this keyword you'll dominate the search results and capture the audience's attention now once Chat GPT generates a list you don't just pick randomly you need to verify these keywords have actual demand that's where we bring in YouTube's own search data step two finding hightraffic keywords using YouTube search head over to YouTube's search bar this thing is a gold mine because it pulls real user data every time you start typing YouTube autos suggests search terms based on actual search volume these aren't random youtube is literally telling you what people are looking for let's say you're in the AI niche start by typing AI and watch what pops up you'll see suggestions like AI shorts AI video generator AI YouTube channel boom those are keywords people are actively searching for but we're not stopping there there are three simple tricks to unlock even more hightraic low competition keywords trick number one the alphabet method type your keyword then add a single letter after it check this out type in how to AI A and see that YouTube starts filling in the blanks with hyperspecific highly searched keywords now try how to AIB and how to AIC this method exposes hidden topics you wouldn't have thought of but that real people are actually searching for trick number two the underscore hack most people don't know this one but if you add an underscore between words YouTube will autofill the most searched terms around your topic for example type how to underscore Instagram and suddenly YouTube starts giving you the most in- demand search phrases this works crazy well for automation channels because it unlocks search terms that most people overlook trick number three competitor stalking this is where we spy on what's already working search for your main keyword then sort the results by most viewed in the last month what you're looking for is what's blowing up right now if you see a bunch of videos getting hundreds of thousands of views that's a clear sign that YouTube is actively pushing that keyword by the way guys this video is packed so I couldn't cover everything but inside AIU Academy I go deeper i do live streams where I walk members through my exact keyword research process i even show my exact process behind one of my top videos live and in real time want to see it check the link below by now you should have a solid list of potential viral keywords but we need to qualify them and make sure they actually have search demand before we start making videos step three validating keyword demand and competition with Vid IQ all right so now you've got a list of potential viral keywords but before you start making videos we need to separate the gold from the garbage because here's the thing just because a keyword exists doesn't mean people are still searching for it that's where Vid IQ comes in this tool lets us see if a keyword is actually worth chasing or if it's just a dead trend from years ago here's how to do it first search your keyword on YouTube look at the top three to five ranking videos and open them in new tabs now here's the trick we're not just looking at view counts a video could have millions of views but if nobody is searching for it anymore it's useless this is where Vid IQ's historical data comes into play the key metric views per hour here's what you need to look for if top ranking videos have steady views per hour anywhere from 5 to 100 plus depending on your channel size this is a good sign that means this keyword is getting searched consistently this is a green light youtube is actively pushing this content to new viewers but if a video has high total views but zero recent views per hour that's a dead keyword it means it used to be popular but nobody's searching for it anymore let's look at a popular keyword from a few years ago how to make a deep fake at first it looks promising with videos getting over 200,000 views but if we dig deeper we see that most of these videos were posted a few years ago and they aren't getting any views per hour that means it's completely useless even though this keyword got views no one is searching for it anymore this is why views per hour is so important it tells us whether a keyword is still generating interest right now a high views per hour count means the keyword is alive and trending while a low or zero views per hour means it's outdated and not worth targeting but finding hightraffic keywords isn't enough we also need to check if we can actually rank for them and that's exactly what we're doing next step four checking if you can rank for the keyword all right so just because a keyword gets crazy traffic doesn't mean you can actually rank for it if big channels are hogging the top spots YouTube is just going to bury your video under a pile of content nobody ever sees so how do we know if we can break through we run it through a simple test first check if the exact keyword is in the title search your keyword on YouTube look at the top ranking videos are they using the exact phrase word for word if not YouTube doesn't have a perfect match so you can be that perfect match the algorithm loves exact keyword alignment next check the channel sizes if you see small channels under 10K subs ranking in the top five that's a green light that means you don't need a massive audience to compete but if every video is from 100K plus sub channels YouTube is already favoring established creators skip it now look at video length if the top ranking videos are all short under 3 minutes that's an easy win why because longer highquality videos outrank shorter ones over time more watch time equals YouTube promotes you harder so if you can make a 5 to 8 minute version of that content and hold retention you can take over final hack thumbnails this one's huge if the top ranking videos have ugly outdated or lazy thumbnails that's a gold mine a better thumbnail equals higher CTR equals instant ranking boost look at AIU Academy we don't over complicate we hand you thumbnail styles that are already pulling insane CTRs just grab them plug them in and watch YouTube do the heavy lifting simple and effective next up let's talk about turning that keyword into a viral video step five turning keywords into views and revenue all right now you've got the keywords with insane potential you know what's trending and what people are searching for but here's the thing just knowing this isn't enough if you don't execute properly you're leaving thousands of views and dollars on the table so here's how to maximize every keyword you just found and turn it into a full-blown YouTube automation growth system step one batch 10 videos targeting your best keywords youtube rewards consistency the more content you put out the faster you get data on what works if you post one video and wait you're wasting time instead flood the algorithm with multiple videos hitting different angles of your keywords more uploads equals more chances to go viral step two link your shorts to long- form videos shorts are great for pulling in viewers fast but they don't pay much long- form content that's where watch time and monetization explode every short you make should have a call to action driving viewers to a related long- form video step three stack affiliate links in your descriptions if your content covers AI tools video editing software or tech tutorials you should be dropping affiliate links in every description this is free money that most people ignore think about it if just 1 to 2% of your viewers click and buy that adds up fast and the biggest rule of all stay consistent keyword research isn't a one-time thing the YouTube landscape constantly shifts the more you refine your process test new keywords and double down on what works the faster your channel grows so guys now you have my exact system for finding viral YouTube keywords fast the real question is are you actually going to use it remember
