Video Marketing Secrets - On-Page YouTube SEO Cheat Sheet Checklist

This On-Page SEO Cheat Sheet is just an outline of what I've gathered from various Video Marketing and SEO guru's courses, and wrapped up into one very easy, simple checklist.

To use this cheat sheet effectively, just go down the list and check off each item as you optimize it.

This cheat sheet assumes you've already done your keyword research and have your video created and ready to upload to YouTube.

Please note – obviously there are no guarantees that following these steps will rank your video at any certain position, as there are many other elements besides On-Page SEO that need to happen.

That being said, because this checklist was put together from taking the best parts of $17-$67+ courses, you are getting a nice head start on any of your video SEO efforts.



Enjoy!
