How long ago was this? Sounds absolutely intruiging.
I have to say, I’m rather obsessed with the concept of growing completely organically on YouTube. Am I shooting myself in the foot…?
On a side note, what’s the optimal number of hashtags to use in a YouTube description in everyone’s personal experience?

This was at the start of the year.
Regarding hashtags … I honestly don’t see too much of a point in using them because nobody searches by hashtag on YT. At best, they will slightly improve your SEO so maybe throw in a couple of hashtags of target keywords in the description.
When it comes to YouTubes own tags, just fill them up with targeted keywords. Good video SEO should be absolutely on point especially if you want to grow organically.
There are tools that can help you see the video tags of competitors videos that are doing well like vidiq

The big mistake people make when promoting YouTube videos on Instagram is, they create videos which their YouTube audience might like but their Instagram audience won’t. For example, if I had an Instagram page about dogs, if I make a vlog about my day in the life and the focus of the vlog is me riding my bike, very few people will be inclined to go from Instagram to my video. However, if the focus of the vlog is about my dog, and I have my dog as the thumbnail, etc. then Instagram followers will be more likely to visit my YouTube video from Instagram.
As far as promoting the actual video on Instagram, you want to post both stories and a normal wall/feed post. The wall/feed post should be a “sneak-peek” of your video (maybe an exciting moment, etc.) and then the story post(s) can just be the typical CTA type post(s).

Hi all, am no one nor do I have the Knoledge most of you have on insta. That said… Must agree with @Smylie, but there if there is a search bar there is always a way to do anything on the internet.
Am going to try to explain how to send your youtube followers to instagram, and if I make sense, they you can redirect them and more to your YT page, vid, etc. and youll understand why
First as an artits am assuming you have a website, if not, you should. Assuming you do, go to your YT and look and your best vids. then look at the best ones that engaged on your final screen. (on your web you should install redirect sorry forgot to mention it earlier) and on the end screen you should have no more than 2, 1 to follow your YT and the other one to promote websitegram you will type your yourwebsite/whatevercomes to mind and on the website using redirect will send them directly to your insta.
Now… if like smylie said you have a niche that is not your music, with your YT followers you can atrack them to your youtube aswell. Now on insta you need a call to action when you send them to your YT and is commenting something only insta followers know, try to be funny but not funnystupid, if you get what I mean.
am thinking if am forgeting something…
once we get to that point we play with the AI of YT, cause not only you can do SEO in search bar, tags, description but also your own pinned comment.
NOW… If you get a large audience that out of the blue goes directly to your YT vid watch and commment YT AI sees is that not only the vid is being watched but commented on it, thats why the silly, funny comment on your vid (or be creative with it) and will promote it, hash 3 to 5 is best (source Insta) YT cares about view retention and engagement (source YT)
why? you want your YT followers go to insta and then from insta to YT and engage? Cause YT AI has no info as to why this vid is being watched and commented on… only the source and since it only cares about view and engagement will consider it worth showing/promoting.
why only 2 end screens? its proven the human eye first looks right then left and attention spam is down to 8 sec so, if you fill ur end screen waste of time if some one thinks or knows different (agree to disagree)
Disclaimer, Do I do it? Not yet, am i writting a book for fun? no, have I seen proof that works, yes a lot and first hand.
Is it bulletproff? nothing is but if you do it right you might get a nice surprice.
why am I not doing it yet? no time and working on something else.
No… not selling anything, no… don’t know it all. no please dont send me pms cause if is not understood I did a poor job at explaining it and honestly will more likely not answer cause dont have the time sorry. but I hope the concept of what am trying to convey is helpful to someone. If not sorry to waste your time.
I might be new to the platforms… not new to Internet but ever since a personal matter simple tasks or what they seem to be simple tasks have become more dificult to comprehend like IG. Hence when I have the time… surely by then will have to learn tiktok, lol Have a great day!
