How to make your YouTube titles 10x better

If you want people to click your YouTube video, your title and thumbnail is super important. Making a great video doesn’t matter if the title isn’t making your potential viewer curious to watch it.

How to make your YouTube titles 10x better

The difference between a video with an 8% click-through-rate and a 12% click-through-rate can come down to the wording in your title, but the latter can potentially lead to way more exposure by the YouTube algorithm, resulting in more clicks (=more views).

This is why small adjustments and improvements to the title and thumbnails can have huge impact on your channel’s overall performance.

There are a couple of key things to think about when it comes to titles. Generally, it is better to focus on one topic (than multiple) in the title, it should make the potential viewer curious to find out more, and numbers in the title can make it more specific and interesting.

It is also much better if the title creates a question in the potential viewer’s head, rather than providing an answer.

We want to make people curious to click, that is the whole point of the title.

Once they have clicked the video, we (of course) also have to deliver on what we promised in the title so the title isn’t misleading.

In the video below, I share some practical title models and examples of bad titles and how to turn them into good titles.
