Hound Joke of the Week<\/p>\n<p>This Week in the Hound House:<\/p>\n<p>Last week I was at war with the rabbits. This week, it&#8217;s the<br \/>\nBoxelders: black bugs that have a red V shape on their wings.<br \/>\nThey&#8217;ve invaded the south side of my house. Piles of them are<br \/>\nlounging in the sun, right on my porch steps! They&#8217;re harmless.<br \/>\nBut what a nuisance. And gross. Sigh.<\/p>\n<p>======================================<br \/>\n1. Triple the Power of a Headline<br \/>\n======================================<\/p>\n<p>When you write a headline for a press release, a blog post, an<br \/>\narticle, or a page at your website, do you use a keyword or<br \/>\nkeyword phrase?<\/p>\n<p>If so, that might not be good enough.<\/p>\n<p>Use every character allowed to squeeze in two or even three<br \/>\nkeywords so the search engines bring you double or triple the<br \/>\ntraffic.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I understood the importance of using keywords until I<br \/>\ntook Jeff Johnson\u2019s \u201cTubeTraffic Secrets\u201d course. When writing<br \/>\nheadlines for YouTube videos, Jeff teaches, use every single<br \/>\nallotted character to squeeze in relevant keywords that apply to<br \/>\nthe content within the video.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t try to be clever, which often results in being vague.<br \/>\nConcentrate on keywords, which result in traffic.<\/p>\n<p>Step 7 in his seven-step course is called \u201cReoptimize<br \/>\nEverything,\u201d even crappy videos that I uploaded several years<br \/>\nago, before I knew what I was doing. That means I can go back and<br \/>\nwrite longer headlines, beef up each description and add about 20<br \/>\nmore tags (keywords!).<\/p>\n<p>Last night, I went to work to once again optimize a YouTube video<br \/>\nthat I thought had a pretty good headline. I took screenshots of<br \/>\nthe &#8220;before&#8221; and &#8220;after&#8221; versions so you can see how well I did<br \/>\nafter I finally figured <a href=\"https:\/\/publicityhound.com\/blog\/headline-writing-tip-keywords-beat-clever-every-time\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">out how to optimize a YouTube video<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re not on YouTube, this is a valuable lesson to<br \/>\nremember every time you write a headline.<\/p>\n<p>====================================<br \/>\n2. Not One of Those $2,000 Deals<br \/>\n====================================<\/p>\n<p>If you grimace every time an Internet marketer tries to sell you<br \/>\na course, it&#8217;s probably because you&#8217;ve become so accustomed to<br \/>\nseeing those $2,000 deals.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;YouTube Traffic Secrets&#8221; course and membership program I&#8217;ve<br \/>\nbeen raving about isn&#8217;t anywhere near that&#8211;not even close.<\/p>\n<p>Jeff Johnson has made creating your own TV channel on YouTube<br \/>\nvery affordable, even for people on a tight budget who need to<br \/>\nstretch the payments over three months.<\/p>\n<p>If you watch his videos, use his cheat sheets and checklists, and<br \/>\nfollow his advice, you&#8217;ll see almost immediate results&#8211;more<br \/>\ntraffic and more leads&#8211;without breaking the bank.<\/p>\n<p>No time for a course right now? That&#8217;s OK. You can download all<br \/>\nthe materials after the initial training and review them later.<\/p>\n<p>I immersed myself in &#8220;Tube Traffic Secrets&#8221; during the winter,<br \/>\nfinished he course, and stand behind it 100 percent. The<br \/>\nPublicity Hound gives it two paws up&#8211;way up!<\/p>\n<p>Sure, it&#8217;s great getting on a big TV show. But when the show is<br \/>\nover, it&#8217;s over. So is your traffic. Having your own TV channel<br \/>\non YouTube means the traffic keeps arriving forever.<\/p>\n<p>If you decide you don&#8217;t like the course or it isn&#8217;t for you, you<br \/>\nhave nothing to lose because Jeff offers a 30-day money-back<br \/>\nguarantee.<\/p>\n<p>He is offering &#8220;Double Membership&#8221; if you&#8217;re an Early Bird who<br \/>\nbuys the YouTube training before midnight tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I&#8217;m an affiliate. Yes, I earn a commission if you buy. And<br \/>\nyes, I&#8217;ll be happy to answer any questions you have about the<br \/>\ncourse if you&#8217;re on the fence.
