Hi guys
I'm using this tool (https://aioseo.com/headline-analyzer/) to optimize my titles.
What do you think about it? Are those tips useful or are its tips just machine garbage that i shouldnt use.
For EXAMPLE:
My next video is about a 5 minute short film with mainly drone footage of traveling 1 year through southeast asia showing the different landscapes of thailand, laos, vietnam, cambodia, malaysia and indonesia and the title that i came up with was "The Spirit of Southeast Asia in 365 Days" but it only scored 68 points because it was missing powerful and emotional words.... so i tried to optimize and i came up with "The Spirit of Magical Southeast Asia in 365 Fascinating Days" and got whooping 87 points! Amazing??
I then checked successful videos in that nieche that went viral and they seemed shorter and more precise... so my question is, is it necessary to blow up a title with these powerful words of is it better to keep them shorter, especially in case of this example!?
Thanks guys, keep it up!
The tool link and instruction is in the first comment. Feel free to leave feedback. Thanks.

I've been exploring CreatorML's service and View Predictor, but honestly, the price is out of this world insanely expensive and not even fairly priced for an up-and-coming youtuber, nowhere close and no free tier in any sort.
What do you all think? have you used it? $100/month
Hey YouTubers, I always struggled with getting my videos to rank on YouTube. Writing the perfect title, description, and tags felt like a guessing game.
So, I built Makefy ( https://www.makefy.co )—an AI-powered tool that analyzes your video topic and suggests optimized YouTube titles, descriptions, and tags to boost visibility.
✅ Enter your video topic → get SEO-optimized metadata in seconds
✅ Multilingual support for ranking in different languages
✅ No more keyword guessing—AI finds what works best for your niche
Would this be useful to you? I’d love some feedback! Also, if you want to test it out, let me know.
As a small channel, the analytics information is not always sufficient to determine the quality/possible engagement of a thumbnail or video title.
What ways/tools are you using to create the best thumbnail+title combination?
You've probably never heard of it but the video talks about ROBLOX and why it sucks now. The point is, which title gets your attention the most? which one will get the most views?

you can reply with the number instead of the whole thing
I’d lean in with 6 if this video is like a SunnyV2 type documentary.
5 is the best title you have there among the others imo, although i dont like it.
The reasoning is that, you DONT want to give the answer to your viewers from the get go!
You WANT them to actually see the video, and give the answer there! It helps with retention..
If you straight up tell then that its bad, then except that they dont have to actually watch the video to know, you also WILL lose viewers that love roblox.
Why dont you try something like:
I tried roblox in 2023 so you dont have to?
Or
Is roblox worth it in 2023?
Something along these lines, so people will tune in to actually see your answer!
Good luck
I was amazed of all the positive input I got for my last title. It ended up being a hit.
Here’s my idea for the next one
(Its solo guitar Music with a closeup screen shot of me playing
How about…
“What to play on guitar when you need calming music”
Or
Want to play calming music? Try this…
TIA
Can you think of anything better?
How about these? Solo guitar: Calming music Soothing guitar music Peaceful relaxing guitar music
Depends of course on how clickbaity and/or cheeky you like to be in your titles. I like being cheeky sometimes, so I’d do something like: “A calm, private guitar solo. Just for you.” 😂
Or maybe: “Intimate calming guitar solo”. “Calm yourself down with this private guitar solo, just for you”. IDK MAN, CLICKBAIT THAT SHIT! 💃🏼
I’ve been trying to level up my content game lately, especially when it comes to figuring out what kind of videos are working for others in my niche. I feel like I’m spending hours manually checking what my competitors are uploading, which videos are trending, and what kind of formats/thumbnails/titles are performing.
Is there any AI tool or platform that helps automate this kind of YouTube research? Like something that can analyze a channel and give you insights on what's working — not just keywords or tags, but actual content strategy breakdowns.
Would love to hear what others are using or if you've found a workflow that works well. Even non-AI tools are welcome if they save time 😅
Thanks in advance!
I collected 88,823 English YouTube titles (long-form only, Shorts excluded) and compared different title features with their view counts.
The dataset is mostly gaming/entertainment, but the patterns were surprisingly consistent.
1. “I”-based titles perform best
Titles containing “I” (e.g., I tried…, I survived…) had ~1.6× higher median views.
First-person storytelling seems to create the strongest engagement signals.
2. Question titles underperform
Titles containing “?” or starting with How / Why / What show noticeably lower medians (~40–55% of baseline).
In this dataset, viewers responded much better to statements than questions.
3. Optimal length: 5–10 words, ~35–50 characters
Short enough for a clear hook, long enough for context.
Very long titles fall off steadily.
4. Numbers help only when they are at the start
Starting with a number (“5 Things I Learned…”) correlates with higher views.
Numbers buried in the middle show a negative trend.
5. Title structure matters
A simple structure performed best:
Hook – Context
The dash “–” correlates with better performance, while colons “:” correlate with weaker results (likely because they often appear in generic series/episode titles).
6. Moderate use of CAPS works
1–3 emphasized words in ALL CAPS correlate with slightly higher performance.
Full-title shouting wasn’t common enough to draw conclusions.
7. Small language quirks
“you” = slightly positive
“your” = slightly negative
“I” = strongest positive signal by far
TL;DR guide
Based on the data:
Avoid question titles
Aim for 5–10 words
Use a clear hook → “–” → short context
If using a number, put it at the start
Use occasional CAPS for emphasis
First-person titles (“I…”) perform unusually well
If anyone wants the raw counts, most common first words, bigrams, or more breakdowns, I can share them.
