YouTube tips that make scheduling pay off
- Shorts must be vertical and short; regular videos work best in 16:9 (1920×1080).
- Put your main keyword at the start of the title — it is what YouTube search reads first.
- A custom thumbnail with a face and three words or fewer usually earns more clicks.
