Tune Your Channel So You Can Be Found
When an account is created on YouTube, it automatically creates a channel for that account.

At the time of this writing here are the 3 most important things you need to customize on your YouTube channel to maximize your chances of being found from the YouTube search box.
Title – Name it Well, Hint: Keywords
Naming your title accurately is important when potential viewers see the results of their YouTube search. Let people know what they can expect if they choose to visit your channel. You have up to 60 characters, be sure to use key phrases that are relevant to your marketplace to give you the best results.
Description – Be Yourself
Once on your channel, tell them a bit about yourself by filling in the description. Like many social networks, this is an opportunity to be a little personal. If your channel is a professional extension of your site or business, it is important to keep a professional tone while showing a little personality. The channel description shows up on the top part of the left hand column information box. The bottom portion shows text set another area of the channel depending on the channel type (mine is “Reporter”).
Tags – What Do Searchers In Your Market Search For?
Tags are YouTube’s way of giving video publishers a way to define how your video might show up in search results. What you put in here is the first indication to YouTube what to include in the results page when a YouTube visitor uses the search box.
While there are many Internet video marketing tips to consider, what I’ve found is entered in the tagging field has the greatest short term impact on searchers finding your channel on YouTube. Also, remember, Google owns YouTube, and it makes sense that Google would want YouTube video search results to be presented in Google search result pages. In other words, tag wisely. If your channel is tagged well, the benefits will extend to your actual videos.
One of your prime marketing objectives online is simply being found. Take a few minutes to customize your YouTube channel’s Title, Description, and Tags, and then deliver with the content you present. Track your lead sources and you may find YouTube to be an excellent lead source for your business.
