Day 4: Make video descriptions work for you
YouTube is one of the largest search engines in the world. And writing descriptions with keywords can help viewers find your videos more easily through search.( time 15 mins, basic level)

Subject read:
Best practices:
-Write searchable descriptions.
+Descriptions can convey valuable information that helps viewers find your videos in search results and understand what they’ll be watching. Well-written descriptions with the right keywords can boost views and watch time because they help your video show up in search results.
-Maximize your descriptions.
+The description field is incredibly useful for helping viewers find, learn about, and decide if they’d like to watch your videos. You can think about the description as two parts -- what viewers see before they click “Show more” and what they see after.
-Create the descriptions viewers can use.
+The description field can only display text, but it doesn’t have to be a boring experience. You can add interactive features that could help increase views, highlight collaborations, and grow your subscriber base.
-Measure effectiveness.
+Find out how your description looks on different pages and devices, along with how it performs in YouTube Analytics, to learn if it’s attracting viewers.
-Steps to setup video descriptions on youtube.
+Every time you upload a new video to your channel, you’ll be prompted to write a description.The more you make your video stand out using tools like the description field, the better chance it has of succeeding on YouTube. It’s also easy to update video descriptions should you decide to add or remove information later on.
