I’ve been vibing with a mix of catchy titles, solid thumbnails, and consistent uploads. But I use the trick by optimizing my metadata like a pro. Use tools like TubeBuddy to get keyword ideas, and make sure my title plus tags match up. Also, keep watch time high – that’s the real flex for SEO. Add chapters, ask questions to keep comments flowing, and always track your analytics to tweak what’s working. It’s a grind, but it pays off.
