How Women Creators Can Use Keywords to Boost Their YouTube Channel and Reach the Right Audience.

Welcome, Creators! 🌺

Let’s dive into something crucial for our YouTube journey today—keywords! ✨

You may ask, “Spandana, why are keywords so important?” Well, think of them like the recipe for your favourite South Indian dish. Without the right ingredients, you won’t get that perfect taste! In the same way, keywords are what make your content discoverable on YouTube. 🎥

But don’t worry; it’s not rocket science! Today, I’ll walk you through some easy-to-use tools for keyword research. We’ll make this journey simple, fun, and impactful. Let’s get started! 🌟

What Are Keywords and Why Should We Care? 🤔

Keywords are the words or phrases people type into YouTube's search bar when looking for content. If your video uses the right keywords, bam 💥—it pops up in their search results. That means more viewers, more engagement, and more growth for your channel!

For example:

• Search: “Quick dosa recipe”

• Video Title: “5-Minute Crispy Dosa Recipe for Busy Moms”

When you match what your audience is searching for, magic happens! ✨
