before you post a single video on youtube

there's one thing that will make or break your views

and most beginners get this completely wrong

which is: how to write titles that get clicks

so here's the exact 3-part formula I used to get millions of views on youtube:

                            2
                        
most people overthink titles a lot. 

I see them often trying to be creative, thinking that maybe coming up with something unique or making it sound professional will work...

it rarely does 

in reality your title isn't there to be creative or sound “professional” 

it's there to confirm what the thumbnail showed and make people click

that's it

so in this thread I'mma break down the exact 3-part formula I use for every title

                            3
                        
every good title has 3 parts: 

- proven concept 
- power words 
- niche keywords

part 1: proven concepts

this is the structure of your title

on my channels 80% of my titles start with "how I make..." or "how to create..."

why? 

cuz I tested different formats and this one consistently got the highest CTR

here's how to find yours:

1) go to your top 3 competitors 

2) check their most popular videos 

3) copy the title structure they use most

if they keep using "how to" it's because it works

                            4
                        
part 2: power words

these are words that trigger emotions

examples: 

- viral 

- monetized 

- full course 

- 10k per month

look at viral videos in your niche and document which words show up most in titles

those become your go-to power words

use them in almost every title

                            5
                        
part 3: niche keywords

these are phrases people actually search for

in my niche: "faceless YouTube channel" 

"YouTube automation" "AI shorts"

to find + validate yours:

1) go to vidiq (free tool) 

2) search potential keywords 

3) look for 100K+ searches/month + medium competition

                            6
                        
here's how to combine all 3 parts:

let's say I'm making a video about creating historical content with AI

proven concept: "how I make" power words: "viral" + "full course" keywords: "YouTube automation"

final title: "how I make viral “Historical” YouTube automation videos with AI - full course"

                            7
                        
the process:

1) find 10 viral videos in your niche

2) document their proven concepts, power words, keywords

3) validate keywords on vidiq (100K+ searches/month)

4) write 10 title variations using the formula

5) pick the one YOU would actually click on

bonus: keep titles under 60 characters so they don't get cut off

                            8
                        
honestly if you just nail your titles using this formula and don't overcomplicate it

you'll see your CTR (click through rate) go up 

which means more views, more watch time, more money

now if you want my full breakdown on niche selection, packaging, and going viral

retweet + reply "TITLES" and I'll send it over
