Need Help With Your Marketing?

I know you’re busy, and don’t have time to write blog posts or create content to market your home inspection business . So I created the Inspector Branding Club. A Blog Post Library, Content Calendar, & more content you can put your own twist on, watermark, and post as your own.

This YouTube description template has been compiled over the years. It works for me in my markets but nothing is guaranteed. So move forward at your own risk & make it your own!

If you do not yet have a YouTube Channel, you can use your Gmail Account to create one. Then it’s time to upload.

Your YouTube description is important because it not only tells YouTube what the video is about so that it will display your video in the results, but it also gives you a place to put links you want your viewers to visit.

I’ve been on youtube for years and have MANY channels. (I’d tell you how many but honestly I don’t know…lol)

My very first upload to YouTube was this cheezy video. It looked horrible and was only 12 seconds. But, believe it or not, it currently is sitting with over 26,000 views!

***Disclaimer: I know the views mean nothing because there is no monetization or purpose for the video but it’s still kinda cool. Even though I have hundreds of “dislikes”***

Over the years I studied a lot of different channels and found a basic recipe that helps A LOT!

I’m going to be going through the parts of the “recipe” or “template” for YouTube.

The first thing is your title:

Main Keyword | A Broad Overview (Sell The Click)

For example, if I did a video on this blog post it would look something like.

YouTube Description Template • What You Need To Know (It’s More That Optimization)

After you put in your Title, it’s time for the meat! (YouTube Description) lol

I’m going to cover the different sections I have in my template.

Tell them what they are going to watch

Video Information & Disclaimer (This Is The Secret Sauce)

This part of your video description on YouTube is made of 5 parts.

Heading to let them know that this information is important.

***Video Information & Disclaimer***

Video Tags

Tags are also used in a separate section but typing them out here will help with ranking and give you a place to see them all without interruption. Type these out with commas to separate them. (These tell YouTube what your video is about. You can think of these as keywords or something like “hashtags”)

Tags: tagnumber1, tagnumber2, tagnumber3, tagnumber4

The Actual Video Link!

This is the dumbest & smartest part of this whole thing. As your video is processing it will give you the video URL. Paste it here! … There are many different reasons for this but let’s just say it helps. 🙂

Video Link: https://youtube.com/linktovideo

Disclaimers Matter!

I don’t know your channel or what you are doing but I’d recommend you put together a disclaimer. I am not a lawyer and shouldn’t be listened to when it comes to legal advice … EVER! But, below I’ve listed a sample

**Disclaimer** Links mentioned in this video may be affiliate links and I may receive compensation if you purchase services or products based on my recommendations. The discussions in this video are based on this specific inspection and should not be used to diagnose problems. If you feel you have issues with your home, you should hire a professional home inspector.

YouTube Hashtags

You have seen these on YouTube directly under the video. These are the 3 main things your video is about. There is a limit to 3 per video so be thoughtful when you decide what hashtags to use.

#first #second #third

After that, it’s time to publish your new YouTube video!

Hope this has helped!

Talked Soon!
