YouTube Playlists: The Most Underutilized Feature on YouTube

Youtube playlists, why you want to use them, how you want to use them and how often you want to use them. This video is all about playlists, so stay tuned, derraleves.com, hey guys generally, is here now I’m in Paris working with some brands and businesses, but I take a moment here to talk about playlist.

Now. Playlist is a feature on YouTube that most content, creators and brands really don’t understand. They think it’s just a place to organize videos and it’s, not just a place to organize videos. Playlist is a very powerful feature that most people, don’t really understand how to use.

So in this video we’re, going to go in-depth on why you want to use playlist, how often you should use playlist and the types of playlists you should actually create very frequently alright. So let’s, go ahead and break down the playlist.

Now, when you actually create a playlist, you’re, actually creating a digital ID on YouTube and the only other way that you actually create a digital ID on YouTube is when you actually upload a video so from YouTube’s perspective.

You are creating content, you know whether you’re uploading, a video or organizing videos in a playlist that is new content for YouTube. That’s, a very big deal, especially when you need to upload frequently and consistently to YouTube.

There are two types of playlists number one series playlist now a serious playlist is telling YouTube that all these videos belong in a series that you need to watch them sequentially there and to create that all you need to do is create a new playlist and then Go ahead and hit your settings and then click the check box.

This is a series playlist. Now there’s, some powerful features for this. We’ll have to do it in another video when it comes to series playlist. But one thing that you want to keep in mind is: when you actually put a video in a series playlist, it cannot go into another series playlist.

It can only go into one, however, you can put it in other playlists out there for sure now. The second type is just an ordinary playlist. Now you can just create a playlist make sure that you fill out the description.

What I love about this is, you can actually organize videos in a specific niche or genre and add additional keywords to that playlist. Now what’s great about this is YouTube views it as a UID, and so you know, is put in search.

You’re able to find it in Google search, but also on YouTube search and as people are looking for certain types of videos, you know they’re able to see. You know a cluster of videos in a playlist that are all about a specific topic.

Now. The things that I like about it is that you can really vary the type of place that you can create and you can add more content to your YouTube channel without uploading new videos. Now one thing that I found that most content creators actually just create a few playlists and then they let it go and they’ll, add their videos to the playlist or whatever.

There needs to be a content release strategy with playlists, and what I would encourage you guys to do is if you’re, doing daily content to do at least one new playlist a week. If you’re doing every other week, content at least one new playlist every month, and if you’re, just doing monthly content, you could do a playlist every other month and that should be fine.

Now there’s, some real power when you actually create pointless, because you’re, actually creating a digital ID that YouTube recognizes as new content. Now, what you don’t want to do is create a playlist.

At the same time that you’re uploading, a video that’s, a very bad thing, because you’re, creating two IDs at the same time, and so the best way to do. It is just add your video to an established playlist and in 12 hours you can create a brand new playlist and add any videos that you want to it.

That way. It shows in the feed that people see that you actually created a new playlist YouTube. Sees it too, that you’re, not trying to clutter up all your uploads or creating those IDs all at once, and that’s.

A pretty big deal all right now before you go. I really love to hear your thoughts if you actually use playlist as a strategy for your YouTube channel, go ahead and put it in the comments below and also, if you do.

How often do you actually create those playlists love to hear your thoughts? Now guys, I need to go visit Paris with my daughter. She’s around here somewhere. I better find her.
