Sooo hi guys, what's up?
I would really like to ask you few things.
-How can I improve my tags? I really have hard times doing that, and I think they are not effective.
-When should I make "public" a video? I upload them "private" and then change them in public at a specific hour or day. Which one is the best for reaching "American users"?
-How could I improve my video descriptions? (if you don't mind check someone of mine out... I am not spamming, I only want you to have some examples).
-What hashtags should I use on Twitter to get more views on my tweets?
-How could I try to grow my subs and views?
Thank you to everyone who'll reply, because those are a lot of questions!

1. Tags are relevant in the SEO of your video, and help your video become more easily searched depending on what tags you use. Tags should remain consistent with the video, and channel as well. A good note is to go to your settings, and under your "upload defaults" have a wide array of tags that go along with your channel's genre, as well as what videos you plan to upload. So, for example if someone was utilizing a gaming channel, they could put tags like "ps4" "xbox" "pc gaming" "gaming" "gameplays" "let's play" etc. To have a wide range of tags that'll already be listed as soon as you upload; without having to type anything in. From there, just add tags that bottleneck to your specific video. Something like the name of the game, it's genre, or whatever else you can think of that relates to that specific game.
2. If you choose not to monetize your videos, you won't be able to "schedule" your uploads. Scheduled, private, unlisted, and public have been tweaked in the last few updated to YouTube, and now things run a bit more smoothly. Before, when you scheduled a video, or made it private then public, it'd have a difficult time in reaching your subscriber's feed. Now, even though it still has a few issues, you can simply continue to make your videos private, and release them accordingly (if you'd like). To answer the second part of this question, you'll need to look at your analytics and find out what times people are watching your videos the most, and go from there. That way you can form a schedule around that, and cater to the watch time. Alternatively, you can upload videos at different variables of time, and see which ones work best for you. A lot of people go by PST, and would upload videos at 3-4 PM PST during school year.
3. I just checked your description, and it's fine. Good job! Though, keep in mind that the first 3-4 lines in a description are what is seen on mobile devices. So any important links/info should be placed there!
4. Most people fail to realize that Twitter's social media block is the same as Facebook, or even Reddit. Twitter is a community with little sub-communities in it. However, these "communities" are utilized with hashtags. The best way to find out what hashtags to use, is to go to Twitter, and search for certain hashtags people are using for whatever particular subject you are Tweeting about, and based on their responses, use accordingly!
5. Growing your channel is important, though self growth is by far much more so. Understanding your audience, who they are, and what they want to see will help you grow your channel. If you've ever racked your brain trying to figure what your videos should be about, try and think "Why should someone watch a video of mine?" Go from there. Try to make your videos entertaining, educational, shareable, etc. The video should leave the person feeling like that accomplished something, or learned something by watching your video; not that they've wasted their time.
6. There was no sixth question, I'm a banana. Hello!
you were really explainatory and gave complete answers, and I appreciate the time you spent on that.
