 There is one tool in TubeBuddy that once I started using it actually paid for my TubeBuddy subscription for me And that's what I'm going to be talking about in this video And I'm going to be sharing with you how I used it so that you can understand how you might want to do the same And it can maybe help you out generating a little bit more revenue for Your channel and whatever you're doing around your channel So let's get straight on into it shall we and I'll break the suspense. The tool is drumroll, please It is the find and replace tool I know it doesn't really sound too glamorous does it but it really has helped me a lot So let's look at what we can do with it and that's specifically what I did with it to generate some extra revenue for the channel So first of all, let me show you where to find this We're in the YouTube studio in our content section and here up at the top We've got the bulk and miscellaneous tools and the first one on the list actually in here is bulk video Processing and we've got find and replace text. We've also got thumbnail overlays Which we'll be talking about a little bit later as well, but we're going to start here with the find and replace text So how is it that this managed to pay for my TubeBuddy subscription for me? Well For the first hundred and fifty videos that I did on YouTube, I would guess it was around there I don't remember exactly the number, but it was something like that my my descriptions I didn't really put a huge amount of thought into them I put thought into what I was putting into my main description for the actual video But I certainly wasn't filling them up with the potential of five thousand maximum characters that you can have in there What you'll notice in my descriptions now if I open any one of these particular videos We've got the sort of main video description up here and something related to it And but this bit down at the bottom is actually text with things like, you know my my store take one tech I o slash store for place for people to put consultation calls with me take one tech I o slash consultation it makes sense really to have all of these links down here so that you know if anyone's watching and Wants to get in touch wants to you know have a chat about anything then there are ways for people to do that I also realized that people were interested in the sort of gear that I was using as well And so I do have a link down here for you know different gear that I'm using And what the point about this was I wasn't having this in the description when I first started my channel And at some point I saw somebody else doing this so I just basically thought that's a great idea I'll have to start doing that going forward, but as I say I had got 150 or some odd videos that were that were already up there So what I wanted to do was add in all of that extra information and also all of those affiliate links into all of my My video descriptions for those that existing content So that is where the Find and replace comes in it's really simple to use it can do more than this as well Actually, which I'll come to in a little while but it can do more than this But we can just click on to find and replace and it can be as simple as Find text so all I did was I did look for the sort of stock Template I was using rather for my descriptions and there was a bit of text in there It just wasn't as complete as it is now So I just did a simple search for that particular piece of text and then I added in the replacement text And by the way, this box looks a couple of lines deep But you can just add in you know up to the 5,000 characters if you wanted although that wouldn't leave much space for anything Would it and so I did a replace with all of the the links all of the you know The little emojis and stuff like that that I'd got in there as well wrote that all out and then just pasted it into here the replace text Then you can do things with search So for example look for things that are case sensitive so you can include that you can include Partial word matches as opposed to complete matches and then you can also search in titles or descriptions So I am talking now about an example where I did it in just the descriptions However, this is also a great way if you want to go and update titles You can just do it exactly the same way as well And then once you click on continue all it's going to do is just bring out all of the different matches It will tell you the videos where there is a match and then you just click on Basically go and it then takes the time to go away and add in all of these different Replacement text into all of your descriptions or into your titles and it takes a little while I'm talking like a few minutes or something like that But it's certainly a few minutes that you're not spending and it's also at saving you You know a lot more time than a few minutes because to actually go into every single video and replace all of that text would certainly be a Lot harder and longer job to actually do that So that was the first thing that I did with this particular tool and I added in all of my Amazon links Now what I actually got out of that was I got a tenfold increase on Click-throughs to my Amazon affiliate links because I Previously I did have a gear page on my website where I listed all the gear that I use and I'd have my Amazon affiliate links for all of those Different items that I use and recommend And then if I was doing a video about a specific piece of you know gear my mic or something like that I would have a link to it in the description then But I didn't have this sort of almost, you know a complete high-level gear list down in the description itself So I did get a tenfold increase in traffic through to my my Amazon Affiliate links and then from that that generated revenue, which has actually covered the cost of the the actual TubeBuddy Subscription now I should say that this is not something that's available on the pro plan, which is the lower plan It's on star or legend But yeah, it's certainly if you look at the cost of the star and the legend plan It's certainly if you're you know generating traffic and I've got views on your Your page then it may be something that you might want to to consider there I'll just mention again If you're not use using TubeBuddy Take one tech.io slash TubeBuddy Link in the description for this as well. That is my my affiliate link And that's one of the best ways to help out the channel is to is to use the affiliate links down below If it is something that you're interested in checking out for yourself And so that is a basic find-and-replace just finding a piece of text and then adding in some some text in its place We've also got some other options in here though. So we can either Insert after text or insert before text and you've also got remove or delete text So if there is a say for example, you've got a particular link or something in your description that you want to just completely Remove it's you know a dead link or something like that. You can just go and delete that and Add text to end of description or insert text at beginning of description or replace entire description So there's different things you can do there But this one in particular insert text at beginning of description This is one that I've used recently when I launched my e-cam live masterclass e-cam live masterclass.com To tell you everything from beginner through to experts of using e-cam live And linked to that is in the description When I launched that I wanted to because I've got over 80 videos In fact probably over 90 now on my site related to e-cam live I wanted to basically go through so that anyone who's coming back and watching those videos You know after I launched the masterclass I could leave a link to it So I actually went through and use this sort of prepend option to insert text at the beginning of the description So now at the beginning of all of my e-cam live videos I've got a little bit of text that says you know if you want to learn more about e-cam live in a structured manner Then check out the e-cam live masterclass lifetime access for just $149 and includes over $150 worth of bonuses too So I added in some words to that effect and so I added that into all of my e-cam live videos So it saved me a whole bunch of time in you know I certainly wouldn't have necessarily had the time to go back or wouldn't made the time Realistically to go back and physically add that in you know going into a video editing it pasting in the text coming out Going into the next one and so on it would have taken quite a long time and For sure that has driven people to the e-cam live masterclass and has driven sales So it's definitely been worthwhile from that perspective So really although this is quite a you know simple function really find and replace It's not particularly complex at the end of the day. Is it from a you know a Just written on paper. However, it has been quite powerful for me in terms of generating revenue from it for the channel And also just as I say saving me a bunch of time, which is what TubeBuddy does really well if you value your time Then yet TubeBuddy is definitely something worthwhile now mentioned the thumbnail overlays So with thumbnail overlays you can actually add a you know an image or a partial image over the top of your existing Thumbnails that you've got on your site on your sorry on your your YouTube channel I should say and so I'm going to be talking about that tool in the next video so that you can learn how to use it and Also discover what it can do for you
