Zzap!64 video title?
Added 2020-01-25 00:58:29 +0000 UTCSomething I probably put too much thought into it is finding the perfect title for videos. YouTube algorithms like keywords upfront, and people like things that are enticing but also honest and not clickbaity. A bit of a play on words can be nice too. In addition, it has to be quite short so it is not truncated when YouTube displays it.
With a great thumbnail AND title, a video can really take off instead of fade away. I have seen this happen with my past videos where I saw a video not doing well and then changed the title and watched it soar.
Below is my short list. Please vote on your favourite and let me know if you have any better or completely different ideas. Thank you so much!

That's pretty cool too. I wish I'd put it that way in the video.
