How To Grow More & SEO Help?

[Doobs]

Hey everyone! I am on my 3rd week of creating content and I've got a few questions on how to improve on things post-production. As of right now, I sit at 20 subscribers with almost 300 views. I guess my first question would be; Is that a good start or should I be worried? My second question would be how I could optimize my videos so they come up in searches and whatnot? My third and final question is should I be posting my videos at a specific time of day? I usually finish my videos late and immediately post them. Should I instead schedule the video for a more "traffic-friendly" time?

Any feedback would be extremely appreciated!

It's a good start. The important thing is to start, not procrastinate.
You should optimize your tags/title/description with short and long tailed keywords. Max out t/t/d with as much info as you can to help the algorithm understand what your videos are about. You are unlikely to appear in search near the top and suggested on larger channels until you gain more channel authority and accumulate some view time across videos and channel overall.
Don't worry too much about time of day. It takes the algorithm at least a few hours to reference your video. The bigger channels get higher priority I assume. What's more important is consistency and quality. If your subs are loyal fans, they'll check your feed anyways. Don't forget some people watch in the morning, some at lunch, some on the commute, some at night.

Make sure to have your keywords relevant to the video. Otherwise people will click away early because they didn't find what they were searching for. This leads to a low audience retention rate which then results in low search ranks.

You both are a big help! I downloaded TubeBuddy and I'm just messing with it to learn how it works. I'll try and make more efficient titles and tags with video from now on as well.

I never really got the traffic friendly thing..like yes okay your videos will have more views at the time but your video will be up on the net forever. They can search your video anytime of the day so why would it matter if you post at a certain time really. Never got that. If Markiplier posted a video at 1AM, sure itll get 35% less views maybe BUT JUST for that time frame. By the morning it will be booming again when people get on. Someone explain this to me LOL. I post whenever I want and I'm working on a schedule as well, not finished with it yet though. (Edit. Not sure why my English was so bad LOL)

I think posting at a certain time is more a belief than a fact. So far nobody could prove the impact to me. It makes sense to a certain extend though. People can just watch so many videos in a day. When you manage to show up in their subscriber feed's very top the time they go online they will more likely watch your video than a different one.
So this may only be true for a very small percentage but may give your video that little bit of a kick if you really believe in it
