YouTube Hashtags - How to Add Hashtags to Get More Views

YouTube hashtags can be used to get views and rank higher in search in 2020. But many YouTube channels aren't using it.

If you're wondering how to add YouTube hashtags above your title, it's easy!

Hashtags aren't just for other social media platforms like Instagram and Pinterest. Here's how to properly use hashtags on YouTube.

If you're familiar with hashtags on Pinterest, you know that all you need are 3-5 relevant hashtags closely related to your video or article.

In other words, because this video is all about how to use YouTube hashtags to get more views on your channel, my hashtags are:

#youtubehashtags #hashtagsforyoutube #getmoreviews #youtubetags

The best YouTube hashtags for views are those that are closely related to your video topic and niche.

I know this video was short and sweet, but I wanted to quickly get to the point! If you found it helpful, please SMASH that like button like nobody's business and consider subscribing to my channel!

Note that this doesn't work if you have enabled a location. So delete your location and it will work. You can't have both. Hope that helps.

We can add them in our title, right? Does that help better? So it doesn't matter where in the description we add them?

Interesting. I'm in the process or re-launching my Chanel having had it for years and done very little with it. One school of thought on the hashtags, which contradicts your view, is that you should hashtag your brand. That way, if someone enjoys your content it's easy to click on your hashtag and view other videos. Or, do you think that's duplicating the role of clicking through to your channel?

This worked great for me. Thanks, Melissa!

This is just what I'm looking for. You are the answer to my prayers. It's been up to 3 years since I started my channel and still have trouble getting my views up and going. Nice job.

Thank you for the content. Two months into my channel and going to start experimenting with hashtags! Just what I was looking for.

[azurih]

Wow thanks! I subbed as you were straight to the point, no waffle and filler (like many videos I saw on this)...just good and honest advice tysm!

[lovelessonsbygoldero]

Thank you...
I'm certainly going to add them to my videos right now

[inventingabetteryou]

Thanks for the concise video ! Two questions: 1.Can we add spaces in our hashtags if we use multiple words or they have to be connected like your example? 2. Is there a limit as to how many we add ?

[glenfordgreen]

Melissa your video was very helpful as I have never used a Hashtag in my description. I will definitely go to my old videos and add a few Hashtags.

[starlandandmore]

Where are hashtags placed, in the title, the description or both?

[JohannesJunkJournalLife]

I added the hashtags and they are not “blue” and/or clickable. What am I not doing?

[NeoOnenessFilms]

Thank you very much for this! Your video was the 3rd video I clicked on about this topic and gave me THE BEST explanation! I feel with certain topics don't require a Youtube content creator to deliver certain information in a silly goofy manner. Your delivery was straight to the point, mature, and very understandable. Thank you for that! Makes me want to examine your other content lol.

[preshizmp]

Does a hashtag have to exist already or can you just one up based on a phrase that pops up in search results?

[fishwithchris]

Thanks for clearing my mind, you explained it super short and simple but direct to the point.

[EyimofeB]

Thank you, hopefully this helps my channel grow

[mlbbapocalypse]

I need to see this because I need more views.

[theminimalartist]

Short and informational, she doesn’t need hashtags for me to watch her videos!

[ANessunoInteressaLaPoesia]

It's not working for me...I add the hashtags in the description, but they don't turn blue and not feature on the title. I have tried directly on the videotitle too with the same result: they do not turn blue. Do you know why please? Thanks in advance.
