to your videos but it’s a good starting point and base/rough way of getting traffic by finding keywords people are searching for

P.s it’s a chrome plugin

Is it free? TubeBuddy is a paid for thing isn't it?

 

[Riderguide]

I haven’t paid for it. Just a browser plug in. Intend to try it out today. If it starts trying to ask me for money I’ll unplug it

I have had vid IQ installed.. Not heard of TubeBuddy.. So can't say.

Ive used TubeBuddy, liked the suggested keywords. They have some cool features involving bulk updates, but thats all paid for.
@dandoolittle thanks for the Keywords Everywhere, thats all I need.

Good work. Yeh. Looking at that

I've been using Tube buddy for many years and love it.

Its not overly expensive and it gives me what I need. The main thing I've found it useful for is the information it gives on other videos and channels.

I did see that it shows tags other videos use. That’s a cool feature.

Completely forgot about this. Very cool that you can see tags in other videos.

I use the free version, makes thumbnails very easily. Seeing how your video ranks as tagged is cool if it’s legit.

I just installed the free version of Tubebuddy. I loved the keyword search function until it locked me out, now it just prompts for me to pay for it. Helpful as it was I'm not paying $9/mo to use it. My channel is new and just a hobby which isn't earning me anything, I don't need it to become an expense at this time.

The rest of the free features are okay but not super useful, I'm not sure if I'll keep Tubebuddy installed or get rid of it. Seems like you need to pay to really get any value out of it.

All I really want is a keyword search tool. Are there any useful and truly free SEO tools out there to use for Youtube?

Still running vidIQ free version, but I don't extensively use it once a while I just have a glance, so it's OK for me.

Turns out Tubebuddy isn't so expensive for small new channels like mine. With all the small channel discounts it only costs $43 for an entire year, or $3.60/mo.

So I took the plunge and bought Tubebuddy for a year.

And so far it's been an interesting tool. I really like the SEO keyword search and tag functions. If the data it presents is correct then a lot of my tag and keywords I've been using haven't been very effective. Which might explain my channel's glacial growth to some degree. I've gone through my tags and descriptions and made some changes.

It will be an interesting experiment to see if using Tubebuddy helps my channel or ends up being a useless expenditure! I have to admit though, learning all of this and trying to utilize my new knowledge is kind of fun.
