Make it a seriesYouTube description generator: how to use it
- List the search phrases a viewer would type to find this video, usually two or three, and write them down before you start.
- Write the first two sentences first. They are the part most viewers read, so they should say what the video shows and why it is worth watching.
- Add the 3 hashtags last, then read the whole text aloud to check it sounds natural. Put any links after the main text.
Example
Written by hand to show the format. Your result will be different.
- You type
- A 3-minute video on repotting a monstera without damaging the roots, for houseplant beginners.
- You get something like
- In this video you will see how to repot a monstera without damaging the roots, step by step. Use a pot one size larger, fresh potting mix, and a clean cut at any dead roots. #monstera #repotting #houseplants
Tips
- Put the search phrase early. Your first sentence should use the main phrase, such as 'repot a monstera', so the text matches what viewers type.
- Write for a person first. Two clear short paragraphs read better than a list of keywords, and viewers can tell the difference.
- Keep hashtags few. YouTube shows up to three of them above the title, and a long list does not help.
Questions
How long can a YouTube description be?
YouTube's help page says video descriptions have a character limit of 5,000 characters. Most useful descriptions are a small fraction of that length.
Do hashtags in the description help?
They can. YouTube shows up to three hashtags it considers most engaging by the video title. If a video has more than 60 hashtags, YouTube ignores all of them, so keep the list short.
Are tags more important than the description?
No. YouTube's help page says tags play a minimal role in a video's discovery, so the title, thumbnail and description deserve more of your time.
A description like this fits one upload, and once a topic supports several episodes, Mubuz can plan the run as a series and post each vertical video to YouTube Shorts at the times you set on a paid plan.
